You totally get like the football guy who's like just ultra competitive. And those guys, I feel like, you know, and I've had this when I was at the combine, just remember talking to, you know, one of the, one of the coaches I know really well, we went out for beers and he was talking about the meetings and who you feel in the room.
those guys are usually not the ones who end up disappointing you in the NFL. It's the ones who are like overcoached and trying, you know, it's just, and I feel like that's, those are the organizations that can't get out of their own way just because they forget what the main thing is and they just don't even know it.
And that's why, you know, we see these constant teams that are typically really good because they just have a great feel for this is going to work. This, this part will translate. We're not sure if he's going to check every box, but we want this guy in our locker room.
You know, there's been some times where I've seen Emeka Buka not that high, and I'm like, I don't get it. He's not a small receiver. He's bigger than some of the guys who come out of Ohio State. You know, I remember when he was a freshman, We had, uh, Brock Huard was my analyst and we were, our TV crew was in there and we, he asked Ryan day, who was the guy in the program?
You'd say, I could totally see him as a football coach. Cause I just think he's super smart. And Ryan thought about for a while. He goes, we have a freshman. He talked about a Mecca and the Mecca was that guy. And as a, as a true freshman, freshman, Yeah. And again, Ohio state has a lot of football savvy guys in there.
You know, like, like, look, another Ohio state guy, I think will be a really good NFL player. Cody Simon was a linebacker who went from being good to borderline great last year. You can't shut James Laurinaitis up about him when, when like he's the position coach, he obviously had a really good NFL career himself. Like those guys, I think,
we'll end up being 10 year pros and be really, really good. I don't know where Simon's projected to, you know, how far projected to go. I mean, when you see him in warmups, he looks like he spent a shit ton of time in the weight room. He's like, you know, almost like one of those guys that, Oh, that guy probably be a good bobsledder.
Cause he's like super explosive and you wonder, you know, it'd be good on special teams. And then last year he really blew up and made plays all over the field. I could see him being like, I know that's not always a position where people are drafting it. I like Edgerton Cooper was a, it was an elite athlete at Texas A&M.
And I think he's going to be a, you know, he's already been really good, but you know, 10 years ago, I think Edgerton Cooper probably is a top 10 pick because of his traits and everything else. And that position sometimes slides down. But I think those two Ohio state guys, again, I would be surprised if,
If Abuka doesn't go in the first round, but if he doesn't, um, we see all the track record of the Ohio state receivers thriving in the NFL. He's super smart. He's very physical. Um, and also, you know, another one I would throw in Jalen Noel, um, from Iowa state is a beast. You know, people like I, one of the coaches compared him to Heinz ward. And super tough.
There's two really good receivers from Iowa state, six, four, one, a five 11, one, the slot people like a little more who played him just because they think he's just incredibly tough. And I think that guy will end up making a team really happy too. I mean, those are the ones that come to mind.
Certainly, you know, like I said, the two Ohio state guys, I haven't seen Simon, you know, anyone talking about him, you know, in the top 40. So I, you know, I feel good saying he's going to be,
No, I think there's, because Higgins is, you know, he ran really well at the, you know, in Indy and Higgins is bigger. You know, he's obviously a big receiver. He's got really good size and he is a really good football player. The slot is the guy, the coaches I talked to were like, they thought he was the one who impressed them even more. Again, not to knock Higgins.
Higgins probably will turn out to be I don't think it's exactly the Alan Lazard because you have another similar size receiver for the same program, but he's good. He's fast, but Noel is like one where, um, he was one people really, really talked up.
I mean, there was a handful of guys that like, they weren't going to be first round guys for, for, for my, for what I was working on, but the coaches would talk about them way, way more than, um, than, um, I think I was hearing in draft chatter, like Iowa has a defensive lineman, Yaya Black, who's a giant of a man. He's 6'5", 335. And they really talked him up.
Like he will be a starter in the NFL, at least on first and second downs. I don't know if he goes in the third round where he goes, but there are a bunch of guys like that who coaches just think, all right, I know he's not a first round guy because people are looking for something a little different there, but they're going to be really good football players.
Not yet. I mean, I would... Uh, I, yeah, look, I think if Sark doesn't win a national title in the next two years, I'd be surprised. Um, I like what they have coming back. I think arch is going to live up to it. They have really good players on defense. If you ask me, right, Texas, I would say, yes, I don't know where I would go on the other side of it. You know, like I, I think that, um,
You know, Penn State's hard for me to go all the way in after, you know, I think Aller's got talent. But you keep waiting for, like, the moment where you're like, okay, that was a clutch play or whatever. And I just, I don't know. Right now, I would say Texas if I had to pull another one out of there.
I mean, yeah, I don't know. Like, I mean, I'm not sold on what Georgia's quarterback is. I like LSU's quarterback. I think Nussmeyer is really good and they've upgraded the, upgraded the roster around him. But I just, right now I don't have like a great feel for who the other team is. I worry that Ohio state lost a little too much. I think there'll still be a playoff team.
But the one team I feel really confident in is Texas. You know, based on what I've heard, you know, I talked to a bunch of Texas guys over the last couple of weeks and it seems like things are going in a really good direction. But I don't know. I don't know where we turn from this. Maybe Clemson.
