"superstar"?

good for him, but superstar in XFL is at best backup in NFL. 

people play in XFL (or any other "professional" league) because they can't cut it in NFL.

If you run "superstar" through Google Translate for SpecialJuanese -> English, it means he had at least 2-3 tackles in his XFL career.

ANTWUAN JACKSON DT OHIO STATE | 2023 NFL DRAFT PROFILE AND SCOUTING REPORT
 
Strengths: Short, stumpy build so he typically wins the leverage battle. When he does so, Chapman can be tough to move, even showing the ability to handle double-teams.
 
Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
 
Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
 
Lacks the size to compete as a traditional defensive tackle and is a projection to any other position.
 
Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).
 
 
Weaknesses: Might be limited to one-gap systems. Agility isn't a question but misses tackles when he doesn't square and break down.
 
Only adequate burst off the snap even when directly over the ball, and his initial pop leaves room to be desired.
 
Hands could be much more violent when trying to gain control of the block. Does not hold his ground while facing a double-team; first instinct is to roll away to make a play, which can create a large hole.
 
Has limited range and is more of a run-stuffer who won't make many plays in the backfield - a mid-round, prospect who should be able to offer depth along the defensive line in any scheme.
 
Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.

I think superstar was an embellishment by Juan

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
