I can't wait. 51 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a lot of fun. 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: All right. 53 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: Let's start at the top of the wide receiver position. 54 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior has been slotted as the top receiver 55 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: for this class for like two years now. It's all 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna come to fruition here. Currently most people believe he's 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: going to go to pick number four Arizona. 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the prototype ex boundary prospect. He's going to be, 59 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: you know, presumably Arizona's wide receiver one from day one. 60 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: Elite route runner for his size, he has the high 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: octane release package, except exceptional footwork, throttle speed at will. 62 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 3: He's violent into and out of his route breaks, very 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: very good hands, difficult to handle downtown because of his 64 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: body control and leaping abilities. I have very very few 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: nitpicks on him. Speed is only very very good elite, 66 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: and when he has the ball in his hands, he 67 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: doesn't He's not like a tackle breaking colossus. But that's 68 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: really all I got. He is a study stud. 69 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, outside of quarterbacks, he'll be the first player to 70 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: go in the draft. 71 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy because you know, his dad comes in 72 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison senior obviously, and he was the undersized, you know, 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: skinny guy comes out of Syracuse whatever, and he had 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: to win by being the awesome route runner, you know, 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: throttling up and down the speeds, keeping the cornerbacks off, 76 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: the beat of his scent, everything like that. He taught 77 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: everything to his son, who got all the physical gifts 78 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 3: that he did not. How about that? 79 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'd like. 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: To I'd like to know what mom is like, you know, 81 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: did Marvin Harrison wide receiver senior, like, you know, did 82 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: he marry I don't know, like a star volleyball player 83 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: or something, you know, and and get all you know, 84 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: how do you go? How did Marvin Harrison junior get 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: the physical gifts that his dad didn't have? 86 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: That's crazy, But yeah, he's a giant. He's you know, 87 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: stretched out and to catch radius is ridiculous, and a 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: guy that can win all three levels of the field. 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: It becomes a spacing thing as well. You know, it's 90 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: it's not just him singularly, it's it's it becomes a 91 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: spatial thing for the rest of the field where he 92 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 3: helps the receiver on the other side of the field 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: because you have to keep a high safety on that 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: side of the field. So you know, he's helping all 95 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: of his teammates just because of the spacing, you know, 96 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: different stuff like that on the field. 97 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: Non super flex leagues. Marvin Harrison Junior's first player going 98 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: in Dynasty drafts. 99 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because the the running back class, you know, 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: like we talked about last week, it's not as good, 101 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: it's not as good. Yeah. So I mean Marvin hare 102 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: and stands above you know, everybody else as far as 103 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: that goes. 104 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, some people you might be tempted 105 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: to go another direction. I don't think I would. I 106 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: don't think Black Bauers is going to be in play 107 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: it at the first overall unless you're in some kind 108 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: of you know, tight end specialized league. And I don't 109 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: think the other receivers are gonna talk about are gonna 110 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: hit that either. So let's take that opportunity to try 111 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: to move over to Rome. Adunza from Washington highly highly 112 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: productive there. 113 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Roma Dunza would be wide receiver one in a 114 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: normal year. Yeah, you look at the past decade, most 115 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: of those classes he would have been wide receiver one. 116 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 3: It's just you know, he happens to come out in 117 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 3: this class, has every single tool that you'd want, and 118 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 3: that is now confirmed with having gone through the NFL 119 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: combat Roma Dunza. So he comes in measures in six 120 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: foot three, two hundred twelve pounds. His raz was nine 121 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: point nine to one. He runs a four four five. 122 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: It wasn't even the thing that impressed me the most. 123 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: The thing that impressed me the most. People watching the telecast, 124 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: Roma Dunsay got a six ' eight eight in the 125 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: three cone the telecast at night, he wouldn't leave the 126 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: field because he kept running the three cone. He wanted 127 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: to run a sub six six three cone because the 128 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: kid who ran the fastest was like six six five. Oh, 129 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: Donsay wanted a sub sixty six. So he was on 130 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: his fourth fifth attemph with the three cone. 131 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 4: Can you try it as many times as you want? 132 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 3: Apparently, okay, I don't know how he could do that. 133 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if they would have countered it if 134 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: he did. He kept running it over and over and 135 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: over again. He kept knocking over the cone on the 136 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 3: far side. That's why he kept, you know, he wasn't 137 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: getting it whatever, and he kept getting kicked off because 138 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: he just kept you know, kicking that one over whatever. 139 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 3: But the kid's an absolute dog. I mean, he'd already 140 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: gotten a ninety ninth plus percentile RAZ and he wouldn't 141 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: leave the field because he didn't have the best three 142 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: cone of his entire position group. I compare him to 143 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: Julio Jones. You know, you talk about every golf club 144 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 3: in the bag, size, strength, physicality, speed, agility, hops, ball scales. 145 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: He's a complete receiver. He was pressed more than any 146 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: receiver by the stats in this class last year at Washington. 147 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: And the reason that was done is because we talked 148 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: about this a few weeks ago in the Quarterback episode. 149 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: The way that you take Michael Pennix off his game 150 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: is by pressuring him and trying to get him off 151 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: his spot, disrupting the timing. How do you do that, Well, 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: you try to take the best player on the Washington 153 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: offense away and you try to press him off the line. 154 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: He impressed and oh, dude, say off the line, though 155 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: you had to try, but you weren't gonna be able 156 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: to do it. He got pressed more or at least 157 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: attempted to press more more than two hundred snaps last year, 158 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: but nobody could get him off the line. His feet 159 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: are two good, he has his dynamic release package, but 160 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: he's also too strong, too quick, and then you know 161 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: he gets into the route really quick, and then he 162 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 3: adjusts his tempo along the route, so it's just really 163 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 3: difficult to get a beat of his scent. You don't 164 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: know when he's going to break that route off or 165 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: when he's gonna go downtown whatever. He would have been 166 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: a high first round pick last year if he had 167 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: entered that class. We know that, and he would have 168 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: been a wider one and a lot of those classes 169 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 3: over the last decade. But yeah, he's either going to 170 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: be two or three in this one just because of 171 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior. 172 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: In our show in late February, you comped Malik Neighbors 173 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: the LSU wide receiver to Jamar Chase. That's a very 174 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: favorable and tantalizing comp. Y. What do you like about it? 175 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: What do you like about his game? And you could 176 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: say the same about Neighbors right like where you know, 177 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: you look at. 178 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Different a different year, he'd have been number one. 179 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Yeah, I mean we have three wide 180 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: receiver ones in this class. And you know it's not hyperbole, 181 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: it just is what it is. Neighbors is very, very 182 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: similar as a prospect to Jamar Chase. You know, and 183 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: again I think I mentioned that in that episode. I 184 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: didn't even want to make that comp because of the 185 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: jersey thing. It felt too easy. But it's the you know, 186 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: it's just the closest one that that I could think 187 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: of with Neighbors that The thing that really jumps out 188 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 3: about him is the ludicrous stop start ability and the 189 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: fact that he loses zero momentum when he's changing direction. 190 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: It's just he can change. Everyone loses momentum when they 191 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: change direction, but not Moleague Neighbors. It's ridiculous. When he's 192 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: running routes, it's at this breakneck speed where they can't 193 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: keep up with him because he doesn't lose any momentum 194 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: when he's cutting in different and changing directions. Stuff like that. 195 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: You can be as fast as Molique Neighbors. Potentially you 196 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: might even have world class feet like him, so you 197 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: might be feeling good about staying in his hip on 198 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: a given rep, but then he can just slam on 199 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: the brakes and come back and then all of a sudden, 200 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 3: you're skidding and he's over. But now he's got four 201 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: yards of separation, now he's got the ball in space, 202 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 3: and now you're in trouble. So like that, it's what 203 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: makes him so difficult. And you know, we talked about this, 204 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: you know, earlier on in the previous episode, where the 205 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: other part about him that's very unique is his upper 206 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: body doesn't move very much when he's moving at full speed, 207 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: and it's just this strange quirk about him. But he 208 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: doesn't chug his arms very much when he's running on 209 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: the routes, so it makes it difficult to denote when 210 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: he's going to break those routes off. And it's also 211 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 3: difficult to gauge exactly how fast he's moving. So he 212 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: just becomes like a really hard math problem for the 213 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: defensive backs. 214 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be a matchup problem. All these guys, well, 215 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: Harrison Dune's of neighbors, They all guys that can be 216 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: impactful like week one of the NFL, you know, like 217 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: week one of their rookie year, they can make an impact. 218 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: That fact, all three guys of those guys stars in 219 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 3: the NFL, I will be stunned. Wow. 220 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: Okay, so you know landing spot will determine plenty, but 221 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: all guys that have clear paths. 222 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: To immediate returns. 223 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Yes for your dynasty or empire fantasy absolutely, which we love. 224 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: Now there it feels like there's a bit of a 225 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: break after Neighbors. Yes, and so you know, Harrison to 226 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: Dunes and Neighbors all seem to be guys that are 227 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: that are going in like the top eleven ish twelvesh 228 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: picks of the draft being mocked there and then there 229 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: feels like there's a bit of a drop and then 230 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: we get into some other names. Brian Thomas goes here, 231 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: but you've got Lad McConkie as your next guy, and 232 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I know you love his separation ability. 233 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: I do. Yeah, So you know most people have Brian 234 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 3: Thomas at number four, but I had to put Ladd 235 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: up here. And you mentioned the separation last year. Lad 236 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: McConkie receiving grade versus single coverage ninety eight percentile separation percentile, 237 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: ninety third percentile separation percentile versus single coverage ninety first percentile. 238 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: And you know a lot of people talk about him 239 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: as a pure slot receiver. He played most of his 240 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,239 Speaker 3: percentage percentage of his snaps in college actually on the outside. 241 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: Georgia played a predominantly twelve personnel offense, so you know 242 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: a lot of the times he was playing on the outside. 243 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: Last year it was seventy eight point seven percent on 244 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: the outside. He of course can play in the slot, 245 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 3: but he can do both of those things. He goes 246 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: and I think this he proved the concept at the 247 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: combine eight four five ras and a four to three 248 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: four three nine with a thirty six inch vertical and 249 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: a ten to four broad. And by the way, he 250 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: didn't do the agility drills, which I believe will be 251 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: his best test. Most of the guys didn't do the 252 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 3: agility drills Roma Dunsday notwithstanding, because the NFL does it 253 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: in a dumb way where they put the agility drills 254 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 3: at the very end of the day, after everyone has 255 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: already gassed from doing all the other drills. So most 256 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 3: people defer that until they're pro day. Lad McConkie is 257 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 3: going to destroy those when he does them. But whole 258 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: point being Ladi McConkie is ridiculously hard to stay with. 259 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: At the Senior Bowl when we were down there on Tuesday, 260 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: he dusted everyone. It was very similar to Tank Dell 261 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: on the very first day the year before the second 262 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: day on Wednesday, people were playing way off him, eight 263 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: yards off a Ladd McConkie, just seeding free receptions in 264 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: the one on one drills because they didn't want to 265 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: get embarrassed in front of the entire NFL. Lad McConkie's 266 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 3: going to come in immediately in the NFL and start. 267 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a number one receiver in 268 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: the NFL, he is going to be a dang good 269 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: number two if not. 270 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And do you think does he translate? There is 271 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: a reception out there that he's gonna be primarily a 272 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: slot guy, but you think he can translate to all 273 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: of it. 274 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 4: I remember by the way people. 275 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: Were talking about Justin Jefferson getting stuck in the slot. 276 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: At one point. That sounds doesn't it exactly? Come on, 277 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: it's the same thing, you know, Like it was a 278 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 3: situational thing at LSU right where they had Jamar Chase 279 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: on the one side and they had Terrace Marshall on 280 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: the other side that Joe Burrow offense. That's why Justin 281 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 3: Jefferson was in the slots. All of a sudden, It's like, Oh, 282 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 3: he can't play on the outside in the NFL, and 283 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 3: now he's the NFL's best outside receiver. Yeah about that right? Yeah. 284 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: I remember asking Rick Spielman the day after he drafted 285 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: or the night that he drafted Justin Jefferson about that, 286 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: and he was like, No, he's gonna be fine. He's 287 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: gonna be able to play all over all. Right, So 288 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: let's go to Brian Thomas. Yeah, and I think this 289 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: might be more that you like McConkie than you dislike 290 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. I love the physical play, the contested balls, 291 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: the big body of Brian Thomas from LSU. 292 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, coming into the NFL, we know a 293 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: couple of things about Brian Thomas. Did he is going 294 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: to do very very well six foot three, two hundred 295 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 3: and ten pounds, and the freak athleticism that you're talking about. 296 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: He ran a four to three three with a nine 297 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: eighty six overall ras composite. 298 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: How does a guy with that big of a body 299 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 4: run that fast. 300 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. He was flying and you see this 301 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: on the field too. I mean, and it's this is 302 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 3: one of my nippicks about him, I will say, but 303 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: you know, it can go either way. He ran predominantly 304 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: two routes at LSU, you know, the fades and the goes. 305 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: But it is so hard to stop him on those, 306 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you know him and Jayden Daniels 307 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: on those, you had neighbors doing you know, all the 308 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: different the stops, the starts to run and zipping around whatever. Yeah, 309 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: and then you'd have Thomas taking the top off the 310 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: defense and you can see why LSU was the greatest 311 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: show on turf last year. They also had the most 312 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: ransom defense you'll ever say. They were like the last Yeah, 313 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: every game was like fifty five to fifty two. But yeah, 314 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: Brian Thomas at the bear bear minimum, he's going to 315 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: be the the you know, sort of prototypical wide receiver 316 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: two pop the top whatever. My my nitpick about Brian 317 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: Thomas is, I don't know the other stuff right, like 318 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: the you know, the inbreaking stuff, the nuanced stuff, like 319 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: is he ever gonna elevate to become like a wide 320 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: receiver one in the NFL? That I don't know, but 321 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: I do know he's going to threaten deep and he's 322 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: going to be the friend of the other receivers on 323 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: your team because you have to keep He's one of 324 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: those guys. You have to keep the deep safety on 325 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: the other side or he's gonna take your lunch money deep. 326 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 3: You can't keep a guy on an island or he's 327 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: gonna embarrass him. 328 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Let's take a break when we come back, Xave, you're worthy. 329 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: The guy's getting he's getting attached to the Chiefs a lot. Yes, 330 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: this could be a lot of fun. Let's let's break 331 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: him down when we come back Fantasy Football Weekly. As 332 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: mentioned Thorne Eistrom, Xavier Worthy is could bring speed to 333 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: a Chiefs team that hasn't had it since Tyreek Hill left. Yes, well, okay, 334 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: that's a Mark haz Valdez Scantley's guy like straight line speed. 335 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: But that's it and then all and all, you know, 336 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: all the negative plays and everything comes with him. 337 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 3: But you could argue, well not even argue. We just 338 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 3: quantifiably no one in NFL history has the speed of 339 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy. Just ran him four to two to one. 340 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: Forty broke the record at the NFL Combine broke the 341 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: record of John Ross. There it was. It was hilarious, 342 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: you know. He he ran the first one and was 343 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: just over it it. Zavery Worthy was and then asked 344 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 3: to run the sec. Everyone assumed that he wasn't gonna 345 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: run it, but zavery Worthy's like, no, no, no, I want 346 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: to run the second one because he knew he was 347 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: going to break that record, and then he went out 348 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: and did it. It was a very very cool moment. Uh, 349 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: you know, one four nine ten yards split very good 350 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: as well. And then a forty one in vertical which 351 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: is obviously fabulous as well. Nine to three four ras 352 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 3: which at the adjusted size thing is incredible at one 353 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five pounds. That's the nitpick about him. 354 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: But he is a little bit on the you know, taller, 355 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: certainly taller than Tank Dell. He's he's just under six 356 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: feet tall. Xavier the he's an interesting player. Texas pounded 357 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: Zavier Worthy with targets two years ago twenty twenty two. 358 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 3: He had some drop issues mitigated a little bit in 359 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 3: terms of the percentage. Last year twenty twenty two, he 360 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: had a hand injury, So you can forgive him for 361 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: a little bit and last year he had a ton 362 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 3: of targets, so if you look at the drop percentage 363 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 3: was actually within a reasonable sort of area there. But 364 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: that's the one sort of nitpick about him is the drops. 365 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 3: He He has a couple on tape that like, for instance, 366 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: he had won against Alabama early in that game last 367 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: season where he absolutely licks this guy near the goal 368 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 3: line on this whip rout. He goes inside. He gets 369 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 3: this guy in a blender and he's wide open going 370 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: towards the boundary. Youwers puts it right, you know, right 371 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 3: where he should, you know, towards the boundary. The pylon 372 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: puts it right on his hands, and it clanks off 373 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: of Worthy's hands. He's right by himself. But Worthy gets 374 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: separation as easy as any receiver. You'll see. It's the 375 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: thing that reminds you. 376 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: Of Okay, wait, hold on on separation for for Xavier Worthy, 377 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: is it just running by guys or does he have 378 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: some nuance to his game and his route running to 379 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: create separation That isn't just I'm just gonna run past you. 380 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: This is a very good contextual point. It's it's the ladder. 381 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: I mean, it's both, but it's you know, including the ladder. 382 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 3: He is a very good route runner. He has both 383 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 3: the agility and the speed, but he also has a 384 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: very good understanding of the route running and he can 385 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 3: get that separation at all levels of the field. Like 386 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: it's not like a two to two at well thing 387 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 3: where it's just like you know, using the speed and 388 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: then everything has to come off of it, right. He 389 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 3: knows how to run the route and he knows how 390 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: to set up defenders using that athleticism. He knows he 391 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: has one hundred mile prower fastball, and he knows defenders 392 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: are sitting back, you know, they have to sit back 393 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 3: on their heels. You're gonna blow it by him. So 394 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: he'll play off of that, and he'll also alter his 395 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: tempo as well. So he has a really good feel 396 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 3: for that and he naturally gets the separation because of that. 397 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: That's why he got pounded with his many targets by 398 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: quinn Ewers as he did. You look at it, Donnay Mitchell, 399 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: another receiver in this class. You know, he's another physical freak, 400 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: six foot four, two hundred pounds whatever. He ran a 401 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: four to three. People wonder why did Donna Mitchell, being 402 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: a physical freak, why did he get his few targets 403 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: as he did. What's because Xavier Worthy's open on everything. 404 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: That's why. 405 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 3: So I think Xavier Worthy, with that performance, you know, 406 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: and with what he put out on tape everything like that, 407 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: he has absolutely put himself in contention to go late 408 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: in the first round. And I think the chiefs are 409 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 3: you know, that's it's like the siren there. It's like 410 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: you have the free space at the front of the 411 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 3: first round with the bears of Caleb Williams that I 412 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 3: think I'm gonna be putting Xavier Worthy there at the 413 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: number thirty two spot. 414 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: So here's my worry. All of these Olympic level speed 415 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: guys who come to the NFL. 416 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 4: They never work out. 417 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean like never, you know, when you're this fast, 418 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: it almost seems like it's worked against a lot of 419 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: these guys going all the way back down like Willie 420 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: Galdon stuff. Right, So it fe like a lot of 421 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: most of the players that this kind of speed have 422 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: our one trick ponies. You know, I run straight and 423 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: I run fast, and they haven't developed enough of the 424 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: rest of their game to be anything more than almost 425 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: trick play guys. You know, they're two catches a game 426 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: and you hope to God that you're starting in your 427 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: fantasy league and in one that one game every two 428 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: months that he catches that deep pass on. Yeah, so 429 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: you're telling me that Xavier Worthy's got a much more rounded, 430 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: complete game than most of the John Rosses in this world. 431 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, because a lot of those guys were straight line guys, right, 432 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: like the Darius Hayward Bays or the locally speaking Vikings 433 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 3: fans ear muffs Troy Williamson. Yeah, like you were talking 434 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: about guys like that where it was pure pop the top, 435 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: you know, run deep guys. Worthy, it's the all three 436 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: level thing, right, Like you know that the play, you 437 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 3: know the Alabama play, you know, I'm talking about play 438 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 3: where he dropped, but they were using him at the 439 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: goal line, Like he's a small receiver you can use 440 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 3: at the goal line because if there's only one guy 441 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: on that side of the field, he will shake him like, 442 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 3: he will fake inside and the guy will bite and 443 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: then he can go towards the boundary. He's going to 444 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: be by himself. The agility is the thing in conjunction 445 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: with the speed with Worthy, and also he's not he 446 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: is pine size in terms of the weight and the 447 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: bill with that, but he's stretched out with it where 448 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 3: he's six feet tall even though he's one hundred and 449 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: sixty five pounds, So you have a little bit more 450 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 3: of the catch right five. Yeah, I mean, he very 451 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: very skinny, but you know. 452 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: The build is it's not quite as. 453 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: Like you know, it's more like DeVonta Smith, you know, 454 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: than some of those other guys. And again it's not 455 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: just the pure downfield type thing. He can win at 456 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: all three levels. 457 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: Do you have a comp for Xavier Worthy because he 458 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a guy who's got a lot. 459 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 3: Of comps in the NFL. The best one I got 460 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 3: right now is Tank Dell because it's the guy that 461 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 3: can win at all three levels. But he is faster 462 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: than Tank Dell and he's taller. I don't have a 463 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 3: perfect one yet, but that's that's a close one I got. 464 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: I struggle to find one based on on the player 465 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: we're describing. Yeah, all right, let's transition over to bo 466 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: Nix's receiver, Troy Franklin. 467 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey Franklin goes to the combine. In the sports books, 468 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 3: they had him with a low four to three forty 469 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 3: with the props and he disappointed a little bit in 470 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: running the four to four to one only. I mean 471 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: it's it's a fast time. 472 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: But totally NFL serviceable. 473 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, but Franklin was one seventy six, so he's a 474 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: little bit on the lighter side, although he did he 475 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: did come in at six foot two. Explosion is is 476 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: the part of his game, you know, explosive plays. But 477 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 3: with the four to four one, he also had a 478 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: ten year it split of one six one, which is 479 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: a little bit elevated as well. He had the six 480 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 3: nine three cone. The overall raz was eight one eight. 481 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, he gives you the explosive plays in that 482 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: Oregon offense can win at all three levels. He did 483 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: there makes people miss. But yeah, the body build is 484 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 3: the thing that concerns you a little bit in conjunction 485 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: with with the testing profile. I like his game though 486 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: he's a little bit of a contortionist, you know, in 487 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 3: terms of that like around the sidelines. I really like 488 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: the body control. I like the ball skills in terms 489 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 3: of like you know, with the with his body type 490 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: that you know, the contortionists, the ball skills, everything like that. 491 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: I like his game, but that I would have liked 492 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: to see him test just a little bit better than 493 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: he ended up doing. Uh, that's why I have him 494 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 3: right now at wide receiver seven. 495 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: Okay, are we talking about a player who can get 496 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: separation from others? So is he got that kind of footwork? 497 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I had him come to Jamison Williams before 498 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: the combine. But the speed isn't quite that good, so 499 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to bring that 500 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: back just a little bit. But yeah, that's that was 501 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: sort of where I was at before. But yeah, no, 502 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: I mean, he can separate, but this is you have 503 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: to separate him from Oregon's offense right where it was 504 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 3: like you had a lot of those quick hitting concepts 505 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: and then you know, people the defense would start coming 506 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: up because we're not gonna let you do the screen 507 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: pass right away again, and then he would get the 508 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 3: free one on one shot, you know, deeper down the field. 509 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, you have to there's some projection that is, 510 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: you know, you have to do with this in the 511 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 3: same way you have to do with Bonex, you know, 512 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 3: and and and the other way with it. But I 513 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 3: do I think Troy Franklin's the guy where it projects 514 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 3: more favorably, for instance, than Bonex going to the next level. 515 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Florida State's Keon Coleman. I 516 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: I've got nothing I can't tell. I couldn't pick him 517 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: out of a out of a I don't know, a 518 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: lineup with minow Ball and Muggsy Bogs. 519 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: Keon Coleman had a very interesting combine where he runs 520 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: a four to six one forty. But he ran the 521 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 3: fastest gauntlet time last year. The guy who ran you 522 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: know the the you know where they're running through and 523 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: then they're throwing him the passes on both sides and 524 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: they have to the guy who you know who ran 525 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 3: the fastest gauntlet last year, and the receivers no, a 526 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: guy named Pukina Kua no kiddy. Yeah wow Again. It 527 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 3: was also near the bottom in the forty time. Further so, right, 528 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 3: and Keon Coleman. It must be said, the other tests 529 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 3: that he did was very very good. He had the 530 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 3: thirty eight vert. He his broad was over ten feet 531 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: nine to one eight raz overall, he obviously brings the 532 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: big size over six three, two hundred and fifteen pounds. 533 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: He started at Michigan State, not only on the football team, 534 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 3: he played basketball for tom Izzo. Wow, it was a 535 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 3: very good basketball recruit. That's part where the vertical comes in. 536 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: And you see this in his game downfield, you are 537 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: not getting higher than Keyon Coleman if you know, you 538 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: talk about a rebounder down the field, very good with 539 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 3: the body positioning. But also you know, again you're not 540 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 3: getting higher than him. He's a high point pointer all 541 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: day long. I compare him to t Higgins. It's a 542 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 3: lot of the same kind of thing. Another cool thing 543 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: where you see the manifestation of his hops. You'll see, 544 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: you know, where he gets the ball near the sidelines, 545 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 3: especially shorter, down in the field, whatever where he'll hop. 546 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: Guys they try to go low, take out his knees, 547 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 3: he will hurdle them and then they keep trucking down 548 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 3: the field. So he has stuff like that. 549 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: You know, the one part of his profile you know 550 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: that you wonder about. 551 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 3: He's sort of a raw route runner right now, in 552 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 3: part because the agility is not quite as good. That's 553 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 3: the one part of his athletic profile that's not as good. 554 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: But I love the ball skills. I love his hands. 555 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: Last year down the stretch, that's where people started to 556 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 3: nitpick his game a little bit. He got hurt in 557 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: the middle of November. Then Jordan Travis gets hurt in 558 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 3: the last couple of games of Florida State. They were 559 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: playing guys that should not have been on an FBS field. 560 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 3: They were forcing balls at key On Coleman. That here's 561 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: a crazy staff where he charged key On Coleman. Last year, 562 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: he was targeted eighty seven times by the PFF charting. 563 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: Only fifty five of those eighty seven targets were considered catchable. 564 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 4: Geez, how many catches he have? 565 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: You know, fifty I got fifty of the fifty five 566 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: catchable passes. 567 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: So I mean there are people out there that really 568 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: nitpick his game last year and he it was disappointing 569 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 3: for you know, he came from Michigan State. A lot 570 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 3: of people over the offseason. This is going to be 571 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: his break all year. He's a first round guy, et cetera, 572 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: et cetera. He had a down year on a playoff 573 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: contending team. But that is the context. He got hurt 574 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: early November. He missed the game. Right when he comes back, 575 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 3: Jordan Travis gets hurt. The last month of his season 576 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 3: was basically a wash for this reason the targets he 577 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 3: was getting after he came back where they were not 578 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 3: targets at all. He was getting thrown to by a 579 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 3: kid who was just out of the high school prom 580 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 3: shouldn't have been on the field. Eleven of his fifty 581 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 3: catches last year were touchdowns. Most of the other ones 582 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: were first downs. That kid can play absolutely. Like I said, 583 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: t Higgins is who I see in the NFL. Like 584 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 3: I like that conference Keon Coleman. One player. 585 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: While we're talking Florida football, Let's go to Florida. Ricky 586 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: one player left. Ricky Pearsall. Ricky Pearsall kid. I talked 587 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: to him mobile. I really like that kid. 588 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 3: Super duper nice kid has some of the best set 589 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: of hands that you will see in, you know, in 590 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 3: college football. The last couple of years, he was a 591 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 3: staple of the Sports Center Top ten. He had one 592 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: catch against Charlotte where he went up, caught the ball 593 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 3: with one hand, then he got crushed. You know, there's 594 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 3: like two guys descending on him. He catches his ball 595 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 3: with one hand. But he was like week after week 596 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 3: he was making these like ludicrous, highlight reel type catches. 597 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 3: But it's not just the highlight reel catches. He's one 598 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 3: of the better route runners in this class. Has a 599 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 3: very good understanding of that, shifting up and down the tempo, 600 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 3: the footwork in and out of the route breaks, everything 601 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 3: like that. He puts himself in the head of the 602 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: defender who is across from him, and then he just 603 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 3: puts the guy in a blender. He like, the guy 604 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: never knows what he's about to do. It's like a 605 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: chess match with him, you know. We had fun talking 606 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 3: about that, different stuff. He's one of those guys who's 607 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 3: constantly like doing little deeks with his upper body, you know, 608 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 3: and then the other guy he has to sort of 609 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 3: respond to it and then he's going the other way. 610 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 3: Different stuff like that. Talking about his hands eighty six 611 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: point eight PFF hands grade last season. Regularly spears balls 612 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: outside of his frame one handed catches with regularity. Uh. 613 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 3: He's extremely reliable with anything that you put within his frame. 614 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: Cleverness on the routes, understands coverage designs, modifies his path 615 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: to get himself open uh against his own coverage. Keeps 616 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 3: working on extended plays to freelance himself open. Uh. He's 617 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 3: he doesn't have the most sudden feet. But because of 618 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 3: all those machinations that he does along the route path, 619 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: he just constantly finds himself open. Very good spatial awareness, 620 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: very good body control, very very smart kid. The thing 621 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 3: we were wondering about going to the combine, It's like, 622 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: is this kid just a kid with very good hands, 623 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: a hard working kid, you know, very good route runner, 624 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: but a yeah, just like an average athlete. He goes 625 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: through the combine nine seven eight rasts geez four uh 626 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 3: six six four to three code fabulous three cone. With 627 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 3: the speed as well, this kid's gonna be shooting up 628 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 3: the boards six as well. I think you can project him. 629 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: I mean whether you want to play him in the 630 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 3: slow which is where he told me and mobile teams 631 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 3: were talking to him about. But he played on the 632 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: outside in college, by the way, played at Arizona State, 633 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 3: which Jayden Daniels. Then he went to Florida started. He 634 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: was a wide receiver one for Anthony Richardson, then last 635 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 3: year for Graham Mertz. He has been the wide receiver 636 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 3: one for three different high level quarterbacks. Yeah, he can 637 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: go to the NFL and I think start either on 638 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 3: the outside or in the slot. Versatile kid. He is underrated, 639 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 3: and I think he's moving up draft boards. 640 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsall, he basically just carved a bust for him 641 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: in Canton. 642 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ricky Piersoll, Baby, where's he go? Where's his draft stock? Like? 643 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean, where where do you expect him to go? 644 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: I think probably right now he'd probably be considered maybe 645 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: round three, but wouldn't surprise me if he goes round two. 646 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, somebody's gonna like that all the all 647 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: the things you just described you had. I'm trying to 648 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm jotting notes while you're talking, getting smarter 649 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: on these guys. 650 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 4: You didn't say anything bad about it? 651 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, what I mean? What does Ricky Pierson need to 652 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: do better? Why is he a first round pack? He 653 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: had a forty two inch vert two? 654 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: All right? Yeah, we like Ricky Piersall, like Ricky Pierce 655 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: sneaky spot for your for maybe your third round of 656 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: your dying. 657 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: He doesn't accelerate quickly, that may be. That's that's one 658 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: we're gonna add that in. 659 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: Okay, can't accelerate extremely still, don't tell them I said that, Okay, 660 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: got it, got it? Great job man. Wow, it's uh 661 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: in thirty minutes. We've become a whole lot smarter, which 662 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: I love.
