But when you talk to coaches, especially like the Texas coaches, they saw him twice. and they have good offensive linemen. They have two guys, one guy, probably one guy is, I think will definitely be a first round pick. The other one probably maybe shouldn't have come out this year, but has first round ability. And they abused those guys.
Like, I mean, and those guys saw other, like, like the Ohio state guys, they saw some first round, uh, players. General Walker, probably the best player they saw all season. I mean, he was a off the ball linebacker who could be really, really good at that. And he can be really, really dangerous as an edge rusher. The Georgia people I know rave about him.
I think he is a, he's a, one of the safest picks in the draft. And I, I don't know if he's the best player in the draft, but I think he really is in the discussion. You could make a case that he was the most impressive player, maybe not named Travis Hunter in college football last year. And I would include, you know, Jenty had an amazing year, but one guy was doing it in the sec every week.
And the other guy was doing it, you know, in the mountain West. I just think it's like, it's almost a different kind of football. And in the biggest games, Jalen Walker went off. I mean, you look what he did against Texas and, And they just could not handle him at all. And I think, I do think he's going to be a problem for people.
And again, the intangibles stuff only makes me like him that much more.
People really love, you know, I feel like he improved a lot last year from where he was. Just really instinctive, makes a lot of plays. Both guys, I think, see the game at a higher level than a lot of defensive backs. You know, talking to people who've coached Will Johnson, they think he prepares like a quarterback, which is about as high a compliment as you can get for a cornerback.
There are some concerns about his speed. He's a bigger cornerback. He's legit 6'2". I know he was 194 or 195 at the Combine. The coaches who had him say he plays a 205. He got down. I think the questions about his speed, they say he'll probably run somewhere between 445 and 448. He was inconsistent. Now he played last year. He had turf toe caused him to miss a lot of the season.
He's the guy who will probably get a bunch of pick sixes because he sees the game quick. He triggers fast and he's looking for it. I mean, I feel like he's more of the zone corner who can do a lot of damage and make, make a lot of big plays. Baron. I think there's more versatility to him. you know, he could, he could be your nickelback.
He could, he could do a lot of things that he's not super big. Um, he's smaller, but in terms of, I think one guy probably going into the start of the 2024 season was, was higher regarded. And that was Will Johnson. I think coming out of last year in part, because of how much better Baron looked over the year, I think his stock
boost it up but i think it's honestly it's going to be a what do you what do you what flavor of ice cream do you like i think both guys are going to be really good nfl nfl players i think will johnson in the right system could be a pro bowl guy but i do think that barrett is a little more versatile you have dallas taking hampton the running back out of north carolina 12th um how many people do you think you've talked to in college that actually think hampton will be the better pro than genti
There's a little of that. I mean, I would say this. There's a guy you and I both know who I think probably might lean that way, too. I don't want to say any more than that. But Hampton, one of the coaches I talked to who had been in the ACC for a decade said, he's one of the three best running backs I saw in the last decade. And he put...
Dalvin cook and, um, ATN from Clemson, who's now with the Jaguars in there. I mean, he is a punishing big back who is faster than you think. I mean, he's linebacker size. And I think because of, it was such a weird year for North Carolina, you know, they give up 70 in a game to like, you know, somebody they shouldn't have. And Mack Brown, is he in the, is he in or out?
It's the year of post Drake may, um, And I think he got kind of slept on a little bit. Well, the people in the ACC know he is really, really talented. I mean, it's hard to, with running backs, it's hard to project who's going to be the guy who breaks out and who's going to be the guy who kind of a little disappointing in the NFL.
I mean, if you told me Caleb Johnson ended up being a beast in the NFL, it wouldn't surprise me. You know, if you told me Tootin ended up being from Virginia Tech, who's the fastest of all of them, ended up being an impact guy, it wouldn't shock me. Now he's got to take care of the football better. But Hampton, I think is one of those guys where, um,
you know, usually there's one, he's a one of two. Now you see it certainly with the lions, you, you know, you have Gibbs is the, is the home run hitter a little more, but you know, the other guy is usually that punishing running back who will go between the tackles and do a lot of the heavy lifting. But Hampton's a guy I think can break runs too.
I, you know, I would not be surprised if he ended up being the better running back between he and Jenty. I'm not saying Jenty's not, not pretty special. Cause I think he is his contact balance is, And what he did last year was remarkable.
But I don't think there's a huge drop-off between he and Hampton because both are really, really good all-around backs who are really, really good catching the football, too.
I think it's the floor because I think he's a guy who's still pretty raw in terms of what he is as a tight end. You know, one of the coaches I talked to said he was, he's more gronk than he is Brock Bowers, you know, Brock Bowers, not to, this is not a knock, but it's more in the H back size.
This guy's a big dude who was a quarterback in high school and they found all sorts of ways to get him to football. I think he, He's he, and he was awesome last year. If you talk to a lot of people in the draft space, I don't, I think they thought Colson Loveland was the better prospect going into last year.
And I think it's flipped now, you know, part of it was Loveland was playing banged up last year. Part of it was Loveland had really bad quarterback play and no receivers around them. Now Penn state didn't have a great group of receivers either, but their offense, their offense wasn't as atrocious as Michigan's was last year. But I do think,
