What to Look For at the NFL Combine @CDonScouting tells you everything and everyone you need to watch at the Combine

Young men running fast in spandex. No, I’m not describing an Avengers movie here folks. This is the NFL Combine. The biggest tryout audition of your life, a chance to impress your future employers, and one last shot in the national spotlight before your professional career begins. It quite literally means everything to the prospects involved. No pressure.

Unfortunately, because the event has such…

Small School Standout: @CDonScouting interviews and breaks down Lawrence Omolayo's game

With the college season well in the books and the Super Bowl having just concluded, draft season is in full effect. Throughout these next few months, the talk is likely going to be centered around the big name, high profile top prospects. Players such as Nick Bosa, Kyler Murray, and Quinnen Williams are sure to dominate national headlines. But part of what makes this time of year captivating is…

Senior Bowl: @CDonScouting presents his "Weigh In Awards"

Introduction:

The 2018-19 NFL Awards were just handed out Saturday night. We saw a glitch in the matrix win MVP, some war general garner Comeback Player of the Year, and a life-sized version of the Hulk nab Defensive Player of the Year. Last week I also attended the Senior Bowl for the first time. Now, how do these two relate? Well, I wanted to have my bit of fun, so I decided to hand out some…

Senior Bowl “South” Practices Recap

Introduction:

Though the weather may have been somewhat bleak, Senior Bowl week was far from it. In attendance live for the first time, the whole atmosphere was certainly overwhelming, but I tried to make the most of my surroundings. Focusing in on specific drills and particular positions rather than watch every player (which is near impossible) I caught snaps and reps of most in attendance, but…

Daniel Jones: @CDonScouting says he is Not the Answer

Introduction:

Duke QB Daniel Jones has a high probability of being a 1st Round selection come draft day. He’s got the size and the so-called intangibles. He’s certainly made it known he thinks he has the leadership ability. Tom Coughlin is likely going to take one look at the Blue Devil, see Jones’ resume with QB “guru” David Cutcliffe, and sprint his 174-year-old rear end to the podium. But…

Deebo Samuel: The Best Player in Mobile

Introduction:

My first ever Senior Bowl week was an enjoyable one. From scrimmages to 1-on-1’s to even special teams, it was great getting a feel of this years draft class up close and live. Seeing the zip out of Drew Lock’s hands, the burning speed of Terry McLaurin and the quick twitch style of Penny Hart were all eye-popping moments. But perhaps no prospect benefited more from the event than…

Introduction:

The 2019 Reese’s Senior Bowl is right around the corner, and with it, the unofficial start of the “pre-draft” process. For anything and everything Senior Bowl related, I hope to have you covered below.

What is It?

Now, the simplest way to describe the Senior Bowl is as a “glorified” College Football All-Star game. In reality, however, it’s so, so much more than just that. A week…
