  • Learning to “Drive” with Oklahoma QB Landry Jones

    Spring is here, flowers are in bloom, and now’s the time to look at next year’s NFL Draft prospects. A player I didn’t see much of the past two years, but I intend to watch a great deal in 2012 is Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones. Jones considered leaving school a year early to enter the…

  • A Route Lesson for Panthers WR Joe Adams From Wes Welker

    Carolina Panthers rookie receiver Joe Adams has dynamite skills after the catch. I also like his ability to catch the football.

On at least five down field routes, I saw Adams still fighting for separation against the…

  • RSP Football Writers Project: July 23rd

    With the NFL Draft over and mini camps underway, we’re getting close to that time of year where football writers can take a breather.

  • 2012 Post-Draft Skill Player Impressions Part-I

    I don’t believe in grading the draft. Many of my colleagues, ones I respect a great deal, will be providing draft grades this week. Some of them will say that they don’t believe a draft can be graded accurately for a few years, but two paragraphs later they are grading away like they’re teaching middle…
