0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome to a good football show. I am Matt Straup. It is Monday, March 7th, and today we are looking at some players who made significant impressions at the NFL Combine and were going to be spinning it forward. |
0:26.0 | To look at those skill players who could be key fantasy contributors as rookies this upcoming season, to do this I'm joined by Tyler Fornis and John Suppowitz. |
0:34.0 | And guys for starters, I just want to ask big picture, how was the Combine week for both of you and are you, like me, still just basking in the glow of seeing Jordan Davis run that 47840? |
0:45.0 | Because John, I feel like I was forever changed by that single run. |
0:49.0 | For me too, you know, as a big man myself, not that big, but as a big man myself, I'm just looking on like maybe there's a chance for me. |
0:59.0 | I did run out to the baseball field in my backyard. If I didn't stop for this, I'd probably still be running my 40s. But, you know, it was amazing. It was amazing. |
1:10.0 | It was a big thing for us big guys because I'm six, six nearly 300 pounds. So I'm kind of close to Jordan Davis, but as a big guy, you're either really fast or really slow. |
1:20.0 | And I fit more the ladder than the former and watching a big guy succeed like that is pretty cool. |
1:27.0 | It's mind blowing stuff because I am not a big guy and I probably, my 40 probably not even close to 48 or whatever he ran. |
1:36.0 | So just incredible stuff all around. As I said, we are here today to spend some of these combined performances forward into the fantasy outlook for some key skill players. |
1:46.0 | And we want to start off with running backs. I think we have to begin with Kenneth Walker. He posted the second fastest 40 times speaking at 40 times among running backs 4.38. |
1:54.0 | Tyler, what did you see from Kenneth Walker? And is it easy for you to envision him being an impact fantasy rookie? |
2:00.0 | I think it's easy to envision him being an impact fantasy rookie. And one of the questions I had was how much genuine speed and athleticism does he have? |
2:07.0 | Because a lot of what he was able to do at Michigan State was really bounce off tacklers and take advantage of how poor some of that tackling was. |
2:15.0 | And the yards after contact, I think you let the nation with over a thousand yards. |
2:20.0 | How much is he going to be able to avoid that contact with his speed and athleticism? Because that really wasn't 100% clear when you watched the film. |
2:29.0 | When you saw him at the combine, he pretty much answered all those questions. He's going to be able to get some separation with his speed and his agility. |
2:37.0 | And he's still going to be able to have that contact balance that really shed to those tacklers. |
2:42.0 | I was really impressed with Kenneth Walker. I don't know where exactly I'm going to slide him as far as running back rankings. |
2:50.0 | But I think he's easily top four, especially with the poor performance of Catherine Williams, because Williams is really going to be a guy who could separate himself as potentially the best with how diverse his skill set is. |
3:01.0 | But Walker has leaves a lot to like for fantasy owners. You're moving forward. |
3:05.0 | Exactly. And the thing is, I definitely agree he's going to be top four, especially with Isaiah Spiller, not really doing anything. |
