First-Round Running Back Case Study

When scouts consider raw talent, Deshaun Watson may not fall into the Brady category of prototypical signal callers. However, pedigree is a different story all together. Here is why Deshaun Watson is worthy of a draft flier, since he may end up being the starting quarterback in Houston, sooner than some

This brings us to his future. For now he is going to stick with the falcons and continue as the star running back. He is not just doing this for himself, but he is doing it for his family. He is going to stay with them and pay for his sisters college. He does not want to get caught up in a contract dispute, because the only thing that matters to him is football and taking care of his family. Devonta Freeman only has one more year on his contract though, and we will see if he takes any offers. As far as his stats look, they look like they will keep improving, and be even more impressive than they already

The former University of Florida and Wharton High School star has been told the right cornerback spot is his to lose. But when the Bucs go to their sub packages with five defensive backs, Hargreaves moves inside to the slot, showing the kind of versatility by a defensive back not seen in Tampa Bay since Ronde Barber retired.

Taking nothing from him, he at the very least doesn't turn the ball over. Only one interception is his two starts. One of the biggest concerns many people have noticed with him is at times he holds on to the ball a little longer than necessary in the pocket which causes him to get sacked more than he should. Although, he improved that much more in the game against New England than he did against the Chicago Bears the prior

As of right now, the Bucs have Z-E-R-O players with any ability to pass rush. Sure, Robert Ayers is good at what he does, but don't expect more than 6 sacks out of him. William Gholston is a great “run stopping” left DE but don't expect him to get to the opposing QB very often. Last year we drafted Noah Spence and he has shown flashes of his skills, but he has been injured most of the year.

I've spoken before on the spark Alvin Kamara brings to an offense, and I really was hoping for him to fall to us a year ago, but things happen, and luckily for us, Ronald Jones fell to us instead this year. His home run ability will be a very nice weapon that our offense has missed for the last few years.

"I have thrown a lot at him, giving him a ton of reps," offensive coordinator Jake Spavital said. "I think the kid has the right mind set. You can tell that he has played a lot of football. He was actually a quarterback at Rice at one point and then he has been a receiver. He has played at the college level. Really right now he is trying to figure out the offense and all of the ins and outs of it. He can hopefully get out there and help us. I have been pleased with how he is so far, we just have to keep repping over these next two weeks and developing him and getting it to where he starts to think slow is what I’m trying to accomplish with him."

Ezekiel Elliott, a natural athlete, was born into an athletic family, but now could be considered the best running back in the NFL, leading the NFL in most yards per carry after contact. Thanks to his offensive line, Zeke is just pure talent on the football field, if one was to ask any running back, fullback, quarterback, or anybody behind the offensive line before a play, they would answer that the play would not ever succeed without those lineman protecting them. Zeke admits that the previous statement is true, and anyone could be place behind the Cowboys’ offensive line, and they would do well. However, Zeke is a different story, his offensive line definitely

Even with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, an NFL team can only withstand so many injuries. They’ve been without Jordy Nelson all season, Randall Cobb has been playing with a hurt shoulder all year long, Eddie Lacy hasn’t been in shape, Davante Adams hasn’t been 100 percent since week one, and their starting cornerbacks started the year at number three and four on the depth chart.

At Michigan he spent the majority of his time at the tight end position. In his career he had 1715 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns pretty good considering the Michigan football program hasn’t won in recent

Since becoming a staple of the offense, the Vikings has averaged more points, yards, and plays per game than they did prior to him being active. In addition to that, with Diggs in the lineup Teddy Bridgewater has looked much more like the guy we saw at the end of last season, than the guy we saw through the first three

Since this is only his rookie season there is lots of room for improvement. I believe that he can make it to the hall of fame. But it is crucial that he stays at the Cowboys. First of all our fanbase is huge and supportive. Second of all we have the best offensive line in football. If you do not have good blockers your running back would go no where. Hopefully he can be better than Emmitt Smith.

He continued his record-breaking ways on the track in college, shattering a 38-year old American record in the indoor 60-meter hurdles in 2014 with a time of 7.68 seconds, all the while also playing football. Burns was also a defensive back for Miami Northwestern High School, given a four-star rating by Rivals.com who ranked him the 15th-best defensive back in the nation. In high school, he was initially a safety, with 80 tackles (10 for a loss) and 12 pass breakups, 4 forced fumbles and 1 interception as a junior. He converted to cornerback, and he became a starter in his second season at Miami. Through three years, the cornerback had 93 combined tackles (65 solo), 14 pass breakups and seven interceptions (six in 2015). Now, Burns is a Steeler, selected 25th-overall on Day 1 and has the chance to be a starter in his rookie season.

The true wildcard of the 2018 NFL Draft has to be LSU edge rusher Arden Key. He is viewed as a big-time boom or bust prospect, and it is very tough to gauge his value. With the Bears obvious need for an edge rusher, all options need to be analyzed and considered. With his down year and off the field issues, he is falling on some draft boards after being viewed as a future top fice draft pick before this season. Below is a review of this polarizing draft prospect.

One of the team’s biggest strengths is their powerhouse offense. But the man under center is what makes that powerhouse offense run. That man is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league if not the best. His statistics are unbelievable. He has the highest quarterback rating in NFL history at 103.8, while the second closest is 98.9. He has thrown 300 touchdowns to only 74 interceptions. That being a 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio, also the best in NFL history. One of his most impressive streaks was his success at home. In 2015, he threw an interception at home. The last one he threw at home before that was in 2012. He went three years without throwing an interception at home. Truly a remarkable feat. In 2011, Aaron had one of the best seasons
