Ozzy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Kid looks like a damn playmaker! Solid in coverage, can fly around and make plays on the football. Good closing speed and has good athletic ability for sure, could be an awesome pickup as a potential ILB and might be Brothers could be on his way out in the future especially with his recent suspension for the 1st four games.

wcblack34 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Looks like he plays a LOT faster than 4.85. Looks like a standout special teams player with potential for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thought I had. We could cut Brothers if need be, or keep him inactive even after the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have not watched Cal play a ton last year, but Downs highlights are impressive, kid is causing fumbles, getting INTs, getting tackles for loss and is really active. Will be very interesting how he does and honestly Brothers has disappointed after coming out as this super tackling machine from the SEC, has done not much on the team so far. Could be a great pickup late at a need position I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 With the 225th pick, the Minnesota Vikings made their seventh-round selection, selecting the 6’3”, 245-pound native of Mountlake Terrace, Washington, whose stellar collegiate career was cut short during his senior season because of injury. Downs led the Bears with a career-high 84 tackles during his junior year in 2016 and was in the running for Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year prior to his 2017 injury in a game against Washington State. He received Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors in two of Cal’s first three games last season and was nominated as a team captain for the remainder of the season between the team’s sixth and seventh games. http://www.dailycal.org/2018/04/28/devante-downs-selected-minnesota-vikings-7th-round-2018-nfl-draft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krauser Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 He has a knee injury so all he did was the bench press. I don’t have insider, does it say where that number comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 There’s nothing listed as far as I can see. NFL Draft Scout anticipated his average time to be 4.82, but that’s it. There’s also this from NDS on Downs. 12/06/17 - 2017 ALL-PAC-12 FOOTBALL HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): LB Devante Downs, Sr.,...Was making a strong case for National and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors through the first half of his 2017 senior campaign before suffering an injury against Washington State in the seventh contest of the season that ended his collegiate career...Was on watch lists for the Chuck Bednarik Award and the Lott IMPACT Trophy both honoring the nation's top defensive player as well as The Butkus Award given annually to the nation's best linebacker...Named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week twice in his first three games after victories over North Carolina and Ole Miss to give the Golden Bears their first two-time winner of the award since Mike Mohamed in 2010. Despite missing five-plus games finished his senior campaign second on the team with 65 tackles while adding a career-high 5.5 tackles for loss (career-high -29 yards), career-high-tying 3.0 sacks (career-high-tying -14 yards), a career-high-tying and team-high-tying two interceptions that he returned for a career-high 39 yards, a career-high and team-high four quarterback hurries, a career-high and team-high-tying two fumble recoveries that he returned for a career-high four yards and a career-high and team-high-tying two forced fumbles...Finished the regular season ranked tied for 23th nationally with two fumble recoveries. - Cal Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That above kind of sounds like EJ Henderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I really think this kid is a perfect example of the type of value we found. Without that injury, he'd probably be in the fourth or fifth round. Not the seventh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I wonder if we can stash him on the PS or maybe a PUP initially because of coming back from the torn ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
