He plays fast, and hits hard. Reminds me of a guy, albeit different positions, I use to see in all those shampoo commercials.

I thought the same. Farewell is epic, but also very expensive for a pure ST player. Lotu looks like legit competition there, and a better linebacker in a pinch.

Thanks for that. Two things though.

1. Bleacher Report blows.
2. Here is another "scouting report" by the same columnist you linked above.
LINKY

Did you atually read that scouting report? He wasn't wrong on anything and was actually very complimentary about Wilson.

Did you? A few things he stated had merit, but to say that he wasn't wrong on ANYTHING is asinine.

his footwork in the pocket is a major work in progress. He doesn't keep a real natural base, fails to consistently stay balanced and routinely bounces up and down in order to see over the line of scrimmage

He will likely be a career backup and looks like a mid-to-late round pick

I understand that it was a early analysis and no one had the hindsight to envision Russell doing what he did. I just found it hilarious that one would list any "columnist" from the BR as a credible source for a scouting report. It is widely known that anything BR related should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think Bailey and Polk will surprise people.

Jumping up and down to see over the line? LOLZ! Apparently throwing lanes are a foreign concept to Mr. Wes Bunting.
