  • RSP Film Room No.83: LB Leonard Floyd

    RSP Film Room No.83: LB Leonard Floyd

    Charles McDonald of Playmaker Mentality returns to the show for a look at the Georgia player I thought was a confounding choice as a top-15 pick, but McDonald makes a compelling case to rethink that position.   I studied Leonard Floyd in September. After two games, I turned he tape off and decided I didn’t…

  • RSP Film Room No.82: LB Darron Lee w/Jene Bramel

    RSP Film Room No.82: LB Darron Lee w/Jene Bramel

    Jene Bramel returns to the film room and shows his chops on the defensive side of the ball.  Darron Lee has been the most requested player for the film room episodes of the 2016 season. The Buckeyes’ outside linebacker is an athlete, but Bramel shows us why Lee is a solid prospect with room to…

  • RSP Film Room: DE Tyrone Holmes, Montana

    RSP Film Room: DE Tyrone Holmes, Montana

    Justis Mosqueda profiles his under the radar find in this terrific episode of the film room.  A high school defensive line and offensive line coach, Justis Mosqueda is one of my favorite resources for edge rushers. If you haven’t heard of  his Force Players studies, I suggest you check it out immediately. I also recommend you…

  • RSP Film Room: QB Vad Lee on Vad Lee

    RSP Film Room: QB Vad Lee on Vad Lee

    QB Vad Lee joins the show for a look at his comeback victory against SMU. A few months ago, I posted a RSP Rorschach video about Vad Lee. He saw the video on Twitter and we struck up a conversation. I extended him an open invitation to the RSP Film Room  at that time. Last week, Lee…

  • RSP Film Room No.78: Clemson DE Shaq Lawson

    RSP Film Room No.78: Clemson DE Shaq Lawson

    GM Jr.’s Scott Bischoff provides the film room a compelling contrarian view of a player many regard as a top-15 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.  There’s a difference between first-round talent and talent that goes in the top half of the first round. Scott Bischoff makes that argument with Shaq Lawson. A smart run…

  • RSP Film Room No.77: Edge Defender Kamalei Correa

    RSP Film Room No.77: Edge Defender Kamalei Correa

    NDT Scouting’s Kyle Crabbs joins the show with a look at the edge defender. This show is a good primer on defensive concepts for edge technique featuring a prospect with strength, bend, and good hand usage that should only get better. Crabbs does a fine job of revealing how technique and play context work together.…

  • RSP Boiler Room No.29: QB Jared Goff & Pocket Presence

    RSP Boiler Room No.29: QB Jared Goff & Pocket Presence

    What is good pocket presence in a quarterback? Two plays of Jared Goff’s work versus UCLA illustrate a lot of the criteria that I value.  Pocket presence for a quarterback is a lot like vision for a running back. There are several skills required to possess the trait an they must be well-integrated into the…

  • RSP Film Room No.76: DL DeForest Buckner

    RSP Film Room No.76: DL DeForest Buckner

    Bolts From the Blue writer Kyle Posey rejoins the show for a look at Buckner, a strong, versatile lineman with a lot of tools in the box. If the techniques for defensive linemen are tools, DeForest Buckner’s game is on its way to becoming a garage of a gearhead. The Oregon lineman is long, strong,…

  • RSP Boiler Room: Utah RB Devontae Booker

    RSP Boiler Room: Utah RB Devontae Booker

    Two plays, both display Booker’s skill, but one also has a lot of luck involved. Learn the difference. Skill and luck. Depending on the bias of the fan or the depth of observation, these two things get confused every time there’s a game on television. Booker is a skilled back, but even skilled backs get lucky…

  • RSP Film Room No.74: QB Vad Lee

    RSP Film Room No.74: QB Vad Lee

    The James Madison passer is a late-round/UDFA favorite of me and ITP’s Mark Schofield. Vad Lee is a quarterback who can run. He’s not a runner who played quarterback in college football. What’s the difference? When a team will need to do more work to get less out of a player by converting him to…
