Highlight reels are a fun way to at least gauge a player’s upside. There are highlights reels for just about every player in this year’s draft. Place your favorite highlight reel here for any prospect and if it doesn’t speak for itself tell us why its your favorite.
The more the merrier. As long as you only do one or so per position group. This one snuck up on me, as I wasn’t expecting quite the upside that I saw. TJ Sanders DT/3tech South Carolina.
This guy is a savage rushing the passer from the 3 tech. I would be thrilled to pick him up round two considering we want to upgrade our pass rushing.
One of my favorite hybrid NT/3T in this draft. Don’t have a good idea of where he’ll likely go in the draft. Anywhere from early 3rd to late 4th is my initial impression. I like him better as a disruptive nose, but I think he has enough juice to be an effective 3T.
Can’t argue with his highlights. He is a pretty good example of why highlights aren’t everything for sure though. He has shades of Cordelle Patterson IMO.
See I think he plays longer (which really shows up as a pass-rusher, but not bigger (which really shows up against the run). His anchor is definitely his biggest question mark
He look ok against the run seen him make a couple nice plays, he plays with fire uses his length witch he’s only 6"2 1/2. His arms are something else. Everytime I watch him I like him more. If there looking at guys like Stewart and Oliver this guy is definately in play.
For sure I think he’s in play, and just like Stewart and Oliver, it would be as a SAM (I assume you mean Josaiah Stewart and not Shemar). Because I don’t think we can trust him to hold up as an edge-setter, which is fine.
The problem is that like Stewart, he never put any of the LB-y stuff we ask from our SAMs on tape. He’s total projection… and that’s expensive for a total projection. I do think that if we go SAM early, he’d be the one we took. He has everything we like from a work ethic/grit perspective (unless Jihaad Campbell fell).
Personally I see us waiting until later in the draft to go SAM, mostly because we just re-signed Barnes. We need a backup though so we’re not forced to play a square peg in a round hole if Barnes gets hurt like we did last year with Nowaske (who to me is MLB all the way). Which is why we’ve also met with a lot of day 3 SAM types like Oliver - who I doubt goes before the 4th (like Barnes) - Chambliss, McLeod, Diggs, Cretsinger, etc… Maybe we see Hyppolite and King that way too, though I don’t know that they have the pass-rushing chops. They’re the opposite of Ezeiruaku - they’ve shown the LB chops but not the edge chops.
The one exception to me early in the draft would be Jihaad, because he can also play WILL and MIKE, so he wouldn’t just be Barnes’s backup the way Ezeiruaku or J. Stewart would be.
Oh yeah, that’s why I watch them. I wish someone would also put together lowlights of every player to go with it, so you can see them at their worst as well. Though maybe that’s too dickish to these players, most are just kids trying to start their careers after all.
But favorite highlight reel? Well since they’re all good it’s a bit like asking for your favorite color lol. Mine is always gonna be an LB cause it’s just my favorite position to watch.
