1 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,559 Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Korey 2 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,760 Evans. Thank you so much for listening to this week's content. It's episode 3 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,519 three hundred and seventy five titled Top ten NFL Comps for twenty twenty three Rookies. 4 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,920 I had a blast constructing this behind the scenes, putting the film starting 5 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,119 throughout most of the offseason, but specifically for these ten players. The comparisons 6 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,719 are identifiable from both a stylistic as well as body frame standpoint, So I'm 7 00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:50,759 excited to deliver these ten comps for you see. If you agree, disagree 8 00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,920 either way, it's a very fun exercise and I think a very enjoyable experience. 9 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,960 Before I get to that, shout out to both Rob and Zeke for 10 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:02,880 joining Patreon this past week.

Top ten 29 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,960 NFL comps for twenty twenty three rookies. Are all these full proof, accurate, 30 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280 guaranteed to pan out, of course, not that is the exact opposite 31 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,759 of prospect evaluation. No prospects have the same linear result from the college football 32 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,280 landscape to the pro level in the NFL. But still this process is good 33 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:35,479 to identify traits, and traits are what are transferable from lower levels competition to 34 00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,400 the big league's aka the NFL. So the first one is CJ. Strout 35 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,080 to Joe Burrow. Strout is six three two fourteen Burrow six four to fifteen, 36 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,319 So right off the bat you see very close in body frame. But 37 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,240 it's not just that. It's the accuracy, the poison, the pocket and 38 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,560 decision making skills that standouts as the most common characteristics between Stroud and Burrow on 39 00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:59,080 tape. Special when it comes to ball placement at all three levels of the 40 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,919 field. So short and immediate and deep. CJ was a terrific fit for 41 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,280 Ohio States over the course of his entire couge career forty four touchdowns to six 42 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,159 interceptions in twenty twenty one, filed up with a forty one to six ratio 43 00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:15,719 in twenty twenty two, but most important in my mind, completing sixty nine 44 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,400 point three percent of his passes in school as a two year starter. Once 45 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,280 he took over for Justin Fields in twenty twenty one Burrow. Sure he has 46 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,400 the egge as a rusher with the set of speed and the ability to evade 47 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:29,879 pocket pressure. Stroud rarely relied on his legs to move the ball, with 48 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:34,560 an a rushing logs of one forty eight one thirty two for negative twenty, 49 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,680 but then forty seven from one o eight last season. Yet he owns the 50 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:43,639 athleticism to become a more dynamic weapon as a pro and offers mobility two escape 51 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,280 pressure when needed. You'll see that time and time again. And he put 52 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,280 all of these tools on full display in Ohio States playoff run against Georgia, 53 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840 perhaps the best we've ever seen out of Stroud and what put him on the 54 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,039 map right next to Bryce Young as potentially quarterback one or quarterback two in the 55 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,039 twenty twenty three class. Now, one possible concern for Stroud, and I 56 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,560 don't think it's being brought up enough, is that his supporting cast elevated his 57 00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:08,879 ceiling at the college level. So you had Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, 58 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Jackson Smithing, Jigba, Marvin Harrison's junior Ameca Egbuca. The list goes on 59 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,000 and on. You don't think about it all that often because you see stroud 60 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,839 stats and think, yes, he's a talented and sure he is. But 61 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,639 at the same time, Stroud is not going to have that level of elite 62 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:28,240 receiver play to throw at. Assuming he goes one oh one to Carolina or 63 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,279 one o two to Houston or even a top four to five pick will estimate 64 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,480 that is one concern that I do have is that Stroud benefited from his supporting 65 00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:41,120 cast. It's not a major red flag, but it is worth bringing up. 66 00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,040 You could say the same about Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Jamark Chase. 67 00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,879 That's why I think they're fairly compared and have similar NFL ceilings. Zach Charbonet 68 00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:51,600 is six foot two fourteen and to me he reminds me of the si speed 69 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,639 profile and physicality of Ryan Matthews, who was six ft two eighteen meeting to 70 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,879 Marco Murray six foot two thirteen. So Matthews and Murray are both older comparisons, 71 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,439 but each egg traits that are in common with Charbonnay, most notably a 72 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,720 slashing rushing style with surprising agility and elusiveness for a power running back. Skill 73 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,360 set and frame don't forget Charbonnay at six foot two fourteen thirty seven inch vertical 74 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,439 ten foot two inch broad jump, and he's dangerous when downhill moving momentum is 75 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:25,040 built up. It's evident with his four point five three forty similar to Matthews 76 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,720 and Murray, Charbonnay brings a three down skill set to the field, which 77 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,480 was on full display at UCLA over the past two years, with rushing outputs 78 00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,959 of two to two eleven thirty seven thirteen for five point six yards per carry 79 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:41,920 in twenty twenty one, and then one nine thirteen fifty nine fourteen for seven 80 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,079 yards per carry in twenty twenty two, with seventy five career receptions on his 81 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,639 resume. You don't see six foot two, fourteen pound running backs do this 82 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,920 at the college level all that frequently. Other similarities include patients with blocking, 83 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,680 good vision, and a yard after contact specialist as a bruiser against defenders, 84 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,319 and in that sense, he even gives off some Austin Eckler vibe. So 85 00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,439 I am a huge Zach Charbonnay fan. If you're ever on Patreon, you're 86 00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:09,959 well aware of my belief in him, and hopefully a Day two pick in 87 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,800 the NFL. All in all, I'm hoping to get plenty of shares of 88 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:16,079 Charbonney this offseason. Taja Spears is five ten to a one, and he 89 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,439 reminds me of the shiftiness of Lashawn McCoy at five tight and the contact balance 90 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:26,079 of someone like Cream Hunt at five ten to sixteen. So sure Hunt has 91 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,560 will say fifteen sixteen pounds on him, but Lashaw McCoy comparison is almost exact 92 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,639 at five for McCoy and five ten to a one for Spears. Now, 93 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,240 Spears is a huming joystick with the football in his hands and one of the 94 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:43,800 best pure playmakers in the entire twenty twenty three class. Whether his game translates 95 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,560 from Tulane to the NFL is up for debates. However, nobody will dispute 96 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:51,000 his stop on a dime ability or yard after contact expertise as a running back 97 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,519 who takes unique angles to slide through the fenders. If you fire up film 98 00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:58,279 on Tajy Spears, you know what I'm talking about. He is very rare, 99 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,959 a unicorn of swords, the way he's able to can tort and move 100 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,519 his body in open space, and when you fire up tape of Spears, 101 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,199 It's easy to liken his shake in bake style in the open field to vintage 102 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,319 or prime with Sean McCoy. That literal ankle breaking jukes, that ability is 103 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,439 second to none in this class. Delivered a two twenty nine fifteen eighty one 104 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,839 nineteen rushing line in twenty twenty two six point nine yards per clip. Talk 105 00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:24,040 about efficients forty eight career receptions forecast featureback upside at the next level, and 106 00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,959 he had thirty five rushes of ten or more yards last season. He's an 107 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,720 explosive play machine. Firmly in the day two mix, I'd be surprised he's 108 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:32,680 live to Day three. Spears has done nothing but improve his draft stock the 109 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,399 entire pre draft process. How about Roshan Johnson six foot two nineteen to AJ 110 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,839 Dillon six ft two forty seven. Yes, Dylan has a bit more weight 111 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,879 to him, and he tested better from an athletic standpoints. Johnson not as 112 00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:48,879 athletic, but their blend of power and tackle breaking ability are similar. Roshan 113 00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:51,959 ran a four point five eight forty, which is a slight disappointment, but 114 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,240 still not bad speed straight line for someone that large. Even so, his 115 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,560 game is centered around build up speed and his actual game speed seems faster with 116 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,879 pads on. Regardless, he wins with physicality and is a very patient rusher. 117 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,319 After playing tooking fiddle to b Sean Robinson at Texas, Johnson is in 118 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,240 a position to become a better pro than college athletes. He went ninety three 119 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,720 five four five last season six yards per clip with fifty six career catches. 120 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,000 He's a depth and pass protection and that will keep him on a field, 121 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,399 which is huge factor wise for any rookie running back. Worth noting that Roshan 122 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,480 is a former high school quarterback, so it remains someone of work in progress 123 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,080 at running back in terms of understanding every scheme, alignment, defensive coverage, 124 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:37,440 following blocking, things of that nature. Like AJ Dillon, Johnson is light 125 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,240 on his feet and a reliable chains mover. I expect him to form an 126 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,080 immediate RBBC in the NFL due to his consistency as a rusher and dependability only 127 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,440 one career fumble at Texas. Roshan Johnson is becoming a very popular name and 128 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:52,360 draft circle, so as ADP and rookie drafts will certainly rise, especially if 129 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,080 he has or earns early to midday to draft capital that reminds me also a 130 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,919 lot of aj Dillon, someone who from Boston College was viewed as a polarizing 131 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,440 or violatile prospect, yet push came to shove. NFL teams and scouts fell 132 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,080 in love with the upside of the talents. Roshan Johnson is in that same 133 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,639 train or line of thoughts. Eric Gray five nine two oh seven offers the 134 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,279 rushing and receiving game upside of someone like twenty Pollard six foot two ten, 135 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,279 so very close in stature. Gray did not run a forty yard dash at 136 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,200 the Combine, but his thirty seven and a half inch vertical stood out among 137 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,799 running backs. It was fourth at the running back position in Indianapolis. He 138 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:33,360 reminds me of Pollard from a plain style perspective, most as versatile chess pieces. 139 00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:39,120 On offense, Gray compiled a two thirteen sixty six eleven rushing log in 140 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,080 twenty twenty two six point four yards per rush and is an excellent receiver with 141 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,159 ninety nine career catches on his resume. Evaded forty four tackles in twenty twenty 142 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,039 two alone, second best in the nation behind only be Jean Robinson. Gray 143 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,519 is one of my favorite sleeper running backs in this year's crop, someone who 144 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:58,360 could eventually become a starter in the NFL makes you a suddenness and changed direction 145 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,080 skills pollard for round pick in twenty nineteen. That's the same range grades being 146 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,320 graded in, as well as the possibility of third round capital in the cards 147 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,960 as an outcome and Eric grade now familiar is a running back out of Oklahoma. 148 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,480 It's time for a quick break. I'll be back with five more NFL 149 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:20,080 comps to break down for the upcoming twenty twenty three rookie class. Let's discuss 150 00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:24,840 Quentin Johnston at six three two oweight. He is a wide range of outcomes 151 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,960 for the NFL. The upside in my mind of Mike Williams at six four 152 00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:33,159 two eighteen meets the downside of Kevin White at six three two fifteen, or 153 00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:35,960 even Lakwan Treadwell at six two two twenty one. There's a reason behind Johnston 154 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,679 being one of this year's most confusing or difficult to assess receiver prospects. He 155 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:46,360 offers ideal wide receiver one size with borderline elite traits, yet comes with uncertainty 156 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,600 as a route runner, unfinished and in the hands department with drops left and 157 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,879 rights. He's also a consistent and contested catch situations, which is normally a 158 00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,559 plus or a pro for receiver of his size. Instead, Quentin wins with 159 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,120 separation, a large at radius, and big playability as a catch and run 160 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,159 threat. He had twenty four Smith tackles after the catch in twenty twenty two, 161 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,519 good for fifth in the nation in terms of body positioning and verticality. 162 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,320 Mike Williams is the simplest comp to make for Johnston. The reality is is 163 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,039 he's being graded at being Quentin Johnston all over the place by scouts, NFL 164 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,279 franchises, mock draft experts, which gives him bus potential in the range of 165 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,600 someone like Kevin White or Laquon Treadwell, who or also bets on being size 166 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,720 speed freaks as relatively unfinished or raw products out of the college scene. I 167 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,399 can't wait to see where Johnston ends up being drafted, since there's no predraft 168 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,440 consensus on his value or pro outlook, and it will omit that I'm not 169 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:45,399 as high in my predraft rankings on Johnston among wide receivers or as peers consolidated 170 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,080 at other positions. Draft capital will be huge for him, but there's clear 171 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,399 boom or bus potential. Jordan Addison is five eleven one seventy three, and 172 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,840 I compare him through Christian Kirk at five eleven, two hundred and one pounds. 173 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:00,840 Addison is an exceptional route runner, classic case of his cow production and 174 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,840 game film being superior to athletic test team, which was subparer to say the 175 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:09,159 least rare situation where he excelled in two major college football programs with Pittsburgh and 176 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,440 USC. Twenty twenty one Pittsburgh a one hundred fifteen ninety three seventeen line ridiculous 177 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,039 numbers there twenty twenty two at USC fifty nine eight seventy five eight took a 178 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,759 step back despite receiving passes from prize prospect to Kayleb Williams. Addison reminds me 179 00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:26,759 of Christian Kirk in a few areas release off the line of scrimmage, being 180 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,159 smooth as butter with fundamentals footwork, and offering versatility to line up inside or 181 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,600 outside. Another comparison I've seen routinely is keenan Allen, which I see the 182 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,000 parallel in terms of route running and finesse, but the size difference is way 183 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,039 too big to label it a apples and apples comparison. Kirk makes a lot 184 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,399 more sense to me breaking down game film doesn't have elites beat that being Addison 185 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,039 four point four nine forty disappointing for sure, but he wins with separation, 186 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,279 which is arguably more important to have wide receivers and burst out of breaks is 187 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,720 crucial to beating man or zone coverage. Flipside. A lack of strength based 188 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,480 on that five eleven one seventy reframe for a press coverage is a red flag 189 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,279 and Addison skill set that goes back to that smaller body frame, the fact 190 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,080 that he doesn't have the manpower to overcome larger cornerbacks or safeties, even linebackers 191 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,360 cross the middle of the field. I don't think that Jordan Addison profiles as 192 00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:16,080 an NFL wide receiver one, but he could be a legitimate wide receiver two. 193 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,960 I'm a Christian Kirker, even someone like Tyler Lockett. Those are fair 194 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,879 comparisons. But expecting Addison to become the centerpiece of an NFL passing attack with 195 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,200 a five eleven one seven frame isn't realistic? Is it possible? Of course, 196 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,960 anything's possible, But at the same time, He doesn't win with strength. 197 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,840 It is more of an approach of possession traits fundamentally sound, quick release 198 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080 of the line of scrimmage, terrific route running, good footwork, timing with 199 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,840 his quarterbacks, things like that. At Perry six three nine eight compare him 200 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,000 to George Pickens six three one ninety five. Perry had a four point four 201 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,759 seven forty, which is an enticing size speed combination, and went eighty one 202 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,080 ten ninety six eleven four weight forest in twenty twenty two. Perry tracks the 203 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,919 ball well in the air and is able to make downfield adjustments with ease. 204 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,919 There's some boom bust to his game due to inconsistent hands at the college level, 205 00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:09,679 but a large catch radius and physical approach at wide receiver provides enough intrigue 206 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,519 for him to become a starter in the NFL have that level of upside Pickens. 207 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,200 We can't forget sick a round pick in twenty twenty two, so Perry 208 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,240 isn't necessarily expected to be drafted that high. Yet brings the same measurables and 209 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:24,279 athletic ability to the field, so that comparison isn't all that lofty considering Pickens 210 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,440 hasn't solidified himself as a legitimate starter at the pro level yet, but the 211 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:33,000 size is so close again Perry six eight Picking six three ninety five, and 212 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,919 both of their athleticism are off the charts given the height weight combination. Jonathan 213 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960 Ingo six two two twenty two. Yes, it's lofty, but dk Metcalf 214 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,879 six three two twenty eight massive catch radius and glofer hands When it comes to 215 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,279 Mingo, his highlight reels are full of one hand in grabs and acrobatic receptions 216 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,799 with amazing body control and body positioning. He's a route technician with some of 217 00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,399 the best natural ball skills among any receivers in twenty twenty three rookies. Of 218 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 course, he can be used in the slot or out wide, which makes 219 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,440 him a defensive mismatch. If I had to guess, NFL teams are going 220 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,759 to view Mingo as a big slot receiver to maximize his physical toughness and crisp 221 00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:15,159 route running. He posted a fifty one eight sixty one five log last year, 222 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,320 averaging sixteen point nine yards per catch that was at oh miss dk Metcalf. 223 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,679 Sure, it is a stretch for Mingo to ever reached that potential, 224 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:26,000 but I can't help but compare the two since I see so much in common, 225 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:31,799 even small nuances such as stiff arms after crossing routes to body control and 226 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:35,799 tight window coverage. Metcalf is a superstar now, but we can't forget he 227 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000 was a very polarizing prospect back in twenty nineteen, slid at the second round 228 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,840 even though his measurables and athletic ability were at the charts. Mingo is someone 229 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,919 that was ignored for most of the pre draft process, but then suddenly rose 230 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,039 a bit and perceived value in stock after the combine at six two two twenty. 231 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:54,000 It's hard to find a receiver that can do the things that Mingo's capable 232 00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,120 of, especially when you look at his athletic ability as a factor into that 233 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,120 equation as well. And then, last, but not least, Michael Mayer 234 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,919 six four two forty nine to Mark Andrews six five two fifty six. Mayor 235 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,200 spent three seasons with Notre Dame, amounted to a lead output of forty two 236 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,440 four fifty into seventy one eight forty and seven and sixty seven eight O nine 237 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,960 and nine. That is unheard of production for a tight end at the college 238 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:21,000 level. Mayor is a pro ready tight end who is able and willing to 239 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,240 block inline or lineup in the slot out wide as a dynamic weapon pass catchers. 240 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,159 That's how familiar it should for those who are familiar with how Andrews is 241 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,440 utilized with Baltimore. Mayor and Andrews should the same body control positioning at the 242 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,759 catch points along with the set of speed. Mayor four point seven and forty 243 00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,559 getting knocked for that yet Andrews. If you think Andrews has decent speed, 244 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,080 he ran at four point six seven forty the combine that's basically the same straight 245 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,480 line speed. Mayor should become a Day one starter and post a high snap 246 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,039 rate. Thinks was blocking prowess, which keeps him on the field. That's 247 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,480 what we need for any tight end, rookie or veteran alike. There's a 248 00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:55,120 ton of buzz being made about Dalton King, k Luke Musgrave, Dona Washington, 249 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,759 Sam Laporta, all deservedly so in my mind, though Michael Mayor is 250 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400 the best tight end in this year class. It's close. There's arguments be 251 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,400 made for the other names already brought up, but Mayor's a complete product and 252 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:11,680 excelled in a pro style offense, but notre dame for three straight seasons of 253 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,359 dominant college outputs that will do it. Hope you'll enjoyed my top ten NFL 254 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,599 comps for twenty twenty three rookies. I'll give you a quick recap. It's 255 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,920 a ton of information that we already dissected and analyzed. CJ. Strout to 256 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,039 Joe Burrow, Zach Charbonnet. It's the size, speed, profile, physicality 257 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,200 of Ryan Matthews meets to Marco Murray, TAJ Spears, the shiftiness of a 258 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,359 Shan McCoy and contact balance of Cream Hunt Roshan Johnson to AJ Dillon, Eric 259 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,559 Gray, the rushing and passing game upside of Tony Pollard Quentin Johnston, the 260 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,440 ceiling of Mike Williams, but the floor or bus potential of Kevin White meets 261 00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:49,680 Laclon Treadwell, Jordan Addison to Christian Kirk or even someone like Tyler Lockett's at 262 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,759 Perry to George Pickens, Jonathan Mingo, DK metcalf and Michael Mayer to Mark 263 00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:59,880 Andrews.
