Troy Apke.... Safety Penn St.

[DaveThePanther2008]

I know that performing in shorts isn't the deciding factor in a football player.

He is very fast 4.34 and a top performer in bench press and Vertical Jump.

I have zero information on his actual play.   Which is why I am posting this.  

Anyone got any ideas on his skill as a safety and what round do you think he'll go.

Penn State had some athletes.  I did not see them play, but there could

I see a special teamer who might not be drafted...Worth a seventh?

Better & cheaper than Colin Jones

Just watched a highlight video on YouTube. Undersized but he covers a lot of ground. Closing speed and not afraid to tackle. Other than that? Maybe worth a late round pick up

I would think with is speed and position of need someone will nab him sooner.  I can't see one of the fastest guys in the combine going in the last round.

I am neither for or against but it is a position of need and in the latter rounds if he is there.  Why not.

Rounds 5-7 are projects anyhow.

From what I can tell on his  highlight video, he does not seem to play that fast.

Eh. There’s a clip vs Ohio State where he catches up to an under thrown pass by Barrett down the sideline. That’s pretty fast to my eye. Did you have any plays for example ?

Somewhere between 5th and 7th. I think he'd be a good fit for us.

We have been throwing Colin Jones out there for the past few years.. I don't see why we wouldn't let this kid play.

[KaseKlosed]

He is TOO SMALL. We making threads about undrafted safties now? 

[Ricky Spanish]

Converted to S from WR his senior year to get more playing time.

Not a natural at the position. 

Finds himself out of place often due to inexperience

Willing to tackle

He fast

Make-up of a lifer STer

6th-undrafted talent

He's certainly is not too small, but he may definitely go undrafted.

His frame is small and this dudes stats were NOT impressive enough to warrant a thread on him. This is sad. lol
