I think a lot of people are at this point. McKinstry is now seen as a 2nd round prospect. Mitchells seems to have it all really, size, athleticism, coverage ability, etc. I think he may become census top CB before the draft.
I can't see a world Alt drops to us. If he did, absolutely sprint to the podium. Blue chip stud LT. Fashanu has some warts but he's still a top notch LT prospect, and likely won't sniff 19.
Otto, we must forgive. Look at me after we passed on Creed a couple of years back. I've almost forgiven McSnead already
Where are questions about work ethic & coachability coming from? I follow USC closely.. heard nothing of it.
I’ll take your word from it on that - I’m not a huge PAC-12 guy. But it does seem that there is a lot of discussion around him at the moment outside of his football accolades - slow news cycle in the lead up to the draft?
Yeah. Too much spotlight.. he DOES do some things differently on the business side… but I don’t know how much of that is him or the product of the NIL environment.
Thats a great point - the NIL environment, while still embryonic, is changing the landscape for college sports. Being a first mover, Caleb Williams is a potential test case for the NFLPA and the NFL around college stars making the leap to the NFL. Should be an interesting few years!
I honestly think it's funny that people think Kyler comps are negatives when it comes to his play.
The question with Chop is how he would stand up against the run at NFL level. He’s certainly one of the best pure pass rushers in the draft.
I watched the majority of the USC games the last two years and Caleb is a QB who so far takes forever to find an open receiver but when he does - he guns it accurately to that receiver.
It's been like that every year it seems of late. They did the same shit to Levis last year. First they beat him up about his production dip even though there were reasons for it, then the shit like his weird personality even the mayo in coffee thing. So I agree with you, there is a complete fucking lack of objectivity with today's media.
I'm worried about his lack of production. He's similar to OWeh in that regard. 6 sacks in his 3 year career at PSU. 15 tackles last year. If he's such a freak of nature (which athletically it appears he is) why was he not productive? He had 2 of the 4 sacks against a vastly inferior opponent U Mass.
Which pod is that?
Sorry, the Athletic football pod. When Nate Tice or Robert Mays do that one or any time Charles Robinson is on Zero Blitz seem like required listening to be up to date on football goings on.
Love The Athletic football pods.
Man, there's something about Sando and Mueller's riffing, schtick, whatever and sound of voice that irks me. And I never seem to come away with new knowledge like I do with Tice and Mays. But perhaps that's cause I can't get over their voices and haven't listened for awhile.
