Breaking down the 2020 NFL Draft Front 7 with Emory Hunt

the ball. Miami beefed up it's line and linebacker positions in free agency, so we'll break that down and talk about this interior, edge and linebacker class for next week's NFL Draft. And we'll do that with Emery Hunt. All of that and more on this Wednesday, April fifteenth edition of the Drivetime Podcasts. And we're gonna start this show here real quick by giving you a lead into this interview with Emery Hunt. And I want to first start by telling you this guy is not going to be

a cookie cutter draft analyst. He has his own rankings, his own big board, and it's gonna be different than what you've seen from the general consensus We talked a lot about different fits and different schemes. Versatile players, guys that can play inside, outside, linebackers that can rush, cover, defend the run. We talked about the fits for different schemes, how the length and athletic ability and fluid movement of these players can really help a front seven on the

defensive side of the football. We also talked about Miami's big additions, not just to help the rushing the passer, but also setting that edge and giving the defense more rush opportunities with a stout run defense early in the down and distance. We'll talk about the versatile linebacker group with the Landon Roberts, Kyle van Noy, Kamu Gruge Hill. Plenty of good content in this podcast from Emery Hunt

at f Ball game Plan on Twitter. Let's go ahead and get to that interview right now and joining the podcast now is the owner of foot Ball game Plan. He is an in studio analyst, a color commentator, and author. He kind of does it all. He's Emery Hunt. Emery, thanks for joining me, Man Well, I appreciate you had me on. Man always a pleasure. Yeah, we had you on.

I think it was on Lockdown Dolphins once before, and then I had a chance to meet you at the Combine back in February, and that was right before things got crazy. And it's been about a month and a half since that time, Emory, and for me, it feels like about a year. How are you doing during the shelter employees, self quarantine, all this crazy stuff? Man? Yeah, it's been crazy because we also covered the XFL. So when you saw me at the Combine, we were doing

our NFL draft stuff, our combined coverage. Got back on the plane to New York and went over to the XFL game that Friday or Saturday, um, the Guardians game, and that was the last XFL game in history, you know, so to speak, which which is unfortunate because now that's off the table. Then I looked at my calendar from March and it was filled with pro D visits and

college visits. All of that is not wiped out. So it's just been kind of weird to not be out and about because I'm usually at somebody's campus, alright, someone's pro day, our covery, some sort of football throughout the spring. It's got you jumbled up, man, I feel the same way. It's just everything's been thrown off, and our schedules are different now and we're doing everything this way now through zooming, through digital meetings. So it's good to hear that you're

healthy and you're safe. And I wanted to ask you first before we get into the draft. Here we're talking about defensive line and linebackers, and I wanted to ask you, Emory, because this Dolphin's offseason really made the front seven a point of emphasis heading into the draft. Let's go ahead and start on the line and talk about the additions of Emanuel Ogball and Shack Lawson. What do you think

of those two guys off the edge for this defensive line. Well, they give the Dolphins a lot of depth because those guys do a great job and playing rotational roles and it does give you a lot of more a lot more variety as far as what you can do as far as stopping and run or rushing the passer. And I like how they're approaching it, Becau, because you have

a lot of guys um that just look at it. Okay, we're building this team this way, but you have to build a team to go up against the opponents you have, and a lot of times teams get caught in bad situations where they may be matched up well versus a team that does one thing, but when they face a team that does another thing, they can't defend. And so what I like about what the Dolphins have done it

makes them much more versatile. So let's say they're playing a team that wants to run the football, well, they have defensive line depth that can really help bolsters the run stopping efforts. If they play a team that wants to air it out, they have guys now that can come in and kind of rotate as ed rushers to keep that pass for us fresh. So I love the approach they did this week, this um all season and addressing you know, the depth defensively with guys that can

do more than one thing. And that was kind of the theme of the back half of last year when the Dolphins did start to win some games down the stretch, winning five of the final nine. They talked about how the game plan changes week to week and you can be one team one week and a completely other team

the next week. And I see the same thing there where you talk about with a ball and losson and their ability both to get up fields pass rushers, but also to hold that edge in the running game in the area of the Dolphins had to improve, and they did. They add those two defensive linemen, but they also add three linebackers to that front seven and they can all

do different things as well. What do you make of the collection of Kyle van Noy and the land and Roberts, but also Commu Gruge Hill who comes over from Philadelphia coverage and and that's big in this era of football. You have to be able to cover guys, not just it used to be just okay, well we have a secondary that can cover, we should be fine, and versus the past. Now your linebackers have to be able to cover. So the Calvanoi move makes sense. Eldon Landon Roberts makes sense.

A gruge here is a guy that can they can get out there and cover as well. But he also helps boaster the special teams unit, which is the third aspect of a game. You can win games strictly all special teams and one of their facet of a game.

So I think again, the way they were able to go out there and attack free agency just makes what they're gonna do in the draft a lot easier because they've answered a ton of questions with guys that can get out there, play all three dollars, be versatile um and also helped them in a situation where hey, we have to really, you know, pony up and stop the past today when they have backers that can do that in coverage. So that helps you not get out of

your base personnel, so to speak. You can really still stay in base and play well there and be and be good on both friends. And they have guys that now can get up the field and consistently provide that pass for us. If you know, the starters get tired, that second wave comes in fresh, while the offensive line

of the opposing team is gas. So I love what they've done defensively, and they have three first round picks to get even better, and we are going to get into this draft class and those three first round picks of the Dolphins. Well, I love that you mentioned the special teams perspect of it, because Kyle van Nois talked about this in the past too. Even though he's a guy that plays eight hundred, nine hundred, even up to a thousand snaps in a season, he's willing to go

out there and contribute on special teams. A model of playing starters on special teams because, like you said, Emory, that's the way you can win and lose football games. So why not have your best guys out there and contribute when you can get them out there onto the field. So a great point there, But you mentioned the draft. I want to get into that now here, because this is the area you really excel in with all the crossover with professional football college ball. I didn't know you

were doing XFL. Man, you you do it all. It's it's awesome to hear. I love seeing you kind of come up from where you were and get into this position now where you're one of the foremost opinions. And that's why I wanted to have you on this podcast, and you've been covering this draft since I knew you way back in the message board days. Let's go ahead

and start up front here, Emory. First, when you look at the edge position, for you, how do you classify different guys off the edge, Like maybe one guy is a rush specialist, maybe one guy is more of a base run defender. How do you separate that and kind of differentiate the value between those two classifications. Well, I'm glad you asked that that way because That's how I break down my my draft analysis and my scouting because you can't, let's say, for instance, the receiver position. You

can't just rank here my top ten receivers. Well, guys play different positions. Like you can't ask Cole Beasley, you can't read him against Calvin Johnson. They're playing two separate positions. Um, he's a slot and Johnson is on the outside. So

with the defensive line, I do the same thing. I have four or three defensive ends that a greade defensive tackles, and those tackles five techniques or four eye defensive vents, guys that are probably a better fit inside but have a little bit of pass rushing presence, but you see could see them playing and and maybe a three or four defense. And your edge rushers, which are separate from

your outside linebackers and your inside linebackers. To me, edge rushers are you know, I grew up in the arroway edge rushers. Essentially we're week side defensive ends. So I still look at him as week side defensive events. So guys that you can play with their hand on off the ground and the strictly in a rush situation. So that's how I differentiate between the talent that you see

coming in instead of ranking defensive ends defensive tackles. Would you say that there are a strong split between those two. Let's let's talk about maybe the top fifty players are so on your big border edge distinctions. Do you say that? Would you say there's a big difference between those two classifications this year, like which guys fall into the pass rush group and which guys fall into the more base rundown defensive end. Cha Chung is the number one four

three defensive end. I don't even see see him as an address. I see him as your standard for three defensive end that can really just play down and down with his hand in the ground. As far as edge rushes are concerned, to answer your question, I think a lot of it is closer to the top. So whoever I have is number one, it's probably a point to have different than who I have at number ten. So I think the add rush group for me at least

is a lot closer than the defensive end group. With Chase Young, Jabari Zunigata Florida, those guys or are your defensive ends, while other guys I tend to view as more ed rushes. I know a lot of times you're here, folks kind of blend the two. Um. They may look at a guy, let's say you tour Gross Mottoes as a d rusher. I see him as a defensive end, you know. I see him as a guy that can play, play the run with his hand in the ground, down and down out, hold the edge, and do those things

that you would ask the defensive in a dude. Just supposed to a guy like Bradley an out of Utah who I see as a straight edge rusher, guy that can really get up the field and get after the quarterback. You mentioned Bradley and either Bradley in a from Utah and kind of the differentiating between he and Chase Young.

But there are some guys maybe on day three that can maybe do a little bit more in terms of versatility, but maybe they don't have the background of the makeup, with the small school pedigree, whatever it might be guys to fall into that day three group. Can you talk about some players in that range that might be able to come onto a roster and maybe they don't have immediate impacts, they can develop into a guy that can do multiple roles like you mentioned and play all over

the defensive line. I like Aaron Patrick out of Eastern Kentucky watching him, you know, we cover a lot of FCS football and football game plan and just watching him develop into one of the best pass rushers at the FCS level. He's a long, tightly you know, compacted athlete six four about two fifty, but built more like um Barkavis Mingo. Patrick is a guy that can really turn the corner and flatten that line between he and the

quarterback and get after the quarterback. He was very disruptive for the Colonels and Austin Edwards out of Ferres State played well down at the East West Shrine Bowl. And he's one that can play on the edge. You saw him sometimes play inside like a five, and he can really pressure up quarterback real strong at the point of attack. Big fan of what Bright Stirk does as well too, out of Montana State, another East West Shrine Bowl participant

that can really get after the quarterback. He was another one of those guys I thought this year, you know they have the Bucket Buchanan, a ward which is given to the top defensive lineman at the FCS level. I thought he should have won that war. He actually voted for him to win the award. Um it went to Dante Olsen, who's another tremendous player at linebacker. I played the Shrine Bowl, so it was splitting the hairs between one and two. But Stirk was one that really was

a disruptive force for the Bobcats on that defense. I want to talk to you about three guys here. I have a potential swing players that can play inside, outside, maybe even go off ball and play linebacker. And they are Alex Highsmith of Charlotte. They are Trevis Gibson of Tulsa, and my last one is Jason Strowbridge from North Carolina. How do you separate those three guys and about where do you see their value in this year's draft? Well, you mentioned three guys, and for me, they played three

different positions. You talked about Hi Smith, he plays the edge, UM Strowbridge plays the five tech I look at it, and Gibson plays the four three defensive end. So looking at Gibson, I thought he stood out to me at the Senior Bowl. UM, and my draft process genuinely starts are generally starts at the Senior Bowl. Then I go back and watch the film and then I great because I don't want that All Star Game exposure to be

the only exposure I get to a prospect. So you go back and watch the film and you love it when you see what you saw at the Senior Bowl consistently over the course of four games, when you break down a prospect, and you saw that with Gibson, who was tremendous for Tulsa. I thought Tulsas defensively, our defense was probably under it. There's four guys from Tulsa that should be getting looks at at the NFL Draft and may even end up getting drafted. So they were really

good individually defensively this past season. Strowbridge, I was at that pit U n C game and he saw him moved all around the formation and we saw him drop in coverage at times. So he has the versatility to play any position or any technique up front. So you like that versatility. He also had a solid week at the Senior Bowl as well. And everyone is high on Alex Heisman rightfully so, because he's a guy that was

very productive, self made man. You'd like to say he was a walk on that Earnder scholarship, became a premier player for the four Niners, And what was great about his tape was that teams came in knowing they had to find a way to stop him. He was their best defensive player, and knowing that and still being able to dominate and be disruptive tells you a lot about

what he brings to the table. I think he is a guy that just was excellent, and I also feel as though he would be a fantastic core special teamer, and that's always the key. Can guys excel on special teams earned there, keep there while being a sub package player before jumping into a starting role. Yeah, explosive, twitched up, and he has the fire and the and the the motor that really helps him play on a special teams

level as well too. So I love that note. And this is why I love having you on Emery, because you can go so deep into your into your draft notes here and give us prospects late and Day three, maybe even U d f as at some point. But I do want to go back to the top of the draft class with this particular position group off that edge and just kind of ask you to go over your top five or six guys and let me tell me one trade about these guys you think really makes

them stand out. You told us Chase Young already, what about beyond Chase Young? Well as the defensive end, youngest is number one. At number two, I have Jabari zunigauta Florida. I thought he was another one that really had bird's coming off the edge and could close on the quarterback. At three, I have Ladarius hamilt And out of North Texas. He was one that despite him being six two sixty, he is a guy that can play with his hand in the ground. You think about Robert Matthis, you think

about those type of players. He was explosive. He has a lot of different ways to get to the quarterback. Four, I have your tour Gross Spontos out of Penn State. Was able to see him live at the against Maryland. Like what he was able to do against that spread offense. They really love to, you know, spread you out, push the tempo. He was very disruptive there. And five I have Darryl Taylor out of Tennessee another one of these bigger, burrely guys that can that You know that on paper

looks six. You think, well he maybe he's an edge guy. Now he can hold his own at the point of attack, very strong run defender and can collapse a pocket with that strength. So outside the top five. Rondelle Carter out of James Madison. You watch him and John Dodca the two ends for James Madison. They were always in the opposing backfield. Doctors worl of an outside linebacker and Rondelle Carter.

It's your standard defenseman. He was at Rutgers then transferred to j m U. We saw him get the championship game. You're looking at five text A. J Epiness is another one. I think he would be one of those type of guys that Miami would love because he's versatile. He has a multiple a multi step approach to where he can play the run, he can rush the past. He's not a speed guy off the edge per se, but he wins with the ability to turn the corner. He uses

his hands very well. It can get to the quarterback that way. I like his game. At number two, I have Joe Gaziano out of Northwestern. Was surprised that not a lot of talk was coming from his his direction because he was impressive off off the film and you watch him compete down and down out. Another one of these guys that draws double teams. Third Darius Moraine out

of Kansas. And and here's a situation where you really have to put your scouting hat on because Morange was playing you know, he was playing a five tech at

Kansas six six to nineties seven. But I was down at the Tropical Bowl this year, which is I was a color analyst on the Tropical Bowl broadcast, which is another All Star game prior to the East West Shrine Bowl, and we saw him play more of a seven and in one on one, you're like, man, they had him just pretty much occupying a gap at Kansas, but here in the All Star Game, he really can rush the past,

so he can play defensive end. He's just a bigger body defensive end, which is great because it gives you that versatility. And and four have Mardin Davidson out of Auburn versatility. I knew Auburn had him playing out there on the edge, but he's another one of these players that can play anywhere up front and be successful. In five Strowbridge we talked about earlier and Rousing out of my edge rushers Bradley and a we talked about nine

out of Utah. You know, just hustle player, typical Utah player, you know, the guy that just constantly is in the backfield and and hair on fire, brights off of the number two out of Memphis. I thought Memphisis defense had some studs on it as well. He reminds me a lot of Ladarius Hamilton's Aaron Patrick. We talked about that number three, high smooth, We talked about it, number four and the number five. I do have Chauncey Rivers out of Mississippi State, and he's different than he's built like

what we talked about who at Ladarius Hamilton's. They're about the same size. But I like his fluidity as far as being able to drop in coverage, being able to really play with his hand off the ground. He's not awkward in space and he's also very productive. Do you think that that you mentioned the fluidity of the kind of ability drop into coverage, do you think that also translates to a guy that can run games and kind of slant off the defensive line and run the looper

and stunts and that type of thing. Yeah, because you want guys that have the ability to close space quickly, and if you're stiff athletically, you can't do that, So you're if you're fluid enough to where you can, you know, go from a drop back and planting acceleray to the quarterback or running run around blocks, or come from a seven and then crashed into a five technique. You want guys that have the ability to move, because if you can't, you're better off just putting your hand in the dirt

and just going up field. Let's go ahead and move inside here he has Emery Hunt of football game plan here on the Drivetime podcast, the official Miami Dolphins podcast network. I'm your host, Travis Wingfield, and Emery. I want to get to these big guys inside because there are some players that I think a lot of folks like on

the interior of this defensive line. And whether or not you want to call them true noses or guys that can play anywhere from the zero technique head up over the center all the way out to the three technique. You know, maybe there's some different opinions on what guys can do that, but can you just kind of walk us through guys that play really more inside the tackles on the interior defensive line? Sure, and um Darry Brown

is one of them. Obviously, he's my number one defensive tackle out of Auburn h arguably one of the top defensive players in the draft. And kin Law out of South Carolina. Javon kin Law is another one that you watch and you like that he can play inside and he's another one that you could probably see as a five tech in a three or four defense, but he can also hold his own as a one or three and really as a tilted knows I think he could really do some damage. Roderick Washington is number three out

of Texas Tech. Watching Texas Texas defense, I think he was criminally underrated and what he was able to do from a ball get off standpoint, how he's able to rush the passer despite playing the notes. He was a pocket collapser, and I thought he did a great job in getting off blocks. Um and number four Rolls Blacklock

out of TCU. I know he had the injury concerns, but outside of that, his tape was I love how he was just quick off the ball and disruptive and those types of guys you want up front on the interior because it makes things hard for the running back and also for the quarterback if you're getting that quick interior pressure. And number five is Garrett Marino. Have you

a bat? He was another one of these players that you watched and you just you you kind of start to root for because he was he played with almost like a youthful exuberance out there on the field, but he was so disruptive, so dominant um from his defensive tackle position. And he's another he's more of your three tech and a guy that it can really just whip a guard day in day out um on the inside

because of his quickness those tackles. If you're looking for guys, I'm a big fan of ray Kwon Davis out of Alabama, And this is the difference between, you know, guys doing what they were asked to do versus what they can do. So you look at ree Kwon Davis and ray Kwan Williams from Michigan Michigan State. They were asked to play nose. But when you talk to them or when you watch them play individually, like Yo, these dudes have quickness. They

also use their hands very well. They can penetrate. So they are playing the nose because it's required within this defense. But there are guys that can also probably kick out and play one three or even a five, so they give you some versatility and lucky foltwo out of Utah. I was a big fan of his game on tape. You know again, typical Utah defensive player. Um, guys, that's just stout aggressive but football aware, smart. It finds a

way to be disruptive. Every single one of those Utah kids I talked you with the combine, they are more impressive than the last. So I'm glad you mentioned leaky there towards the end of that and you talk about you know, it's kind of like a good way to dispel a trope that you just did there, And I really appreciate that because a lot of times it's like it's like running backs. Right running back gets ten or twelve catches a senior year. He can't he can't catch football,

he can't run pass routs. But it's because he wasn't asked to, it wasn't part of the system. So you've got to look more for the projection there when it comes to projecting the next level and what they might be able to do with that spot. So Emory, if I had to ask you if I was shopping for a let's say two hundred three hundred snap nose tackle on day three, A big, beefy guy that would get in there on day three and contribute with a few reps in the you know, even his rookie year. Who

would that guy be? It will probably be Phoe Too out of Utah because if you if you're looking for a traditional nose tackle, I got to and getting there and you know, be a run defender right away. Photo would be that guy. If you're looking for a little bit more versatility, you're looking at both the re Kwins, Kwan william At Williamson, also Rekwon Davis. So plenty of options up front there for your Miami Dolphins fourteen draft picks.

We have one more position I want to hit for you here, Emery, and that's the linebackers, the off ball guys. This Dolphins linebacker group has some depth to it now, Ray Kwa, McMillan, Jerome Baker, whether you classify Kyle Van Noise and off ball on ball guy Andrew Van Ginkle, Vince Bagle. It's deep here. But who are some guys in this draft at the top that you like that could come into a defense and give you that sideline to sideline range and really kind of be a mainstay

at the middle linebacker spot. One guy that I would hate to and I play running back in college, so this is, you know, one guy that I would hate to have faced would be a Keem David's gate there, uh from app State, because he's so instinctive, he's so fast, and he's just a nuisance, like he beat you to

the spot. He's a guy that that seems like he's in the offensive huddle and when you're looking at someone that's that football aware that's smart, but also that athletic um can play both the run and also in coverage. He reminds me a lot of Telvin Smith that played for Florida State that you know ended up playing a little bit in the NFL as well for a recently retire. But David's gaither is one of those guys that you just look at you just like, man, this is gonna

be a problem. We have to block twenty four otherwise we won't get nothing done offensively. So he would be one that obviously that you you look at and if you know obviously you look at guys like you know Asaiah simmons Um, he's a He's a great one. Kenneth Murray, the nside backer Jordan I really like out of Texas Tech. He's one of those guys that UM another one. He reminds me a lot of Keem Davis Gaithering and the fact that you know the man is dude is always

where I know I'm gonna go. He's already there and I have to see him at some point in time in the hole, and he wins those battles nine times out of ten. So I like those guys um as far as you know what they bring from an athletic standpoint. They're your classic running chase guys, but they don't have to leave the field. They can play both man and

also zone coverage really well. It seems like there's I don't know if this is more new in recent times or if it's something I'm noticing this year, but it seems like a lot of these linebackers they're getting more instinctive. Man, Like you mentioned Kenneth Murray and how fast he is to the ball. Keem Davis Gaither, same same story there, and Patrick Queen from l s U it's the same

story for him. This place speed matches their instincts and man, it gets into the football, so quick before we go to the edge position and talk about Caleb and Chase on those guys, I do want to come back to a Keem Davis caith here because I've read some stuff on him. Maybe he moves back to safety, maybe he plays linebacker. Where do you think his ideal spot is in the NFL defense? I think you have to play like that on defense, and a lot of it depends on the matchup. You know, you may face a team

that that is a week running the football. So okay, we're gonna need you be a little bit more close to the line of scrimmage because of the day. We know you could beat this tackle or this tight end. We need you to be a blitzer because he's that running back in the backfield struggles to pick up you know, blitzzes. So we want you close to the line of scrimpin so we can blitz. Hey, we're playing a team that spreads you out. We need you as a as a slot safety, a guy that can get out there and

cover one on one. I really play zone, um, you know, in the short area of the field, you know, in the passing game. So I think it depends on the opponent. How you utilize him. I just like the fact that he makes plays. He's the one that always ends up either involved with the play or with the ball in his hands. So I'll give you a chance to go ahead and just run down your list here because I mentioned it off the top Caleb and Chaison. Is he

your top guy? And if not, who is? I just kind of run through the list of edge rushers and maybe more and more of guys that can do both. You know, the Josh j is the caleban Chason's guys that can cover, defend the run, and rush the passer. Well, caleban Chashan is a guy that that you know you want. You like the athleticism, you like the traits, but you

want to see the production match up to that. I have him as my third teen outside linebacker, so I see him as someone has a lot of room to grow and get better, which is great because in the NFL, you want guys as much as they say they want finished products, you want guys that continue to get better and grow. So he has the upside that people look for. Um As far as out backers, Simmons is number one, Brown is number three, Patrick Queen is number four, and

Cam Brown is number five. You know you share his number six. I like what you shape does. I think he's versible to play outside and inside Brown, I think is I hate saying Brown is just like Simmons in the regard that he is a long, athletic guy that can match up. I was at the Maryland game, like

I mentioned earlier, first player of the game. He's lined up over number two, and you you're seeing a guy that's not like six eighteen six five to thirty lined up versus the team's number two receiver, you know, inside, with a lot of space to run and not looking awkward in space. So I'm a big fan of Cam Brown at what he brings to the table. Those guys usually pounds out there right exactly, or you look at

him and you spect him. Okay, he's gonna line up out there, but as the caden start to wind down, he'll come quickly and put his hand in ground and rush the pass. And no stayed out there and played, you know, out in space. A lot net ball game against the team in Maryland that is legit fast across

the board. So you have to be able to match up athletically, and you have to take proper angles to the ball carry because you're dealing with a guy like Anthony McFarland that is one bad angle away from bringing it to the house. So I'm a big fan of Cambron and when he brings the table. Murray and Brooks are my two top inside backers. Third, I have Evan

Weaver out of Cal. We Were was a guy I was on my way to UH calling a game on a Saturday, so I'm at the hotel and they played on a Friday, so I got a chance to check him out. I was like, you know, everyone's talking about this linebacker from Cal. Let me go check him out. And that Friday night they played Arizona State, and I'm thinking, you know, when people hype up these players that you see on Twitter all the time, you think the guy

may not be able to play. So you watch him and within the first drive, like, man, this dude made all these plays, Like the first three plays he made um and then you watch him just be playing extinctive and for me, hawking back memories of a guy like Brian Urlacher. Maybe you know a guy that that can. He just seems like he gets it. He tastes good angles to the ball, he plays well on both ends, and he's an impactful tackler. Number four is Logan Wilson

out of Wyoming. I think he's another one that can play in any defense all three positions. Um, he can rush the passer, he can chase the run going away from him. He could you know, fit up the run real well, drops back in his zone. He can match up and and man. So I like him and and also Jordan mac Brown is out my top five for Virginia.

He talked about football instincts. He has that uh in spades, and he's another one that plays instinctive, plays aggressive the right way, and also has the ability to match up in man. Now see, I quite fancy myself a West Coast football guy when it comes to college because I live in the Pacific Northwest before I moved to Miami, of course, and I love those two guys you mentioned, Evan Weaver and Logan Wilson. Two guys that play the game right. They play the game hard, smart, tough, discipline,

and Wilson certainly is that kind of guy. But Evan Weaver, he is so fascinating to me because when you turn the tape on, he's not the classic looking linebacker just in terms of his build. But you turn the tape on and that guy is dominant and there was probably no more productive linebacker in college football last year. And to top it off, he looks like the linebacker from Remember the Titans too, So I love that exactly, exactly, good to go. He's a doppel ganger. Man, It's great.

The Wilson kid. He does everything for a while, like you mentioned there. And then one last question for you, her, Emry.
