    2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU

    2020 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT JANUARY 15, 2020 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Joe Burrow, LSU *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. Is there anyone speaking out against Joe Burrow as a top QB prospect? Does anyone even doubt that he’s the #1 pick in the draft (not necessarily admitting he’s the best player, just that he will be the #1 pick)? So, what more could I add to the Burrow lovefest of 2020? If I say that I’m very much a Burrow fan for the next level, pro-Burrow as a scout – well then there’s some intrigue taken out of this report already. Just another guy singing Burrow’s praises, big deal! However, despite any desire I might have to surprise you with a controversial take on Burrow, I’m just not finding any reason for a controversial, contrarian call for him as a bust. Not at all. The only real intrigue remaining with Burrow, for scouts and fans – just how good is Joe Burrow? As I was researching background for this report, I was watching some media segments and commentary, post-National Title game. One that caught my eye/ear was Colin Cowherd trying to classify/comp Burrow. He had top CFB analyst Joel Klatt on his show, and Klatt, in full seriousness, compared Burrow to Joe Montana… which makes some sense the more you think of it. The following day, on his show, Cowherd compared Burrow to Tony Romo…a quarterback Colin holds in high regard, so it was a nice comp, even if not quite as glowing as Klatt’s Montana call.

  • Joe Montana Reading Comprehension Name______

    Joe Montana Reading Comprehension Name______

    Joe Montana Reading Comprehension Name_______________________ Joe Montana is known as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the National Football League (NFL). He was born on June 11, 1956, in Pennsylvania. He was offered a basketball scholarship to North Carolina State University, but ended up going to the University of Notre Dame to play football instead. In 1979, he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL Draft. Montana played as starting quarterback for the 49ers. The position of quarterback is an important one that requires leadership, quick decision-making skills, and strategy. Montana had all of the above, and he was known for bringing the team to victory even in the last few moments of the game. This earned him the nickname “Joe Cool.” Montana led the 49ers to his first Super Bowl victory in 1982. In the game before the Super Bowl, Montana threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Dwight Clark with only 51 seconds left in the game, giving them the win. This iconic play is known as “The Catch”. The 49ers won the Super Bowl again in 1985. The following spring, the 49ers drafted Jerry Rice as a wide receiver. Rice and Montana worked well as a pair, and were a star passing combination for six seasons. With Montana on the team, the 49ers won the Super Bowl again in 1989 and 1990. However, Montana suffered an elbow injury that forced him to miss every game but one in the 1991 and 1992 seasons. By the time he had recovered, the 49ers had established a new quarterback: Steve Young.

    NFL Draft 2013 Scouting Report: TE Vance Mcdonald, Rice

    2013 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT APRIL 1, 2013 NFL Draft 2013 Scouting Report: TE Vance McDonald, Rice *Our TE grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. **Our TE formulas had some slight changes in the offseason—an adjustment to better identify and value TE prospects that are smaller physically and are primed for the era ahead...the era of Jordan Reed and Delanie Walker-type TEs. Our historical grades will have changed some on various prospects as well, to show their grades by comparison. One could make the argument that in this "down" year for TE prospects, the best all-around TE prospect is Rice's Vance McDonald. Tyler Eifert is the best receiving weapon in the 2013 TE draft class...by far. McDonald's teammate Luke Willson is arguably the most athletic TE in this draft class. In an all-around sense (receiving, size, blocking ability, athleticism), McDonald is our top choice. Which then allows for the question of if you could only pick one, which TE would you pick in 2013 -- Eifert or McDonald? *We exclude Zach Ertz from this discussion as our computers see Ertz as a poor man's/watered-down version of Eifert. The difference between the two (Eifert and McDonald) is a debate between what you are looking for in an NFL TE. Eifert is the top receiving weapon of a TE in this class. Eifert is 6'6" tall, 250-pounds, and very nimble for his size.
