quote:
Najee Harris (Alabama), an elite running back with a rare combination of power, quickness and speed, is ruthlessly efficient on the football field. Whether he is running over defenders, zooming past them or cutting his way through NFL defenses, he is a force to be reckoned with… much like the Marvel’s “Day Walker,” BLADE, who uses his own brand of power, speed and super human abilities to battle the evil forces of the night.
quote:
DeVonta Smith (Alabama) is a “deadly” force to opposing defenses. Also known as “The Slim Reaper” by his teammates, he is an acrobatic, explosively quick phenom on the football field, overcoming much larger opponents with ease… like a certain Marvel fan-favorite. We chose this #1 issue cover homage to showcase DeVonta as he prepares to enter into the NFL

Looks like Azeez got one too.
quote:
Azeez Ojulari (Georgia) is a dominant edge rusher from the University of Georgia. Known for his explosiveness and effective use of his hands, Ojulari is agile and quick in pursuit but also has great balance and can be difficult to move. An all-around weapon for the defense, he excels at making like difficult for the opposing quarterback. Marvel’s own “weapon” is also familiar with work off the edge. Wolverine shares many traits with Ojulari… tenacity, effective use of his hands and super human toughness as he fights alongside his fellow X-Men. This cover homage to Wolverine #305 was a great fit for the Georgia Bulldogs star as he waits to see where he will begin his NFL career.

They revealed that to Najee on SportsCenter. His reaction was priceless. I tried to find the video on YouTube but didn't see it. His interview with First Take is on there though. It was a good interview.

No doubt the artist added weight to Smith.

Is skinny.

Slim reaper is the nickname that DeVonta’s Alabama teammates gave him.

Slim Reaper is an old Kevin Durant nickname.
Devonta Smith will always be the Golden Gazelle

Why?
Disney owned Marvel and ESPN producincg Marvel Comic themed cover graphics for 7 draftees to promote the draft on ESPN makes you want the selected player to be injured.
Are you also angered by the players and teams in the intros/promos for college GameDay, SEC games on TV, CFP promotions, etc?
