Asante Samuel Jr Scouting Report
Asante Samuel Jr, the ballhawk cornerback from Florida State, has been brought up a ton in pre-draft conversations. His draft stock has stirred up tons of arguments surrounding how good he really is. This may, in part, be due to the fact that his dad is Asante Samuel, 2 time Superbowl champion and a 4-time pro bowler.

Zaven Collins Scouting Report
Zaven Collins, the Tulsa linebacker and Bednarik and Nagurski (both given to the nation’s top defensive player) award winner has proven that he has the potential to be a top 3 linebacker in this class. While Micah Parsons and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah headline this year’s top linebackers, there are some sleepers near the bottom. Many teams picking toward the end of the first round as well as teams with early second-round picks have expressed lots of interest in Collins. He gives strong run support which lots of NFL teams would benefit from. His tackling and size also give him great tools that he can use to his advantage in the NFL. While his size does come the cost of speed and fluidity moving around his zone. He can’t navigate his zone as well as many would want him to, which leaves some open holes that are easily taken advantage of. Without this flaw, Collins has proved his worth, and it is kind of surprising to see that he is rarely talked about as we get closer to the draft.
