For the record, the population in Starr's hometown is 459. But the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year has put Little Rock, Iowa, on the NFL scouting map. An impressive showing last month at the East-West Shrine Game helped get the 6-foot-4¼, 250-pound linebacker a spot at next week's NFL combine in Indianapolis.

"I like him a lot," said one NFL scout. "He's tall, long and extremely athletic and plays with a high motor. I'd heard some chatter about him this fall and went to see him, and he's way more athletic than I thought he'd be. You still wonder if he has enough power and strength at the point of attack right now to be an every-down guy, but he really has a knack for rushing the passer and he has some real third-down value."

 

Word is, Starr should turn heads at the combine, not just for the long blonde hair that he hasn't cut since his freshman year at USD. Starr says he hass clocked a three-cone drill time of 6.29 in his training sessions in Tennessee. For comparison's sake, the fastest time in Indy last year was 6.52 by cornerback Will Davis from Utah. Oregon WR Jeff Maehl clocked a 6.42 in 2011, which the NFL considers its recent best. The fastest time by a linebacker last year was 6.71 by Mizzou's Zavier Gooden


 

This kid looks  to break a record in the 3 cone drill. For a LB that sounds crazy to me and show great burst. I know  the need for us at LB isn't there but,with chase making a little bit of money a move like this in th 4th 5th would help free up some cash. With A.J coming into his own this year he could easily start and we could be grooming a nice back player. With his size and pass rush ability he could probably be better suited for a 3-4 but we run some of those packages ourselves. Just a kid to watch come combine next week....

Trade up in the first and get him

Sent from my SCH-I545 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

 

Yeah that's a good idea. Post count literally means nothing. All this guy adds to Carolina Huddle is asinine bullshit.

 

Wouldn't it be cool if our 3 starting linebackers were Klein, Kuechly, Starr one day. 3 white guys ballin thus disproving the white guys cant ball thing. hell, luke already does that.

I really didn't think that we needed a LB when we drafted Luke Kuechly. Right now, I think that our LB core is one of the best in the league, although personally, I'd like to have a dominate, speedy, instinctive ROLB. Blackburn is good, steady and instinctive but I would like a little more speed. I think that Klein is coming along well but I haven't seen enough of him yet. If this guy is there in the 4th or later, I would probably pull the trigger. But I have no idea where we're going or what we're doing as of yet. Still waiting...

Greg Hardy?

 

You can't count Hardy as a late round gem because he went in the 6th round which is more like the mid-late rounds and he was a late bloomer with us as well not to mention he wasn't really drafted by us he was just selected at some point by some team that just happened to be us the facts are there man do your research #ERMAGERD!!!!

 

Please re-read with extra snarky sarcasm.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
