Shadeur Sanders reportedly will not throw. The last guy that opted out of throwing, if my recollection serves, was Bryce Young. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43985590/sources-qb-shedeur-sanders-work-teams-combine
Interesting 40 times. https://www.nfl.com/combine/tracker/live-results/40-yard-dash/all-positions/all-colleges/
Day 1 prospects who piqued my interest DT Zeek Biggers DL CJ West (if he has a broad jump of 8.75+) DL Elijah Simmons DL Darius Alexander (Texans' coach connection) Edge Shemar Stewart (lack of production is troublesome) Edge Landon Jackson (obvi)
Ty Robinson tested as one of the best athletes at DT. Fits Demecos prototype and is a violent mean type player.
Only problem I read is he's a lot like Fuller--hands of stone. We have a need for speed, but I have a hard time with his drops (10 in 2024) https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-b...o-bring-major-value-to-georgia-despite-drops/
There are a lot of college speed demons that aren't necessarily true wide receivers; they just run fast.
Smith is a small receiver projected by this source to be an undrafted free agent. I think he'll get picked based on his highlights. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Arian-Smith-WR-Georgia
The good and bad results for TE. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...er-winners-and-losers-from-on-field-workouts/
His hands aren't great, but they're good enough and like the Georgia coaches said, he's already open. That's something the Texans WR corps is missing.
