This is kind of recruiting related but considering it is mostly about our biggest target left I thought it might merit its own thread.
What of Ellis Johnson's former players that played the Star or players under other coaches who played a similar position have gone on to be drafted?
I know we are selling Rashaan Evans on the position and how he will play it differently than Therezie did this past season. Our opposition has the luxury of selling him on a more sought after NFL position with coaches who have a proven history on putting "Jack LBers" in the league. Just curious how you guys think we are combating that

Simple:
Star position allows you to showcase the following:
Inside LB skills
Outside LB skills
Speed Defensive End skills
Strong side Safety skills
Man - Man coverage on slot WR's - TE's
If you can do any of these great - you will get drafted very high in the NFL draft.
The Star position offers far more opportunities for players to showcase their ability to play multiple positions in the NFL - 3-4, 4-3, nickel etc. Its a no brainer.

Eric Norwood was drafted in the 4th, DeVonte Holloman was drafted in the 6th, and Antonio Allen was drafted in the 7th (the last two draft spots might be flip-flopped, but I can't remember). I think Ellis Johnson also did a lot of stuff with Melvin Ingram at South Carolina. He played linebacker, defensive end, and some defensive tackle.
