Honestly, I think Jeudy has more overall athletic ability. He just seems more fluid and more of the complete package to me than Jefferson. I'd love to see it happen though if for no other reason than it gives Gumps one less point of pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Nowak He may not be the tallest, but Clyde Edwards-Helaire has as high a leap as any LSU running back in recent memory. The Tigers 5-foot-7 running back logged a 39.5-inch vertical leap at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, tied for the third highest at his position. That result is easily the best measurement among LSU running backs who have been drafted over the past decade, a list that includes Leonard Fournette, who went No. 4 overall in the draft. LSU RBs SELECTED IN DRAFT (since 2010) 2018: Derrius Guice, 31.5 inches 2017: Leonard Fournette: 28.5 inches 2015: Kenny Hilliard: 27 inches 2014: Jeremy Hill: 29 inches 2014: Alfred Blue: 32 inches 2013: Spencer Ware, did not test 2011: Stevan Ridley: 36 inches 2010: Charles Scott, did not test Boston College running back AJ Dillon paced the field this year with a leap of 41 inches. Edwards-Helaire showed off his athleticism again in the broad jump with a result of 123 inches. He logged a 4.61 on his first attempt in the 40-yard dash, which left him in the middle of the pack for running backs. Edwards-Helaire broke out in his junior season for 1,414 yards and an SEC-leading 16 touchdowns. Scroll below for more results, which will be updated as they become available. COMBINE MEASUREMENTS/RESULTS Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB (Position rank in parentheses) Age: 20 (junior) Height: 5'7" Weight: 207 pounds Arms: 29" Hands: 9 5/8" 40-yard dash: 4.61 Bench press: 15 (T-19) Vertical jump: 39.5 inches (T-3) Broad jump: 123 inches (T-9) 3-cone: 20-yard shuttle: 60-yard shuttle: Prospect grade: 6.42 (Will be starter within first two seasons) CLICK HERE FOR NFL COMBINE PAGE CLICK HERE FOR LSU PLAYER TRACKER LSU HIGHLIGHTS Edwards-Helaire emerged as a versatile force during his final season in Baton Rouge, when he led SEC running backs with 1,304 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns and recorded 50 catches for 399 yards and a touchdown, a school-record catches for his position. The First-Team All-SEC and Paul Hornung Award finalist was impressive in LSU's new-look offense, and he left behind his own legacy after following running backs like Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice and Nick Brossette. EXPERT QUOTES Mel Kiper: "Clyde Edwards-Helaire emerged. Remember Brossette was their top rusher (in 2018). He doubled up what Edwards-Helaire had in terms of productivity. The touchdowns and yards and all of the sudden here’s Edwards-Helaire doing a great job." Ric Serritella: "Painted as a tough inside zone runner, Edwards-Helaire shows an astounding amount of patience to let blocks develop and opportunity show itself. With outstanding spacial awareness, he has a knack for avoiding contact in tight confines, presenting a very matchup in one on one situations. Boasting a thick-compact build, Edwards-Helaire has some of the most absurd contact balance in the entire class.... Fixed within a talented 2020 running back class, Edwards-Helaire is in threat of being lost amongst a deep group of electric ball carriers. It is his contact balance, plus vision and ability as a pass receiver that could afford him the opportunity of being selected amongst the top five running backs in the 2020 NFL Draft class. In the right situation, Edwards-Helaire has all the talent to develop into a mismatch weapon on the next level." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Lloyd Cushenberry out for NFL combine after suffering leg injury ByGARRETT STEPIEN 8 hours ago Lloyd Cushenberry suffered an unfortunate exit to a promising 2020 NFL scouting combine Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. As he passed the 25-yard line on his second run in the 40-yard dash, the former LSU offensive lineman appeared to let out a grunt and reach for his right hamstring while he pulled up and jogged off the final 15 yards. Cushenberry walked off slowly next to a trainer. Several moments later, NFL Network reporter Kimberly Jones said on the broadcast that Cushenberry would not return for on-field workouts with the linemen. "That's terribly unfortunate. We hope he has a great pro day and obviously years from now when he's a successful pro, this will just be a blip on the radar screen," said Rich Eisen, NFL Network's host on the combine broadcast. Damn, hate to see this... Lloyd Cushenberry pulled up during his 2nd 40 attempt & grabbed his hamstring. pic.twitter.com/YvWjwmnVl5 — SUSPENDED AGAIN (@FTBeard1) February 28, 2020 Cushenberry measured Tuesday at 6-foot-3 1/8 and 312 pounds with 10 3/8-inch hands, 34 1/8-inch arms and an 84 1/4-inch wingspan. A two-year starter at center for the past 28 games from 2018-19, Cushenberry logged 39 appearances throughout his LSU career. A three-star recruit out of Geismar (La.) Dutchtown, he was the 247Sports Composite's No. 1,522 overall prospect, No. 82 offensive guard and No. 71 player in Louisiana for the 2016 class. Cushenberry entered the combine as one of the top linemen in the draft. "Starting-caliber center with big hands, long arms and good core strength to match power on power when needed," said Lance Zierlan, NFL analyst, in Cushenberry's draft profile. "Cushenberry isn't rigid or stiff, but he does have some limitations with lateral quickness, which show up against athletic edge rushers and with potential run game limitations in space. He's extremely difficult to bull-rush and is rarely beaten to the punch in his pass sets. LSU was frequently tasked with five-man protections in its passing scheme, which put Cushenberry on more of an island than he will see as a pro, so scouts should account for that. He's a do-your-job prospect with the strength to handle an odd-front nose and could be a long-time starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 ESPN's Todd McShay thinks 1 team could trade up to take Joe Burrow at No. 1 SDS Staff | 1 hour ago Joe Burrow had a quiet but successful weekend at the NFL Combine. The former LSU quarterback didn’t work out at the combine, but he reportedly had a fantastic interview with the Cincinnati Bengals, who is projected to take Burrow No. 1 overall. ESPN’s Todd McShay just returned from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, and on ESPN’s First Take Tuesday morning, he explained that if any team could convince the Bengals to give up that No. 1 pick, it would be the Dolphins. “The Dolphins,” McShay said. “I know from talking to people in that organization that they have a lot of love for Joe Burrow. Everyone talked this year about ‘Tanking for Tua,’ and that was the guy that everyone thought they wanted. But with the medical situation the way that it is (for Tua Tagovailoa), everyone in the organization that I’ve talked to, they love Burrow. They’re pretty sure they won’t be able to get a deal done to go up get him (at No. 1). “If the Bengals are going to sit there at No. 1 and say, ‘That’s our guy (for Burrow),’ then there’s no way to go get Joe Burrow if you’re the Dolphins.” Burrow is predicted to be picked No. 1 overall by most NFL Draft projections following the NFL Combine.

LSUDad Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Can Alabama or LSU tie 2004 Miami's record for 1st-round picks? Why you shouldn't rule it out Connor O'Gara | 3 hours ago What Miami did in the 2004 NFL Draft has been untouchable the past 15 years, and with good reason. Six 1st-round picks is no small feat. Some Power 5 programs go an entire decade without that many 1st-round selections. There have, however, been threats to that feat. Ohio State fell just shy, with 5 in the 2016 NFL Draft. Alabama had 4 in 2017. Others like USC’s 2008 class also have come close — 4 1st-round picks and 7 in the first 2 rounds — but haven’t been able to get it done. Alabama and LSU, dare I say, might finally be the team to match Miami. I know, I know, I know. We say this all the time. It’s said during the season a lot, too. But now that we’re post-NFL Combine, I thought it was at least worth digging into. NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah had 6 Alabama players and 5 LSU players coming off the board in his post-Combine mock draft. Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, on the other hand, had 4 LSU players in the 1st round, but he had 6 in his first 38 picks. Miller also had 5 Alabama players in his 1st round and 6 in his first 46 picks. What does that mean? Nothing in terms of actual draft feats. But it does mean that Alabama and LSU have at least 6 guys who theoretically can be picked in the 1st round and it wouldn’t be totally out of nowhere. Here’s where each of those prospects came in for Miller and Jeremiah in their post-Combine mock drafts (Miller did 3 rounds while Jeremiah did 1): Draft Prospect Miller Jeremiah Joe Burrow, LSU No. 1 No. 1 Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama No. 5 No. 5 Jedrick Wills, Alabama No. 9 No. 8 Jerry Jeudy, Alabama No. 12 No. 12 K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU No. 14 No. 14 Henry Ruggs III, Alabama No. 21 No. 18 Patrick Queen, LSU No. 23 No. 20 Justin Jefferson, LSU No. 22 No. 21 Xavier McKinney, Alabama No. 31 No. 31 Kristian Fulton, LSU No. 38 No. 25 Trevon Diggs, Alabama No. 46 No. 27 Grant Delpit, LSU No. 34 Not listed Obviously those aren’t the only 2 draft opinions. They are, however, 2 of the top 4 draft experts in the business — in my opinion — giving a post-Combine evaluation and not just a way-too-early take in September when players from powerhouse programs tend to get the benefit of the doubt. And for what it’s worth, Pro Football Focus’ post-Combine mock draft has 6 LSU players coming off the board in Round 1 compared to 5 for Alabama. Sports Illustrated actually has 6 projected 1st-round picks apiece in its post-Combine mock draft. Again, this is just saying there’s a chance. Those are 6 guys from each team who have a legitimate shot to come off the board in the 1st round. The margin for error, however, is slim. We’re not talking about 9 guys on each team who are in the discussion for Round 2 or better. It would take essentially a perfect Round 1 in order for that to happen for Alabama or LSU. The crazy thing is, Dylan Moses, Alex Leatherwood, DeVonta Smith and Najee Harris all returned to Alabama instead of leaving for the NFL Draft. Even if just 2 of them had left for the NFL, there’d be a realistic expectation that Alabama would at least match Miami. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Alabama’s run at history feels like it’ll come down to McKinney and Diggs. The top members of the Alabama secondary in 2019 were part of a defense that was the worst statistically since Saban’s first year in Tuscaloosa in 2007, but Alabama did rank No. 11 against the pass and it had the No. 4 unit in team passing efficiency defense. That happened in part because Diggs was phenomenal in coverage for most of the year while McKinney can do it all from the safety position (don’t tell me the Shaun Shivers play will prevent him from being a 1st-round pick). LSU’s path to a perfect 1st round is different in that the Tigers had several players rise up draft boards with their deep run. The 2 guys in the 1st round who blew up the most, especially down the stretch, were Jefferson and Queen. They made themselves some money in the postseason. There’s no doubt about that. But the buzz hasn’t really worn off with them. Jefferson ran a 4.43-second 40 at the Combine, which answered the biggest question scouts had about his straight-line speed. Meanwhile, Queen had a 4.5 40, a 35-inch vertical and a 10-foot-5 broad jump. You’d be hard-pressed to find a post-Combine mock draft without Jefferson or Queen in the 1st round. Go figure that it might actually be Delpit and Fulton as the biggest question marks after they looked like LSU’s safest bets to become 1st-round picks coming into 2019. There are still of course a few things left on the table that’ll determine whether LSU or Alabama can make some history come April. Pro days and team meetings will certainly factor into the equation. Medical reports could also sway a pick here or there. Something always prevents this feat from happening. There’s a reason why just 3 draft classes have ever had 5-plus 1st-rounders from the same school (2004 Miami, 2006 Ohio State and 2016 Ohio State). Even on teams loaded with talent, we pick these prospects apart. That 2016 Ohio State class was historic, but the best pro of the bunch was Michael Thomas, who wasn’t even picked until the middle of the 2nd round. Maybe Alabama or LSU will have a non-1st rounder become its best pro from the 2020 class. Perhaps it’ll be an afterthought after a historic start to the draft. Don’t rule it out.
