Haha yes the best highlight video of all time. The more typical highlight soundtrack just would never do
A 0-cut runner. Lots of straight line speed. No wiggle. Doesn't run through contact. Punishing blocker but not agile enough to run the counters and windbacks that Juice does. Probably a beast on special teams or as the fullback for Derrick Henry.

I hope we find a way to get ourselves some day 2 or early day 3 picks when it's all said and done.
The guy I would really like us to draft there and his draft position must be really tough to gauge due to his situation but Kenny Robinson is a guy I'd love to see on our roster.
Kind of a unique situation with him getting kicked out of WVU for what sounds like cheating(school) and then going into the XFL where he was playing pretty damn well against competition closest resembling the NFL.
His highlights from WVU. I love the kids size and play style. He's got some long ass arms and makes some crazy plays on the ball but still hits like he's trying to take people's heads off.
I apologize I forgot who brought him to my attention a while back but this kid looks like he could be a legit find. Very interesting to see where he goes with everything going on with him.
I remember reading up on him when someone in my family told me his story during an XFL game. He definitely looks like a legit player and I'll be watching to see where he goes.
PFF had him going in the first round to Seattle. I don't know about all that, but I also won't pretend to know what round he'll go in. Talent isn't an issue, but some are saying his background means he won't be a top 100 pick. I think that's a little extreme considering he basically flunked out because he didn't want to go to school. That's dumb, but it's not like he was dealing drugs and catching gun charges.

Yeah it's a very tough read to figure out where he's gonna go because it's a totally unique situation.
His run defense isn't so hot either so I'd be surprised to see him go early but he looks like he'd be a ball hawking FS in our scheme...but of course you also want that guy to wrap up a bit better. I think it's coachable with him...he's clearly not afraid of contact. May just need to lay off on the big hits some and ensure he tackles.
Unless he goes to Seattle of course...cuz if he goes there he can miss all the tackles he wants lol.
31 3/8" arms is pretty devastating for an edge. He's not athletic enough to make up for it.
The ability to get to the quarterback is a skill, not a genetic trait. Same was said about Bosa's alligator arms.
Bosa's arms were 33, not long but far from short.
31+ is pretty short. Carl Lawson would be a better example but he ran good amount faster at a bigger weight and is more stout. But anything is possible.
I'll keep saying it til someone comments. Kirk Merritt.
need to get the character report out for this kid. never saw a good reason why he 'left Oregon and we know he got kicked of the Texas AM squad for decent exposure. Twice to tutors. His lawyer claimed he had jock itch... Hoping he didnt pay for that lawyer.
anyway, he's got alot of talent. Similar to Jeff Thomas situation where someone will take a late round flyer. Getting 3rd or 4th round talent in the 7th.

He's just got a little Charles Haley in him, that's all :p. I'd rather take a flyer on him in the 7th than Reagor at 31
Bronson Reichsteiner, FB Kennesaw State
Fast and strong as s**t, dude is jacked, had 35 reps on the bench and runs a sub 4.5. Can block and you can tell he loves it. Son of a pro wrestler (or so I've read) and so instant hit with Kittle and the guys.
Thats the son of Big Poppa Pump, AKA Scott Steiner, AKA Scott Rechsteiner.
And yeah you're right, Kittle would probably freaking love this dude.
Rechsteiner, who would likely be considered more of a fullback or H-back mold in the NFL, ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash outside and into the breeze. His time was better than that of many of the running backs at the combine, including LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire (4.6) and Utah's Zack Moss (4.65), and it equaled Georgia's D'Andre Swift.
While Rechsteiner may have tried to step away from strength, he certainly didn't lose any of it, bench-pressing 225 pounds 35 times. The mark was six reps better than any running back at the combine, and it would have been third among all athletes who were invited to Indianapolis.
The only players at the combine to better Rechsteiner's number was Fresno State offensive lineman Netane Muti (44) and Indiana offensive lineman Simon Stepaniak (37).
Of all the players who lifted at the combine, only eight reached more than 30 reps. All were either offensive or defensive linemen.
"Yeah, that's right where we expected (my bench-press reps) to be," Rechsteiner said.
During his senior season at Kennesaw State, Rechsteiner ran for 909 yards and seven touchdowns. He also set a single-game rushing mark with 221 yards on only 10 carries against Missouri State, including a program-best 85-yard touchdown run.
To help prepare for his pro day, Rechsteiner said he worked out with many other draft-eligible athletes, including former Oklahoma and Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts and players from Clemson.
Rechsteiner said he has had conversations with the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys, and he had an interview scheduled with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was also seen Wednesday having conversations with scouts from the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins.
