One of the more boring things on TV but kind of enlightening. DBs tonight and they were hyping Witherspoon. Yesterday was interior D lineman first followed by edges and linebackers later. I missed the lineman as did Jalen Carter. Iowa’s Lukas Van Ness‘s performance was a shocker and he’s moving up boards. And NWs Adetomiwa Adebawore got some chatter about being a first rounder based on his performance. Two first rounders from the worst Mildcat team in years.
The shocker to me was watching the linebackers and edges and seeing the disparity in speed between the B1G players and the ACC, SEC kids. Some of these front 7 D players from southern conferences are running sub 4.4. Numerous kids are running sub 4.6. I think the best I saw out of a B1G linebacker was 4.61 and the Butkus award winner, Campbell, was 4.7+. Van Ness at 275 pounds running a 4.58 was the exception.
Good luck to Witherspoon and Brown today..although I believe these are just replays
