Lachavious Simmons Scouting Report

Lachavious Simmons was the Bears last pick in the draft, picked immediately after fellow offensive lineman, Arlington Hambright, and the debate immediately started. Which offensive lineman has the better name? I think Lachavious Simmons, but I do have to give the edge to Hambright, and I think that's how the Bears decided on who to draft first with their back-to-back picks.

I'll be honest, I didn't catch a ton of Tennessee State this season, so I wasn't sure what Simmons brought to the table. A Bears scout made the laziest comparison ever when he said he could be like fellow Tennessee State graduate, Richard Dent. I guess that means that his play will lead to a lot of sacks? I decided that I needed to do my own scouting and took a look at the tape.

Simmons moves very well and totally overwhelms defenders.

Here, he makes a strong move off the snap to get to the nose tackle and uses his angle to plant the defender into the ground.

He definitely has some pop in his blocking.

Not only does he give a good help block on the nose tackle, but he still has enough to get off that block and give a good pop to the linebacker without the benefit of building up any steam.

On the downside, I will never not laugh when I see a highlight video where the guy gets beaten badly.

He cannot play tackle as he simply does not have the physical tools to handle legitimate edge rushers. He gets blown by here and just barely gives him enough of a shove to keep him from getting to the quarterback. This is not a pancake, this is desperation, so he should probably stick to the interior if he wants to carve out a role in the NFL.

Overall, he's a seventh round pick out of a small school so there's a lot of rawness to his game. He definitely shows some intriguing physical tools, and if he can develop quickly in training camp he could make the roster and hopefully turn into a passable starter down the road. Offensive line depth is never a bad thing to have, so here's to hoping Lachavious can make an impact for the Bears.

Tristan Wirfs: 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Taking a break from quarterback scouting, let’s focus on the team I know best, the Iowa Hawkeyes. Although there was debate throughout the season and going into the combine, it appears that Tristan Wirfs has separated himself as the Hawkeyes top pro prospect for 2020. He was a dominant lineman that easily adapted to either tackle position, and after a ridiculous combine, he seems like a probable top-10 pick. I took a look at his games against Iowa State, USC, and Rutgers.

First off, let’s talk about that combine because ridiculous might be an understatement.

The man was the elite of the elite for the 40 yard dash, broad jump, and vertical jump. Those last two are the most important as it shows his explosiveness and considering some of the numbers he’s put up in the weight room, I have zero concerns about a slightly below average bench press number. This guy is big, strong, and explosive; those are three traits that I really like in my offensive linemen (or really any position for that matter).

As much as I am a fan of Wirfs, it's not all sunshine and roses. Sometimes, he gets a little overzealous and gets off balance.

He got knocked on his ass by a defensive back on this play. It doesn't really cost Iowa anything since the quarterback is rolling to the opposite side, but staying balanced is going to be incredibly important in Wirfs's development.

There is a lot of easy athleticism in Wirfs’s game. His athleticism is a great trait as long as he keeps his feet underneath him.

On this play, he does a nice job to deliver a punch to the defensive end to help out his guard before easily shifting to the linebacker.

The Iowa State game was a mixed bag for Wirfs. The versatility is impressive as he played both right and left tackle, not only in the same game, but sometimes he switched in the middle of a drive. On the downside, Wirfs really struggled with his footing on a wet field in this game. He was on the ground WAY more often than you would like to see. Still, he can make plays most tackles can’t by using that athleticism.

Here, he drives the Rutgers defender inside to clear him out of the play, and then turns and chases down the cornerback to pop him outside towards the sideline to create a wide running lane on the reverse.

He uses good footwork to handle speed rushes as well.

The linebacker comes late for the blitz and tries a speed rush to the outside, but it barely looks like the linebacker is trying as Wirfs easily slides his feet and takes care of the linebacker without any trouble.

If you are going to try to bullrush Tristan Wirfs, you better bring a lot of power.

He stonewalls his man here, and just shuffles him along to give the quarterback plenty of time to make a big play down the field.

He is really able to unleash his power in the run game.

Here, he gets his paws on the defensive end and just drives him back and into the ground as Iowa picks up the first down.

And just for fun, let’s look at him dominating his man on a quarterback sneak.

That’s how you gain eight yards on a quarterback sneak.

Overall, Wirfs is a excellent prospect and likely worthy of a top-10 pick. I’m not just saying that because he’s a Hawkeye; it’s also because he was a state champion in wrestling, and that always earns points for me. What we have is a guy who was good enough to start as a true freshman and just turned 21 a couple months ago. He’s already incredibly powerful and showed that he can move pretty damn well too. His technique could use a little polish as he tends to get a little in front of his feet, but I don’t think that’s anything he can’t clean up. No need for NFL teams to worry about this pick, Tristan will be Wirfs it.

XFAlpha Podcast Notes - Episode 8

Are you excited? Because you should be. Today, Jonah and I go over all of the interior offensive linemen picked in the XFL Draft. There are some flubs in here as I falsely trusted Wikipedia, and Jonah thought one of the lineman had a famous father, but it turns out the only thing they share is an uncommon last name. Also, we talk about minor league baseball and wrap it all into a bigger conversation around the XFL. We get stronger every week so jump on the bandwagon before it's too late. Notes below:

INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE

1. New York Guardians
1. Parker Collins - Guard out of Appalachian State who once participated in a Car Wash for Cancer.
2. Anthony Coyle - Fordham Center that was All-Patriot League first team his final two years there. He has one of the most boring Twitter accounts I have ever seen. Everything is some lazy phrase like nothing worth having comes easy.
3. Zac Kerin - First-Team All-MAC out of Toledo. He actually hung around the NFL for five years including playing in 18 games over that span but was unable to find a team in 2019.
4. Ian Silberman - 10th best high school offensive tackle went to Florida before transferring to Boston College. He was drafted in the sixth round by the 49ers in 2015 where he played one game. He got in two games for the Raiders in 2018, and just signed with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad on November 13th of this year.
5. Arie Kouandjio - The older, less talented brother of Cyrus. Still became a second-team All-American and fourth round pick by the Redskins. He started games for the Redskins as recently as 2017 but has not made an active roster since then. 
6. Garrett Brumfield - #1 rated guard in the nation coming out of high school, and then committed to LSU where he was nicknamed Bruiser. One of his hobbies is spray paint art. He signed with the Steelers after the draft but was unable to make the roster. Still young so still a good amount of upside with him. 
2. Tampa Vipers
1. Jordan McCray - AAC First-Team at Central Florida his senior year. Qualified for the state high school wrestling tournament his sophomore year. Bounced around some roster but no games played.
2. Isaiah Williams - Not Illinois Quarterback Juice Williams. Played at Akron where he switched from offensive to defensive line back to the offensive side of the ball. 
3. Andrew Tiller - Syracuse guard and was selected in the sixth round by the Saints. He’s played in 28 games, including 7 starts in both 2015 and 2016 for the 49ers. He bounced around practice squads but couldn’t find a team this season. 
4. Tre Jackson - Unanimous All-American at Florida State and South Team MVP at the Senior Bowl. He fell in the draft since he is a pretty poor athlete, even for guard standards but was drafted in the fourth round by the Patriots. He started nine games his rookie year, but unfortunately, he just kept getting injured after that and never played in another NFL game. If he’s fully healthy, he has the pedigree to make it back to an NFL roster.
5. Tony Adams - NC State Guard whose Dad was a college wrestling coach, yet somehow Tony started in competitive tennis at age 2. 
6. Daronte Bouldin - Ole Miss guard. 
7. Marquis Lucas - West Virginia guard.
8. William Campbell - Defensive tackle at Michigan who is trying to transition to offensive line. He was actually drafted by the Jets in the sixth round of the 2013 draft but failed to make the team. 
9. Zack Golditch - Guard out of Colorado State. Survivor of the Aurora movie theater shooting. He was shot in the neck and was released later that day after a hospital visit. 
10. John Yarbrough - Offensive lineman out of Richmond. Seems to like Barstool Sports. 
3. Seattle Dragons
1. Venzell Boulware - Miami Guard after some time at Tennessee. 
2. Dillon Day - Mississippi State Center that played in the Senior Bowl in 2015. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Broncos and won a Super Bowl as a member of the practice squad. This is the first year he hasn’t made a practice squad so a fringe NFL guy who should be solid as a center. He might be a Nickelback fan or he might be making fun of them. Not positive off of two tweets.
3. Cyril Richardson - Baylor guard that was a unanimous first-team All-American. Then became a fifth round pick by the Bills. He started four games and appeared in 12 his rookie year but has not played in an NFL game since. He’s 6’5” and 330 pounds so he’s massive, but he wasn’t able to stick in the NFL, which was a common theme for Baylor linemen during that era. 
4. Kirk Barron - Purdue Center that was a two-time Army Strongest Man Winner. No idea what that award is, but I love me some strength. Received his master’s degree this past year. 
5. Robert Myers - Lineman out of Tennessee State. The Ravens selected him in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, but he did not make the roster and hasn’t been with a team since 2017. 
4. Dallas Renegades
1. Maurquice Shakir - Guard out of Middle Tennessee State. He’s a big Lakers fan.
2. Josh Allen (ULM) - Not the Bills Quarterback. Also not the Jaguars edge rusher. Center out of Louisiana Monroe. He lettered in powerlifting in high school, and I very much wish that would have been a sport option for me back in the day. I would not have been good at it, but I would have liked the option. 
3. Alex Balducci - Played nose tackle at Oregon but then his college coach, Chip Kelly, immediately signed him and tried to make him an offensive lineman. Impressively, he played in two games for the 49ers despite just making the transition to the offensive side of the ball a few months earlier. But he has not seen game action since.
4. John Keenoy - Western Michigan Center that played at the East-West Shrine Game and is currently on the Vikings practice squad so he’s definitely a borderline NFL guy.
5. Salesi Uhatafe - Guard at Utah, majored in sociology.
6. Oni Omoile - Iowa State guard who believes that you should vaccinate your children. 
7. Maea Teuhema - Teuhema certainly lived by Cardale Jones’s motto of not in college to play class, he was there to play football as he got suspended by LSU for poor academic standing. Instead of serving the suspension and studying more, he transferred to Southeastern Louisiana. Considering he was a starter as a true freshman and sophomore, this guy has a good amount of upside, and I could definitely see him making an impact for Dallas. 
8. Malcolm Bunche - UCLA guard who originally played for Miami.
5. St. Louis Battlehawks
1. Brian Folkerts - Center for the Washburn Ichabods. Two-time letterman in wrestling and an Eagle Scout. Played in 28 games from 2013-2015, the highlight being the time he returned a kickoff for 12 yards for the Panthers. He is not a fan of Frontier Airlines. 
2. Dallas Thomas - Former Tennessee Volunteer who was a third round pick by the Dolphins in 2013. He has 26 starts in the NFL, but his last one was back in 2016, and his final start was so bad that the Dolphins released him that week. He hasn’t been particularly close to getting back these last two years, but he does have a strong belief in the value of staying hydrated. 
3. Jake Campos - Could have gone to Iowa but instead committed to Missouri, and then changed his mind and went to Iowa State, what a terrible downhill slide that was. His interests include Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Busch Beer. 
4. Tyler Gauthier - A lineman at The U.
5. Blake Muir - Baylor guard from Australia where he was an accomplished swimmer. 
6. James Murray - He had to walk on at Holy Cross but somehow managed to keep the dream alive and actually played for the Chiefs in two games last year. 
7. Juwann Bushell-Beatty - Michigan Tackle that is going to have to move inside to guard due to a lack of athleticism. 
8. Dejon Allen - Hawaii guard. 
9. Korren Kirven - Started as a defensive tackle at Alabama but tried to switch to the offensive side of the ball halfway through his career. Due to injury, he did get six starts his senior season, but that was 2016, so not a ton of potential at this point. He believes, “Life is too short to put up with fools.”
10. Michael Miller - Another lineman from Washburn, which has apparently become the XFL’s Offensive Line U. 
11. Avery Young - Played tackle at Auburn. Brother is Willie Young, former defensive end for the Lions and Bears. 
12. Chandler Miller - Tulsa guard.
6. Los Angeles Wildcats
1. Fred Lauina - Oregon State guard who majored in sociology and listed Michael Oher as his favorite athlete. 
2. Damien Mama - Made a bunch of All-American teams in high school before going to USC. He’s a big boy at 334 pounds. He has not tweeted in over two years.
3. Nico Siragusa - Not the son of Tony Siragusa. Offensive lineman out of San Diego State who was a fourth round pick by the Ravens in 2017. Tested out very well at the combine but completely tore his knee up during his first training camp where he tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL. If he’s actually healthy, it’s tough to find somebody with a higher upside than him as an interior offensive lineman, so here’s to hoping he can regain his form and stay out on the field. 
4. Ryan Cummings - Also the name of a very famous cheerleader which I didn’t know those existed. Played with Christian McCaffery in high school before going to Wyoming and playing with Josh Allen. 
5. Micah St. Andrew - Fresno State guard that was listed at 348 pounds. He loves Jesus and football. 
6. Patrick Vahe - Four-year starter at Texas who just graduated last year. I mean, I know Texas has not been great, but that seems like he’s a worthwhile guy to have around. He uses Head & Shoulders for his hair.
7. Toa Lobendahn - Guard out of USC.
8. Dorian Johnson - Fourth round pick by the Cardinals after a strong career with Pitt. Was the second ranked offensive lineman after Laremy Tunsil in his high school class. 2016 All-American, and it’s weird that he wasn’t able to stick anywhere.
7. DC Defenders
1. Jon Toth - Big unathletic center out of Kentucky. Kentucky’s website owns, because I found out his nickname is Toth (hard-o), he couldn’t live without his moped, he speaks Spanish, his life’s theme song is Hello by Adele, and his favorite meal is a big juicy steak. 
2. Rishard Cook - Guard for UAB.
3. Chris Brown (USC) - Guard out of USC. Has not beaten up Rihanna. 
4. James O’Hagan - Big time high school wrestler who dominated the state of New York. Still, he decided to pursue football at the University of Buffalo. 
5. Chase Farris - Played tackle for Ohio State. Won a Super Bowl with the Patriots on their practice squad. He earned a Master’s Degree.
6. Ronald Patrick - South Carolina guard with 80 inch wingspan. 
7. Terron Prescod - NC State offensive lineman who at least just recently got out of school. 
8. Houston Roughnecks
1. Demetrius Rhaney - Center for Tennessee State. Originally from Fort Lauderdale, he had to go to Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa instead of Alabama A&M, because his high school lost his transcript. Partially due to the toughness he showed living in Iowa Falls for two years, he was drafted by the Rams in the seventh round. He managed to play in 33 NFL games but started just once and has most recently been in the Alliance and CFL. 
2. Marquez Tucker - Southern Utah Guard who loves Juicy J and hot wings. 
3. Patrick Lewis - Texas A+M center who started 13 games for the Seahawks over 2014 and 2015. 
4. Ryan Anderson - Wake Forest offensive lineman who is definitely not the most famous athlete with his name.
5. Isame Faciane - Played Defensive Tackle for Florida International and has been trying to make it as an offensive lineman since 2015. 
6. Sebastian Tretola - Good enough for Iowa Western, good enough for me. Arkansas product who was drafted by the Titans in the sixth round and is absolutely awesome as he may have given a man a concussion for 12 hours (it also may have been Tajae Sharpe), and stuck around the Titans after that. But he got shot in the leg two months later, and that is finally when the Titans had enough. 
7. Tejan Koroma - BYU product.

XFALpha Podcast Notes - Episode 7

This week we talk about the big nasty offensive lineman. I know that might be overwhelming for some so we at least start with the glamorous side of the offensive line, offensive tackles. You can see all of my rankings below. Before that, we briefly discuss the supplemental draft where Jonah is slightly more excited than I am, but hey, it gives us even more players to break down.

1. Los Angeles Wildcats
1. Storm Norton 6’8” and All-MAC at left tackle for Toledo. He’s been right on the fringes of making rosters in the NFL and actually did get some playing time in one game for the Vikings last year. Heads up, on November 5, he tweeted that it’s officially chapstick season so he’s clearly in the pocket of BIG CHAPSTICK. 
2. Ryan Pope - Maybe the only XFL player that both Jonah and I have talked to before. Tackle out of San Diego State who had a nice showing at the East-West Shrine Game. 
3. Jaelin Robinson - Played tackle and guard for Temple but dabbled as a blocking tight end early in his career. 
4. Lene Maiava - Arizona lineman who only became a full-time starter his senior year. Probably not related to The Rock, but maybe.
5. Tyler Roemer - Probably my pick for best lineman in the league. He started every game for San Diego State as a freshman and sophomore until late in the year when he was booted off the team. Since he had redshirted, he had put in his three years and left for the draft, and it must not have been a terrible thing that he did as he was able to attend San Diego State’s pro day. He was named a Freshman All-American after his first year so he was not just starting but was a valuable member of the team. He was unable to make the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, but considering that he is only 21-years-old, you’ve got to love the upside with him. UPDATE: I found out he got kicked off the team for allegedly emotionally and physically abusing a woman so that's really bad, and although he might be a good offensive lineman, he might also be a bad person.
6. Anthony Morris - Tennessee State product that got selected by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2015 draft. Never made an active roster but did play in Canada and the Alliance.
7. Damian Prince - Played tackle for Maryland. Is not the pro wrestler Damian Priest, nor is he YouTube celebrity, Damien Prince Jr. He did say that if he ran into someone who had never heard rap music, he would play them Many Men by 50 Cent which is an objectively terrible choice. 
2. Dallas Renegades
1. Willie Beavers - Product of Western Michigan before becoming a fourth round pick by the Vikings where he played two games for Minnesota and has bounced around practice squads since then with no regular season action.
2. Pace Murphy - This guy is the worst. He wears bowties, and his Dad was a republican in the Texas house of representatives. You can be forgiven for one of those but not both. He played two games with the Rams in 2016.
3. Darius James - Played for Texas before transferring to Auburn and starting two years for the Tigers. He is not the author that also goes by Dr. Snakeskin.
4. Adam Bisnowaty - Four-year starter at Pitt and was first-team All-ACC his last two years there. He was a fifth round pick by the Giants in 2017 and started one game for them that year. He’s Jewish, and his grandmother survived the Holocaust by hiding out in the woods in Poland. If you think that’s nice, he also wears the number 69. His twitter handle is The_Biz_Show so he may only be joining the XFL to meet wrestlers.
5. Justin Evans - Tackle for South Carolina State.
6. Patrick Lawrence - Offensive lineman for Baylor.
3. New York Guardians
1. Jarron Jones - A defensive tackle who had 11 tackles for loss during his senior year at Notre Dame in 2016. He’s made the switch to offensive line, and he has a great frame at 6’6” with long arms. It’s been a few years since he’s played real competitive football, but he could have one of the higher ceilings due to his inexperience at the position. According to Twitter, he’s also working for a private jet company. 
2. Cyrus Kouandjio - Top high school prospect that almost went to Iowa before committing to Alabama, weird. Outside of an injury towards the end of his Freshman season, he started every game during his three-year career at Alabama. He pancaked Notre Dame in a National Title game, and was All-SEC First Team his final year. Drafted in the second round by the Bills in 2014, he’s bounced around the league without finding a home and did not make a roster for the 2019 season. It’s just never come together for him. He’s always been talented but time is ticking for him to actually put it together. 
3. Brian Fineangafano - Idaho State Offensive Tackle. 
4. John Kling - Offensive Tackle out of Buffalo. He bounced around some rosters but got cut before the 2018 season and has not had an NFL sniff since. He can squat 600 pounds and lifts while wearing his glasses. 
5. Nate Theaker - Wayne State product that has bounced around the league without making an active roster since 2017. Was voted GLIAC Offensive Lineman of the Year in his final season.
6. Adrian Bellard - Texas State lineman who failed to make the Bears roster.
7. Thomas Doles - Northwestern grad who was also a team captain his senior year. Plays the tuba.
4. St. Louis Battlehawks
1. Matt McCants - UAB Tackle that was first-team Conference USA. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Giants. He played in quite a few games with the Raiders over four years, starting three of them and also played two games for the Bears but has not seen action since the 2016 season. He plays the tuba. 
2. Kent Perkins - Texas player who played one game for the Bengals before retiring from football in August. He came back two months later for the XFL Draft when he saw the superior league needed some talent. 
3. Andrew McDonald - Indiana lineman who signed with the Dolphins after the draft in 2012. He did not get any game action until 2014 when he played two games for the Seahawks but has not been with an NFL team since 2016. He survived testicular cancer, and even more terrifying, bullying from Richie Incognito during his time with the Dolphins, so it’s impressive he didn’t go nuts.
4. Bruno Reagan - I like Reagan quite a bit as he started his final three seasons at Vanderbilt and was once named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. Before that, he was a high school state wrestling champion, and I’m a sucker for guys with wrestling backgrounds. He also won a Junior National Championship in Judo and is thinking about an Olympic run. Jonah, you’ll be happy to know that both of his parents were college athletes at Austin Peay, and his Mom is in the Hall of Fame for her volleyball prowess. On top of that, the man actually has a personality on Twitter, has a blog, and a podcast. HE’S JUST LIKE US, which makes him my favorite offensive lineman in the league.
5. Houston Roughnecks
1. Cornelius Edison - I went off how they were marked on the team’s rosters even though all indications are that Edison is more of a Center than a tackle. He played in six games as a backup for the Bears in 2016 and was most recently with the Vikings. He frequently retweets Joel Osteen, famous megachurch scammer.
2. Terry Poole - San Diego State lineman who was a fourth round pick by the Seahawks in 2015 after testing very well at the combine. Failed a physical in 2017 and has not been with an NFL team since. 
3. Avery Gennesy - Guard out of Texas A+M. Was terrible at the combine.
4. Gerhard de Beer - South African who played tackle at Arizona. He was with the Packers during the preseason but failed to make the team despite him likely having the best selling jersey in Green Bay history.
5. Marcus Applefield - Rutgers tackle that grad transferred to Virginia. He did not make the Ravens roster but can walk on his hands.
6. Tayo Fabuluje - Nigerian who played for the TCU Horned Frogs and was an All Big-12 selection. He was a sixth round pick by the Bears where he played in four games but failed to make a roster in the Alliance this past year so I’m leaning towards his football career being over.
7. Nick Callender - Colorado State product that is anti-racist, just like us.
8. Leon Johnson - Temple offensive tackle where his first name is actually Hubert, but goes by his middle name Leon.
9. Avery Jordan - New Mexico offensive lineman who is the younger brother of DeAndre Jordan. He played nine games for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year but came in this year too light for teams to feel comfortable with him on the line. He tweeted out the city Houston like a half dozen times before he was even drafted, so he may have had inside information on the draft.
10. Kamalie Matthews - Murray State lineman. 
11. Kevin Palmer - Baylor lineman who has spent the last four years playing up in Canada.
6. DC Defenders
1. Kyle Murphy - Was one of the best offensive line high school prospects before committing to play at Stanford where he was All Pac-12 his final year. Was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He played three games in both 2016 and 2017 for the Packers before bouncing around practice squads. Most recently, the Texans signed him one day after the XFL Draft so his XFL career is currently up in the air.
2. Logan Tuley-Tillman - UTEP Lineman who founded a nonprofit called Failure’s Never Final. 
3. De’Ondre Wesley - BYU Lineman who signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent and played in six games for them in 2015 but has bounced around rosters since then. 
4. Toby Weathersby - LSU player who once challenged fans to “Box it out” with him, but he could have just wanted to have good fundamental rebounding drills. He left school early and went undrafted and did not make the Eagles or Patriots roster before joining the Alliance and now the XFL.
5. Casey Tucker - Five-star guy who went to Stanford before going to Arizona State as a grad transfer. 
6. Cole Boozer - Lineman for Temple. He liked The Joker movie.
7. Randall Harris - Played for Towson, is not a famous wakeboarder.
8. Trae Moxley - Colorado State product that does not appear to be related to AEW Superstar, Jon Moxley. 
7. Seattle Dragons
1. Isaiah Battle - Played at Clemson and was a fifth round pick by the Rams in the supplemental NFL Draft after committing his third and final strike for the Tigers. He’s never gotten any playing time, but he has bounced around teams all the way up until May this year so he’s remained on the fringes.
2. Quinterrius Eatmon - Started all four years at South Florida and played a couple games in the CFL in 2017. 
3. Michael Dunn - Maryland lineman. 
4. Jordan Rose - Idaho Vandal, so Jonah is going to love him way more than he deserves.
5. Craig McCorkle - Played at California University of Pennsylvania which is located in Pennsylvania. His Instagram account is set to private.
6. Brandon Haskin - Tennessee State product that played for the Iowa Barnstormers in the Arena League. According to his Twitter account, he occasionally stays up too late.
7. Na’ty Rodgers - Houston lineman that was born in Seattle.
8. Tampa Vipers
1. Martez Ivey - High school stud who went to Florida and played left tackle but was unable to make the Patriots as an undrafted free agent.
2. Christian Morris - Ole Miss offensive tackle. 
3. Miguel Machado - Michigan State offensive lineman.
