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

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

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.

Prior to the start of the football season, 2017 was being talked about as the great quarterback (QB) drought.

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
