ball balls deep delivered highly juice push touch unorthodox
For such an unorthodox push delivery, he delivered it real well today, highly accurate. He had a little more juice on the ball and a better touch on the deep balls than I expected.
draft emphasis higher speed spots teams
Teams want more speed at all 11 spots and the emphasis is getting to the quarterback. If you have that skill, you're going higher in the draft than ever before.
best eric felt gone happened left season senior short speed struggled tackle tape
It felt like on tape that Eric struggled with speed all season long and the same thing happened at the Senior Bowl. He's got short arms. I think he's gone from a high-level first-round left tackle to at best a second-round right tackle.
ability few high level pass pocket push question weeks whether
I think he'll be there at 12. A few weeks ago I wouldn't have said that. But there's been some question on whether he can push the pocket as a pass rusher. There's also a question about his ability to play at a high level every down.
best football guy happen help player sitting team tennessee worry
Sitting at No. 1, you think what football player is going to help us be the best team we can be, and we can't worry about what Tennessee does. If we happen to take the guy they want, and it's the guy we want, that's even better. But we can't worry about it.

couple depending groom kid next somebody start whether year
Now is the time, or next year is the time, depending on whether or not a kid catches their eye. They have to start to groom somebody for a couple years down the road, I agree.

I think the best-case scenario is late first round. But I'm not sure that's happening.

I thought that visual summed up what kind of kid he is. Here is a guy who was handed everything and he continues to throw it away.
start thinking time
I think it's time to start thinking about that, I agree.

He's been living it, breathing it, sleeping it since he was a high school kid.
