    I am in love

    Tommy just said in his presser that whenever he steps on the field he wants to to be the most violent player there. 

     

     

    My god. 

     

     

    I think it moved.

    Round 3(b) - Carolina Panthers Select Notre Dame TE Tommy Tremble

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    Carolina Panthers Select Notre Dame TE Tommy Tremble.

     

    Overview

    Highly intriguing early entry tight end who appears to be scratching the surface of his future impact. He's not the same level of player, but Tremble's blocking toughness and athletic profile are reminiscent of Kellen Winslow Jr.'s when he entered the league. Tremble is a gritty, capable blocker at the point of attack and will really move the needle as a lead and move blocker in space. However, he lacks development as a route runner and has hands that fail to inspire confidence as a pass catcher. His versatility as a run blocker will allow offensive coordinators to shift him around formations and create favorable matchups in the passing game. If he's able to simply improve his hands status to average, his speed and athleticism should create chunk play opportunities. He has Day 2 value with Day 1 upside.

     

     

    Strengths
    • Feisty play demeanor suits his love of contact.
    • Activated as blocker from a variety of formations.
    • Uses athletic talent to gain positioning after initial strike.
    • Accelerates and crashes into targets as lead blocker.
    • Smooth block-to-block transition to open the edge for outside run.
    • Blocking talent opens up play-action opportunities.
    • Athletic ability and speed stand out as pass catcher.
    • Bursts off the snap and races into route.
    • Basketball movement for easy route adjustments in traffic.
    • Can separate on second- and third-level routes.
    • Vast improvement from 2019 with contested catches.
    • Talent and athleticism for some pass protection asks.
    Weaknesses
    • Just 35 career catches for 401 yards.
    • Gives away short routes with altered initial speed.
    • Needs quicker sink and open versus short zone.
    • Double catches and drops are a concern.
    • Had more drops than touchdowns at Notre Dame.
    • Still learning to fit up block with proper platform and pad level.
    • Needs quiet, efficient hands at the point of attack.

    Round 3(a) - Carolina Panthers Select BYU OT Brady Christensen

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    Carolina Panthers Select OL Brady Christensen in the 3rd round of the 2021 NFL draft. 

    Quote

    Christensen served a two-year church mission in New Zealand after excelling at Bountiful High School in Utah and then redshirted in 2017. He took over the starting left tackle spot in 2018, starting all 13 games. Christensen repeated that feat in 2019. He garnered national attention as a junior, blocking so well for star quarterback Zach Wilson in 12 starts that the Associated Press voted him a first-team All-American. -- by Chad Reuter

     

    6'5 302lbs 

    Overview
    With short legs, a longer torso and a big barrel chest, Christensen's play strength at the point of attack is NFL-caliber and he has enough movement to get to most blocks that are asked of him. He understands his strength and works around his limitations in the run game. He's a bit of a waist-bender through the mirroring process, which will need to be eliminated, but he has the punch and upper-body strength to slow physical rushers. His lateral movement in the run game and pass protection is sluggish and is unlikely to improve much. Teams will likely try Christensen as a tackle but a move to guard is possible if they don't like the results.
    Strengths
    • Low-cut with big, barrel chest.
    • Plays with adequate snap quickness and body control.
    • Accelerates into run blocks with good hip snap into defender.
    • Good footwork in preparation for climb block.
    • Hits his landmarks and drives through the block.
    • Choppy, quick slide steps in pass pro.
    • Pays attention to maintaining proper base width.
    • Powerful upper body to punch and lock out.
    • Has strength to slow edge rush with inside hand.
    • Finds work and helps his teammates.
    Weaknesses
    • Short arms for a tackle.
    • Not a great bender and is average athlete as a tackle.
    • Needs to be first with inside hands more often with his punch.
    • Hard time redirecting weight back inside to catch inside counter.
    • Occasional waist-bending through mirror needs to be smoothed out.
    • Oversteps and gets beat inside.
    • Pad level rises high in lateral movements.
    • Needs more attention to secure block duties in zone.
    • Labors to make reactive change of direction at second level.
