Methodtoll's Guys to Watch Out For

Quarterbacks

Pat White, West Virginia : Will he we a QB or a WR? White told the NFL Network that he does not want to work out with the receivers yet remain with the QBs so we'll see.

Josh Freeman, Kansas State: Will he be first round talent? Or we'll he fall to the second? He has the arm strength and the mobility but does he have the accuracy?

Graham Harrell, Texas Tech: The biggest issue facing Harrell is his arm strength. He has had a lot of time between the Senior Bowl and today to work on it so it will be interesting to see how much improvement he has made.

John Parker Wilson, Alabama: Not a lot of talk about this guy out of Alabama but he is on my sleeper list. He is a game manager and IF the Panthers were to select a QB somewhere in this draft (once again, it will all depend on what we do with Peppers) then Wilson wouldn't be a bad guy to compete with Moore.

Runningbacks

Rashad Jennings, Liberty- I'll admit that I haven't paid any attention to the runningbacks this season but I re-watched the Senior Bowl one guy that stood out to me was Rashad Jennings. I know the Panthers might not need another RB since we already have a talented tandem but it wouldn't hurt to look for a third down guy since it looks to be that Goings is done in Carolina. Jennings gave an excellent performance.

Kory Sheets, Purdue : Another guy that kind of impressed me at the Senior Bowl was Kory Sheets. Ran very well, found the holes good and could be a good guy on third downs.

Chris Ogbonnaya, Texas: A FB/HB hybrid from Texas, Ogbonnaya was a guy that really impressed me during his tenue at Texas, especially against a powerhouse like Oklahoma. Look at him as a younger, more athletic version of Goings.

Next up Wide Receivers.

Wide Receivers

Kenny Britt- Rutgers: Referring back to the Senior Bowl, Britt gave an outstanding performance. Him and Wallace were probably the best receivers at the Senior Bowl. We'll see what he can do today at the Combine. Big guy as well.

Juaquin Iglesias: Was a talented receiver for Oklahoma and could be a good fit for any team.

Mohamed Massaqoui Now this is one guy that I know about well! Talented receiver that was overshadowed by freshman A.J. Green. Would really be a good fit for the slot and also can help out on STs.

Other WRs to Watch For:

Jarrett Dilliard, Rice

Aaron kelly. Clemson

Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster, N. Carolina

Mike Wallace, Ole Miss

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
