He can be our power back. A guy that gets 6-8 carries a game, if not more. Maybe even the guy that burns clock for you late in games. Never had a problem securing the ball during tough runs.
What are his blocking and protection skills like.
Like I said earlier, he didn’t do it much considering he was NDSU’s main weapon out of the backfield, but he can do it. He blocked on the move fine for the Bison’s other backs when called upon. And his pass blocking looked fine. I’m sure there will need to be work done to adjust to the speed of the NFL, but I don’t think that’ll be a problem.
It looks like Kobe Johnson was the lead horse.
But not excited enough to draft him over some who gives a shit WR in the seventh.
They’re probably paying Luepke more than that shitty 7th rounder .
In the 7th, teams a lot of times will draft a guy they want but don’t think they could sign as a UDFA over a guy they think they have a good shot of signing. Don’t shit yourself, teams talk to these guys through the whole process. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The talent at that point is pretty muddled together anyway, scouting wise.
Hey, uh, yeah. Hello! Can you hear me? Good! Hey, long time listener, first time caller.
Each class of UDFAs there are usually a few "names", then you see the Dennis Houstons make it.
He did lead block some and looked to do fine. NDSU is a power running team, and used multiple looks and backs. Leupke wasn’t called on to lead block a lot, but when he was he looked decent more often than not.
So, Moose Johnston is not the comp.
and was a devastating blocker.
Hold on...what about his in-line blocking? Is he comfortable functioning like an H-Back, but then deploying at the line of scrimmage?
He did. I don't think I ever saw him play in college. But I read that in the Blue Book.
