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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
