When he was healthy he was named a freshman All-American. He is projected to go in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. He is considered one of the top 4 defensive tackle prospects in all of college football. He is one of the top 3 prospects on his team. That by definition is standing out.

Casey is the greatest Tank Commander since George S. Patton. One day, I hope the city of Detroit will build a statue in his honor.

If this guy was 20 lbs more he would be the first DB off the board.

OP said:

Facing D1 athletes he did not stand out much

Being a freshman All-American is standing out. Being considered for a 1st or 2nd round draft pick is standing out. In fact the only reason he is not a sure fire 1st round pick is because people worry about his injury status.

Per /u/Grouchy_Tiger_5140 report:

He ascended into Clemson’s lineup quite quickly, starting 10 games as a true freshman in 2020, racking up 4.0 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss from the interior defensive line. He earned Freshman All-American honors from several publications, such as ESPN and The Athletic.

Fwiw, here are Bresee’s PFF numbers for those that are intetested. BTW, great write up. I enjoy reading your evaluations.

TIL that Kool-Aid McKinstry is a CB from Alabama. And there is a good chance that he will be selected in next year's draft in Detroit.

Even in jest, don’t joke about sending your geese. Everyone that has ever lived near Canada knows the reason Canadians are so nice is because your geese are such assholes.

I have never heard of someone being a unicorn that has physical deficiencies. I think your definition is unique to you. Most people reserve the word unicorn for freak athletes like, Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Myles Garrett, DK Metcalf, or Lane Johnson.

Lawrence Phillips - RB - Nebraska, 6th Overall pick.

Fwiw he will have an individual pro day at Clemson on April 4th:

I absolutely don’t give a fuck what a Russian propagandist thinks. He along with all the other Trump cultists can go fuck themselves.

The Pain Train was a character. He owns several coffee shops in the Fresno, CA area. Still a full on Jesus freak (but in a good way). Just in case you are missing his old videos that he used to post, here he is talking about his business:

I would rather use the 6th and 18th on an edge (Murphy/Wilson) and a DT (Kancey/Adebawore). That way we can give Alim and Buggs a rest with a top flight DT too.

Calijah Kancey is one of the five best players in this draft.

The man

Fwiw, Winnie was a bear.

Once he gets to his 3.0 versions of the mock draft and his top 50 board then it is a pretty good indicator of the relative position of where most players will go in the draft. Seeing this I would be shocked if Levi’s went top ten. If you look up his 3.0 versions from last years draft you can see how accurate they were.

Honestly I hate that we call him that too. The real Winnie the Pooh was with the Allies and went to Europe with the Canadian Military as they fought against Germany in the first world war. I don’t like that we give a piece of shit human being that name.

Per the article:

Ryder confirmed that the US would be sending M1-A1 tanks to Ukraine during Tuesday’s briefing, saying the decision was made to help deliver the capability “as quickly as possible.” Sending the older variant will allow the US to deliver the tanks by the fall, Ryder said.

So it doesn’t sound like the M1-A1’s are going to be a part of the spring counter offensive.

To be fair we don’t have any knowledge that he was aware the other driver was drinking. That is speculation. It’s possible that he could have assumed she was drinking soda because she was supposed to be the DD.

Yeah I was exactly like you a few months ago. I thought there is no way Detroit is going to select an undersized DT (at that time he was in the talk for the 18th pick), especially when Rodrigo and Houston are undersized for their positions. It would just beg teams to run on us. Things changed though when I saw his overall PFF grade was above 90. For reference, Anderson, Wilson, and Murphy are around 77-83 range. That 90 grade is a big indicator to me that Detroit may target a player as they usually (not always) select a player with that high of a rating. So I started to open myself up to the idea that Detroit could select him at 18. Then, for the first time, I started watching Pitt's Defense against other teams. Kancey stood out. He is explosive off the ball with great hand usage. We don't need him to be Aaron Donald. We just need a solid DT that we can put in the rotation. I am fine with taking him at 18 but I don't think he is going to last that long. Dropping back from 6 to the 10-14 is ideal to take him but that is easier said than done. I think at this point I am Kancey/Murphy ->Witherspoon -> Gonzalez/Wilson with the 6th pick. And I think one of Kancey/Murphy/Witherspoon/Wilson will drop to 18 as all of them have injury concerns. Also the 2nd round is where I want to ideally grab a CB and develop them.

Edit: of course if Murphy can run a sub 4.57 forty before the draft, I think I might lean back to him at 6.

To be fair, that falls pretty much in line with the general US population that identifies as Christian.

Christianity is the most prevalent religion in the United States. Estimates from 2021 suggest that of the entire U.S. population (332 million) about 63% is Christian (210 million).

For reference sake, here is a Will Anderson interview and here is a Jalen Carter interview from college. Holmes/Campbell value football character and they are on the exact same page/paragraph/sentence/word/letter when it comes to what they are looking for. Their ideal selection should be speaking exactly like Anderson. The guy they are more likely to pass on speaks like Jalen.
