Ranking the transition of Positions from college to Pros..


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

The LB transition is much harder than the RB or DE.  By LB I mean the off the ball LB not the 3/4 edge rushing guys.  I would also say C have it much harder than OT just because of the line calls they have to make.  In college, it depends on the school, some of those are made from the sidelines.

Yeah that's a good point.. I would switch LB with RB..

The thing about OT and C is.. I get C make all the line calls so they have a mental transition.. But they have help on each side of them.. OT are often left on a island having to deal with all types of pass rusher and outside blitzer... And OT usually come in having to bulk up.. So not only do they have a mental transition but a physical one .

How do Virginia Tech players translate to NFL?

what about Lehigh or Mercer players? The gamecocks put out some good NFL players too. 

Does St Johns have a football team?

I thought the transition for DTs was more difficult than that.

Then again, it could be our experience of drafting DTs before Star and Short made it seem way more difficult. But I would put DE/DT around the same area just before TE. Every once in a while you'll find a stud, but the majority take a couple years to start showing why you drafted them.

I pretty much agree.. But I do feel DE more than DT are asked to do more and the physical transition for most of them take a year.. While DT come in pretty big and physical already.. DE have to work more on Tech, pass rush moves and dropping back in passing zones more than DT ..

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
