Bacot on UNC sprained his ankle and is set to play against Kansas in the National Title game, and he visibly rolled it and walked/played on that ankle a few minutes after rolling it against Duke. Stingley Jr did not just simply sprain his ankle and clearly did not just go back into the game and basically missed the rest of the entire season. "said Saturday morning he suffered a torn ligament in his left foot -- a Lisfranc injury " https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33428616/cb-derek-stingley-jr-recovering-lisfranc-injury-work-combine A torn ligament is not a little deal and is not a sprained ankle, and maybe I am blowing it out of proportion but honestly you might be doing the opposite of that. He sprained his ankle in 2020… He had a lisfranc injury in 2021, but the initial injury happened in camp and he played 3 games on the injured until it got worse and he had to end his season.

Either way both were so bad he had to stop playing football, no clue how that is a good thing to have happen. Will be interesting if he runs at the pro day though and if so how he times out. With this 4.3 talk around, anything well over that is a disappointment as well as anything lower than 35"+ vertical along with some times in the 3 cone and broad jump.

I think those numbers might be a bit optimistic for someone who only recently just started running again. He already ran a 4.30 forty in high school. He is definitely capable of those numbers, but he’s probably going to need more time to rebuild his conditioning and muscle mass. I wouldn’t be surprised if he only does CB drills.

Honestly I don’t know enough about Ed McCaffery for that comparison. He is definitely not Cooper Kupp because he’s not even close to being on the same level as a route runner. What are you trying to get at? Like Decker and Nelson though he is 6’3” and roughly the same weight. He works the sideline using his speed and can get off press in a similar way to Jordy Nelson. He’s a dominant jump ball WR like Eric Decker is who has really good body control in the air and holds on to the ball through contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most year Pierce would probably be a late 1st round WR, but this year WR is so deep especially with the big school prospects that he could get pushed into the 3rd round.

I really really like Alec pierce and would be all about Vikings drafting him day 2 somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a great return man and a legit slot corner with high upside, tough tackler for his size also. Curious if his teammate Logan Hall did the bench press, cannot find any numbers for that Houston Pro day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of times, Vikings will bring in players on top 30s where they don't have the complete book on them. In Jones' case, I think they want a medical re-check with him. Jones is super small, but a pitbull on receivers. He's definitely a pure slot. I don't think Vikings would look at him until day 3, but I think they want to clear him first with the medical recheck on the top 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
