(S1) - PT #1 - Draft Profile

[dave]

Omar Wright Was born in Newark, New Jersey. In high school, Wright played football in the fall and ran track in the spring. Although Wright was talented at football, he excelled on the track. Forgoing numerous track scholarships Wright chose to pursue football and went with one of the few schools that offered him scholarship money for football, Rutgers University in his home state of New Jersey. Wright began his college career with Rutgers at the Free Safety position, but was moved to the backup RB spot early in his freshman year. As a backup he received limited touches and was wholly unremarkable. Five games into the season the starting RB was unable to play with pulled hamstring and Wright was named the starter. Wright's first start produced only 30 yards and a fumble. Fortunately for Wright, the lack of depth at RB gave him the next start, and he put on an offensive clinic with 153 yards and two TDs. Standing at an average 5'11" and a few pounds underweight at just over 200lbs, Wright relies on agility and speed to make his plays. Making larger and slower defenders miss tackles and end up with a helmet full of turf as they futilely grab for his ankles is Wright's MO. Wright is entering this season's draft with some of the highest agility out of all the RB prospects in what is a draft deep in RB talent. While he is not as fast as a prototypical "speedy" RB, he makes up for it with his uncanny ability to avoid tackles. This is not to say that Wright is slow by any means, he is still extremely fast and if he breaks away from the defense, they will have a hard time catching him.

Pros:
High speed, very high agility, good field vision

Cons:
Struggles somewhat running north south, lacks significant strength, durability might be an issue

Grade: A-

[Vikain]

Vikian Marmeladov born in Moscow Russia. Coming over to the United States he was going to pursue his talents in hockey. As high school was ending his interest in American Football grew. When he came to UCF he heard about the walk on tryouts and decided to try it out. His already developed foot technique from skating, and hip movement made him stand out. His persistence to always be moving and his reading off plays coaches quickly slotted him on the defensive side of the game.

Struggling in his first year to adjust to this type of game style, the coaches did not give up and saw that the raw talent he had could shape into a very nice corner piece on defense. Not starting much in his freshman year he took a starting role in his sophomore year. He would record 40 combined tackles and 2 pass deflections.

Only in his Senior year did he make a huge jump in his play, the understanding, play recognition, reaction, and confidence were finally there for Marmeladov. Scouts noticed how he disrupts plays on every level of the game for the opposition, his reaction and read of plays is one of best in this draft class. And he does not shy away from the physical aspect of the game.

He would tally up 95 combined tackles, 4 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles and 7 pass deflections. He has been compared to likes of Minnesota Vikings Safety Harrison Smith.

He would run a 4.5 in his pro day and catching attention of some of the scouts.

Easy Bishop (Cornerback) Northern Illinois University
6'3" 183 LBS

Birth name Ezekiel. There are a lot of different stories on how the nickname "Easy" was given. His teammates will tell you it's his easy going personality in the locker room. His coaches will tell you it's due to how he makes huge plays on the field look routine. We asked Easy himself about the name. He replied: "With unrelenting effort and dedication, the highest goals become easy to accomplish. My nickname is an every day reminder to myself and my teammates"

Easy grew up in inner-city Chicago and always dreamed of playing basketball for Duke. He was naturally very gifted in school and among the top of his high school class. On the basketball court he excelled at rebounding and steals, however he was not a prolific scorer and lacked the explosive athleticism to be considered a top recruit.

College
Despite receiving a number of basketball scholarships from mid-tier schools, Easy instead decided to accept an academic scholarship at Duke and attempt to walk-on to his favorite college basketball team.

He successfully walked onto the team where he spent his freshman and sophomore years. In practice he showed his clear talent on blocks, rebounds, and steals. He also showed great vision on passes to enable how teammates. However, at only 6'3" he needed to play guard, and clearly did not possess the top end athleticism and suddenness (nor natural jump shot) to play at an elite college level. His freshman year he averages just 2.8 min/game. While this improves to 4.4 min/game as a sophomore, it was clear that his dreams of a future playing basketball were at an end. Coach K wished him well, and told the media "if Easy was 6" taller with his skill set, he would have been a top 5 NBA draft pick. That kid will do great things in his future."

Down, but not defeated, during his time at Duke he found a new love, the sport of football. Easy decided to start new, and was able to muster a football scholarship from the NIU huskies as a transfer, due to his natural jumping and athleticism. Figuring his height at football could be a huge asset, rather than the liability it was on the basketball court.

In his one season at NIU before declaring for the NSFL draft as a junior, he had 9 interceptions and 15 passes deflected, tiring for 4th and 7th respectively in Mac conference history.


Strengths: Extremely intelligent. Great vision on the field, and is able to inspire teammates towards excellence. Fantastic jumping ability, and is a natural pass catcher. Dominant production.

Weaknesses: Only 1 year of football experience and it wasn't against elite completion. While he is a good athlete for his size, he does not have the elite athletic traits that teams covet at the position.


Conclusion: While the stereotype is for basketball players to become NSFL TE's and dominate, perhaps Easy will inspire a new trend for Cornerback. For 1 year of playing CB in the MAC, Easy did everything you could dream of on the field. While there are questions about competition, it is clear he is a premier playmaker in the draft. He should find himself as a high draft pick and high impact rookie on and off the field.

When it comes to the Tight End Prospect named Ricky Maddox, he lives by a code that includes, grind, eat, meet and beat expectations. He's been that way for as long as he can remember. His coaches told him that his current build was better fit for a TE. He responds by ending his HS Career with arguably the best HS career for ANYONE at his position in the state of Georgia. Long story short, he broke records for Valdosta High, including helping the team earn two more state championships to its already prestigious athletic team history. The naysayers said that he hasn't went through the true defensive competition to give him the TOP High School TE prospect as the 2012 season wrapped up.

Luckily for Maddox, his naysayers did NOT include the college scouts that attended ALL of his games.

He was recruited by a plethora of big named schools, which included a list of Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Alabama, among others. With a big list of teams waiting to add him to their respective teams, Ricky Maddox had one college on his mind since he first wanted to play the game of football. When he got that call by the head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Mark Richt, every other team IMMEDIATELY lost the recruiting battle for Maddox.

After his inevitable Redshirt season, learning the system, getting to know the staff, and fully getting acclimated to the college lifestyle, Ricky didn't look back. Crushing records left and right, placing himself in a majority of top 10 All-Time Receiving leaderboards in Georgia history, doing everything in his power to make a mark each and every game, practice, walkthrough, etc.

After officially announcing that he will declare for the NSFL Draft, he spent tireless hours training and perfecting his craft, keeping his body in tip top shape to make his case so he can prove to everyone that whichever lucky team that drafts him will get nothing short of a future Hall of Famer.

Strengths:

Complete Jack of all Trades type of Tight End.
Willing Blocker, not afraid to do the dirty work.
Catches with the hands and great security of the ball at the point of contact.
Proved to be a consistent Red Zone threat.
Went against some of the best defenders from what considered to be the toughest conference in College Football.
Has the size to force mismatches on smaller defenders.
Willing listener, takes criticism very well, and primed to be a leader on and off of the field.
Play with heart and soul, proven that arm tackles will not bring him down.
Knowledge of the position is superior.
No major injuries to report, nothing detrimental to Maddox's health. Showed ability to play through injuries

Weaknesses:

Route running can use polishing.
Athletic ability not where it has to be
May have troubles separating from faster defenders
Could use more work in the gym, working on his physical attributes is key.
Endurance can always be better, listed as "adequate" or "good enough" as per Ricky Maddox himself.
Can be hard headed and a person that "has too many cups of his own Kool-Aid" at times, even though Ricky says that "it's some of the reasons that makes me great!"
Although he's a willing blocker, he can always improve to be a more effective blocker. Has times where his reads are off the mark in pass protection.

NFL Comparison: Antonio Gates

Overview: Ricky Maddox is a game changer in his own right, he's proved his doubters wrong in all aspects of football and he's ready to do the same for when he enters the NSFL. Whoever drafts Ricky Maddox has a Day one starter at the Tight End position. His massive upside gives him the ability to control his matchup in a multitude of ways and his arrow is clearly pointing upward. Ricky says that he has the body of work to be in the Hall of Fame and I am going to have to agree with him. My estimation of his "floor" is a solid backup TE that can come in for either Blocking and/or Receiving situations.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Everest Teagarden[/div]

In an absolutely loaded inaugural draft class, it’s difficult to sift the pretenders away from the contenders. With so many players sitting in the same boat and very little time having passed to determine whose the real deal or not, many teams find themselves scrambling to get in their pre draft research. One name that bears watching is that of young defensive end Everest Teagarden. While his name is only starting to make the rounds recently, he may be the one player you don’t want to pass over come draft day.

Pros

Teagarden has prototypical size and athleticism for someone at his position. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 280lbs, Teagarden looks like an absolute monster running around the field on gameday. His athleticism reminds you of a Von Miller or JJ Watt type of athlete. He’s one of those players that was just blessed at birth with the type of talent that others can only dream of. His versatility will likely come in handy for some coach out there come next season. While Teagarden is primarily a down lineman coming of the edge, he also has the speed and ability to drop back into the OLB role and play coverage.

Cons

Teagarden is often seen as an emotional player that can sometimes let his emotions get the best of him. One major knock against him has been his knack for getting flagged during high intensity moments during the game. It was noted during Teagardens senior year at TCU, that opposing team would attempt to bait the monster pass rusher into committing penalties, knowing that he lacked the discipline to back down when needed. While Teagardens commitment to football can’t be questioned, some wonder about his off the field issues that continue to rise now and again. The most notable incident appeared in Teagardens junior season when he was arrested for assaulting another TCU student at a college party. While charges where never filed, it’s left many questioning whether or not Teagarden could be a problem child down the road.

Projected draft spot- Teagarden is a first round talent who could slip to the 2nd or 3rd round do to his off the field issues and hot head.

oops wrong thread idk how to delete this

[DollarAndADream]

Take a seat, because I am about to talk about one of the best quality players in the whole draft. Scrub Kyubee is his name, and he is basically the opposite of what his name might suggest.

Scrub Kyubee models himself after the God himself, Tom Brady. He is one of the greatest in his throwing accuracy, being able to get the ball to his receivers as good as any. You know you can count on this motherfucker right here, because he comes from a player agency that brought you star players to the VHL, SHL, GOMHL, and others.

Not only does Scrub bring talent to the table, but he is itching to get out there on the field. What some may remember, is that he was once a highly coveted prospect for the USFL. That league disbanded before it even truly got started, but it really ticked Kyubee off, and he's ready to make a push for the NSFL. He showed his work ethic in that league, and is looking to show the same in this league to try and earn a spot on a contending roster.

Scrub Kyubee's Tom Brady-esque play will wow you. I mean, if it doesn't wow you, then I guess I cannot blame you since this is not real life. That is the thing though, he plays out of this world. He will play so well that it will have you thinking it's not real life, even though it's just a sim and actually isn't.

Scrub Kyubee does not care how many other QB's there are out there. He is looking to come out of that pack and be numero uno. Watch out for him in the future. Unless of course he turns into a real scrub QB, then we have problems.

[Perkules]

Jameis Christ hasn't been talked much about because he will for go the draft. He was named the GM of the San Jose SaberCats before the season was announced. He shortly after recruited his good friend Ja Brill to be Co Gm. Give them early talent on both sides of the ball.,

Pros -

Intelligence - While not being most gifted public speaker, and some having slip ups, and bone head moves. He's a student of the game, and his intelligence holds when he has his the pigskin in his hand.

Pedigree - He was bred to be a professional athlete, his height in weight combination is perfect for a starting QB. Why he's not the fastest QB, he's very elusive and teams will have issues bringing him down. Christ knows this and this is what helps and drives him to make the players around him better. Other teams hate players like Christ as his enthusiasm can feel fake, but if you've been in a LR with him you learn fast.

Cons -

Misunderstood - Due to his infectious personality, some people are turned off by Jameis. Others can't stand that he has won at every level of his career.
