Jones lacking burst and athleticsm

[sdhusky]

"Scouts seem to agree that he has the size and instincts to compete at the next level but is lacking in overall burst and athleticism.

And scouts are never wrong about players.

Very Palatine of you to start your own thread about this.

Has anyone, ever, in the history of scouting said "scouts are never wrong about players"?

There is wrong. And then there is this.

Until Balis got ahold of him, he could only jump 9'3"...

What is "this"?

Head Coach a Diaco called it at the beginning of the seasn:


"I think he (byron jones) will be one of the best players in the country," Huskies coach Bob Diaco said last summer. "Everyone will see it eventually when they put him in those compression shorts [at combines]. You will see a tall, long, lean and fast and explosive and athletic player. His numbers, with our developmental process, you are going to see at the end of the day one of the best tangibly gifted cornerback players in the country."

I'm not sure you would understand. Try reading the quote again. See if you see anything that might be really weird.

Well, it is a good sign that Diaco could recognize his ability right away.

A waste of bandwidth.

Oh, it's just another douchey sdhusky thread.

Didn't you stop following the team?

Didn't you stop following the team?

FWIW, it was a legit question. There is a difference between football burst and a broad jump performed in spandex. So I don't know if the scouts were necessarily wrong about their assessment yet. Renaldo Nehimiah was a world class sprinter but a lousy WR.

You just went straight to mode because that's what comes natural to you.

Good for Uconn and him!

Regardless of what they scouts think Byron just guaranteed himself a spot to be drafted. He may have been on the bubble of seven rounds. He no longer is

 

[ktuck911]

I feel his spot will be at S. That's where he will excel, as well as on special teams

Love this clip on NFL Network on him:

The NFL prefers the block "C".

How will this combine help us win games next season?

 

[Stainmaster]

How will this combine help us win games next season?

It won't in the slightest. Some of us are just happy that a former Husky/team captain just got a lot closer to playing on Sundays.

Couldn't hurt recruiting for the future, maybe not next season though.

Well the quotes by the scouts said he had size and instincts. If jumping over 12 feet and 44 inches isn't burst then what is ?

Oh I am too. But some people choose to celebrate in the douchiest way possible.
