Thursday's Bowl Game Prospect Watch Thread...

[Snarfalicious]

I thought it would be advantageous to have a thread for us to discuss some of the prospects that will be playing today. There's quite a lot, and multiple from each team. I was going to create a list of "Prospects to Watch" with their stats and everything, but I decided to streamline it a bit and just include names, numbers, and which team they are on. Hope we can have a lengthy discussion...

I kept telling myself eventually the bowl games would get better and have more talent to watch. Alas, it's here.

[Pruke]

here's the guy I really want to see

#13 - OLB - Nigel Bradham - 6'3" 240


I would have thought he'd be ranked as a higher OLB, but I think his attitude would gel nicely with Miller for years to come.

Someone mentioned him in the 4th round as an option - maybe he'll last...

[Dodgers31296]

I wanna see Xavier Rhodes. We need a cb

Michael Floyd is a really good football player. He's big, athletic, and has good hands. He's also a very willing and aggressive blocker.

Does anyone know where the criticism against his character comes from?

Just kind of dumb stuff you do when you're young.

He was arrested for a DUI in 2010 and was charged with underage drinking the year before. Notre Dame opted to suspend him during their summer practices.

I don't want any other ND players on this team. Look at Claussen, Quinn, Harris, etc.

You don't want him just cause he's from Notre Dame?

[Snarfalicious]

Real nice play by Bradham to create the interception opportunity. Nice heads up play to get the arms up as the balls going over the middle.

[one5beast]

Nice force fumble by Teo

[Snarfalicious]

And now Te'o creates a fumble that is returned for a TD. 2 big plays early from the highlighted linebackers in this game. Good start for Bradham/Te'o.

[one5beast]

Teo would fit in well in orange and blue.

Just saw him do a salute

[xX-Bronco-Xx]

You put 4 freshmen linemen versus Notre Dame's defense? Child please.

The only thing stopping this team from greatness is the QB position.

Yep. I HATE ND & every can't miss prospect from ND since Tim Brown has been a bust
