And I think the combination of him and Miles Garrett, Miles Garrett's another one, even though he's super strong and he's a lot bigger, has shockingly good bend around the corner. And I think that that will help him. And I think there are you talk to coaches and I talk to the guys at Ohio State and
And they faced maybe six or seven guys who are D linemen, who will be probably first round picks are in that category. Obviously Abdul Carter, they faced two guys, an inside and an outside guy at Oregon. They faced Pierce from Tennessee, who is a four, four, seven guy lit it up at the combine. They faced two guys, more inside guys at Michigan, but also first round picks.
I mean, there was a lot of guys they saw, uh, And in addition to the, the two guys they have every day and JTT and Jack Sawyer, who will probably be top 60 picks. I mean, there was a, you know, they had an interesting range to see Abdul Carter is a Twitch is different.
Again, even, you know, as fast as Pierce's Pierce is way more of one dimensional and people saw Abdul Carter as he's willing to do a lot more things like that. And I also think it did help. You talk to coaches, that D-line they had on third down at Penn State, and two of those guys are still coming back, Zane Durant and Denny Dennis Sutton.
That was a scary group he was part of in terms of just elite pass rushers.
I don't. Now, full disclosure, I had to turn this in over the weekend. The Giants ended up taking Jameis. The one hesitation I had even going in was you talk to coaches and the Giants system is not very easy to pick up for young quarterbacks. And I think that, especially with some pressure on Brian Dayball, it makes sense that you would take Jameis and ride with Jameis.
I think if you're Shador or Cam Ward, I think you're like, I don't know if I want to go there. Yeah, you have Malik neighbors, but the system is a challenge. I think the tricky part of this, in full disclosure, when I do this interview,
this exercise it's really to show uh nfl draft fans hey you're hearing a lot from from the draft analysts and they do a really good job but here's a completely different perspective it's from the guys who probably know them the best because they study them and then they game plan for them and they saw what they were you know knew what they were trying to do to them
I don't, you know, Shador is really polarized. He takes a lot of bad sacks. I mean, a lot. Now, he played behind a terrible offensive line that got a little better last year, but it was still pretty bad. Now, he did have high-level receivers, not just Travis Hunter. Jimmy Horn Jr. was just a really explosive receiver. And Wester's a really good receiver.
They had four guys who were, you know, it wasn't Ohio State's receiving core, but it was not far from it. And it was better than almost everybody else had. I think the interesting part about him is he's really smart. He's accurate on the run. He will do some of the same stuff that we would see from Caleb. Now, I don't think he's as athletic as Caleb.
Caleb's a better athlete, but would extend plays and buy time and do all this stuff. You know, Caleb would get hawked down in the NFL last year. That's definitely happened if Shador is going to try it, you know? So I think one of the more interesting comments I got was from a coach who said, you know, he is super cocky in terms of that. He thinks he's better than everybody else.
And to some extent that helps him, but it also could burn him where he's going to have to really adjust because he's going to take a lot of bad sacks and it's going to get him in a lot of trouble.
Well, it's a hard translation. I mean, there's two things where I think stand out. One, he is really tough because you see him keep battling. And I do think he's very smart. And you could kind of see that. But some of the other things that you're talking about, and again, his offensive coordinator this past year came from the NFL. Shermer had, you know, lifetime NFL guy.
I think they also had no run game. It's really a weird evaluation on both quarterbacks, to be honest, because what you would see a lot, and you talk to coaches who faced a lot of Cam Ward, and they would say it feels like a lot of backyard football. And a lot of the stuff was, When you had a quarterback... Now, Cam Ward had a good offensive line. Shador did not.
And I think so much of... What I definitely give Shador a lot of credit for is they were horrible before he got there. He got there with Travis and he got there with his dad. And they worked together really well. I would give him a lot of credit for... for, for that piece of it. Cause I don't think that's significant.
They went from one and 11 getting blown out in almost every game before they got there to being competitive. And then in year two, they finished in the top 25. I just think there's going to be a lot of growing pains of the transition for some of the things you're talking about. I think he can do it.
You talk to coaches who, you know, it's not like he has, um, Justin Herbert or Josh Allen's arm, but, and I don't think he even has cam words on, but, He has a good enough arm and he can make... He's really accurate on the run. There's a lot of stuff in there that I think will translate well. It's just... I think the growing process of what he came out of to this, I think is more of a projection.
Whereas some of the stuff you see with cam ward in terms of just the ball comes out fast. And I think some of this stuff he can do where it does fit into that category, like middle infielder things that you hear a lot of with quarterbacks in the last decade, which I feel like really kind of started a lot from Aaron Rogers and some other guys. I think there's cam.
You can see it at least and say, okay, the college, the NFL game is, And it's been this like this for a little while, but has become more like the college game. And I think that that stuff translates, whereas I'm not it's not to me as as apparent with with Shador. I do think Shador could be an NFL starter. I just think there's a lot of stuff that you kind of like hold your breath on with him.
Yeah, look, Williams is bigger. He's the more prototype size. He's 6'5", 260 plus, and he'll probably get bigger. Jalen Walker's under 6'2". One of the comparisons I got was Will Anderson. Will Anderson is a great player at Alabama. He's been a big-time addition for the Texans. He's not quite as long as Will Anderson. Will Anderson is bigger than him.
