Keep them coming Harvey, they were admittedly his highlights but they showed good instincts and tackling ability, things Savage lacks.I'm pretty sure my super sleeper at S is going to be Jason Taylor of Oklahoma State.

I looked back at my notes from last year to see if doing well in the Shrine practices actually matters. I think around 33% of the Shrine participants get drafted. (I think the Senior Bowl is over 90%.) Of the players that got a good or great grade in practices last year, 59% were drafted. So, it does matter a bit. Interestingly, the percentage would have been 70% without off ball LBs and safeties. It could have just been a bad year for off ball LBs and safeties at the Shrine Bowl last year though. Only 4 of the 16 off ball LBs and safeties were drafted. I find this stuff interesting.

OK Harv, starting to really like this guy. I like that he's reliable and can play ST. Decent size, long arms, speed seems good enough, not sure about single-high but if his instincts are good you can get by. They will need replacements at one if not both starting safety spots so he could compete there by mid-season.
