darkhorse LB

[Biggems]

Rod Muckleroy - Texas

He doesnt get much publicity or press, but he is quietly an efficient and solid LB. He can play the run and the pass with great proficiency. He is a major reason why the Texas defense has been so good this year.

IMHO, he has more upside and will have a better pro career than the much more publicized and hyped Sergio Kindle......and I am a big Kindle fan.

So keep an eye on him in the BCS game.....and then at the combine and pro day.

Funny that's the name that came to mind before I clicked the thread. He's been good since his freshman year, just a really good football player. He's not huge (but plenty big), not speedy but moves well. Always flown under the radar for some reason. He'll be a good NFL player. I don't think he has more upside than Kindle by any means but they'll have different roles in the NFL anyway. I think they'll both be good.

BTW did you play at Judson? I played vs. Judson in a non-district game back in the day..we got smacked.

Football doesn't exist outside of the state of Texas didn't you know?

 

[Shady12]

Due to:

People know more about the teams they like.

Texas is the most popular college team in the state.

Being that they have a top level program, they have more pro prospects to talk about than most.

sorry for not being able to pull some JAG from Alcorn St. out of my backside....


BTW, Shady, I never played for Judson....but I did go there. I am not what you call an athlete...I have the love for football, just not the coordination or body for it.

To say that Muckelroy has more upside than Kindle is absurd. Muckelroy has had a nice career at Texas, but I'm not sure how well he translates at the next level. Him playing ILB in a 3-4 is out of the question because of his lack of bulk. When you watch him play in a couple of weeks, take note of his body composition. He has very little muscle mass and looks very soft.

i made my statement because over the last decade or so, the stud LBers from UT have tended to be average at best in the NFL....the no name guys are putting up just as good of stats as those studs....thus the higher upside.
