there were several pancake blocks he had on Harris and Armstrong, not sure if ESPN picked them up..dude is a great blocker and his frame isnt completely filled out yet either IMO...deceptive speed too

..you're right about his hands though, he needs to use them more and stop bringing shit into his body..thats how he incurs most of his drops

he's come a long way since his freshman year (getting busted with weed, arguing with Tressel/Bollman..nearly transferring)...but dude is a behemoth..this was supposed to be his breakout season..hopefully its true

Spot on, and that's why he's returning for his SR year, much to the dismay of other Big 10 teams, and the Hurricanes.

yup, he's a serviceable CB, but he's definitely a notch below the corners we've had the past few years. I hate that he never plays with his face to the ball..there was a pass breakup he had where he could have easily been called for a PI, but the ref didnt call it. Last year Marvin McNutt hoed him repeatedly one on one bc he wouldn't play the ball. Shit is frustrating as hell. He's not physical enough either imo.

Loved seeing Boom Herron juke the shit out of him...
