Josh Allen has a message for the Cleveland Browns
Mayfield gave Murray a hug, essentially passing him Oklahoma’s quarterbacking torch. We saw Ateman pluck both a 50-50 ball and quick slant for red-zone scores, and he appears to have plenty of quickness to create throwing windows for his quarterback.
“It’s fun. He’s a fiery competitor”, Wyoming’s Allen said.
“Every year, we say”, the AFC director said. And they put him through the ringer, teaching him some of their offensive concepts and asking him to recall them an hour later. Allen needs a lot of refinement and a ton of reps. He said he had not decided whether he would play in the Senior Bowl game Saturday. This quarterback will throw a lovely back-shoulder fade and then throw a gutter ball into heavy traffic right after.
Western Kentucky’s Mike White, Richmond’s Kyle Lauletta, Washington State’s Luke Falk, Memphis’ Riley Ferguson, Troy’s Brandon Silvers and a few others at the position have chances to be drafted. We believe him, but there’s also no shame in him dominating in the red zone and winning over the middle – both fairly frequent occurrences this week.
His big goal for the week, he said: “Prove that I can belong”.
Baker Mayfield is an electrifying talent who is capable of hurting defenses with his arm and legs.
When all is said and done, the Broncos might know Mayfield and Allen about as well as they know the quarterbacks now on their roster, and that knowledge will allow them to make the most educated decision they could possibly make in regards to the future of the franchise.
Based on the short time he spent with reporters Tuesday, Rudolph seems to be a smart, credible option for Miami or any team looking to draft a quarterback.
It wasn’t the most consistent week of practices for Hand, but his flashes were impressive enough to put him this high on the list.
The most consistent receiver of the week however, was DaeShon Hamilton. He was one of the more versatile players down here this week as a pass rusher, linebacker and even playing some safety. “I just want to play. Isaiah Wynn is going to be a long-time starter in there at guard”. 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, tons of athleticism. When he watches video, he sees the need to do a better job of getting off blocks and keeping a lower pad level. An emotional player. I’ll do anything, whatever it takes to win. That’s terrific production from a defensive tackle.
Flipping it to the defensive side Stanford’s Harrison Phillips is a violent hand fighter as well. “Other passes went awry thereafter, in a scrimmage situation”.
-Which position unit has performed the best during practices this week? S Marcus Allen was steady in one-on-ones against tight ends. “They have the best coach in the country”. He’s built in a similar manner, like a running back. He’s very versatile, in terms of as a receiver and also a kick returner.
Southern Miss RB Ito Smith is tiny at 5-9, 195, but he is super elusive.
So when they were asked to coach in the Senior Bowl, the Broncos welcomed the opportunity to get the look that Elway got Tuesday, and that coach Vance Joseph and his staff already received in the first two days of the week-long showcase. To their credit a number of them held their own and showed they could perform against better competiion.
The big part of the week for National Football League people were the three days of practices and player interviews.
