He is a douche to the max.
He deserves some credit.
Most of the top prospects get an agent and pull out.
He might be what I thought Manziel could be.
Except when he throws an int and "tries" to tackle the guy.He is a douche to the max.
But...he is also a competitor.
That’s kinda harsh. The guy has his faults, sure. But this is a thread we have every year. Somebody had to start it.Douche.
Bag.
Fair point. My apologies, Booze.That’s kinda harsh. The guy has his faults, sure. But this is a thread we have every year. Somebody had to start it.
Can I get a run down on him?
Glad to see him playing in this game. I think it's important for a small school guy like that to be able to play with some elite talent. And the rules against JRs are just silly to me.
Like I told Middy in the CFB thread, he's very much like Sean Lee. (even had a season ending injury last year ) Very smart, heady player that is always around the ball. Has been a Bison defensive captain for a couple years. A high volume tackler that has a knack for the big play. Fights off blocks well to get at the ball carrier. Plays pass defense very well.Can I get a run down on him?
Do you want to talk some Josey Jewell? He is Kipers #3 inside LBer. The Outlaw himself.Can I get a run down on him?
I've seen Jewell, I know him pretty well and assume he's pretty similar to DeLuca. I'd be pleased with either in the 3rd/4th area.Do you want to talk some Josey Jewell? He is Kipers #3 inside LBer. The Outlaw himself.
That event has always been entertaining. The schools in this system always put on a good game.I've seen Jewell, I know him pretty well and assume he's pretty similar to DeLuca. I'd be pleased with either in the 3rd/4th area.
I'm going to check out DeLuca tomorrow against JMU.
Yeah I really like Jewell as a long term Sean Lee replacement. Instincts are off the charts with the guy. Just diagnosis plays so quickly.I've seen Jewell, I know him pretty well and assume he's pretty similar to DeLuca. I'd be pleased with either in the 3rd/4th area.

I liked how he looked in 2016. How well did he recover from the injury? It was pretty late in the year from what I recall.Like I told Middy in the CFB thread, he's very much like Sean Lee.

The only real knock against him is that he doesn't have top end speed for the position. But he makes up for that by knowing where to be at all times. Has the skill set to be a three down LBer in the NFL, but I just don't know if he'll have the speed to run with NFL TE's on 3rd down. Maybe.
I freely admit my homer gene is at work wanting him to be drafted by the Cowboys. But this guy is also a very good football player. He was the only FCS LBer that was picked for the Butkus Award Watch List.
This highlight video is from before this past season. Haven't found one made that includes this year yet.
