Arden Key might be the most classic case of a boom or bust player in the entire history of NFL. Has the natural talent to dominate, but he also has very questionable work ethic and decision making skills. The whole key is keeping him motivated

Calvin looks to have the speed and hands to be a playa. The Fact #2 wasn't elite in the passing game has hurt Calvin's stats but he got some rings. The combine will be huge for Calvin or could be if he shows out a little.

Do not think he is a first rounder at LB. Fast, but undersized for the Pros. At times he looked like better fit at SS.

Think it depends on the team that drafts him. Some teams like faster LBs flying all over the place, like Deion Jones has done for Atlanta...think Rashaan could fit well in that role...

I'll probably catch some flack from my own fan base for this one, but Calvin Ridley. I don't think he has what it takes to be a #1 at the next level. I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think he's talented but not the total package that he's kind of billed as.



I sort of agree- he has a really high floor, can run all the routs has solid hands but doesn't really make the incredible catches. Maybe that was frustration on his end, but there were a lot of poor throws that he should have gone and gotten if he want's to be in that "elite" category. So i don't think he will be a "bust" but someone is going to take him in the top half of the first round because it is a really weak WR draft this year but i see him being solid in the NFL - not sure if that means he is a bust or not.

ETA: Minka will be fine - smart player, can run, tackle, and create turnovers...

However, why would one players be exaggerated and the other one is not? If you take height/weight off one to prove your point, shouldn't you take it off the other ones?


College height/weight is always exaggerated. Every year they measure smaller than they are listed. Luke has already been "resized".
