Astrobot Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 How does he compare to James Hardy? Not being a wise-ass, just asking, cause I also loved Hardy coming out of IU. If you loved Hardy, how about this RD7#199/UDFA prospect? Damarlo Belcher WR Indiana WR 6-5 213 12 TD Returned in 2011 to break James Hardy’s records Would have done it. But: Oct 31 2011: Demarlo Belcher was dismissed from the IU Football team, ending his career at IU=suspension for the Northwestern game for failing drug test. He had 189 catches. James Hardy holds the school record with 191. Injuries and a one-game suspension, however, had only allowed Belcher to play in six of the first nine games. He had 25 catches for 286 yards and a touchdown when he was kicked off the team. As a junior, Belcher had 78 catches for 832 yards and four touchdowns. Belcher said he told the scouts that he was hanging around with the wrong crowd. “I basically told them, ‘Man, I just gotta watch who I hang around with and watch my peers because it’s easy to do bad things when those guys aren’t doing the same things as you.’ I just told them my word is my bond and I won’t let the same things happen again at the next level.” Progressing each year, and seemed poised to have a big senior year. With his size and speed, if he put up good numbers this year, it wasn’t crazy to think that he would be a late round pick!

Belcher: http://bit.ly/wfFcci It sounds like James Hardy part two, i mean from the size of the kid down to him having maybe an attitude problem? UDFA maybe, But if you can find a SJ and a D. Bell in the seventh, they are vaulable picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDFA maybe, But if you can find a SJ and a D. Bell in the seventh, they are vaulable picks? The other WR I'd like us to look at in RD6-7 is Lavasier Tuinei. Oregon inclement weather player, 6’5” 216, and sets up defenders really well, catches away from body, light for a TE, add weight and he’s an H-back… goes immediately to the ground for 2TDs, …great body control… last minute snatch to catch long pass so CB didn’t know. His liability is his thin lower body--he needs chicken wings really bad. http://bit.ly/Ae2vei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Was he wearing full pads, being covered by a cornerback and had to make a catch at the end of the dash? If not, I could give a sh-- about his 40 time. If there was no place for 40s, teams would not fly across the country to see guys run them. 40s are just part of the evaluation, like everything else.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) All 40 times are pretty misleading, and virtually none of them are accurate. It's easily the most overrated stat in football, IMO. Here is a very good article from a very smart NFL guy Greg Gabriel. http://www.signonsan...-1s18forty.html This is the best article I ever read on the 40. The main crux is to say that in the 1988 Olympics, the fastest person in the world, breaking the all-time sprint record, in track spikes, on a fast track, with a tail wind, with Carl Lewis chasing him, and with the help of steroids that disqualified him, Ben Johnson ran the 40 in 4.38. http://www.signonsan...-1s18forty.html Edited March 28, 2012 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason that nobody that has watched his games thinks that he can succeed in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanInTexas Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBD Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Kevin_Weidl Kevin Weidl One last time I botched the first 40 time for Jeffery (4.38) and my second time of 4.47 was more acc w/ what scouts had on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
