RSP Boiler Room No. 91: RB James Conner (Pittsburgh)
Matt Waldman’s RSP Boiler Room takes a brief look at Pittsburgh Steelers 2017 NFL Draft pick James Conner’s quickness and cut blocking. I wish James Conner ran the 20 Shuttle and 3-Cone at the NFL Combine. If he truly regained some of the pre-illness agility and quickness that he claims in this letter published in […]

RSP Boiler Room No. 90 QB Josh Rosen (UCLA): Eye Discipline And Patience
Matt Waldman’s RSP Boiler Room reveals how Rosen, a prominent QB prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft, uses his eyes to patiently set up defenders. Josh Rosen has an aggressive mindset. I value this with quarterbacks even if the first time I saw Rosen, he threw multiple interceptions and two near the red zone because […]

RSP Boiler Room No.86: TE Jeremy Sprinkle (Arkansas)
Play intelligence from a run blocker and pass protector at the tight end position. Technique and athletic ability earn much of the focus when studying draft prospects. Often, those qualities take a back seat to play intelligence. Jeremy Sprinkle is an unsung option in an exciting class of rookie tight ends. He’s big, strong, and […]

RSP Film Room No.99: Edge Defender T.J. Watt (Wisconsin) w/Guest, Kyle Crabbs
Projection is a significant component of evaluation and NDT Scouting’s Kyle Crabbs presents a case for T.J. Watt as prospect worth that initial three-year investment. One of the toughest aspects of scouting talent is projecting development. NDT Scouting’s Kyle Crabbs RSP Film Room selection, T.J. Watt has aspects of a project. He’s light and lean […]

RSP Boiler Room No.85: QB Processor Speed
More examples that reveal how a tap or too of the foot can be the difference between a winning and losing quarterback. The feet tell you a lot about a quarterback’s feel for the game and how he’s feeling on the field. I’ve been saying this for a few years. If you understand what the […]

RSP Boiler Room No.78: TE Phazahn Odom (Fordham)
Even 6’8″, 245-pound tight end with huge hands should refrain from clapping the ball. The RSP Boiler Room examines Odom’s intriguing potential. Phazahn Odom plays at a small program, he’s a string bean relative to his height, and there’s a long list of well-known tight end prospects competing for a draft pick this spring. That’s what Odom is. […]

RSP Film Room No.93: OLB/DE Joe Mathis, Extended Look
Notable plays from OLB/DE Joe Mathis’ portfolio of work against Stanford and Arizona. Give me smarts and a high motor and chances are I’ll like the prospects of an athletic defender. Joe Mathis has that snap-to-whistle intensity and a good blend of creativity, and on-field maturity. Throw in Mathis’ array of pass rush moves, bend, […]

RSP Boiler Room No.73: OLB/DE Joe Mathis (Washington)
The worst-kept secret of good edge prospects played for the Huskies. I’ll often watch one player only to have another perform so well that he hijacks my motivation to watch the original assignment. It happened a few years ago when Ryan Riddle and I were watching Denzel Perryman and Nebraska RB Ameer Abdullah ran away with […]

RSP Film Room No.72: WR Dede Westbrook (Oklahoma)
Oklahoma WR Dede Westbrook is one of the better 2017 NFL receiver prospects in this class, and one of its smallest. If two players are equal in every way with the exception of height, I’ll choose the taller one. Choosing players is not like selecting a car. NFL players don’t roll off the line at […]

RSP Film Room No.90: QB Brad Kaaya (Miami), Extended Look
The junior from Miami has the skills to earn a nice second contract in the NFL. Technically and athletically, Brad Kaaya is the polar opposite of Patrick Mahomes. While both players have starter potential, Kaaya is the textbook option. Kaaya’s footwork is consistent, he has experience under center, and he throws the ball away when […]
