Dr Z Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Kareem Hunt is North Outstanding Player at Senior Bowl Hunt ran for 118 yards on 15 carries to earn North Outstanding Player Honors, including a 20-yarder and a 43-yarder on back-to-back plays. But the South prevailed, 16-15, in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is the best receiver in the draft from the MAC? Quote "I don't think he's special. He's a good player, but he basically bullied those dudes in his league. Look at how he played when he faced some top guys. In the Wisconsin game, he couldn't get away from No. 8 (CB Sojourn Shelton). ... He struggles against speed and quickness, so he will have to play bully ball in the league. I need to see him work out to get a better feel for his talent and potential." -- AFC college scouting director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Agreed. He made his social media farewell all about others and not himself. That's rare with today's pro athlete's self-centered world view. I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Player Profiles: Ohio OLB Tarell Basham. The Steelers have already met with Tarell, both Toledo prospects, and Cooper Rush. Seems like a possibility of them getting another MAC player to Latrobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Western Michigan Pro Day update Corey Davis (ankle) did not participate, it was expected. Davis underwent surgery in January to address a severe high ankle sprain that involved two ligament tears. There is concern Davis won't work out at all before April's draft, although Davis has insisted he will. Davis has the best game tape in this year's wideout class. The Browns worked out Keion Adams at WMU's pro day. Zach Terrell has a workout set up with the Detroit Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Western Michigan WR Corey Davis visited the Ravens, Titans, Eagles, Browns, and Cardinals. It is usually foolish to put much stock into where a prospect visits, but Davis' list could be important considering he was not able to work out at the Combine or his Pro Day because of ankle surgery. Davis did post a video showing him running routes, and he expects to be at full health in a few weeks. Of the visits, Davis noted the "feel" with the Ravens was "a lot different" than the others. Owners of the No. 16 pick, Baltimore could certainly use a receiver with Davis' skill set. Source: Rotoworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Could another MAC QB make an NFL roster? PFF writer Josh Liskiewitz thinks it's likely. "Former Western Michigan passer Zach Terrell lacks a big-time arm, he led all of FBS in 2016 in both overall adjusted completion percentage (which accounts for drops, throw-aways and attempts made while absorbing hits) and adjusted completion percentage under pressure. His ability to perform well under pressure could help him develop into a solid backup at the NFL level, thus it makes sense for Baltimore to continue to develop his skill-set beyond training camp this fall."

Captain Kangaroo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 i remember a story written about him while he was at Kent where he'd wear heavy chains to his classes in order to strengthen his legs as he walked around campus. His 40 yard scramble on a 4th and 39 versus the Zips is one of the greatest individual efforts I've ever witnessed in 45 years of watching college football. One tough, driven dude.

I think just about everyone on the field missed a chance to tackle him. He was a fantastic scrambler, but I never saw his conversion to NFL receiver happening back then. At the beginning of the game the next year at the Rubber Bowl, when we got our retribution, John Mackey smacked him so hard in the backfield on a play that the ball popped about 10 yards behind him. I felt like that was a little bit of justice for what happened the year before. Edited July 18, 2017 by skip-zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Kareem Hunt got a lot of glowing reviews after his eight-carry, 40-yard performance at Cincinnati. Replacing Spencer Ware after the first offensive play of the game, West stuck around for 17 snaps with the first-team offense to give coach Andy Reid an extended look, and he added 23 yards on three receptions. All in all, not bad for a few drives' worth of work...The 25-yard run Hunt had was great because he broke a couple of tackles and stiff-armed a defender to pick up a little more yardage, but it ultimately accounted for more than half of his total on the night. While he had three gains for five or more yards, he also had three runs for one yard or less, all in the red zone. Hunt reminded us that while he plays at a good game speed, he's not a burner with breakaway skills -- he ran a 4.62 40-yard dash at the combine. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Have yourself a day, Mr. Hunt! I tried to get him in both of my leagues, but I think he got picked up off of sheer average draft position, which was higher than it would have been due to him being named the outright starter from Ware getting injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried and failed, too. Most yards from line of scrimmage, ever, in an NFL RB debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
