[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Stephen Harris Draft Profile[/div]
The young Edinburgh born kicker/ punter out of Norte Damme University will surely be on the majority of teams watch lists. Harris who stands at 6'2" and weighs 200 pounds has proven himself in the NCAA with a FG percentage of 90% with misses being from over 45 yards out. Harris has also been very impressive for the point after only missing 2 in his senior year. When it comes to punting this is a weaker area of his game with Harris being lucky to have averaged 40 yards with his longest being 63 yards. Unlike some kickers and punters Harris comes from a rugby union background and isn't afraid to launch himself into a tackle if required something which has had mixed reviews from his coaches with some worried about him injuring himself and others happy to accept Harris' attempts to act like an extra safety.
Harris is a team player and is extremely loyal to any team he plays for and towards his team mates though he has gotten himself the reputation of being the quite man of the locker room he has also gotten known for his pranks and piping up with words of advice and encouragement to rally the troops.

Johnathon Saint has always been a football fan but it wasn’t until he started going to the University of Maryland until he started playing organized football. In such a short span of playing football, Mr. Saint has absolutely shocked the world with his ability to play. A walk-on at UMD, Johnathon Saint decided to ride the bench his first year to better understand the game. Knowing he was behind most in the amount of time playing football, Johnathon saint became a student of the game, studying greats like Lawrence Taylor, Khalil Mack, and Justin Houston. By looking at the year he just had then you could say that was a smart decision. Double-digit sacks and 8 forced fumbles, Johnathon proved he can play with best of them. After putting on the year he had his coach nicknamed him “Waterboy” because of his similar story to Bobby Boucher. An out of nowhere football prodigy, Johnathon Saint is must have for any team who wants to win a championship.
Strengths:
This guy is flat out just strong. He has the ability to bulldoze through the line and get to the quarterback almost every play. While Strength is Johnathon Saint biggest tool, it’s not the only one in his toolbox. He has amazing agility and a quick first-step to beat anyone off of the line. Saint is also very versatile. Like most 3-4 Linebackers, he can be 4-3 Defensive End, but unlike most he can take snaps as a Linebacker in the 4-3 as well.
Weaknesses:
Johnathon Saint has only played football for a couple of years so he is lacking in the I.Q. department. A bit of a hot-head on the field, Johnathon Saint was suspended for two games after an unnecessary hit in the season opener. He could also be seen as childish. He led the NCAA with the most unsportsmanlike conduct penalties because of his celebrations after a big play.

Break Bottles, Tight End out of Miami
Break is a big human, 6'7 yet fast for his size he is a living mismatch. Break has an exceptional ability to make defenders miss, and outruns them after the slightest mistake. He particularly looks up to other tight end products from the the University of Miami, examples being Greg Olsen and Jimmy Graham. Similar to Jimmy Graham he uses his exceptional size and speed to become a mismatch at the tight end position.
Pros:
Break Bottles is a huge human being, yet he could wow you with his speed and catching ability. Offensively you can line him up anywhere. He creates a mismatch with corners and safeties if you put him out wide, and he's too fast for linebackers if you line him up inside. He'll be an option on any play, regardless of coverage. Plays with a chip on his shoulder due to his unfortunate name. Opposing players frequently threaten to "break his bottles" but all that does is fire him up.
Cons:
Blocking is not Break's strength, and while he might be able to stop a blitzing corner of smaller linebacker, a defensive end would break Break on any given play. Lining him up in the backfield is not much of an option unless the intent is to hand him the ball, because he does not have much success blocking for a runner.

Romeo Devitt is not a house hold name. The former third string quarterback for the Washington Huskies played a total of four snaps his senior year, three of which were called QB kneels to end games. Despite this fact, Devitt has decided to enter his name into the NSFL Draft and see if he can turn nothing into something. Many feel that this player will end up seeing the same pro fate as what he experienced in college.
The 6'5 athlete was a member of the Huskies' football and basketball teams, but played minimal minutes in both of those sports. While not having very much in game experience, Devitt was a faithful member of the scout team in practice. Due to his willingness to continue practicing, this led to Devitt playing scout team at multiple positions on a daily basis. With experience at LB, S, WR, RB, and QB in scout team situations, many analysts feel that if Devitt does hear his name called on draft day that it won't be for the position that he is hoping to play for. Regardless, Devitt is a prospect to keep your eyes on as the NSFL looks to set it's roots in the realm of professional football.

Robert Phelps has entered into the Season 1 draft of the NSFL. He comes from Seattle Washington and was a wide receiver for the University of Washington Huskies last season. Phelps prides himself on his catching and possession. He doesn't take well to being knocked off the ball and he has a bit of an anger issue when it does happen. Phelps was not the greatest player coming into last season but he lost a bit of weight and added some speed, which gave his game a different dynamic and he ended up having a great end to the season posting 208 receiving yards, 3 touch downs and one 70 yard throw reception that got his team a touch down. Those stats were mostly from the last 5 games of the season. It's hard to say whether Phelps just had a hot streak and will cool down in the NSFL, but if he is able to continue the pace that he had near the end of last season with the Huskies, he could be a fantastic pickup at the upcoming draft. Phelps is from Seattle and after playing all his college days in Washington, he has never been far from home. You can expect him to take a bit to adjust to the lifestyle of a NSFL player.

Lindarius Shelton may just the most electric player in this year’s draft class. After tallying over 210 tackles across three seasons, 23 of which were for a loss, there is much to be excited about in regards to his play on the field. He brings an explosive attitude and a hard hitting game to his very impressive repertoire. Shelton was a first-team All-SEC Defensive Player in his second and third seasons playing for the LSU Tigers. He stands with a 6’5” frame, 250 lbs. of pure muscle, and his voice is louder than anyone’s on the football field. An exceptional leader while playing Middle Linebacker for the Tigers, he led their defense to new heights, making it the SEC’s top defense in 2016. His teammates have given him much praise over the years, as he has been nothing but a positive impact in the locker room. His coaches had much of the same to say, with LSU’s Head Coach, Ed Orgeron saying this about Shelton: “Lindarius is quite possibly the most polished linebacker we’ve ever had coming out of this system. His size, strength, speed, and ferocious attitude will make him an outstanding player in the NFL”. Shelton being as NFL ready as any team could hope for, and a likely cornerstone for any team’s defense, is willing to make an immediate impact on teams in need of leadership and stability in their linebacker corp.

Alex Hayden
OVERVIEW
Alex’s background isn’t just in football. In high school he also regularly placing in the top 3 as a sprinter. At Texas he had a solid freshman season, collecting 21 tackles, 1 INT, and 3 PBU. In his Sophomore season, he posted similar numbers with 39 tackles, 2 INT, and 6 PBU. While his numbers weren’t anything special, his athleticism and desire to compete on every snap caught the attention of scouts.
STRENGTHS
He has the size and body type you look for in a defensive back. He has smooth hips and shows good speed. He played a variety of different coverages in college, and should be able to transition to any defense at the next level. His athletic ability allows him to adjust to errors in coverage. He is very competitive, will push even harder when put in a bad position. Not afraid of contact, and willing to make any tackle.
WEAKNESSES
While he has played a variety of coverages, he is a master of none. Will need to be coached up on his technique no matter where he goes. Can get overly aggressive at times, especially in press coverage. His footwork is unpolished, and sloppy, but hides it with his athleticism. Slow to react to the ball at times.
DRAFT PROJECTION
Who knows.

Adamle Tomlinson is probably the most overlooked prospect in this year's draft, he went to a lesser school in Buffalo and plays a position that's full of talent. But this shouldn't take away from the fact he is an absolute monster on the field, standing tall at 6'6 and weighing a good 270 but his speed is top notch. Running a 4.63 40 time which isn't the fastest around but still great for a defensive end his size along with his 34 inch arms. He's a physical specimen who looks to continue his college success in the nsfl
Speaking of his college success, Tomlinson only played two years at Buffalo as a starter, entering the draft as a junior where he put up 23 sacks and an impressive 8 forced fumbles. 9 sacks in his sophomore year which jumped to 12 his junior as well as him forcing 5 fumbles. He has a knack for hitting the qb hard, if the chance is there hell definitely lay some wood but he also knows when to just wrap him up. He learned early on in his career when in a game versus Kent state his attempt at a big hit left him missing the flashes rb who then ran 30 yards for the score in a game the bulls narrowly lost. Reflecting on mistakes like those help Tomlinson grow as a player, his willingness to learn is something scouts find unique about Adamle as a player. Though some Scouts find his more laid back demeanor a bad thing
"He doesn't seem like somebody would wants to win. You look at him during a game and he looks chill." One scout commented about Tomlinsons personality. When asked about it Adamle responded "I know people may want me to be that hyped up fierce leader type but that's just not me. I like to let my game do the talking, I won't talk smack and then get put on my ass". Leadership concerns aside Tomlinson looks like a definite 3rd rounder at worst just due to the talent at the position. Any other draft he'd be a first rounder for sure, best fit would most likely be the Yellowknife Wraiths due to their need for defensive players or maybe the yeti who could add him to make a dominant pass rush duo. He's definitely a player to look out for, his ceiling is hall of fame without doubt and floor would be solid consistent starter.

Tim Tebow... He is a well known name, that is for sure. A former Florida star and NFL first round draft pick, he has somehow failed to ever get a fair shot since entering the NFL. Despite having an impressive record in the best football league in the world, he has essentially become a castaway, unable to find a team willing to give him a shot. Because of this, he has forayed into broadcasting and baseball. But neither could satisfy his desire to play football...
So, he is trying his hand in the NSFL. Already getting the NFL treatment, he was left out of the prospect game and is on the radar of few teams. However, this guy is a winner and you cannot argue with that. While he may not be so technically sound, he has one thing no other quarterback has: God. Some even say that Tim Tebow is a prophet, the messiah blessing us all with his presence. Based on the way he wins games with his unorthodox style, it is clear that God is on his side. So draft this guy... God will give you wins.

Timote Shoate - #36 - CB
Timote Shoate is exactly what you look for in a prototypical cornerback. Shoate has good size for a cornerback, standing 6' tall. Shoate also shows the athleticism necessary to shut down top wide receivers from across the league. Shoate is not afraid to play physical and has been known to lay out unsuspecting running backs when playing the flats in zone coverage. Shoate makes excellent reads and almost never gets beat on a play. Shoate recorder 4 tackles and broke up a pass during the All-American Bowl. Timote attended the University of Georgia and many pro scouts say that he was the teams top defensive player. Shoate may have the instincts and athletic ability to make a difference in the return game as well.
Timote is thought to be a good team player. The organization that takes a chance and drafts him could potential land a key leader for their defense. Timote has shown in the past that he thrives in a good team environment and can step up and set the tone for his squad. Very few players in football are true difference makers, elite lockdown cornerbacks like Shoate can take a half of the football field out of the equation and make a huge impact for their teams defense.
Timote awaits draft night and is excited to get his professional career started.
