Justin “The Eraser” Evans – Senior / 6’0″ / 199 – Texas A&M Games Watched: 2016 – Alabama, LSU, UCLA. 2015 – Alabama, Arizona State, Ole Miss, South Carolina Skinny: He is a little small to play in-the-box at the NFL level. He often tackles too high (or above the belt). This allows the ball […]

These three players are not at all household names but if you play in hardcore IDP leagues, then I advise you to grab them while you still can before they blow up the stat sheet for someone else. Defensive line DT – Sheldon Rankins, New Orleans Saints This 6’2” 305-pound mountain of a man from

The Alabama defense is always stocked with high-end NFL draft prospects, and 2016 was no exception. Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster and Tim Williams highlighted the best front-seven in college football. While Minkah Fitzpatrick, Marlon Humphrey and Eddie Jackson (@EJackson_4) headlined a scary defensive backfield. Jackson, the former 4-star from Lauderdale Lakes Florida, is headed for

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.

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

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

“It’s just business. Everything is just business with us: Buy for a nickel, sell for a dime.” – Spiros “Vondas” –The Wire In my opinion, no quote could ever better encapsulate the meaning of “Buying Low and Selling High” than the one posted above.

DE Derek Barnett Tennessee 6’3 265 lbs My Thoughts I have heard a lot of hype the last couple weeks on Barnett. His name is discussed whenever someone brings up the top D-line prospects. I felt like I needed to take a deeper look. I honestly expected to be “wowed” while watching his tape. Don’t
