Derrick Washington, RB, Tuskegee (APD)

While the Tuskegee pro-day takes place later this afternoon, the teams star running back, Derrick Washington, actually participated in Troy State’s pro-day yesterday.
Washington timed in the 4.6’s after tipping the scale at 226-pounds. He posted marks of 31.5-inches in the vertical jump, 9′-3” in the broad and 19-reps on the bench. Washington will also participate in position drills during pro-day at Tuskegee today.
Many may remember Washington from his days at Missouri, when he looked like a promising NFL prospect. His college career was eventually derailed by a sexual assault allegation, which eventually sent him to jail for four month. He made a triumphant return to the field this season posting 1679-yards rushing with 14 touchdowns at Tuskegee.
The New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots are showing a lot of interest in Washington.

Thanks for the additions. I have no idea where they got those from I just knew if I found one link and started a thread people would add to it. In past years there's already been a thread for this.

No, great idea. It's just I never heard about some of those during the combine. Travis Kelce is very interesting. We need to consolidate the lists on a regular basis (maybe twice a week or so). Do you want to do it, or would you like me too?

Kelce is really interesting at the end of the 3rd but with other needs and already having the players we do....

Either way. I'll do it when I can but feel free and we can just keep it going.

Patton, Hopkins and Poyer are the ones that interest me at positions of most need. Patterson is going to be out of reach.

 

[jsull87]

Seems to be a trend at WR and OT at the moment for what it's worth.

The picture should clear up more as FA gets going.

One of Sciz's favourites.

Reportedly the New England #Patriots have scouts at the Wisconsin Badgers' Pro Day. Notable prospects: Frederick, Ricky Wagner, Devin Smith.

https://twitter.com/Ethanhamm/status/309407122590949378

Something to think about: #Patriots also reportedly talked to OT Ricky Wagner at the Combine. Second contact, at the very least.

Also Eastern Washington for presumably Brandon Kaufman.

#Patriots also one of FOUR teams at the Northern Arizona Pro Day.

I bet that the #Patriots were looking at Austin Shanks at Northern Arizona. Fits their WR MO. Also possibly Jake Hess at LB.

Probably TJ Moe, but don't rule out Zavier Gooden. Would be an excellent special teamer with some upside as a coverage LB. Had a very good combine (4.7 40, 6.71 3-cone).

Analysis

Strengths

Speedy Will linebacker who attacks quickly when he gets a clear picture, closing in a hurry to attack plays in the backfield. Follows play action between the tackles then goes to the flat to take away the running back. Fluid hips, and his good change-of-direction ability is also useful over the middle against backs, tight ends, and slot receivers. Clicks-and-closes to make the tackle quickly once the ball is thrown. Takes on blocks from tight ends and fullbacks, stays moving to the ball while engaged and sheds to make the play. Gets under their shoulder to get leverage and contain. Solid wrap-up tackler in the open field, with good length for his size and an aggressive attitude to bring the ball carrier to the ground. Also strong enough to lower his pads and stop the forward momentum of piles. Utilizes his speed to hustle downfield regularly. He’ll contribute heavily on special teams coverage units.

Weaknesses

Possesses only average overall size. Backpedal is really stilted and he bends at the waist to make tackles instead of bending his knees. Primarily reads back flow and can be hesitant or get caught false-stepping when he doesn’t get a clear picture. His aggressiveness can take him out of plays on occasion, as he’ll head into the backfield as running backs run past through the hole. Hasn’t been used as a pass rusher often, and doesn’t win hand battles at the line with linemen and running backs. Not a schematically diverse player, will be limited to just the weakside linebacker spot for 4-3 teams.

NFL Comparison

Justin Durant

Bottom Line

Gooden has the speed to cover a lot of ground at the next level, as well as surprising strength and form tackling to bring down big ball carriers in the open field and handle himself in traffic. Injuries hampered his senior season, but that combination of attributes helped him lead the Tigers in tackles as a junior (85, 7.5 for loss, three sacks) and should allow him to earn a top-100 grade as a potential starter on the weak side of the formation. Even if he doesn’t immediately earn a spot as a starter, he should be a valuable contributor on special teams while being groomed as a linebacker.

Well, they have two question marks at RB currently in Woodhead and Demps. Woodhead as to whether or not he'll re-sign and Demps as to whether Football will be a higher priority than running track.. I don't find this surprising at all.

#Patriots have a private workout lined up with USF cornerback Kayvon Webster, according to reports. Webster is a burner

.

Ran an official 4.41 at the combine (unofficial 4.35). He's 5'10".

I'm a big David Bass fan. If they can snatch him up in the later rounds I'd be very happy about it. Giant sleeper potential right there.

Haven't even looked at RBs this season. Might have to look at some late rounders - there's obvious interest there.

Edit: Had a quick look ay Maysonet. there's a bit of Woodhead there. Small guy, won't make many yards on his own but spots and explodes through holes well.
