Tyus Bowser: 6’3 244 pounds Games watched: Vanderbilt, Memphis, San Diego St. My Thoughts: This is another player I enjoyed watching. Not overly flashy, but a guy who just gets it done. Houston asked him to do a lot of things on defense, playing the run, to rushing the passer and playing in coverage. That shows the coaching […]

Games watched Syracuse, North Carolina, Virginia Tech My Thoughts Injuries are the first thing that stands out when it comes to Price. He was absolutely hammered in his early college career by a string of injuries. In 2012, starting off as an ILB, he suffered a pectoral injury. The next year, 2013, back injury. In 2014, a

Every once in a while, a player comes into my vision that I can immediately see is meant to play the game of full contact American football. Connor Harris (@connorharris16) is one of these almost rare occurrences. This young man not only brings his lunch pail every day to football activities, he brings a lunch

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marquell Beckwith recently. When watching Beckwith, I noticed his effort and willingness to do anything in his power to help his team win. He has very good hands out of the backfield and really thrives in his pass- protection. I’m really looking forward to seeing Beckwith earn a shot

The Air Force Academy doesn’t usually produce NFL-sized wide receivers that are considered redzone threats. Well, Jalen Robinette made a name for himself at the Academy, and now will be looking to make a name for himself in the NFL. There’s no doubt that his skill set and size will be intriguing

Games reviewed: Buffalo, Toledo, Kent The player: One thing that I have to see from an edge rusher is quickness. This kid is quick! He won’t get stuck or shoved away from a play. Getting off a block is not an issue. This keeps him in the attack of the ball and not flat on his

DeShone Kizer 6’4” 233 lbs QB, Notre Dame 21 years old on draft day Games watched: Ohio State (2015), Texas, Miami, and Syracuse (2016) Since taking over the starting job in 2015, Deshone Kizer has been a mystifying prospect. I believe that this is due to Kizer’s inconsistency along with the feeling of uncertainty around

Prior to the start of the football season, 2017 was being talked about as the great quarterback (QB) drought. After 2016 boasted 2- or 3- great signal callers (if you like Paxton Lynch as much as I do), 2017 was looking really weak. Then things took an unexpected turn, prospects grew immensely, and things clearly

I realize Garrett is viewed as the best player in this draft class, but that does NOT mean he is the best IDP player. If you play in a sack-heavy scoring system, Garrett is a very intriguing prospect. Yet, I believe Barnett is the complete package. I know I should not be enamored by one

In the stacked safety class of 2017, Malik Hooker is right up there with the best of them (Jamal Adams, Jabrill Peppers, Budda Baker).

The Florida Gator defense has been an “elite cornerback” factory of late. In the 2016 class, there was Vernon Hargreaves who ended up being selected 11th overall by Tampa Bay. In the 2017 class, the Gators upped the ante by producing not one but two 1st round talents at the cornerback position. Quincy Wilson
