Walter Thomas...


No wait, that was last year. I believe that thread had a 100 or so replies, meaning that reading it took longer than WT to get cut.


With the depth we have this year, I really cannot see a FA making the team... maybe a LB strong on ST, but we are loaded everywhere else.

Darnell Terrell, Missouri, 6016, 205 4.46, 15, 35 (CB/S/WR)
Terrell is former JUCO transfer that is flying under the radar as a pro prospect. He has excellent size-speed combination (long arms) with all the physical tools. Reacts quickly to cut receivers on quick passes or running backs on screens. Closes on a ball or receiver very well. He has a knack for getting a hand on the ball. Excels in zone coverage. Can quickly jump patterns when playing off his man and watching the quarterback. Nice instincts. He is aggressive with excellent range. Does a solid job versus the run and always will hustle to make tackles downfield. Darnell has the size to bring down bigger backs and receivers. He has the ability to play safety. Still has a decent amount of upside.
He does looks like a track star playing football at times. Shaky tackling sometimes, needs to learn to play a bit more within himself and would have to get tougher and tackle better in order to be a stand out at safety. Not super physical and just an average tackler. He still needs technique work and he does have some stiffness in his hips. Plays too tall. Poor footwork. Does not make a lot of big plays. Had more interceptions in his first year as a non-starter (two) than he did in two year as a starter (one). But he does get his hands on balls (nine passes broken up in 2007). Struggles to keep up with wideouts in man coverage. Much better when the play is in front of him, as he lacks fluid backpedal or hips to change directions quickly.
A two-year starter in Columbia, he has an excellent combination of size and speed that are everything NFL scouts want to see. but does not seem to be able to get interceptions. Intriguing physical specimen with outstanding triangle numbers. Terrell could be a Day 2 steal if he gets with the right team and developed properly either at cornerback or free safety.
