Running Back Notes
RB Michael Carter, North Carolina (5’8”, 201, 4.50) Improved his efficiency last year but was also a starter in 2019 and rotated in before that. Was part of a committee in college and will probably do that in the pros as well because of his below-average size. Doesn’t have elite speed or explosiveness but isContinue reading “Running Back Notes”
Defensive Back Notes
DB Tyree Gillespie, Missouri (6’0”, 207, 4.42) Has been starting for three years, although he did not record an interception over the course of his 27 starts.

Impressive pass protector who stays balanced and has the lateral quickness to mirror effectively against speed.Continue reading “Offensive Tackle Notes”

DE Joe Tryon, Washington* (6’5”, 262)
Background: Rotated into the defense as a freshman, finishing with 20-2.0-1.0. Stepped into the starting lineup the following year, putting together an impressive 41-12.5-8.0 line in what ended up being his final season; decided to opt out of the 2020 campaign and declare for the draft. Positives: Was highly productive in his only season asContinue reading “DE Joe Tryon, Washington* (6’5”, 262)”
