one of the things that I love that you
0:01
do is the player comps and there's a lot
0:03
of people that spit out player comps but
0:04
they're usually kind of they're tough
0:06
for me to get to because they're
0:08
dangerous historic comps you know always
0:11
a dynamic player not always realistic i
0:14
don't think you reach with your player
0:15
comps let's do a few of those speaking
0:17
of Genty who's a running back that you
0:19
can see him as a comp to yeah you know
0:22
play style that we have not seen in a
0:25
while obviously this player had a tough
0:26
exit from the league but it's Ray Rice
0:29
to me in terms you just watch Ray Rice
0:31
coming out of Ruckers that low to the
0:33
ground style constantly having defenders
0:35
fall off of him there's not a lot of
0:37
running backs that are that dense and at
0:40
that size a shorter player where they
0:42
run with such low to the ground leverage
0:45
that was the name that you know came to
0:47
me right away some people like Maurice
0:49
Jones Drew i wasn't there yet with Genty
0:51
um you know obviously Ray Rice his early
0:53
years with the Ravens had some out of
0:55
thisworld production in terms of both as
0:58
a receiver and a runner and just the way
1:00
he was able to have tacklers fall off of
1:02
him i think Genty's play style is very
1:05
similar to the prospect Rice was coming
1:07
out of Ruckers cam Ward this is a
1:10
tougher one i've talked to some people
1:13
about this that bring up a throwback
1:15
name like a Steve McNair i don't It's
1:18
hard to land on one for Cam i think that
1:21
his you know when you look at the low
1:24
end comp it's Tyrod's best seasons where
1:27
Tyrod did such a good job extending
1:29
plays throwing the ball down the field
1:32
making plays on the run but Cam's got
1:34
more juice in his arm he can alter the
1:36
arm angles he can rip the ball into
1:38
tight windows he's not a runner but a
1:41
scrambler that can kind of reset the
1:44
pocket move the pocket he is very very
1:46
tough he is a great leader it's a really
1:49
really tough one to land on for Cam so
1:51
the highest end of Tyrod Taylor but I
1:53
think he's gonna be a better player than
1:54
that let's talk about Travis Hunter in
1:58
terms of a comp do you prefer going with
2:00
a corner comp or a wide receiver comp i
2:03
have a wide receiver one that I love and
2:04
this is the richest one I wrote out for
2:07
I would say the hundred comps I'll end
2:09
up doing you know I published about 18
2:11
of them for NBC today oo Chad Johnson as
2:15
a wide receiver and it is dangerous when
2:17
you compare a guy that had seven seasons
2:20
topping a thousand yards receiving
2:22
number one Hunter is that kind of talent
2:23
at the position these guys are slender
2:26
they have enough height they are twitchy
2:29
not fast they're not always looking to
2:31
run over the top of you a lot of people
2:32
forget Oo wasn't a 43 44 pre-draft kind
2:36
of guy hunter didn't run i don't think
2:38
he would have ran in the 4-3s or the 44s
2:40
i don't think it matters i think the
2:41
agility is off the charts the route
2:43
running is dangerous and they got ball
2:45
skills they don't need to be 6'4 to take
2:47
away the football win the ball in the
2:48
air feels like they hang in the air
2:50
forever i see Travis Hunter as that Chad
2:52
Johnson Bengals version and Abdul Carter
2:56
yeah so this one to me is kind of ironic
2:58
because it's he's probably going to the
3:00
Giants and he reminds me of a player
3:01
that plays for the Giants and Brian
3:03
Burns they're 250 lb edge rushers that
3:06
they win the exact same way it's speed
3:08
off the edge how much can I set you up
3:11
with that ability off the ball off the
3:13
edge then you start to set too wide okay
3:15
now I can hit you with a spin move
3:16
inside or I can cross your face they
3:18
play bigger than their 250 pound weight
3:20
a lot of the great edge rushers in the
3:22
NFL can play closer to 260 it doesn't
3:25
matter for these guys and the last thing
3:27
is you just look at the closing speed
3:29
there's a difference between disruptors
3:31
and play finishers these guys are play
3:33
finishers they don't just disrupt the
3:35
quarterback their closing speed and
3:37
pursuit speed is elite you got to
3:39
remember Burns ran a 96 percentile
3:41
40-yard dash if Carter was healthy and
3:43
tested he would have done the same thing
3:44
he would have been a four five-ish
3:46
mid-45s kind of guy they know how to
3:48
finish plays and sack the quarterback
3:49
sacks get you paid at the next level see
3:51
I love this we're not talking about oh
3:53
he's LT he's Michael Strahan he's Brian
3:55
Burns that feels like a very realistic
3:57
comp which is why I love when you do
3:58
these comps i'm like I can see
