QB
Andrew Luck- Peyton Manning
And while yes Luck is more athletic, I don't think you will see him scramble as much in the NFL as he has at Stanford. In the pocket he is very similar to Peyton. He has similar arm strength. And the aforementioned cerebral part.
Robert Griffin III- Steve Young
RG3 and Young are both finess runners with good not great arms. Both have great accuracy. Both needed/will need developing.
Ryan Tannehill- Alex Smith
Athletes, successful in college. Not a franchise QB.
RB
Trent Richardson- Rashard Mendenhall
Mendenhall and Richardson are both power downhill runners. Neither can break off 60 yard runs, but are great pure runners. Jones-Drew is much more well rounded and much faster.
Lamar Miller- Clinton Portis
Super speedy, a little hesitent. Great triangle numbers.
Montee Ball- LaDanian Tomlinson
Touchdown monsters, well rounded, great cutting ability. Does not have Tomlinson's straight line speed.
Chris Polk- Willis McGahee
Workhorse with underated speed
David Wilson- Jamaal Charles
Great speed and cutting ability
LaMichael James- Barry Sanders
James is very similar to Sanders. And he runs with more power than guys like Darren Sproles. Is he Sanders caliber? No. But yes I would say he is a poor man's Sanders.
WR
Justin Blackmon- Dez Bryant
Great all around receivers but have concentration laspes. Similar athletes.
Alshon Jeffrey- Mike Williams (USC)
Questionable work ethic, but talent is there.
Kendall Wright- Mike Wallace
Great speed and route runners. Can make defenses pay.
Dwight Jones- Vincent Jackson
Can go up and make plays with great size and speed.
Michael Floyd- Larry Fitzgerald
Will make the touch catches all over the field.
TE
Dwayne Allen- Antonio Gates
Great blocker with great athleticism and receiving ability.
Coby Fleener- Heath Miller
Great blockers with subpar speed.
OL
Matt Kalil- Joe Thomas
Elite blind side protector, a bit light and worse in run blocking. Definitely not bad, just they are better at pass protecting.
David DeCastro- Logan Mankins
Great all around man handling guard with great technique.
Riley Reiff- Matt Light
Great technition who comes from Iowa and has the Patriots mold.
Johnathon Martin- Jeff Otah
Otah and Martin both struggle with speed rushers and are both very, very good run blockers.
DL
Quinton Coples- Julius Peppers
Talent is there, both have motors that run hot/cold.
Whitney Mercilus- Osi Umenyoria
Great speed rushers who have a knack for stripping the football.
Andre Branch- Jason Pierre Paul
Great all around defensive ends with similar size. Not quite the athlete that Pierre Paul is.
Melvin Ingram- Charles Johnson
All around defensive end with similar measureables.
Jerel Worthey- Corey Williams
Thick penetrators who can make plays. Questionable motor.
Fletcher Cox- Reggie White
Fletcher Cox 6'4 295 rumored to run a 4.6, tweener who can play defensive end or tackle. Reggie White 6'5 300 runs a 4.6, tweener who plays defensive end and tackle.
Devon Still- Jared Odrick
Still and Odrick are both penetrators. Colleges tend to recruit similar players to fit their scheme, and Still and Odrick are similar athletes who both are more suited as one gap penetrators.
Brandon Thompson- Brodrick Bunkley
Great run stoppers who have similar athleticism and potential as penetrators.
LB
Vontaze Burfict- Rey Maualuga
Bone head, but definitely has tried to change. And it has made him worse.
Luke Kuechly- Paul Posluzny
Technition and tackle machine who lacks the elite athleicism.
Courtney Upshaw- LaMarr Woodley
3-4 rush backers with great pass rushing.
Zach Brown- Patrick Willis
Similar athletes with great potential.
Donta Hightower- Rolando McClain
Similar measureables and ability coming out of Bama.
DB
Morris Claiborne- Champ Bailey
Great ball skills, coverage ability, and tackling.
Janoris Jenkins- Asaunte Samuel
Instinct players with great ball skills.
Dre Kirkpatrick- Malcom Jenkins
Might be better suited for safety, registered 0 picks this year.
Johnthan Banks- Nnamdi Asomugha
Watch him play. Always around the ball for a corner. Lots of turnovers this season.
Mark Barron- Darren Sharper
Great all around safety with good form and hard hitting ability.
