Roses are Red, Violets are Blue….
Look at this cheesy Valentine’s post I have for you.
I thought that since today is Valentine’s day I’d ask the staff who were some of the football players (pro or prospects) that they “love” and let them explain why.
Nick Castillo sends out his Love for Tim Tebow, Drew Brees, and Troy Polamalu and I wrote a few haiku’s for these players (I poured my heart and minutes into this so be kind).
Timothy Tebow
he is just like Chuck Norris
But wears a helmet
Drew Brees may be short
but has pinpoint accuracy
and more rings then you
Troy Polomalu
with hair longer than a girl
Did he hear me? Run!
Tanner Thoms loves Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre and has his own words for them:
Adrian Peterson, Vikings– Adrian carries himself in the best way possible. Due to personal experience, I know that he’s a great guy. He has never once demanded a contract extension, despite the fact it expires in 2012. He’s truly the definition of somebody that just loves to play the game.
Brett Favre, Vikings– I have always and will always admire the legend Brett Favre. His off the field antics are something that nobody would be proud of, but the game of football is what you do on the field. The fact that Brett has came back numerous times is fine with me, because it shows just how passionate he is about playing the game.
Sayre sent me two prospects he loves
1. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
It’s hard not to love Peterson. His blend of size, speed, athleticism, and almost cockiness are exactly what I love in a prospect. He’s got everything it takes to succeed at the next level, and I think he is going to be a superstar.
2. Brooks Reed, DE/OLB, Arizona
Brooks isn’t a guy that a lot of people will talk about, but he’s a player who is going to come into the NFL and just hit people as hard as he can, whether it’s on special teams, third downs rushing the quarterback, or whatever. He’s not the most athletic, but he out-works everybody and makes plays.
Mackenzie Pentoja sends out his draft love for
Markus White-we’ve already posted out love for DL Markus White
Maryland’s Torrey Smith
Kenrick Ellis
Owen Marecic
KJ Wright.
Hopefully we’ll get scouting reports for all of these players at some point soon.
And finally my draft players man Crushes are my two favorite targets for the Giants at 19th overall:
Mark Ingram Underrated speed and excellent acceleration to reach his top speed quickly. Good all around player, I know a lot of people are not in the draft a RB in the first round camp, but for a RB as good as I think Ingram is I think it’s worth it, hopefully he’ll make it past the Dolphins and to the Giants.
Brandon Harris
I compared him in my scouting report to a college Darrelle Revis. I think he has a similar skill set and could be a very good starter in this league. Is he the next Darrelle Revis? I don’t know about that, but he has pro-bowl potential, to me.
And lastly my love NFL Player is Hakeem Nicks to whom I wrote a poem. (again hours of agony for this poem so be kind).
Hakeem, Hakeem
My dream, my dream.
Hands Bigger than clowns’ feet
Catches that are quite the feat?
Yards upon yards after the catch
With Eli the perfect match
Catching my card out of the sky,
Won’t you be my Valentine?
Hakeem Nicks Amazing Hands.
