The NFL season has come to an end. Maybe for most. My favorite part of the year is taking front stage now. I love the combine and all the activities that come with it. Right now the scouts are diving into film and stats. In a couple of months they will have numbers to go with them. These 40 times, bench press reps, heights, and weights will have a great impact on the draft positions. I will be posting my predictions on the draft and how I think these players will do as rookies and vets.
At this moment I can promise you a couple of things. One, There will be a tailback from a less noticeable school that gets drafted high and will be more of a threat in the NFL than he was in college. This trend has been carried by players like Matt Forte of Tulane, Tim Hightower of Richmond, and Chris Johnson of East Carolina this year. In previous years Brandon Jacobs and the rest of the "Earth, Wind and, Fire" crew also fit this mold. This year i believe Andre Brown from NC State will have that designation. He is big (6' 224 lbs.) and has very quick feet. He put on a great show at the senior bowl. there will also be a corner taken high that has little experience or comes from a small school. There are a couple guys that will fit this mold. Coye Francies of San Jose State and Domonique Johnson of Jackson State have great frames and great speed. If they run below 4.42 at the combine, they will go in rounds 1 and 2. As a corner myself, i have studied their games and technique. I believe they will do well on some of the taller WR of the NFL.
I could go on for days about this and I will in future post. Stay tuned for more of my draft and rookie predictions.
