NFL Draft Zone interviews K.K.


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Just gathering a little insight into our new second rounder.  Don't be surprised if he turns out to be just as prolific as many believe Star is going to be.

Just one of the several questions:

 

 

If you could compare your play to someone in the NFL, who would it be?

BJ Raji- Packers

 

 

 

Aha! Great expectations.

Kawann Short was just a three-star prospect ranked as No. 24 defensive tackle nationally and No. 6 player in Indiana by Scout.com coming out of high school, but a lot has changed since his high school days.  After a tremendous junior and senior year for the Boilermakers, Kawann is being labeled by some media outlets as the prize possession in the draft.  I have to agree with them, because of his motor and range.  This kid is a very solid run stuffer and has the wheels to penetrate the middle of the field.  I am a huge fan of Kawann and believe that Carolina Panthers could have the best defensive tackle in the draft.

How many teams were recruiting you coming out of high school and how did you make your decision?

Purdue was my first offer. I committed and then they all started coming after that… I always wanted to stay in state and Purdue was the best fit for me.

Who was your favorite NFL team growing up, and did you have a player you rooted for?

Bears, and Albert Haynesworth was the guy that I wanted to portray.

At your position, how do you break down film, please inform our readers what you look for when breaking down film?

I start off by watching key tendencies with the guys I am going against that game. I meet with my position coach one on one which is my choice.

Do you consider yourself a quiet leader or an outspoken role model?

I’m definitely a quiet leader.

If you could take one day back and erase it from your past what day would you erase?

None, they all happen for a reason.

Do you have any hobbies, if so tell the world what it is?

I usually shoot hoops in my spare time and hang out with the guys.

Who was the toughest player you have ever played against?

Travis Fredrick- Wisconsin.

What is the best accolade/award you have ever received from playing football?

The all American.

If it was your last meal, what would you eat?

Shrimp scampi.

Before the game, what song might I hear on your ipod?

Lil wayne- man I miss my dawg

Do you have any pre game rituals?

Smart water and my lil wayne song at least 5 times.

If you could pick out your biggest weakness what would it be?

Consistency.

If you could compare your play to someone in the NFL, who would it be?

BJ Raji- Packers

What is the most tragic event in your life that has happened and how did you bounce back?

When I had to bury my uncle the day of a game in high school. I just ran on the court and gave it my all and had a great game.

Everyone asks this question but I’m curious to know what will you buy first with your first NFL pay check?

I’m gonna buy my mother a new house.

If you could meet one person, dead or alive who would it be and why?

I would like to meet my father, he passed away when I as a couple months old.

Seems like a solid guy

Love that he would love to meet his father. I think that was an excellent answer and bodes well for us and his future as a Panther.

Cannot wait for training camp to get here. I think the rotation on the DLine will be infectious and competitive and with Luke, Beason and TD cheering them on, man, I am looking forward to this.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
