Bottom Line
No, I didn’t penalize edge-rusher prospect Randy Gregory because of he failed drug test. He’s just one of those guys along with Dante Fowler that are getting more looks for their upside than pro-readiness. I’m not saying their not pro-ready at all, they just aren’t as pro-ready as the 10 guys on the list.
Another guy I can’t call pro-ready right now is Todd Gurley and that’s for no other reason than the injury. Being pro-ready is being able to start Week, 1 and I’m not sure he’ll be ready by then. Football in the NFL is extremely physical so you have to go in making sure that you are ready.
As much as you have to be able to do some things physically, that isn’t the whole of the game. You need to be able to understand the game in relation to what your role is with the team. And coming from a pro style system is a big help because you must understand pro Xs and Os to even get on the field.
So this is why these are my 10 most pro ready.
