0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that touchdown on that play. They get it. What is up,

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Dolph fans and welcome to the Drive Time Podcast, part

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. How's it going, everybody, It's a Friday. I

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, Senior

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Bowl practices and the measurements are all in the books.

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Will recap those, plus Xavian Howard goes to Vegas for

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the Pro Bowl and we'll discuss willful blast and the

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>ramifications of entering old man trying to do athletic things. Territory.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm officially there from somewhere in South Florida.

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>All of that and a heck of a bunch more

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>on this edition of the Drivetime Podcast Miami Dolphins. So

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's best to kick off this podcast asked

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>by reminding you what you can expect from Drive Time

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>with Travis Winfield. This is a podcast that focuses on football,

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's always been about football, opinions on how to

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>make the football team better. Things that are are excelling

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>with the current football team, all ball, all the time,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.559
<v Speaker 1>with the occasional streaming service series recommendation, and that's where

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep it. It's an exciting time of year, the

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>roster construction time of year, in my opinion, arguably the

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.639
<v Speaker 1>most exciting time of year. So that's where the focus

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>will remain. Sound good, And before we go ahead, I

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>want to go back here real quick, just touch on

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the weekend that was previously didn't discuss this on the

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Monday podcast, but conference championship weekend in the books, and

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to put a note in here how cool

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>it is to have kind of some fresh blood in

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl game this year. I mean, I saw

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a stat or a figure from I think my brother

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>sent me this, so it's something like it's been nineteen

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>years since we had a Super Bowl that did not

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>feature Brady Manning off Us Burger or the San Francisco forty.

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that like a wild stat I thought that was

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. So it's gonna be Bengals and Rams. Also

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>to me a great indicator of how team building processes

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>can really happen in multiple ways. There's no one way

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to get to the Big Game and just one season ago,

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know the Bengals being a four win team two

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>years ago, a to win team, drafted up, build it up,

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>did sign some nice free agents. And then you have

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the Rams who have just seen star player and acquired

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>star player and put themselves in position to go to

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>their second Super Bowl inside of four seasons and for

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>them hopefully to win their first one under Sean McVeigh.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's the game we're looking forward to next Sunday.

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But before we do that, I want to look back

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>here a little bit in this previous week with the

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Whiffle Blast tournament as well as the Fish Tank podcast,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and we start on Tuesday, the episode of the Fish

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Tank with myself. It's called Travis Wingfield I Can Do.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>This is out now on Apple, podcast, Spotify, wherever you

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>get your podcast. From the Miami Dolphins dot com home page.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Seth and o J welcomed me into the Tank and

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>what a surreal moment that was to get to tell

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>my story on a show that I'm a huge fan

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of that I was a huge fan of before it

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>became part of the Miami Dolphins umbrella. So big thanks

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>for those guys for giving me the platform to do that.

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Go check it out now, give them a five star

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>rating and give them a nice review, let them know

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>what you think, and go back and listen to the

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>entire catalog of Fish Tank episodes. Those guys are great

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>storytellers and they helped me get my story out there

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>on the Fish Tank. And before the Fish Tank came out,

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I hung out with the guys from the Fish Tank

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Whiffle Blast Tournament, a whiffleball tournament that was

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>held on Saturday the Jason Taylor Foundation. A lot of

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>good stuff they do there in terms of raising money

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>for kids with pediatric cancer other pediatric emergencies, and a

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>bunch of teams came out. A great cause, a great

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>weekend for everyone involved. And you know, I throughout the

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>course of this week, I've been feeling some soreness in

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>my abdomen and my whole life. I've been terrified of

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>appendicitis because of just the horror stories I've heard, so

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I was worried it was that, but it was not.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just some soreness from the torque of swinging a

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>whiffle bat. You guys ever tried to hit a real

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>whiffle ball with a real whiffle bat and that skinny,

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>thin barrel of a whiffle bat. It's not as easy

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.119
<v Speaker 1>as it looks. So first of all, we all agreed

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to get there about an hour before the game starts.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>We could get some warmups in, maybe you could take

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a few hacks. And we we get there, and you know,

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>O J had told me ahead of time that they

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 1>were very good on on defense and needed some more

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>firepower on offense. And I'm like, perfect, I don't pitch.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I can play defense, but my bat is what I

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>bring to the table. And um, we get there, and

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I was aware that this our team had some good

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>pitching on it. I wasn't aware of just how good

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>they were, because when I step into the batter's box

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>for warmups, I thought, we're taking biting practice. They just

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>start throwing these curveballs and fastball and sinkers and risers

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and all these different pitches. And I'm like, I think

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I foul tipped like three or four of them, like

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>William Mays Hayes in Major League, having to do ten

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>push ups everytime at the ball in the air, and

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that was about as good as I could do. And

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my goodness is this is gonna

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>be an embarrassing day for me. And then I get

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>up to bat in the first game and it was

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>like I struck out chasing a ball in the left

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>handed batter's box. I had a called strike three looking

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that went up over my head and curved into the

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>strike zone behind home plate, because wootball, all you have

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to do is hit that square behind home plate. And

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my goodness, and all my teammates are

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>taken walks and I'm just like, all right, I'm the

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm that guy. I'm the one caused all the outs here.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>But then it picked up. We got those victories early

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>because our pitching was so rock solid. I don't think

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>we allowed to hit until the playoff round. And again,

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>hitting is very difficult. Most of these games are like

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>two zero three one, you know, very low scoring games.

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>But late in the regular season, at Game three, got

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>on the SNY with two home runs, including a monster

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>shot that went over a tree that was beyond the

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>left field uh home run line or fence, whatever you

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>want to call it. That there wasn't an actual fence,

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>just painted lines in the ground, so that kind of

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>got me going. Then we get into the playoffs for

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 1>the one seed. We get an easy victory in the

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>first round, go into the semi finals, and we tied

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with this team, and the tiebreaker was you get to

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.679
<v Speaker 1>have one person hit the ball from your own team pitching,

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>so you can lob it in and whoever hits at

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the furthest on the fly wins the game because I

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep things moving here. And our guy comes up.

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted the bat. We didn't choose me, but

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted it. I had a couple of home runs

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>on the day. I was the only one of the

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>multiple home runs at that point of the game or

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of the day, and I just kind of felt like

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I was in a groove, but we didn't go in

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>my direction. That's okay. I'm a good team player. Supported

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>our guy and he grounds one right into the turf

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in front of the home plate like three ft and

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>it rolls a long way, and OJ is like, yeah,

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>out here, out here, and he's like, no, no, no,

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it's where it lands. So we're like ship that went,

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that didn't even make it down to the

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>women's teas and engulf and uh. The next guy comes up,

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and this guy has been hitting the ball well on us,

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>even though we we got him out with some fly balls,

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but he was he was stroking it pretty well. And

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he comes up there and he tips it off of

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>home plate, like right into the ground. We win on

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the three foot tie breaking hit in the tiebreaker, and

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>then we come up in championship round and we're tied

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in the final inning and your boy comes up with

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>two outs and gets a big knock for the squad,

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and then the guy behind me hits a triple to

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>drive me in and that was enough to win the championships.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So Whiffle Blast champions It was fun. After the fact,

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>o J calls me up like three hours later, my

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>wife and I are at dinner with my daughter and

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>he's like, I'm still so pumped up, man. And he

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't even play an inning. He was just our full

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>time coach, and he was still fired up. Multiple hours

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>after the fact. We got this big cup, a big trophy,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and they sent it home with there's a father's son

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>combo on our team. They sent it home with them first.

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I get it next, but they were sending

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>pictures of it next to the fireplace. He was drinking

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a beer out of it a lot of fun. WillFull

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>blast the JT Foundations for a great cause helping out

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>children with cancer and other tragic diagnosis is of the

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>like so j T Foundation, Seth Levitt, O, J McDuffie,

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Toad, DJ Presch, all those guys. Phenomenal event, phenomenal time.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I had an absolute blast childhood coming back out even

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>though the weather was atrocious. It reminded me of baseball

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>tryouts back home in the Pacific Northwest where it's thirty

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>forty degrees out and there's wind blowing on you all

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>day long. Not great, but we made it through and

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>we got a championship to put on the wall. So

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.679
<v Speaker 1>that was the weekend. That was as we anticipate another

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>week end ahead here on this Friday edition of the

<v Speaker 1>Dolphins history to be a three time Pro Bowl starter,

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's the second cornerback joining Sam Madison tent On

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>ten to do so. He's also the fourth Dolphins cornerback

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to be selected to the Pro Bowl at least three times,

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>joining Madison ten On ten, Patrick sur Tan and Brent Grimes.

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And it also marks the seventh time in the past

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>nine years the Dolphins have had a member of the

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>secondary go to the Pro Bowl. Always members of the secondary,

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>going back to Rashad Jones through Brent Grimes all the

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>way back to the Madison and Curtin days in the

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>early two thousand's X but by now you know it's

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>had a fantastic career. Seventy two games played, seventy one starts,

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>two forty one tackles, two sacks, twenty seven picks, seventy passes, defense,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>four force fumbles, three fumble recoveries. He has two picks,

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>sixes and one fumble for a touchdown, and his twenties

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>seven picks since lead the National Football League, also one

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.280

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned the Senior Bowl a second ago. We're gonna

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>take our first ad break right here and come back

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and get into the week that was in mobile measurements

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>from the Senior Bowl coming up, and then we'll get

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to the notes from the three practices National and American

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>team on the field there at Hancock Whitney Stadium. Travis Wingfield,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Drivetime Podcast, keep it locked right here. So Senior Bowl

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>practices have come and gone once again here on this

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Friday edition of the Drivetime Podcast, February the fourth. Travis Wingfield,

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>your host, And before you get onto the practice field,

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody had to go through the poking and prodding as

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>far as the athletes are concerned. The media certainly did

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>do that. But the measurements for the players have been posted.

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>They're all over Twitter throughout the course of the week.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>You can go back to the Senior Bulls timeline and

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>find all those measurements. And I spoke to a few

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 1>people around the league. You know, some writers, some draft

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>knicks that like people that cover the league, I should say,

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and the common theme is what the hell are they

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>putting in the draft waters these days? I mean, I

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this on the preview series. The measurements and testing

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>numbers of some of these guys, really most of these guys,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is beyond absurd. We talked about Daniel Filele among a

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>crop of absurdity is the absurd ityst where I made

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>up right there, but file kicks it off here. And

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I told you guys he was pretty new to football

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in the preview series, only having his real season income

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in terms of college experience with the Minnesota Gophers and

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Power five football. But listen to this six O eight

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>one That means six eight with a one tenth of

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>an inch. I've never seen eight in that number before.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen six eight seven that's more than Trent

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Brown and McKay Beckton, the heaviest players in football hands eleven,

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen more than ten before ten ten and change.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Thirty five and three eight inch arms and his eighties

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>six and a quarter wingspan is the biggest one I've

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in terms of these combine or Senior Bowl measurements.

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Absolute freak, Daniel Filele. How about Mark's Hayes from Oklahoma

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Thirty four and a half inch arms at six four

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>six ft four and a half three and a half

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>inch wingspand that is exceptional, exceptional length for an interior

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman. You can control your reps so much easier

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>when you have the sand in your pants and that

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>length to help get the initial strike and slow the

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>momentum before it gets into your anchor. The wild dichotomy

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>with Hayes, though, with those vines for arms kind of

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>has leaves for hands. In terms of eight and three

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>quarter inch hands, that's a pretty crazy split there. Brandon

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Thorn of the Trench Warfare Newsletter, one of the best

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>offensive line mines out there, was very impressed by his game.

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>He said he's a brawler through contact who understands leverage,

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>with a good processor. Going to hear more about him

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>later on ed Ingram from l s U thirty three

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 1>and three eight inch arms. He's six ft three three

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>seventeen and watching him out there, I think he's got

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the frame to carry him even more. Ten inch hands too,

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean grip strength, all that stuff you want up

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches. Who else back on the inside? Zion

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Johnson thirty three and seven eight inch arms, ten seven

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>eight hands, eighty two and seven eight inch wingspan. That's

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>another absolute lengthy monster on the interior and the way

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>he plays on the offensive line, that's a great combination

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 1>to have. This game was full of guys with these

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>long armed, heavy sand in the pants type measurements when

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the interior or tackle positions on the

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, like Georgia's Jamari Sailor eight inch wing span,

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty four inch arms, six ft two twenty pounds. Talk

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>about pad level, getting underneath the guy and can tilling

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>him with your grip strength and your long arms, two gapping.

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>All that stuff comes from these guys builds and if

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go up against those guys on defense. Talking

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>about Sailor and Johnson, Marquis Hayes and Daniel Filele. You

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>need similar traits like Tygreek Smith from o s u

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State. He comes with ten and three eight inch hands,

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty three and five eight inch arms, and eighty one

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>inch wingspan. Anything over eighties is really impressive and off

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the edge at six ft three to five, it's kind

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of that mix outside linebacker, defensive and you're Andrew Van

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Ginkle types. How about a big end more of your

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Zack Steeler types. Another Zach from Florida, Zachary Carter six

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>ft three and a half to eighty seven. It's a big,

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>big end thirty three and three eight inch arms and

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty one inch wing span. These guys are built different man.

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>And what about Sailor's teammate Davante Wyatt, George's defensive tackle,

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy eight inch wingspan, thirty three inch arms at six

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>ft two and a half three hundred and seven pounds.

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Talk about squatty body playing with low pad level from

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that interior position to get under these big long offensive

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>lineman and control the rep with the power that he

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>has in the burst and to get off Davante Whites

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>from my favorite players in the entire draft, of course

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>here at Senior Bowl to Cincinnati linebacker Darian Beavers is

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>an absolute wrecking ball. Six ft four to fifty two,

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>wingspan thirty two and five eight inch arms. You want

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>your mic linebacker might be him. I think one is

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a great weight for Missouri running back Tyler Batty. He's

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>five ft seven and a half. He's come back and

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>shot out of a can with some of the most

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>explosive tape in this entire draft class. I also think

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>three or to ten six ft six ft and a

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>half for Rashad White from Arizona State. Like Batty, he's

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>got the juice, really carried that Sun double offense. When

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>he was out there was a huge drop off. Let's

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>go back to the line and tackle. I've seen some

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty big names in the draft community with a crush

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>on this guy. Trevor Penning from Northern Iowa, teammate of

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Brown, who went to the Senior Bowl last year,

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>then to the Buffalo bill and had a very nice

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 1>rookie season. But Penning, he's a bullyball type and the

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>measurements match. Six ft six and a half three dred

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty pounds, ten and a quarter inch hands, thirty four

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and three quarter inch arms, eighty three and five inch

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>wing span. That is so impressive. How about going back

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to another squatty body on defense and Travis Jones, who

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>really is a nose tackle but multi position defensive tackle.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Six ft four and a half, three hundred twenty six pounds,

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty four inch arms. That's a pair of vines for

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>playing inside for a guy that usually you see in

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six to seventy eight range. Talk about thirty

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>four inch arms and eighty two and three quarter inch

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>wingspan with ten and a quarter inch hands to boot

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>this guy that those measurements match what I saw on

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>tape from him. How about Federian mathis Bama always has

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.280
<v Speaker 1>a dude like this? Just Ray Kuan Davis two years ago?

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>How about six ft three and some change six point

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>six ft three point seven three pounds, thirty four and

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>five eight arms, ten three eight inch hands, and eighty

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>three and a half inch wingspan. They're just built differently.

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we we broke the wings wingspan laws

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 1>here with this guy, pery On Winfrey from Oklahoma on

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the defensive line. Eighty five and five eight inch wingspan,

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty five and a half inch arms at six ft

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>three and a half three oh three. These guys I

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just continue to be so impressed. And U C l

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>A has one of their own with O Tito Agbania,

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 1>who was a late addition to the game. Eighty four

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.439
<v Speaker 1>and three eight inch wingspan with thirty five and an

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 1>eighth inch arms at six ft three and a half

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>three and twenty six pounds. It's kinds of ridiculous. We

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>promised the length. It's here. How about North Dakota State's

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive Tacklett Matt wallet Zac eighty five and three quarter

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>inch wing span with thirty five and eight inch arms

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>at six ft six seven three and ten pounds. It's

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like Jake long build, and going up against him would

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be a guy like South Carolina edge Kingsley and Agberry

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty three and five eight inch arms or wink span

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.480
<v Speaker 1>rather thirty five inch arms off the edge thirty five

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that's odd. Bat Territory six ft three and a half

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and two sixty one on the back end. How about

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Illinois safety Kirby Joseph with an eight inch wingspan even

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 1>though safeties are built crazy, thirty three and a quarter

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 1>inch arms at six ft and a half two hundred pounds, solid,

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>solid numbers for him. How about a late game edition

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 1>here as well with Eric Johnson, the defensive lineman from

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Missouri State. Listen to this three hundred pounds at six

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>ft four eighty two and a half inch wingspan thirty

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>four inch arms. Welcome, Welcome to mobile, sir. Let's go

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>ahead and finish up with a couple of tight ends.

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Here Isaiah Likely from Coastal Carolina seventy eight inch wing

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>span thirty two and a quarter inch arms six ft

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 1>four to one U c l a is Greg Dolchich

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty one and a quarter inch wing span thirty three

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and seven eight inch arms six ft three and a

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 1>half to forty eight. And then Grant Kelcata from SMU

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>eight inch wing span thirty eight thirty three inch arms. Goodness,

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight would be crazy. This this game, these players,

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just different. Things have changed these days, man, Like

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the game of football is changing even more than it

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>ever has. And guys that are built like this, athletes

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.199
<v Speaker 1>like this, continues to get better baseball what we already know?

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>All right? Who's ready for some practice notes coming up

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 1>after our last break here? Drivetime Podcast Travis Wingfield Senior

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowl coverage. So it's a wrap down in Mobile for

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the Senior Bowl as far as the practices go. We

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 1>have the game coming your way on Saturday on NFL

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Network to thirty eastern kickoff. There to get a look

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 1>at the National and American squad and a bunch of

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>good prospects, a bunch of first round picks, a bunch

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of second round picks, and a bunch of picks and

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>rounds three through seven as well, a loaded crop as

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>it is every single year. And I want to go

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>ahead now and go position by position and kind of

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>break this thing down about some of the players that

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought really stood out during their workouts throughout the

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.239
<v Speaker 1>course of the week on the practice field, and if

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position, we start and really end for me

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>with Malik Willis, because this is the kind of guy

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>who tests. He tests your ability to learn lessons as

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 1>a scout, I think because one of the things, and

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, amateur scout, whatever you want to call yourself,

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>someone that does this for fun or all the way

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>up to a full time actual position. You always have

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>to be able to be willing to accept faults and

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>flaws and misses and be able to be self aware

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>enough to know where you messed up. And I think

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position with regards to intangibles versus tangibles is

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>where a lot of that can really occur. With Malik Willis.

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is a guy who here's a guy

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>who started his career with the Auburn Tigers, so you

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>know the talents there, Like, that's one of the top

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 1>colleges football programs in the entire country. That's where he began.

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:50.680
<v Speaker 1>He wound up at independent Liberty, where obviously a week

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>like this in Mobile for a player like him as

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>much bigger because of the competition. Now that said, the

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>talent level that he faced because of the independent schedule,

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Liberty played a bunch of big time teams, and he

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>had his moments in those games. But what I'm ultimately

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 1>getting at here, excuse me, is this an annual conundrum

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>about do you draft for production and try to minimize

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.479
<v Speaker 1>your mystery with the prospect or do you roll the

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>dice in anticipation of trying to hit YACHTSI if all

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>development goes according to plan, I'm not gonna sit here

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>and say Maleek Willis is going to either be a superstar,

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>home run pick or nothing at all. He very well

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>could fall in the middle there somewhere. But I think

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.400
<v Speaker 1>when you look at what he is at this moment

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>in time as a college prospect, you have the loose,

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>elastic type of arm that can slingshot any throw from

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 1>any platform to any level of the field. That right

0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>there is enough to get you out of bed in

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the morning and say, Okay, I want to work with

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy every single day, regardless of what the rest

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:52.479
<v Speaker 1>of his skill set looks like, because I know at

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, when he gets there, when

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>he hits his potential, when he reaches his peak, he

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>has that throw in his tool bag, and while he's

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>getting to that level developing, we can rely on that

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. He also has four three speed in the toolbag.

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Sounds pretty nice, doesn't it. And you see those throws

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>on tape a lot, and we saw it this week

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 1>in Mobile And what you don't see in practices so

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>much outside of the team portion of practice is going

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 1>through what you would go through in a game with

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>your checks and your defense and your concept and what

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the concept is designed to do in terms of attacking

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that particular coverage. And Willis does have a lot of

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>great tape of on time on rhythm throws, but there's

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>also some instances where it's not there. So are you

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>willing to work with that and develop the the ungodly

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 1>traits this guy has because we saw it all week long.

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 1>He dazzled throwing the football all over the place and

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.160
<v Speaker 1>falling away to his left and dropping that arm angle

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and flinging that thing out there. That's Malique Willis to me,

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.439
<v Speaker 1>is the most interesting, fascinating player in this entire class,

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 1>because a a lot of folks don't believe that there

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is a top ten pick in this draft that will

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 1>go to the quarterback and beyond that, maybe even on

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a first rounder, and then be the unique traits that

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.680
<v Speaker 1>he has. The four three speed that we that he's

0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 1>clocked in college or will clock in the combiner close

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to it, with the four four in that range, with

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that arm, those are traits that you don't scoff at,

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and I just think Malik Willis he has all those

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and I cannot wait to see where he goes on

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>draft Day. If I had to guess, I would say

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>top ten because those types of traits they're rare at

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the running back position. Rashad White from Arizona State. I

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>love watching his game in the Pack twelve and here

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Senior Bowl, and you'd be hard pressed to

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 1>find a more complete back this week in Mobile He's

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>an ideal six you mentioned, but he has the makeup

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>of an every down back at the next level, just

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>what Herman Edwards called upon him last year at Arizona

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 1>State to do. He's a physical between the tackles banger,

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but he also has the burst to leave second level

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 1>defenders in his dust. He also clocked a twenty one

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.239
<v Speaker 1>point one five mile per run this week. I think

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that was the fourth fastest time last I checked from

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Jim Naggy in terms of their GPS tracking. Everybody uses GPS,

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 1>get on board it. He clocks a twenty one point

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 1>one five mph run. He also showcased his compliment of

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>complete back skill set, a smooth runner, a fluid route runner,

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>caught forty three balls last year, and the temperament to

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.239
<v Speaker 1>handle pass protection duties. What a player he looks like.

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I also liked running back Tyler Beatty from Missouri. Thought

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>his speed translate. He looks fast out there. Also loved

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce from Florida, the past protection drills alone were

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>enough to say, alright, that guy is an NFL back.

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>He also had twenty seven reps and pass pro as

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.439
<v Speaker 1>a collegian last year and no pressures allowed at the

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>receiver position. I thought Jalen Tilbert from South Alabama was

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>among the best receivers out there all week long. In fact,

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the top three guys for for what I saw and

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you can't see it all we're receivers. Jalen Tilbert from

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>South Alabama, Khalil Shaker from Boise State, and Christian Watson

0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from North Dakota State. Gives you an idea of these

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 1>smaller school guys and and you know FCS guys coming

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>up and making big time place. Jalen Tilber, the release

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 1>package is what's gonna get my attention every single time.

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.679
<v Speaker 1>He has that joystick type quickness at the line to

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>get off press and then from there the stacking track

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 1>skills to make it payoff down the field. And he

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>did that all year long for South Alabama. Khalil Shakur,

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing. The art of receiver is more

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>about just than just hands and speed. Chief among that

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is your release package, and that's where Shakur shines He's difficult,

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>difficult to get a hand on and pass in a

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in in press coverage because of the synbiotic relationship between

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 1>his lower body and upper body. With his hands and

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:40.440
<v Speaker 1>his feet, he can move and and thwart contact all

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 1>in the same motion. It's like we talked about with

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback having their eyes and feet hardwired to make reads.

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Same thing, getting off the line for a receiver with

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:49.639
<v Speaker 1>your hands and your feet. He got on top of

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>dbs all week and maintained that separation down the field

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>to give his quarterback easier targets. And then we also

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Watson all the guys that were down in a

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>mobile talking about him. He made the most plays all

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 1>week long in red zone, one on one, in full field,

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>eleven on eleven, just tons of plays for the North

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Dakota State product. And he's a very physical, get off

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 1>me type of guy that creates separation through physicality, but

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>also enough suddenness at the tight end position. Isaiah likely

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.360
<v Speaker 1>did not change my opinion one bit about him. Love

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>his game. The same things that he shows on tape

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought appeared all week in mobile. If the ball

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.639
<v Speaker 1>is close with that massive catch radius, he's likely to

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>pull it. In no no pun intended, or maybe there

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>was a pun intended. Not only were his hands among

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the best of the crop this week, he just moves

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>at a different speed than his Senior Bowl counterparts. And

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, just to mention this real quick, I thought

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Ruckert also looked very smooth and everything he did.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>And Trey McBride was an absolute monster attached inline in

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 1>the blocking game. That's just what he does on the

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:50.719
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. What a group this is. Here's your overall

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>takeaway from the Senior Bowl and really, this entire draft

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>class offensive line and edge might take up half the

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 1>picks in the first round. Both of these position groups

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>are absolute lutely loaded. You might see six or seven

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.399
<v Speaker 1>tackles go in the first round. And that's before you

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 1>get to Tyler Linderbaum from Iowa. That's before you get

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to Zion Johnson from Boston College. And he is where

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we kick it off here. He took snaps at center

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 1>this week and one of the most impressive things we

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>saw all week was that he was out there every

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>day after practice getting extra reps because he had never

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 1>snapped a football before. Did all three days, even in

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that trenial downpour on Wednesday. Now that wasn't tarential. That's

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the wrong word for a South Florida uh resident. We

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 1>know what that actually looks like. It was just steady

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>rain all day. But he was out there in the

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 1>rain snapping the football. But with him, there's so many things, like,

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>first of all, the way guys are built. It is

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 1>very important. How big is the backside, how bigger the

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>quas and the and the legs and the ankles and

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the calfs. All that stuff is important. And this guy

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is so built in the lower half, and you can

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:55.640
<v Speaker 1>see that size and sheer power generate from the lower half.

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>That's where all sports start, the lower half, every single

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 1>sport you play. It's from the hip, you know, below

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the waist is where all of the power is generated

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>for the most part. And he does that where he

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.680
<v Speaker 1>drives guys off the football. But he also is so

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 1>light on his feet that he can shuffle over and

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 1>get in front of a player who's not stacked. Like so,

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.399
<v Speaker 1>a stacked defensive lineman is right over your nose. Not

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>being stacked is off your shoulder, and that can allow

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>them to rush half a man, which obviously is a

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 1>much easier proposition but he quickly closes that distance and

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>gets square to his blocks. He drives guys off the

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 1>football light feet. He can do a bunch of things.

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Played both sides of the offensive line, played inside and outside.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a huge fan of Zion Johnson's game. Also, Michigan

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>guard Andrew Stubort just never saw him on the ground.

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>He was solid, technically sound, didn't get out over his skis,

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 1>never looked overwhelmed in really any really area. I thought

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>he stayed square to his rushers regardless of the slant

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>or their hands or whatever they tried to use to

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 1>beat him. He would find a way to get them

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>off of his of his block. And you know Perry

0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>on Winfrey, we'll talk about him here in a second

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>from Oklahoma beat guys all week long, and Stupor came

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>in for the first rap after he had about twelve

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 1>wins in a row and held his own. That was impressive.

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Also liked Markus Hayes from Oklahoma talked about his measurements

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit earlier. Patients in the hands. That was

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a big theme this week was how patient guys are

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>with that punch and not panicking. I thought we saw

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>plenty of that from Marquis Hayes out to the tackle position,

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and you want to talk about hands, Trevor Penning. I

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's probably the story of Senior Bowl week right now.

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 1>And I saw some folks say that he got better

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>on the on day three in terms of the technique

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff, but where he really shined was

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the temperament and the way he plays. You go to

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of social media or Twitter videos from from

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:41.959
<v Speaker 1>people taking clips down there. Uh, he tried to get

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 1>into a fight with just about everybody, not like a

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>fight fight, but just that extra play to the whistle

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and make sure you're doing your job and just a

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>tone setting type of temperament that he brings to a team.

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 1>But also addition, addition to the measurements popping off the page,

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the a three inch wingspan, six ft six three ten

0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.200
<v Speaker 1>ten and a half inch hands. You see those hands

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I think really show up in the tape because again

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>he's so patient with the punch and it doesn't get

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>him out over the SKEI doesn't get him leaning back

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>on the heels, doesn't get him weaning sideway to side

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to side, and that grip strength once he gets a

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>hold of somebody, it's pretty much over because he's so

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>strong in that regard. And I think that that physical

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>prowess is probably where some of that temperament comes from,

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>because he knows he can dominate guys physically throughout the

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>course of the game. Just the temperament, the traits, He's

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be a first round draft pick. Mighty Vin

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>moved himself from the top twenty this this week with

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the performances he had out there at the Senior Bowl. Also,

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Bernard Raymond from Central Michigan, another one of these guys

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that's new to football, came over from overseas. You see

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that grip strength these guys in their hands, it's so impressive.

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Guys had a very tough time detaching from Raymond and

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>pass brushing drills. How about Perry and win Free from Oklahoma.

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 1>The lightning quick hands and once he got to a

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 1>half a man, he took that that small sliver of

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>space and he made it his own. He would shoot

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>those gaps and whether it was a quickness off the

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>snap or using his hands, the heavy, heavy hands to

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>rip those initial punches away and slide rapped by a guy.

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>We saw it all day long, swiping guys put him

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 1>on the ground making tackles for lost and eleven on

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>eleven versus the running game. What a complete looking player

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Periyan win for you is and he can play all

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>across the defensive line on the inside. Travis Jones from

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Connecticut plays with so much power and such good pad

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 1>level that he was driving guys back into the backfield

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 1>all day long. I just wrote down, looks like he's

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>going up against tackling sleds because he was getting that

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>push and driving that thing four or five yards every

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>single time. Also liked Haskell Garrett from Ohio State and

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>his pad level. He was in the backfield all week

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>long and one on one his bul rush and the

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 1>ability to strike that middle plate offensive lineman don't want

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you inside in that middle plate. He was getting to

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that spot and he was constantly winning the low man battle.

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Haskell Garrett off the edge. Jermaine Johnson from Florida State

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't practice on Thursday. My just called his shot because

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday and Wednesday were so good. He kept finding that

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 1>middle chess plate and getting hands in there and then

0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>dropping his power and the lower half explosion and all

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>of that exertion right through the rep and bul rushing

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 1>guys and putting them on their back. I saw him

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>put multiple pound even Big Old File at three eight,

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>putting those guys right on the on the back side.

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Abe Lucas from Washington State, he got everybody. He was

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>doing it all week long. Also had a slew of

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>counter moves with heavy impactful hands. What a player Jermaine

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Johnson is My j Sanders also had a big knockdown

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 1>on Big Old File because that that wiggle that he

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>has the side, you know, I'm gonna bluff inside, go

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>around the outside. He ran around the arc for some

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:33.959
<v Speaker 1>big pass rush wins. He puts urgency in your kick

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>slide to get to him quickly because he has the

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>juice and then from there he can convert to power.

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think that what makes him so intriguing as

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.719
<v Speaker 1>a prospect is that he can play that edge position

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and be a good run defender, so he can be

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a three down guy for you, a guy that can

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.280
<v Speaker 1>play you know, sevent of your reps when he gets

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.360
<v Speaker 1>fully on boarded off the edge. Also, boy A Maffe

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>from Minnesota, I just put down that he won a

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 1>bunch around the corner with explosion, got a long arm

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.320
<v Speaker 1>move that he does pretty well too. And then Logan

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Hall from Houston just wrecked guys all week long in

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the past rush game. That was just a fun matchup

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.959
<v Speaker 1>to watch upfront between all of these guys in the

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>trenches offense and defense and finishing up the edge position.

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Ebekey Day from Penn State a ferocious spin move.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>The length and speed combination to create angles and win

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with that long arm move. What an impressive player. He

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>looks like possible first rounder as well. At linebacker. This

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 1>class is just full of jaw dropping builds and body compositions,

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>and Beavers is no exception. He's long, he's rangey, and

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 1>he showcased both of those traits all week. I thought

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 1>in coverage were my favorite drills to watch, Make no mistake,

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the one on one coverage drills favorite the offense, but

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you would not know that from watching Beaver's play. He

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>used leverage and a quick change of direction skill set

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to stay in the hip pocket of opposing tight ends.

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Plus he had a good week in the past rush

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>game as a stand up two point rusher. Also thought

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Chad movement from Wyoming coverage instinctive. He's the kind of

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>guy that really pops in the games. Not to say

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 1>he didn't practice like that, but watch out for him

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow in the game. Cornerback cam Taylor Britt from Nebraska.

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>They had a screen beater drill where you had to

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>fight through an initial block and then get to the

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>ball carrier, and he attacked that thing the way I

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 1>attack a Darry Queen Blizzard. He just ran right through

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the blocker, right into the receiver and put him on

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the ground. His tape is the exact same thing. One

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of the most physically impressive, imposing players in this whole class,

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 1>cornerback Mario good Rich from Clemson, thought he played with

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 1>great leverage, knew how to put himself at the top

0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of the route in great position to break at the

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>same time as the receiver. That's a reactionary skill, right

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 1>because they know where they're going. You don't know where

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:36.879
<v Speaker 1>they're going, and you have to react just as fast

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 1>as them. He did a great job of that all

0:34:38.719 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>week long without getting grabby and getting flags. Cornerback Kobe

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Bryant from Cincinnati. Confidence and patience, man, those are imperative

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>trades at a position where physical prowess is necessary, but

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 1>he displayed all of the above in the one on

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>one drills, squatting on routes, pulling the trigger to get

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>his hands on football's all week long. His understanding of

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>leverage without getting grabby like good Rich at the top

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of the route was evident all three days. To safety

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Sjalen Petre from Baylor, speaking of hands on football's, do

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 1>it all safety has absolute springboards in his shoes. He

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is such a quick trigger and quick closing distance type

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of player driving on routes, making life difficult on pass catchers.

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wanted to go up against him because he was

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>getting hands on balls all the time, routinely in position

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 1>for potential splash plays. The versatility he demonstrated in college

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:27.760
<v Speaker 1>playing in the post, playing in the box a slot

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 1>cornerback was also on display here in mobile. And finally,

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Joseph Kirby from Illinois, he had a really nice pass

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:36.399
<v Speaker 1>breakup showing some range and deep coverage. I just think

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that pairs well with the physical mindset that he brings

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.439
<v Speaker 1>as a box safety for the Illinois fighting in line

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I and into the pros. Alright, those are my senior

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.480
