Ha-Ha..1st I had to laugh than do the background check on this Mr. Leonard Floyd falsified character . Wrestling & football come hand in hand to me from the University of Toledo Days. Toledo has a huge Olympic Wrestling Tree from Joseph Scalzo to my great Wrestling coach & friend The Great Wojo (Wojciechowski) trained by Dick the Bruiser. Due to my wrestling flex-ability, The Great Wojo nicknamed me Gumby. It carried over to my failed walk-on attempt at TE position at UToledo. The nickname has stuck all my life since college. I clearly should own any pat-ton rights to this nickname (problem is I can't get the wife to wear her matching Pokey' named shirt anymore ) Leonard Floyd, you have a new Fan!! thanks T

Another interesting winner... you're on an article hot-streak, LB... but the writer never really gets around to projecting what the prospects will do. Especially the final chart where all the prospects an be expected to fall somewhere between 0 sacks and JJ Watt. Not exactly putting himself out on a limb.

This line kinda jumped out at me:

Even Leonard Floyd based his game off of inside stunts with his long Gumby frame.

Gumby... I had no idea...

Thanks...

On DL converts my first thought was, "That's what LSU did with Cam Erving."

Similar to the SPARQ evals you've likely seen, but considered by some to be a deeper dive...

Get ready for a "I knew it! That's my guy" / "Where's my guy?" Roller Coaster...

Pretty much a confirmation bias thing as far as we go.

DePo & Co.??? Who knows?

He only played in Stillwater for two years and was okay his first year. He took off towards the end of last year though once he started running with some power. It seemed like one of those situations where he finally started to put it together towards the end and figured out how to play to his strengths.

He's looking like a late round or undrafted prospect but I wouldn't mind taking a flier on him, maybe stash him on the PS for a bit.

When it came time for the draft, the Brady 6 or 7 or what ever it was that went ahead of him even included Bill Walsh choosing Hofstra's Gino Carmozzi over Brady in an earlier round. This reminds me of what a crap shoot and inexact science the NFL draft remains with the QB position. There's still guys like Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott and Derek Carr getting drafted after round 1 to remind me all the fitness tests and time restricted aptitude tests with #2 pencils don't give us the tell on the prospects coming out.

Teams are still drafting the Kyle Bollers, Joey Harringtons, Akili Smiths, Cade McNouns, Patrick Ramseys, Christian Ponders, David Carrs, Jake Lockers, Jay Cutlers, Vince Youngs, Matt Leinarts, Brandon Weedens, Brady Quinns, Jamarcus Russells, Blaine Gabberts, Tim Tebows, JP Losmans, Johnny Manziels, etc...

Sparqs.....Slayics....Freaks.....Velocity.....hand size....vertical leap....etc......???

Honestly....I simply prefer the guys who play lights out and try not to get too wrapped up in sparqs, 40 times, cone drills, etc.....

But.....I get it.....the quest for that magic pill is still there......(tho it doesnt exist)

Oddly enough this method made Paxton Lynch the top choice in 2016
