Prospect Profile

In the final episode of the show before the draft on Thursday, Lawrence is joined by guest Nino Olivier (i_MiLK on Reddit and @NinoOlivier15 on Twitter) as we both bring forward our own mock drafts on what is going to happen in Round 1 on Thursday. We go over possible trade scenarios (including an earth shattering one from Lawrence), plan Bs for teams if that player isn't available, and the best remaining player left on the board after the 1st round ends. 

Episode 29 takes on Texas A&M center Erik McCoy, who had a couple of great games blocking against incredible competition in Alabama and Clemson and Iowa safety Amani Hooker who is one of the smartest, instinctual defensive players in the draft but has some athletic shortcomings that could really affect him in the NFL.

Episode 28 features San Diego State TE Kahale Warring, a former water polo player who has only played organized football for five years, yet has some of the biggest upside as a developmental prospect in this draft with his speed/separation, size, and technique that's already way ahead of his learning curve. We also talk Utah LB Cody Barton, a man coverage specialist with great positional instincts...but will some of his limitations relegate him to a rotational/special teams type?

On Episode 27, we finally tackle one of the 2019 draft class's most talked about prospects, QB Dwayne Haskins. Does Haskins warrant a first round pick being used on him, or is his value being inflated due to needs at the position? Then we talk about Notre Dame's Jerry Tillery and his ability to use his length and long arms to disorient and move interior linemen to get the QB but can he overcome some technique consistency issues that seem to plague him?

On Episode 26, Lawrence talks Nebraska wideout Stanley Morgan Jr. who may just be the best overall, polished route runner in this entire receiver class. Then, he analyzes lengthy Michigan St. CB Justin Layne who gives receivers fits in press coverage with his long arms but has some notable deficiencies in other types of coverage.

The latest Prospect Profile covers Michigan's Chase Winovich and how his arm usage, football IQ and sheer effort enable him to consistently disengage from blockers and create quarterback pressures and tackles for loss! Then, we go over Texas A&M RB Trayveon Williams and his great pass blocking ability and second level running, but will he be able to overcome some obvious tunnel vision and lack of strength between the tackles at the next level?

We finally wrap up NFL Combine coverage with Day 4 of the on field drills which saw the defensive backs show off some of their elite athleticism, such as Juan Thornhill's incredible jump out of the gym type of numbers on the vertical and broad jump. Lawrence also sums up the wild ride that has been the 2019 Combine as a whole at the end of the show and goes over some of the big standout moments from this year's event.

The third day of Combine coverage from Prospect Profile covers the DL and LB groups, featuring some testing results from Montez Sweat, Quinnen Williams, Devin White, and more that have to be seen to be believed! Will Jachai Polite recover from his really rough day at the combine? 

Prospect Profile continues with Day 2 of Combine coverage! Ole Miss's D.K. Metcalf having one of the best combines for a receiver his size in recent memory, the Iowa tight ends Fant and Hockenson absolutely dominating their position drills/athletic testing, some hilarious 2nd positions some prospects were asked to workout for, and much much more!

Lawrence covers the first day of on field drills at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine which saw running backs and offensive linemen participate and he goes over which guys did more for themselves and which guys hurt themselves.

Episode 20 of Prospect Profile covers the do everything, versatile Florida defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson who was all over the field for the Gators in a variety of different ways and how NFL teams are salivating at getting a player like him in the days of dynamic offenses. Then, Buffalo's towering QB Tyree Jackson has got the prototypical NFL arm strength and size coaches love, but will coaching be able to fix some of his evident mechanics issues that lead to some alarming accuracy issues?

This week, we cover the big physical NC State receiver Kelvin Harmon and how his ability to box out defenders with his size/strength makes him a constant threat to move the chains. We also cover Florida's Jachai Polite and how his lateral quickness is some of the best of all the edge defenders in this class while some of his "Run support issues" have been totally blown out of proportion and we debunk that on this episode.

In Episode 18, Lawrence discusses Ole Miss walk on tight end Dawson Knox and how he is a key example of "Scout the traits, not the college production" credo and what he could become if he reaches the potential offered by his physical tools. Then Lawrence dives into Central Michigan's Sean Bunting whose great length for a corner and his ability to jam up receivers is at times overshadowed by his lack of presence in run support.

Episode 17 treads through some serious territory when Lawrence covers Miss State's pass rushing DT Jeffery Simmons and his assault incident from high school that haunts his past. Will NFL general managers feel he's too much a PR risk to touch or will a gambling evaluator feel his upside is too much to pass on? Then, we cover stout, lengthy West Virginia offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste who seems like a rock solid late day 1/early day 2 pick!

For the second week in a row, Lawrence covers another college football all star game in the 2019 Senior Bowl! Listen to who he thought did well for themselves in the game and practices and improved their stock including Texas DL Charles Omenihu. Also included is a rant about a stretch of below average quarterback play throughout the game.

On this episode, Lawrence covers the 2019 East/West Shrine game! We talk about who stood out in the game and possibly upped their draft stock in the process.

Prospect Profile Episode 14 sees Lawrence go solo again as he covers the compact, contact loving running back Devin Singletary and how he makes up for his lack of explosiveness with his backfield vision and patience. Then, he goes into Michigan's Devin Bush and how his scary open field speed and ability to shoot through gaps and wrap up ball carriers is going to give some people nightmares on the the next level. 

Join us as Lawrence and Nino Olivier cover the College Football Playoff National Championship between Alabama and Clemson! We talk a ton of different matchups in the game such as the Clemson defensive line featuring top prospects Clelin Ferrell and Christian Wilkins vs the Alabama O-Line that features Jonah Williams and Ross Pierschbacher and the Bama trio of running backs, Clemson CB Trayvon Mullen vs Bama WR Jerry Jeudy, and how Trevor Lawrence the Clemson offense will deal with the dominance up front of Quinnen Williams and Raekwon Davis of Alabama. We also discuss some general draft talk and rising/falling stock of some prospects!  

Episode 12 is here! We talk Delaware safety Nasir Adderley and how his tackling, aggressiveness and ball skills could see him shoot up draft boards. Then, can North Dakota State QB Easton Stick possibly slip into a Day 2 pick with how weak this QB class is?

Prospect Profile Episode 11 covers under the radar FCS receiver Keelan Doss, who flashes a myriad of NFL ready traits that could actually make him one of the best receiver prospects in this class regardless of where he went to school. Then, we cover the undersized but dangerous, speedy and crafty Florida State pass rusher Brian Burns who also finds himself making plays in the run game, bolstering his stock further.

In the latest Prospect Profile, Lawrence gets back to the defensive secondary and covers lengthy Penn State corner Amani Oruwariye and lauds his ability to use his long arms and size to disrupt receivers and continuously make plays on the ball. Then, he discusses 6'5" 250+lb tight end Kaden Smith of Stanford and his impressive ability to climb the ladder and high point balls in contested situations in the middle of the field.

On Episode 9 of Prospect Profile, Lawrence first covers Ohio State's DT Dre'Mont Jones and talks about his athleticism that allows him to close in on quarterbacks and ball carriers fast, but how his lack of strength and below average footwork will affect his NFL stock. Then he covers Boston College's Chris Lindstrom, who Lawrence feels is one of the most pro ready offensive linemen prospects in the draft who really made an impression against Clemson's NFL caliber defensive line. 

We have a special guest host on Episode 8 as Lawrence is joined by Nino (Known as Reddit user i_MiLK, please check out his draft analysis on his user page or the NFL Draft Subreddit!) and we discuss Memphis RB Darrell Henderson and how his second level explosiveness is going to possibly land him as a day 1 starter, as well as Alabama LB Mack Wilson and how his coverage ability and general athletic ability allowing him to cover sideline to sideline will make him a surefire first round pick and starting LB for many possible teams. 

On the latest Prospect Profile, Lawrence raves about the hard hitting, ball hawking University of Virginia safety Juan Thornhill and how well he's been able to adapt to being a full time safety from being a hybrid corner/safety in just one season and thrive in that role. Ryan Finley, the much hyped before the season QB from NC State is discussed and Lawrence explains how he feels Finley's pro potential is capped by a few major flaws in his QB play.

Prospect Profile Episode 6 is here, and we talk about the powerful, but extremely raw FBS sack leader Jaylon Ferguson of Louisiana Tech. Then we go over Arizona State's tall, big bodied receiver N'Keal Harry and how he uses his size to dominate one on one 50/50 ball situations but falls short in some areas of getting separation. 

This week, Lawrence finally covers the tight end position as he talks about Iowa's Noah Fant, the absolute mismatch machine giving defenses fits on the college level and how he will be able to carry that success over to the NFL. Then he discusses Washington's Byron Murphy, the physical presence at corner who always seems to be getting his hands on the ball. Can he overcome his smallish frame at the next level?

Prospect Profile gets down and dirty in the trenches this weeks as Lawrence covers the blue collar, 5th year senior pass blocking extraordinaire Dalton Risner of Kansas State and explains how his off the field contributions will only help his pro prospects. And on the other side of the line, Lawrence talks about the big time potential of Houston's star Defensive Tackle Ed Oliver and addresses some of the arguments about his size for the NFL.

Lawrence covers the high upside, speedy pass rusher Josh Allen out of Kentucky and the elusive running back David Montgomery out of Iowa State on this week's episode!

Myself (Lawrence) and first guest ever and Pac-12/USC enthusiast Andrew (Twitter @Andrewskii) discuss the two ends of the quarterbacking spectrum in the Pac-12 with the young freshman gunslinger JT Daniels of USC, and the number one quarterback prospect in the nation Justin Herbert of Oregon, as well as swiss army knife defensive prospect Jalen Jelks of Oregon. We also get into the Heisman race as an end of show bonus!

Lawrence takes you on a journey into evaluating college football prospects in the premier episode of Prospect Profile, where he goes over the breakout season so far of University of Colorado receiver Laviska Shenault, and the under the radar career of ball hawking cornerback Jimmy Moreland out of the FCS school James Madison!
