I have to admit I like this draft so far, I mean our secondary concern has been addressed and now we have these young guys to bring in for the LB concern either as backup or potential starters. Also a WR who may turn out to be something for us.

6-4 235...Another big guy

Wow....talk about an athlete. His high school resume looks like he's the most versatile player of all time having played quarterback, running back, wide reciever, safety, and finally linebacker at a power house school in Boston. Also was on the basketball team and was on the track team setting track records for running and discus throwing.

 

Another hard working guy with a passion to improve. Superb work ethic and excellent in the classroom. And "he is a relentless competitor who shows excellent range both as a run defender" (ESPN)

 

Here's a writeup on his high school career (to compliment jraneillis college writeup) :

 

Attended St. John's (Danvers, Mass.) Prep, playing football for head coach Jim O'Leary...

Three-year starter and captain for the Boston area power...Started at safety and receiver as a sophomore, safety, receiver and quarterback as a junior, and tailback and outside linebacker as a senior...Helped the team post undefeated regular season records in 2001 and 2002...Rushed for 920 yards for 104 attempts in 2002 and also passed for nine touchdowns and ran for 642 yards as junior quarterback...The two-time All-Conference selection added Prep Star All-East honors as a senior...Started for the basketball and track-and-field squads and was one of the state's top track performers with bests of 11.0 (100 meters) and 151 feet (discus throw)...Honor student and high academic achiever who participated in Johns Hopkins University Gifted and Talented Student Program and St. John's Prep Leadership Institute...Earned St. John's French Award in 2000.
