Your Favorite Player After The Combine

Pick only one. Who was the one player that impressed you the most at the combine.

 

For me, it was Jason Verrett (CB, TCU) today. The kid was impressive all afternoon. He tested very well, showed great speed (4.38), and my favorite part of all was his attitude. Verrett came in and was all about competing. Had his game face on the whole time, and didn't even flinch talking to Deion.

Although he didn't have a flashy combine Pryor is still my favorite with Cooks as a close second. I also like Gilbert and Fuller.

 

I noticed Allen Robinson struggled at the combine he could be there at our second round pick. I agree about Verrett he stood out today 

 

WR: Watkins, Evans, Cooks, Mathews, Lee, Robinson

CB: Gilbert, Fuller, Verrett, Desir, Exum, SJB, McGill

S: Pryor and Clinton-Dix

DL: Aaron Donald, Justin Ellis, Kareem Martin

 

Didn't get to see the OLinemen but I heard Greg Robinson ran out of the building

I have to say that Clowney's performance at the combine impressed me the most .There should be very little doubt that he should be taken as the 2014 NFL draft's top overall selection. However, Houston is looking for a QB,so this may not happen.

 

I've been impressed with Clowney too, but I'll be honest and say his 21 reps on the bench are not impressive for a position where strength is key.... his speed makes up for it some I'm sure, but 21 reps at 266 lbs is not very good.

I feel sure the coaches will have Clowney hitting the weights a lot this year.However,Clowney is all about speed and relies very little on the bull rush,so I don't feel his under achieving with the reps is a major concern. Nothing, in my opinion, that can't be worked on and improved.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
