Myles Garrett Has Flaws And That's Ok

... with effort issues. And there are plays where he looks clueless. I get that he was nursing an injury, but well over a month after, he wasn’t playing with any kind of fire. I came away thinking after the Ole Miss that “he’s kind of a sweet potato.” Heck, even in his first game after he was stalled at first he’d be good with it. No thank you. Just how good is Garrett. There are more questions to be answered. When asked to redirected, there are extra steps that he takes and it limits him from making plays. Garrett’s three-cone and short shuttle drills will be interesting after seeing this. We know how explosive he is, but will changing directions be an issue? Because of that, his play strength, lack of pass rush moves and dog in him, I get the feeling he’ll let us down based on our expectations. Garrett is a very talented player that will improve against the run and become possibly great in that regard. I worry about him more as a pass rusher. I don’t think he’s a can’t miss prospect. I don’t think he’s the best player in the ...

Magnificent Myles Garrett And The Next-gen Defenders

... in the league. Other great defenders, however, entered Sunday's workouts facing that very question. Michigan safety/linebacker/returner/Wildcat quarterback Jabrill Peppers is the most famous of the bunch, but other top prospects don't fit the prototype of any traditional NFL defensive position. Luckily, those traditional positions are out of date, and several defenders who stood out Sunday are perfect for the new roles required by the NFL's new matchup-heavy, nickel- and dime-oriented schemes. Let's get to know some of these next-gen defenders. After we take a moment to gape at the magnificent Myles Garrett, that is. Garrett Ahead of the Pack. 2 of 8. Joe Robbins/Getty Images. With the first pick in the 2017 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns will either select Texas A&M edge-rusher Myles Garrett or make the biggest mistake in franchise history (which would really be saying something). Garrett tore the combine in half like an old phonebook this weekend. The 272-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.64 seconds. He benched 33 reps, second among defensive linemen to Auburn's Carl Lawson. He crushed the vertical and broad jumps and breezed through position drills. He ...

Draft Buzz From The Nfl Combine On Myles Garrett, Derek Barnett, Ryan Anderson, Garett Bolles

... curious person is one of the few concerns that scouts are wrestling with. Bill Parcells has a great quote: "I want beavers. What do beavers do other than chop down trees? Nothing. They just chops trees. I want guys who just thinks football.". In light of that, the question for Garrett is, does he just think football? Is he too interested in other endeavors? It sounds nitpicky and it's a real concern but it's certainly no deal-breaker. One scout was quick to compare Garrett to former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson in terms of personality. Johnson turned out just fine. But the intelligence conundrum is more than just a question of single-minded focus, it also can play a role in the on-field instincts. One executive told me that some highly intelligent players are too analytical in the way they play the game. They overthink instead of just letting instincts take over. Typically the tape tells that story but it can explain why a high Wonderlic score doesn't always equate to a low rate of mistakes when bullets ...

During linebacker drills at Lucas Oil Stadium, Belichick left his post to visit with NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock and ended up getting on a headset to join the live broadcast. With a direct line to Patriots Hall of Famer Willie Mc Ginest down on the field, it made for some pretty entertaining television. "Willie, how you doing, man? I'm up here in the press box where I'm usually not," Belichick said. "I haven't been in a press box since I was in New England in '96 when I coached the secondary.". The two ...

Garrett Confident, Wrs And Tes Fly And More Day 4 Takeaways

... is ready to show why he’s 2017’s top prospect. USATSI. Garrett said he planned to meet with the Browns later Saturday and will apologize for the social media clip that had him begging for the Dallas Cowboys to trade up with Cleveland at the top spot. Regardless if he goes first or not, Garrett understands it is more about what he does when he reaches the top level. “Shows I’m top dog at least at the beginning,” Garrett answered when asked what it would mean if he is drafted first overall. “Once I’m in the NFL, I can’t just hang my hat on that, I have to keep rising.”.

That vert measurement was bested only by Garrett, and the three-cone number is something you’d expect to see from a wide receiver or defensive back. (It was also the eighth-best time among defensive linemen since 2006.) Rivers, at 6-foot-3, 248 pounds, wasn’t far behind in any category, running a 4.61 40 with a 35-inch vertical, a 10-foot-3 broad jump, a 6.94-second three-cone, and a 4.4-second short shuttle. After seeing those numbers, plenty of teams are gonna be watching tape of the Penguins and Wildcats this week. 5. Remember: It doesn’t matter who these prospects are meeting with. Of course, it’s easy to get excited about your favorite player ...
