  1. For those interested...

     

    the rookie premiere is where the players take and receive their first football cards. I went to it many years ago with my wife. She had to cover it for work and interview all the players. I got to help.

     

    the card companies pick the players and skew heavily toward offense skill positions. Top 5 picks usually get invited.

     

    the year I went, there were two Bills there; Mike Williams and Josh Reed. Overall, it was a very poor class. I got to interact with many of the players and it was easily apparent which players would have NFL careers and which were not going to be good. One WR was asked to flip the ball back and forth in his hands. He couldn’t do it. Kept dropping the ball. There were two WRs who were college QBs that year - Erik Crouch and Antwan Randle-El. Crouch couldn’t throw the ball. Randle-El did everything he was asked to do and stayed to throw passes to the receivers (so they could take pics of them catching the ball).

     

    really fun experience.

  3. Jeffrey had AWFUL QBs. I'd rank him above the other players coming out of SC in the past few years.

     

    Big physical receiver with great hands. Would be a steal in round 2.

     

    Remember, Buddy likes to draft guys from the south from big schools.

  4. yeah...he's not quick/fast enough.

     

     

    Watching this game (SC Alum), I thought it was a RB running. So did the announcers.

     

    The last time I touted a South Carolina player, I was supporting John Abraham (one of my former students). Was confident he'd make a great pro. I feel the same about Ingram.
