  • Boiler Room: Arizona State RB Marion Grice

    Boiler Room: Arizona State RB Marion Grice

    One of my favorite players in this draft thus far is this 6-0, 204-lb. Sun Devils running back with the vision, balance, and grit to get the most from every play.  A series I started last spring at the RSP blog is The Boiler Room. One of the challenges involved with player analysis is to be succinct…

  • 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…

  • 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 –…

  • Boiler Room: Florida State RB James Wilder

    Boiler Room: Florida State RB James Wilder

    I remember James Wilder, Sr.  A 6’3″, 225-pound wrecking ball where he had two seasons in Tampa Bay with a combined 772 carries for 2844 yards and 23 touchdowns, Wilder is the best running back in Buccaneers history if you ask me.  One of those years, Wilder had 407 carries, 1544 yards rushing, 13 rushing…

  • Boiler Room: RB Todd Gurley

    Boiler Room: RB Todd Gurley

    Todd Gurley’s style reminds me of Penn State star Larry Johnson.  For those of you who remember Johnson for his exploits with the Chiefs than the headlines he made off the field, it’s weighty praise. What they have in common is the agility of a 210-pound runner in the powerful frame of  225-230 lb. back.…

  • Boiler Room: Michigan State RB Le’Veon Bell

    Boiler Room: Michigan State RB Le’Veon Bell

    A polarizing player in the draft community engenders endless debate – even after we see that player on an NFL field. If he succeeds his backers believe that the detractors over analyzed the situation. If the prospect struggles the  naysayers will claim the backers didn’t see enough. In this sense Le’Veon Bell is a polarizing player…

  • Boiler Room Series: USC WR Robert Woods

    Boiler Room Series: USC WR Robert Woods

    Compared to his peers in this 2013 wide receiver draft class, Robert Woods has a “quiet game.” The USC Trojan is an average-sized receiver with good quickness, but his measurements as an athlete is nothing special. Yet, Woods is one of the best prospects at his position – a wide receiver class that I contend…

  • Boiler Room: Oregon St. WR Markus Wheaton

    Boiler Room: Oregon St. WR Markus Wheaton

    Wheaton is my favorite wide receiver in this draft. There are dozens of plays I’d like to show you and then there’s another dozen of one-on-one moments where he shined against a good class of corners at the Senior Bowl practices. He might not be the best receiver in this class, but I think he’s…
