I Just Moved This Minor League Baseball Security Guard To The Top Of My 2022 NFL Draft Big Board

Linebacker is becoming one of the toughest positions to draft for in the modern NFL. You need to be big enough to stop the run while being fast enough to cover tight ends and running backs out of the backfield. It’s such a rare skillset that when you see a prospect capable of captaining a defensive unit in the middle of the field, you have to scoop that guy up. And this WooSox security guard is what we in the scouting business refer to as “generational.”

There’s making tackles and then there’s making plays. This was a play. You can see the leadership oozing through your finger-smudged screen. Head up, lead with the shoulder, pop right up and get back to the huddle. This is what we identify as a “green dot player” as he’s going to be calling all the plays for your defense for the next decade. Everyone on that field followed his lead, his footsteps, they march to the beat of his drum. Plus he’s from Central Mass so he hasn’t felt pain in decades. I see his floor at the next level as an Ed Reed/Ray Lewis hybrid type.
