that's ridiculous. nate hobbs is listed among top 10 rookies and was by far the lowest picked of the 10 listed, with the next closest pick being made 104 picks ahead of him (!).
Hayes' strength is directional coffin corner punting pinning teams deep, and this year he was 11th in the nation in net punting, and only had 2 touchbacks on 68 punts.
I love it when a punter can put together a highlight reel -
I don't know if you're helping your argument. Why would such a talent be drafted so low coming out of college if he was being so expertly utilized by Lovie and his staff?
lol, no pleasing some people
Nate has exceeded expectations by a factor of 7 coming out of high school and by a factor of 28 coming out of college, so his high school coach apparently utilized him more effectively.
He should, but I doubt he does.
Is his draft stock high, though? I really don't know. His pass blocking seems to need work and I don't recall too many receptions to show off to the scouts. He's a good runner, but there are a lot of good running backs in college.
I think it's worth mentioning that the scheme (offense or defense for a given player), the status (blue blood equals more exposure) and success (winning record) of the school you play for and the people you play with (who can support you and make you look better) has a heavy bearing on these types of awards. Congrats to the players who received this recognition and to the team as a whole who made it possible.
Talking about Kerby Joseph being one of the best safeties in college football this year.
Ah, thank you. That makes much more sense. The talk of Reggie Corbin, who I don't recall having much of a high draft stock, must have thrown me off.
obviously he needs to do what's best for him; optimistic (selfish?) side of me think maybe there's more development to be had with a 2nd year at the position and a 2nd yr under the current coaching staff
