NJTank Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Kellen Winslow II of Miami will be a star in the NFL and will revoltionize the TE position. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznit1083 Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 I agree that he will be a star, but I doubt he will revolutionize the position. He lacks great run blocking skills and his pass blocking need some work as well, especially considering the kaliber of d ends in the league now. A great tight end is not only a receiver, but he must block just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 3 Studs-Eli Manning, Ole Miss (if nothing else, he has great pedigree)Roy Williams, TexasTeddy Lehman, Oklahoma3 Duds-Jason White, OklahomaPhilip Rivers, N.C. State (sorry, Pack fans, but I'm going with him on my dud list. The ACC has had some draft duds in the past that were highly touted, a la Chris Weinke and Danny Kanell.)John Navarre, Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Isn't it amazing that the NFL draft is really the only one we actually get worked up about? I put Jason White on my dud list for a couple of reasons...1) He's got bad knees. NFL DE's & LB's will go for his knee like crazy.2) Heisman winners have general not done well in the NFL the last few years. Just to prove a point, all the Heisman winners from the last ten years (starting with Carson Palmer)...2002: Carson Palmer-don't know yet2001: Eric Crouch-currently retired, therefore he's a dud2000: Chris Weinke-so far, dud1999: Ron Dayne-dud1998: Ricky Williams-stud; one of the NFL's best backs1997: Charles Woodson-stud1996: Danny Wuerffel-dud1995: Eddie George-stud1994: Rashaan Salaam-stud, then complete dud1993: Charlie Ward-stud... for the NEW YORK KNICKSTherefore, winning the Heisman doesn't necessarily mean you're that good.

NJTank Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Ward reportidly is about to become a NJ Net.As for Jason White, he got a 6th year of elligabillity due to losing 2 years due to injuries, and he says he will be returning to Oklahoma next year, a wise choice especially since he would not go very high in the draft. Chance are likely he will be a dud, but he will have another year on campus before he becomes the latest Hiesman bust. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
