quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell B.J. Hill Jerseys Stitched , per a published report. The Giants are not, apparently, satisfied with Alex Tanney as Eli Manning’s backup, and are bringing in the two-time CFL champion QB for a workout with that role in mind. Mitchell lead the Calgary Stampeders to a pair of Grey Cups, earning the MVP in both title games — something he and Eli Manning have in common. The 28-year-old played college football in the United States, quarterbacking for SMU and Eastern Washington before going undrafted in 2012. Likely thought too small to play in the NFL, Mitchell is undersized at 6-foot-2, 198 pounds.That didn’t stop him from being named a CFL All-Star in 2016 and again in 2018, and was named the league’s “Most Outstanding Player” in each of those years. He also set records for most consecutive wins (14), best record for a first-year quarterback (12-1), and fastest QB to 60 wins (72 starts). As the QB for the Stampeders White Eli Manning Jerseys , Mitchell has a record of 69-15-2, has thrown for 24,468 yards (completing 64.6 percent of his passes), and scoring 150 touchdowns to 59 interceptions. The Giants aren’t the only team to have expressed interest in the Canadian quarterback, as he has reportedly worked out for the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars Denver Broncos and chicago Bears, with more workouts apparently to come.

Metcalf presents a rare skillset for the right teamMatt Bush-USA TODAY SportsThe draft community was expecting big things from Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf coming in to the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine. The fact that Metcalf was a bonafide physical freak was no secret among college football fans. He showed rare speed and explosive power on the football field, and was known as an athletic marvel since enrolling at Ole Miss. But things ramped up to another level after he practically broke twitter with a shirtless gym picture Eli Manning Jerseys 2019 , and expectations for the Combine were through the roof. And even so, his workout took analysts by surprise and had former NFL scout and NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah comparing him to a comic book character.Over the course of the offseason, the New York Giants reconstructed their receiving corps to feature undersized receivers who thrive in the short and intermediate areas of the field. However, they lack a distinct vertical threat to keep defenses from stacking the line of scrimmage. If he lasts long enough, could the Giants look to Metcalf in the middle of the first round to add another athletic freak to their offense?MeasurablesProsElite blend of size, athleticism, and strength.

Metcalf will likely be the first receiver drafted this year, and will likely be the top receiver on many boards, he isn’t a slam-dunk “blue chip” player like the top players at some other positions. Whichever team drafts Metcalf will have to do so knowing that he still needs development to reach his full potential as a player, and that there will be some routes and concepts that simply do not play to his strengths.At his best, Metcalf’s size White Odell Beckham Jerseys , speed, and explosive strength let him stretch the field and stress a defense vertically like few other receivers in this class can. And despite being an unpolished player, Metcalf is already a difficult receiver for corners to play in press-man coverage. He flashes quick hands at the line of scrimmage to prevent a firm jam, has the strength to run through early contact, and that long speed stresses any corner without great footwork and a smooth transition. That often forces defensive backs to respect his speed and allow a big cushion, which Metcalf can then exploit with surprising start/stop quickness. Metcalf tested very poorly in the short-shuttle and 3-cone drills, and that has been a bone of contention among the draft community. And while his limited lateral agility does limit the routes and concepts he can be effectively used in, Metcalf’s powerful lower body does allow him to stop suddenly and quickly work back to the ball. But to paraphrase what Stephen White said in his own breakdown of Metcalf, “Yeah, you want to him to be able to run the complete route tree well, but you don’t draft D.K. Metcalf to throw him a bunch of hitch routes Odell Beckham Jerseys 2019 , anyway. You draft him to flip the field.”Other than polish in the technical aspects of his route running, the major concern with Metcalf is his hands. He does suffer from concentration drops, trying to make a play before he has caught the ball. So far the Giants have built their passing game solely to work the middle of the field in the short to intermediate range, and hope for yards after the catch to generate big plays. That is where both Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate have historically thrived, and they have shown a definite preference for using Evan Engram in that area, as well as forcing Saquon Barkley to make up more than 100 percent of his total yardage after the catch. If the Giants want to add a vertical element to their offense and either force defenses to defend the whole field or exploit them when they don’t, Metcalf has incredible potential and a relatively high floor with the right development and scheming. If the Giants aren’t worried about having a vertical element in their offense and want to add a receiver who is a more detailed route runner and polished technician, they should look elsewhere. « NBA 2K - Each of the 2k devs this seasonNBA 2K - Offline mycareer is additional fun » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
