Cory Rodgers

[ddh33]

Can someone give me a scouting report for Cory Rodgers from TCU? He's someone who I would like to know more about.

 

[Qwickdraw]

Ive heard good things.

Did he play in any of the games? (Hula Bowl, Shrine Game, etc.)

I know he supposed to be a great Kick Returner.

I've yet to find a good scouting report on him but I saw him twice this year and also think he's a player. He could return kicks for us immediately. He's not currently on the combine list but I think he will be added on 2/1. If so, I'm thinking he's going to climb the boards.

The only thing I could find was this..

This is a player at the wide receiver position that shows good skill sets
He is the type of receiver that is not dominating at any one facet of his game, but is more than capable at many parts of the wide receiver position
He has a good pair of hands, has the mentality to attack both the ball & defenders, and he has the quick burst which gives defenders little time to react to him after the catch
He may not have the ideal size and stature you may look for in a receiver, and would benefit from gaining both strength & weight, especially some size in his legs, even with those few drawbacks all he does is make plays, which makes him very valuable
Update (01-10-06) TCU wide receiver Cory Rodgers is heading to the NFL. Rodgers, a junior who was probably the Horned Frogs' most dazzling playmaker on offense and special teams this past season, said Monday that he will skip his senior season and make himself eligible for April's NFL Draft. Rodgers said he made up his mind to leave TCU after spending a week with his family in Houston after the Horned Frogs' recent Houston Bowl triumph over Iowa State. "It was a really hard decision," Rodgers said. "I'm having fun in college, but I feel like it's time for me to move on with my football career. I'm being given a chance to support my family financially." Rodgers was one of the nation's most spectacular return men, and he probably would have owned all of the school's receiving records had he opted to return for one more season. The speedy wide receiver ends his college career tied with Mike Renfro with a school-record 17 career touchdown catches and was 32 receptions shy of surpassing Kelly Blackwell for the most career catches. Rodgers had 150 receptions for 2,111 yards. He wasn't sure if another season at TCU would help him improve his draft status. "I think I made the right decision," Rodgers said. "I'm comfortable with it. Some people might say I should have stayed, and that's fine. But I made a decision that feels right, and I'm sticking with it."

When you say "kick return", do you mean kickoff or punt? I would like an upgrade on the punt return team especially.

he'll be invited to attend Dallas Day, and I wouldn't be suprised to see us draft him in the 7th round ala Crayton

Actually I wouldn't mind taking Devon Hester in the 5th.

Breath-taking Punt Return specialist and a converted WR/CB.

Woody Dantzler wish he could run close to a 4.2 .

Woody Dantzler wish he could run close to a 4.2 .

I was referring to Dantzler's inability to find a true position in the NFL, the reason BIll couldn't find a spot for him, although he tried...many times, and which is the same track Hester is on his way to

and btw, it's physically impossible to run a 4.2

Deion ran a 4.2 40.

I know you don't like the kid I keep referring too, and I'm not going to debate it with you....It's just my opinion.

(The fastest time ever recorded at FSU was 4.23, by Deion Sanders. ) Here's the link.

The Queens, N.Y., native proved that big things come in little packages. The compactly built pass defender is not only one of the fastest players in the game of football, but pound-for-pound could also be one of the strongest. The 5-foot-8 dynamo boasts a 350-pound bench press, a 42-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-1 broad jump. He had a verified clocking of 4.12 in the 40-yard dash during his junior college days.

Some surfaces run fast, others run slow. FSU times tend to be fast (as do Dallas Cowboys official times) while the combine runs a little slow. If he runs a 4.1 at the combine, he WON'T be a 7th round steal.
