  • Aspire For The Catch, Settle For The Trap

    Aspire For The Catch, Settle For The Trap

    Marqise Lee, Gator Hoskins, and Draftbreakdown.com, provide good examples why extending the arms to catch the ball is important. Draft Breakdown.com is a wonderful source for viewing cut-ups of games. When I don’t have a game I need from my own growing library of recorded games (probably in the thousands by now) this site filled…

  • Boiler Room: Penn State WR Allen Robinson

    Boiler Room: Penn State WR Allen Robinson

    Most believe Allen Robinson is a good prospect, so why show a positive play in the Boiler Room? The Boiler Room Series is my attempt to capture the state of an NFL prospect’s development into a single play. This is an impossible task, but what if you have a limited number of plays to state…

  • Boiler Room: Ole Miss RB/PR Jeff Scott

    Boiler Room: Ole Miss RB/PR Jeff Scott

    Curling into the fetal position was a highlight I considered, but it wouldn’t be fair to a dynamic player. The Boiler Room Series is my attempt to capture the state of an NFL prospect’s development into a single play. This is an impossible task, but what if you have a limited number of plays to…

  • Boiler Room: CU WR Paul Richardson

    Boiler Room: CU WR Paul Richardson

    “Have you seen Paul Richardson yet?” You’re about to see why I’ve been asked this question by a follower multiple times since August. Last week, I finally watched two games of the Colorado receiver and I get it, Richardson has flash to his game. You’ll see what I mean if you’ve never heard of the…

  • No Huddle Series: Missouri WR L’Damien Washington

    No Huddle Series: Missouri WR L’Damien Washington

    The 2014 installment of this series begins with a rough around the edges receiver with the physical talents of A.J. Green and Justin Hunter. The No Huddle Series is an on-field profile of prospects with the talent to develop into NFL contributors, but they are projected as talents with mid-to-late round draft grades. The 2014…

  • RSP Flashback: Alshon Jeffery Pre-Draft Analysis

    RSP Flashback: Alshon Jeffery Pre-Draft Analysis

    How did I grade Alshon Jeffery in the 2012 NFL Draft? A potential cross between Michael Irvin and Cris Carter if Jeffery demonstrates he wants to work like a pro. Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina (6-3, 216) Cris Carter-Michael Irvin is also a good best-case scenario for a player of Jeffery’s talents. However, where Criner has a dash…

  • Futures: Jared Abbrederis vs. Bradley Roby

    Futures: Jared Abbrederis vs. Bradley Roby

    In the case of Bradley Roby vs. Jared Abbrederis was the outcome based on rust or polish? I’ll take polish.    Futures: Jared Abbrederis vs. Bradley Roby by Matt Waldman Depending whom you ask, Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby is one of the top three to five cornerbacks in the 2014 NFL Draft. Draftniks love…

The LSU receiver is capable of breaking a big play at any moment. Add a quarterback with Zach Mettenberger’s NFL arm strength and the needle on the hype…

  • Boiler Room: Michigan WR Jeremy Gallon

    Boiler Room: Michigan WR Jeremy Gallon

    Footballguys.com Bob Henry is one of the best fantasy writers I know and someone I’m thankful to have as a friend of mine. We became fast friends after sharing our love for the old AFC Central; Funk, Soul, and R&B music; and all the varieties of Asian cuisine. Bob – a huge Michigan fan –…

  • NFL Closeup: WR Jordy Nelson vs. Bump and Run

    NFL Closeup: WR Jordy Nelson vs. Bump and Run

    I would love to take 20 receivers, place them in four groups of five players based on height and weight range, dress them in uniforms that cover their skin head to toe, and have them scrimmage with cornerbacks on tape. While they’re playing, I’d give the audience the names of the players in each group,…
