Rachaad White (Wide Back)
ASU, 6-2/210
Day 2 - Late
- Senior Bowl invite
- The best receiving back in the draft
Looks like a great fit from the game highlights, hits the cutback, fast with good burst and is a good receiver, he is listed at #105 on PFN:
"From a physical standpoint, he's extremely tough to bring down. This is a result of sheer toughness but also excellent contact balance. It is rare to see White taken down on first contact. When a defender can get substantial contact on him, he displays toughness to stay upright and continue fighting. There were several examples on tape where it took multiple players to bring him to the ground. When he is stopped, White routinely falls forward on contact to ensure no wasted yardage.
White possesses all the tricks you'd expect to find from a top running back from a creativity standpoint. His tape is littered with spin moves, hurdles, and stiff arms in addition to the cuts and jukes mentioned above.
From a mental standpoint, White displays impressive vision. He uses this to find running lanes both at the line of scrimmage and further downfield. He's adept at finding and hitting a hole to snap off big runs. Furthermore, you can actively see him seeking out pass rushers when tasked with protecting the quarterback."
Here is a deebo clone that Eric Crocker was talking about, also a Senior Bowl invite, I'm still in 21' mode and haven't started looking at prospects so haven't watched much, but will be a fun offseason for sure
Pre-Senior Bowl projection Tycen Anderson is an intriguing projection to the next level because he possesses the rare ability to play effectively at any level or point on the field. While he's not quite prepared to perform as a starter, Anderson has the upside to be a starter in the next two to three years at free safety. That projection alone will help Anderson's draft value. In the meantime, Anderson could potentially play some special teams.
This kid is one of my sleepers, his story is amazing and the type of kid I root for to succeed.
Isaiah Chambers, DE, McNeese State (6'5, 251)Chambers initially enrolled at TCU (he never played any games there), but transferred to Houston to take care of his sick aunt who raised him after both of his parents died. When Houston changed over its coaching staff and often had Chambers on the third string even though he was productive whenever he played, he transferred again to McNeese State.
At Houston, he had 7.5 sacks in 11 games in two seasons (2018 and 2019). In 18 games at McNeese over two seasons (2020 and 2021), he has racked up 18 sacks. Unsurprisingly, the McNeese staff has appreciated him.
It'll be interesting to see if Chambers gets college all-star love, such as an invite to the Senior Bowl, and how he performs at the NFL Combine, assuming he's a participant. I think he's a late-round sleeper.

Marcus Jones is a can't miss prospect, imo
i think hes gone in round 2-3 so we would have to use our first pick on him if hes there which isnt a given
but best returner in draft
I'm good with it. I also think he will holdup at cornerback, which may be needed given K'waun Williams has been looking like he's slowing down heading into free agency
I'm absolutely fine with spending a 2 to get a legit returner with potential to help elsewhere at this point. We can't keep asking Deebo to do everything.
Ball skills, speed to cover and also importantly play contain against Russell and murray, not afraid to play the run and punish over the middle, and of course his return abilities.... def worth a 2nd rounder! Fills alot of holes, and can play on offense for some of Kyles creative calls. I think you guys found me one of this seasons draft crushes
