Sean Tucker

[CATCH17]

How am I just not hearing about this guy?

What round is he projected to go in? He looks like a starting NFL RB to me.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He’s one of my favorites too but there some health issue that I haven’t heard details on that’s dropping him.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I don't see it with him. Mega straight linish.

He looks awesome when his assigned gap is wide open, but close it and he's not going to find another opportunity. He either doesn't see it, or gears down and gets caught at the line. Very Trent Richardson esque.

I think he's an RB3 type. I'd honestly be higher on him as a gunner or KR than a ball carrier.

Tucker is a beast! One of my favorite guys entering the draft.

However, a few reasons why.

-Hesitant when hitting the hole
-Bad in pass protection
-Tons of carries already
-Injuries
-Won’t pull away from defenders

Haha im not seeing that at all.

Straight line? Where..?

Dude is jump cutting all over the place.

Just pulling up one video and watching it, there's a stretch of plays here that kinda illustrate what I'm talking about.



0:33. Tucker's assigned gap gets filled by a defender stoning his FB in the hole, but the RG and RT clean up and there's a wide open gap to his right. Tucker presses his initial gap, sees it's closed, find, but trips when he tries to cut it back and takes a loss.

0:40: The OL blocks the inside run well, and Tucker's first read is wide open. He accelerates through it and looks like a speed-to-power beast heading downfield.

0:57: another lead-blocker power play. Tucker tries to bounce it and gets cut down at the line of scrimmage.

To clarify my first post, Tucker has a straight line skillset. It's not like he only charges ahead into his linemen's backs, he'll try to bounce and cut back. But he doesn't have the short-area athleticism to cash those checks. He's a classic head of steam guy.

Missed the combine and pro-day due to an undisclosed medical condition.

The media rankings for RBs this year are all over the map.

I think the evaluation on Tucker is pretty straightforward. He's a really bad receiver and blocker, so he's a pure two-down rusher only. On those two downs, he offers a very good size and speed combo, but doesn't profile as a guy who will get more yards than what's blocked. That's a backup, day 3 type of grade.

He is Kipers pet cat.

He has a different gear that’s obvious.

I think he is generally regarded as a late round guy though, maybe even priority UDFA.

Adding a guy like the Pitt back AND Tucker is my ideal scenario to add to Pollard and Jones. Yes, I want to be four deep there and not be screwed if any given one of them gets hurt, or goes to Cabo, etc.

With some of the legs I see in this draft, Pollard is lucky he signed that tag beforehand.

 

[Mr_437]

I like Tucker's game, and with his unfortunate draft process he may drop and be a steal.

Watch full games instead of highlight videos and you will get a better evaluation of him.

Can be said about any prospect, but most of us don't put the time in to watch full games.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, nice find....


.... in Mel's list of favorite players at each position.

Yah I agree with you. Very hesitant. Poor vision. Doenst have good feet.

I agree. Backup material. Not a pure runner. Too robotic.
