A big linebacker who can run is rare in today's game. That could push Campbell, described by one scout as "Brian Urlacher," into the first round. Bob McGinn's series continues with the linebackers.
Good quote by the gm at the end. 80% is a HoF level scout. There are so many variables it is next to impossible to hit at a higher clip when it comes to prospecting an athletes mind and body.
Scouts are paid to nitpick and hypothesize every minuscule detail but in the end most of their success is out of their control. Part of the reason Bob’s series is so good is you can feel some of the “oh shit” button coming from the scouts
I’m amazed at the wide variance in opinions from scouts and others. Aren’t they all looking at the same film? Must be biases, consciously and sub-consciously. Or else a whole lot of subterfuge.
Bob, in addition to the breakdown of the players I also enjoy the lead ins and "The Skinny".
It's equal parts endearing and sad to hear a guy evaluate personnel for 30 years and then say it might have been easier to pick animals at a racetrack
None of those guys seem to have the size speed ratio of Quay Walker last year (6-3 1/2, 242 lbs 4.52 40) Of course a guy like Jack Campell could wear the green dot
