So let's 34 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: start with your and my favorite guy, Trey Benson. Of 35 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: so many things that I loved about his game when 36 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: i've when I watched him play. I love the vision, 37 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: the change of direction, the tackle, breaking the home the 38 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: home run threat that he brings. Sneaky speed as well. 39 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: There's got so much I like about Trey Benson. But 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: that's that's just me breaking down one game. You've got 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: a much bigger sample size. Let's talk about Trey Benson 42 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: out of State. 43 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: Had an absolutely huge combine foot two sixteen had a 44 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: nine to seven seven raz four three ninety thirty three 45 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: five or over ten broads, just a great combine that 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: the speed size combination is premiere in this class. And 47 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: you look at you got when you go back to 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty two tape in conjunction with that size 49 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: speed combination, that's when you get super excited about Trey Benson. 50 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: His first couple of years, he was at Oregon and 51 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: he had a catastrophic knee injury and uh aclmclateral meniscus, 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: medio meniscus. 53 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, him his catastrophic as a true frash. 54 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: Didn't play much as a sophomore, but that bet he 55 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: goes to FSU and that junior season he was awesome. 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: He had over he was the first ever guy to 57 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: have a forced misstackle rate over fifty percent, as charted 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: by PFF in twenty twenty two, the first player ever. 59 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 3: So he has the really good power and he's at 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: that locomotive that the size, speed, combination, decent vision. Some 61 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: you could some people nitpick him a little bit for that, 62 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: but in the twenty twenty two tape, I thought he 63 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: was a lot better with that. There was some tentative 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: stuff in this past year with that. I would nitpick 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: more the usage that Norvell used him with Jordan Travis 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: was also taking some of chomping out some of the 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: the rushes with him last year. But Norvel likes to 68 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: use the two running backs at YadA YadA. But the 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: thing I'd say about Benson In addition to the utility, 70 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 3: the tackle breaking, the size, speed stuff as a runner, 71 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: he also has very good hands and he's a handful 72 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: when when he gets trucking up field in space, when 73 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: he converts from the receiver into a runner, you see 74 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: examples of him adjusting to the ball in the air 75 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: and making the play. So if you know, I didn't 76 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: see the reports of the of the medical teams, you know, 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: as far as signing off on him, but as far 78 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: as long as your team's medical team did sign off 79 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: on his knee and everything like that. 80 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: We ran up four, three, nine, and just watch the tape, Denise. 81 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Now three years later, Yeah, hasn't it been three years? 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, three years and later? 83 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, So you know he's fine as. 84 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: Long as the medicals are good. I mean, yeah, again, 85 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: it's the specimen that the physical package, everything like that. 86 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: And then the twenty twenty two tape was absolutely ridiculous. 87 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: Trey Benson's got the build for goal line US. 88 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: Yes, And so you know, from a fantasy standpoint, he's 89 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: my favorite running back that I've looked into so far, 90 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: because I feel like he can run inside, outside, he 91 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: can break along runs. 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 4: He's gonna help you at the goal line he can catch. 93 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 4: Ok I'm in yeah. 94 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: Now do you think that means Trey Benson will be 95 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: the first running back taken in the draft because they, 96 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: you know, NFL teams don't care about my fantasy team. 97 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: I think he should be And and by the way, 98 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: it's not just the receiving he's to me, it is 99 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: one of the better pass blocking backs in the class 100 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: as well, so he gives you the all around utility 101 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: on the passing downs as well. To me, it's for me. 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: The debate is over for RB one. He solidified that 103 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: at the combine. Debate over for me. 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to the next running back on your list, 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: Tennessee's Jalen Wright Man. 106 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: Can he fly twenty three and a half miles per hour? What? Yes? 107 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: This is a you know he is a track star 108 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: who can run inside. 109 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely stupid athleticism. Yeah, five ten and a half two 110 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: hundred ten pounds and then nine to eight to one ras, 111 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: four to three eight speed, thirty eight inch vertical, eleven 112 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: two broad Just absolutely stupid athleticism, which isn't a surprise 113 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 3: of people that read Bruce Feldman. He was a former 114 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: Feldman free clister We've heard all kinds of tall tales 115 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: about his athleticism. Jalen Wright also has receiving skill, receiving utility, 116 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: and it must be said, does not have a lot 117 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: of tread on the tires. He was in a three 118 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: man rotation at Tennessee this past year. He rose to 119 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: the top of that thing and became sort of the 120 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: one a back of that. Some people nitpick him for this, 121 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: You know that that he wasn't, you know, ever, sort 122 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: of the bellcow guy or whatever. But you know, you 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: can't have it both ways as far as that goes. 124 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: You know, he goes into the NFL healthier than a 125 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: lot of these guys and with less of that tread 126 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: and is certainly the fleet uh sort of athlete as well. 127 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: He's more of the straight line type guy. When he 128 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 3: gets that crease and there's that all the way to 129 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: the he is going to start a racing angle by 130 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: angle by angle of guys and you're not catching him 131 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: from behind. That that's Jalen Wright. I've heard comps tossed 132 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: out of Elvin Kamara. I think that goes a little 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: bit too far. But the other one I hear of 134 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: Tevin Coleman. I don't think that one goes far enough. 135 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: So he's somewhere in between those two guys. But with 136 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: Jalen Wright, you're very early on the developmental curve with 137 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: someone who has all the ability that you want and 138 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 3: and going forward in the NFL, he's going to be 139 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: a better NFL player than he was in college. 140 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's an exciting part. And they started throwing 141 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: to him last year for Jalen right as well. And 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: what do you think his receiving upside is if things? 143 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: You know, if that, if you're to continue can he 144 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: be a forty. 145 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: Fifty ball catcher out in an NFL season? Absolutely? And 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: I would take that that would help. Yeah, And all 147 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: you want to do with that kid is get him 148 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: the ball in space, because every single time you have 149 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 3: the chance to see a home run. Yeah, that's that's 150 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: that's exciting. Uh. 151 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: Let's hope he finds himself into a spot where he 152 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: gets an offensive line and he doesn't need You don't 153 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: have to hold your blocks long for Jalen right, but 154 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: just give him that crease, right, that's right, Yeah, and 155 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: then hold your bread. Let's talk about Texas's Jonathan Brooks. 156 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: He's your next your number three ranked running back at 157 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: this time. And I, as we've mentioned last week, you 158 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: get the right to change your mind. It's March, so 159 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: you can change your mind later. You got you got 160 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: all the way up to the draft. But right now 161 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: you have Jonathan Brooks third. I we touched on this 162 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: a little bit last week. He didn't dazzle me with 163 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: what I saw. And I'm looking for when I'm looking 164 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: at running backstore, I'm looking for guys where I can 165 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: identify some part of their game that's going to be 166 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: special at the NFL level. And just what I've seen 167 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: so far out of Jonathan Brooks, and I've only looked 168 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: at a game and a half, was a guy who 169 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: looks like a sort of a jack of all trades, 170 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: so we can do a lot of things, but nothing special. 171 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: And then I'm just I'm worried during special NFL trades here. 172 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 3: But you like them a little more than I do, 173 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, but I think how you're setting that 174 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: up is totally fair. He's six foot two hundred and 175 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: sixteen pounds athleticism. We didn't get to see that like 176 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: the two other guys we just talked about who put 177 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: on the show because obviously Jonathan Brooks, he tore his 178 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: ACL in November, was not able to work out in Indianapolis. 179 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: But if we had gotten to see his athleticism, he 180 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: would not have tested like the freak of the two 181 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: guys that we just talked about. Jonathan Brooks was stuck 182 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: behind Beijon and Rochean earlier in his career at Texas 183 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: to get by those it's tough to get by those guys. 184 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: But he's not the freak athlete the Bijon is or 185 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: even you know, Rochean obviously in the bigger package. But 186 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: Brooks is an okay athlete, but not a stud athlete 187 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 3: where he excels. His contact balance is very, very good. 188 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: He has good feet. I like his vision, I like 189 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: his patience and his feel for running. Those are the 190 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 3: things that I like about him. He is decent size, 191 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 3: He's a decent athlete. He's not a dynamic receiver, but 192 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 3: he does how He's reliable in that phase. He has 193 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: soft hands. But it's sort of like what you're saying. 194 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, no physical attribute you know, stands 195 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: out an elite level anything like that. It's you know, 196 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: the contact balance is the one thing where I'm like, 197 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: that's really good. But outside of that, it's just a 198 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: lot of things where you know it's he he you know, 199 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: he's sort of at Texas at last season. You know, 200 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: while he was healthy, he sort of added up to 201 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: more than the some of his parts. 202 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: He would say the guy that he reminded me of, 203 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: and feel free to disagree. And I could be totally off. 204 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: Two years ago, when I was really nervous about Trey Sermon, 205 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I was looking at all this productivity, I'm like, well, okay, 206 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: when his offense, amazing offense, just gives him yards, he's great. 207 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: When I need to trace Sermon to do special things, 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: I didn't see it on tape. So Trey Sermon is 209 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: my comp for Jonathan Brooks, and I could be way 210 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: off on that. 211 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: That's deliciously derisive. I had. Mine's kind of derisive too. 212 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 3: I had. I'm still workshopping mine, but I had Sony Michelle, Okay, 213 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: which I'm still workshopping. Like I said, but he's a 214 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: tough guy to camp because well, first of all, we 215 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: don't get the athletic profile on him, but he's also 216 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: one of those guys where his special sauce it has 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: nothing to do with athletic trades, you know what I mean. 218 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: So it's yeah, it's he's a tough one. 219 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get in one more before we take 220 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: a break. When we're rookie running back, Marshawn Lloyd. I 221 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: haven't looked at it at all, So I need I 222 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: need a major I need a major download of Intel 223 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: on Marshawn Lloyd. 224 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: And by the way, our kids now old. 225 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: Enough to been named after Marshawn Lynch. Maybe yeah, I mean, 226 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: are we getting like, you know, is that possible? 227 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe maybe. 228 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: But he's a capital s Marshaan Yeah. Yeah, he's a 229 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: mar shun shun. 230 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, a guy who's definitely stock up after the combine. 231 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: My my only it wasn't a concern, but my only 232 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 3: the one thing I wanted him to show me during 233 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: the process, well two things when we saw him in mobile. 234 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: The one thing I wanted him to show, which it 235 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: was funny he brought this up during our interview with him, 236 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 3: was as a receiver. Because he brought up at both 237 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: at South Carolina and then at USC those offenses did 238 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: not deploy him as much as a receiver as much 239 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: as he would have liked, you know, they used him 240 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 3: as the running back, he was the RB one whatever, 241 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: but not as much as a receiver. He did show 242 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: in mobile that he is a very smooth receiver and 243 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: in the flashes we saw on film, but he showed, 244 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 3: you know, in the receiving drills he's very smooth with that. 245 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: And then during the combine, I wanted to see, is 246 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: this like, where is this kid's athleticism. I actually bet 247 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: my colleague Derek Brown at Fantasy Pros who is He's much? 248 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: He was much higher on on Lloyd as an athlete 249 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: than I was. We made a bet on his forty time. 250 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: I was in the four five's on Lloyd and and 251 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 3: Derek was in the four fours. And let's just say 252 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: I was wrong, Okay. Lloyd ended up running in the 253 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: four four. He four four six with an nine to 254 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: nine RAS. So wow, Yes, So I Derek Brown some 255 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: drinks next time we go to the senior ball. Lloyd 256 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 3: also had a thirty six vertical. He had a very 257 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: very good workout. But on the field, he a couple 258 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: of different things. Very very good agility, so you like that. 259 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: He has good vision, so he sets people up and 260 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: then he has that agility. It's really hard to hit 261 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: him square and he runs angry. We asked him about 262 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: this in mobile too. We were like, you know what, 263 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: you know, why do he run so angry? Like you 264 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: know who hurts you? You know? And he's like he 265 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 3: I didn't even know this about him. You know, he goes, 266 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: he goes. It's because I'm from Delaware. He's like, okay, 267 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: he goes. You come from Delaware, you go out there 268 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: to prove yourself. Wow. I was like, okay, yeah. It 269 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: was like in a wedding crashers. You know, that's what 270 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: Marilyn does. You know. It's like I was like, all right, 271 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: you learned something new every day. But I like Lloyd 272 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: for all these reasons. You know, he he proved it 273 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 3: a South Carolina. Then he went to usc Us. He 274 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: had sorted the trying year last year, but he averaged 275 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: over seven yards of carry. And I do think he 276 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 3: is a better receiver than we saw at his last 277 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: two stops, just because they didn't use him that way. 278 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: Obviously a good athlete, his stock is going up. 279 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: Okay, Marshawn Lloyd usc when we come back, did Michigan's 280 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: Blake Korum succeed just because of the monster offensive line 281 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: that gave him free yards. Find out from thor when 282 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: we come back Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

I love Vidall. 291 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm saying it right. I've said 292 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: if you love him, you should know how to say 293 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: his name. Yeah, I always called him Vidall. You know, 294 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: I interviewed him down there, so I probably should have 295 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: looked up the pronunciation. Guy. But so, a small back 296 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: who is built like a bowling ball. I just have 297 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: a type with running backs. He measured in five eight, 298 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: two hundred and fifteen pounds down at the combine, but 299 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: he has incredible acceleration and agility, a combination of that 300 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: and he gets power from that acceleration and then he 301 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 3: just has a fearless running style. He's another one of 302 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: those guys that you cannot square up. He sort of 303 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 3: hides behind the line of scrimmage and you can't square 304 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: him up because of the agility, and then he gets 305 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: through there so fast because of the acceleration. There was 306 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 3: a lot of people out there that were sort of 307 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 3: sleeping on his speed. Everyone out there thought he was 308 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: gonna run above a four to six combine. He comes 309 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: in runs a four four six who had an eight 310 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: point eighty four raz very very good numbers for him. 311 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: So you know, for me on my board, I have 312 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 3: him as RB five right now. He was way way 313 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: down there on a lot of other boards. I think 314 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: he's going to be rising up after his combine performance. 315 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: For me, I comped him to Jalen Warren. When I 316 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: was down at the combine, I asked, I'm sorry. When 317 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: I was down at the senior ball I asked him 318 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: who he patterned his game after or who you know 319 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: he his own game reminded him of, and he said 320 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: Maurice Jones Drew. 321 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Oh all right, another bowling ball player. Yes, And he 322 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: catched like Maurice Jones drew well. 323 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, he said the one thing he wanted to 324 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: do down to Mobile was showed the NFL that he 325 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: could catch more twenty or more balls every single year 326 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: at Troy, but barely more than that. You know, they 327 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: didn't use him, you know, as much as he would 328 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: have liked in the receiving game. But he showed in 329 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: Mobile as another guy that was very smooth in that. 330 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 3: But you know a lot of guys, when you ask 331 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: them who they comped themselves to, it's always very sad. Yeah, exactly, 332 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: it's always way above their import. But Vidal, he reminds 333 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: me so much of a current NFL player. So I 334 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: just had to ask him if he'd seen this guy, 335 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: if you know, if he saw any of this. He 336 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: reminds me so much of Jalen Warren coming out of 337 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: Oklahoma State. It's the same size. I thought they were 338 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: gonna test similarly, and then Vidall went and blew that out. 339 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: But they the last year at Oklahoma State, Jalen Warren 340 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: finished number two in the NPS and forced miss tackles. 341 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: Last year, come Oni Vidaal at Troy finished number two 342 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: in the NPS in forced myths tackles at the exact 343 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: same size. So I asked him, I said, have you 344 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: ever seen Jalen Warren? You know, what do you think 345 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 3: he He just lit up. He's like, oh yeah, I 346 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: could see that, all right. I think he's gonna in 347 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: the same way. He's gonna be very similar to Jayalen Warren, 348 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 3: either a very very good, complimentary back or a sort 349 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: of a low level starter. 350 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: Your next guy in your list, the next running back 351 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: number seven, Michigan's Blake Koram. Now we touched on this 352 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: a little bit last week. 353 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: Jj. 354 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: Some people ding JJ McCarthy because the offensive line set 355 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: up so many opportunities for him, let him sit in 356 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: the pockets some. But Blake korm had all the same 357 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: advantages and probably times two. Yes, you watch his table 358 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: dudes going like, you know, five yards untouched constantly. Yes, 359 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: So talk to me about Blake Koram and where you 360 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: think his fit is if he's got to run behind 361 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, an NFL average offensive line. 362 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Blake Koram is the guy that really needs 363 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: to get nippick for this Michigan's offensive line last year. 364 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: This is off memory, but pff, they were I believe 365 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 3: they were number two graded run blocking offensive line pass blocking. 366 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 3: It was they were it was something more like eighteen 367 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: or twenty something like that. But that offensive line in 368 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 3: particular was built to maul in the run game. And 369 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 3: you could see this right Like Blake Korum yards after 370 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: contact on average last year was two point four to two, 371 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: which is one of the lowest of the top twenty guys. 372 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: It's hard to nippick him too much for that, though, 373 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: because his yards before contact was absolutely ludicrous, which wasn't 374 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: necessarily his fault he had well, no, he had a 375 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 3: freaking envoy every single time they handed of the ball, right, 376 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: he was just a scarted down the field. It's another 377 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: reason you look at his elusive rating. It's comically low. 378 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 3: Twenty seven point four. You know, one hundred is considered 379 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 3: like a solid one whatever. But it's for the same reason, right, 380 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: Like the metrics are sort of skewed because that offensive 381 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: line was so nasty as a run blocking unit. To 382 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: another reason, you know, only thirty broken tackles. Another thing contextually, 383 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: Blake Korm had the injury, the knee injury late twenty 384 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 3: twenty two. He was still recovering from that early on 385 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: last this past season, in twenty twenty three, so he 386 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 3: was a bit sluggish early in the season as well. 387 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: So you had a couple of those things going. The 388 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: thing that I like about Blake Korm I mentioned before, 389 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: I fetishized the bowling ball build. Yeah, I love guys 390 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: like that, the agility and everything like that, the powerful build, 391 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 3: everything like that. Blake Korum five eight two o five 392 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: weight in at the combine, he has that agility, very 393 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: very agile. In fact, his three cone six eight to 394 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 3: two was tremendous. The forty was more meager at four 395 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 3: five three, but the ras overall was solid at eight 396 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: four eight. You like the the three cone, You like 397 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: the vision, very very good. He runs with power, he 398 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 3: breaks the arm tackles. Those are the things I like 399 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: about Blake Korum. But I do have him down there 400 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 3: at running back six right now, just because he's not 401 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 3: as good of a receiver he is. He has the 402 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 3: reliable hands, but he's not a great route runner. He's 403 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 3: probably gonna be off the field on most passing downs. 404 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 3: He's gonna get the early down work in the NFL, 405 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: But for fantasy, you do have to mention that that 406 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: you're probably gonna have a better receiving back on your roster. 407 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: He's at five foot eight, he's still powerful enough where 408 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: he can be a goal linebacker for right, I think 409 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: it feels that way. 410 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, let's go to. 411 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 4: South Dakota States Isaiah Davis. 412 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: Yes, wow, okay, I have not broken him down in 413 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: th South Dakota States obviously got a very nice program. 414 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: Yes, what do I need to know about Isaiah Davis? 415 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: He is a very different kind of a back than 416 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 3: the last one we got from South Dakota State, Pier Strong. 417 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 3: Pierre Strong was he was the straight line home run 418 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 3: hit or the speed guy. Right, Isaiah Davis is a 419 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: powerback who is more of like a slalom type guy. 420 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: And then when defenders, so he's got the agility, but 421 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 3: he's an upright runner, but when defenders hit him from 422 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: the side or off angles, it's like a cartoon where 423 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 3: they just slide off them, you know, like when they're 424 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: hitting a brick wall. He even though he runs upright, 425 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: it's it was so funny watching his tape because he 426 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: has both the contact balance but also just like it's 427 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 3: like touching an electric fence, like the kid just has 428 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: the superpower that now you do have to say he 429 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: was in the FCS, but at the highest level of it. 430 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 3: You know, at South Dakota State, they won, They were 431 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: a juggernaut. I mean, they went undefeated and he was 432 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: the Bellcow. They also played Iowa, you know, they played 433 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: some FPS teams over the last couple of years. You 434 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: happen to know how he. 435 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: Did against Iowa because that'd be awfully telling. Yeah, well, 436 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: obviously an elite defense. 437 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't have the numbers right, and it 438 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: wasn't a fair question. Yeah, but I mean late in 439 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: the season, you know, everything like that. Down the stretch, 440 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 3: he was just absolutely dominant, you know, and over the 441 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: course of four years, I do have that number, four thousand, 442 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: four hundred sixty one yards, forty nine touchdowns, seven yards 443 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 3: per carry over forty five games. But yeah, he that's 444 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: what it is. It's the combination of the agility one 445 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: cut agility, you know, it's not joystick agility, but the 446 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 3: one cut thing, and then the power and the contact 447 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 3: balance even for an upright runner. And he showed the reason. 448 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 3: You know, he was another guy, you know, along with Vida, 449 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: who are sort of my guys, you know, heading into 450 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: the combine. Just like Vidal Isaa Davis proved the concept 451 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis eight seven to three RAS at the bigger 452 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: size six foot two hundred and twenty pounds eight seven 453 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: three RAS four five seven forty, which is fine for 454 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 3: a bigger back like that with his style thirty four 455 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: and a half vertical. So yeah, he's going to go 456 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 3: into the NFL. He's going to be a strong back 457 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: probably complimentary initially, but as far as the short yardage guy, 458 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 3: the early down type guy, he's going to be productive 459 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 3: I think in the NFL, just not not a receiving 460 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: guy initially. 461 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: All right, that's but hey, you know what, I like 462 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns and Isaiah Davis sounds like he's built goaling specifically. 463 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 3: Which which I love. 464 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: Let's go to I'm going to talk about two guys, 465 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: our final two runners, two guys that underperformed at the 466 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: combine and have seen their their stocks seemingly go down 467 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: a little bit in the aftermath of that. First we 468 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: start with oudrich S Timmey from Notre Dame and then 469 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: Oregon's Bucky Irving, two guys who who needed good combines 470 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: and didn't get them. 471 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, so estimate was he had a fabulous year last year. 472 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: He had ninety four point two PFF grade, you know, 473 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 3: and with the bellcow for that Notre Dame offense, you know, 474 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 3: they just sort of put it on his back. But 475 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: he ran a four to seven to one forty in 476 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 3: Indianapolis with with a one five to eight ten yard split. 477 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: Not good. Now some people consider that disqualifying. I was 478 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: four to seven. Yeah, yeah, I will say the rest 479 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: of his tests were pretty good. He had he had 480 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 3: a thirty eight inch vert at a bigger size. He 481 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: had an over ten foot broad. That's why he came 482 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 3: in in an eight to five to nine RAS. But 483 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 3: again you have the slow forty with the sluggish ten 484 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: yard split. The compy like most for him, which I 485 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 3: think fits very well. As Jamal Williams for estimating in 486 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: the NFL. I think he sorted that your early down 487 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 3: type grinder guy in the goal line type guy. And 488 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: I don't think that the speed thing necessarily changes my 489 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 3: view point on that comes in six foot little over 490 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: two hundred twenty pounds. The guy who I'm more concerned 491 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: about the combine was Bucky Irving. He comes in five 492 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: to nine hundred and ninety pounds. His his RAZ three 493 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: seven to two. What runs a four five five, one 494 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 3: five four ten yard split. His vertical is under thirty inches. Wow. Yeah, 495 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 3: he couldn't jump over a stack of ten dollars bills 496 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: and his broad was was nine feet. Uh. Not good 497 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: Bucky Irving. He made guys missing college. He has some 498 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: receiving skill, but he has to show that he can 499 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 3: run by people at that very small size. I don't 500 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: know what to say with that lack of athleticism. He 501 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: might have just made himself undraftable. The people who like 502 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 3: Bucky Irving are now making the argument that he is 503 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: Kyron Williams. Brian Johnson is already drafting his argument that 504 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: he's Kyrien Williams. But yeah, it's not a good day 505 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: for Bucky Irving at the combine. So is he just 506 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 3: gonna be a pure re even back in the NFL? 507 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 3: You think, I think that's what it's gotta be. 508 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's that's something of a loss for the 509 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: starting running back on a very good offense. 510 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: Great job on running backs. 511 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, let's uh, let's do wide receivers next. 512 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you feel about that?
