In a deep quarterback field, one must ask themselves, "how can I stand out?" and for some people the answer might just be "give everything I've got and let my play speak for itself" or something else like that, but in todays day and age it's all about headlines, getting that publicity and causing teams, fans and the public to pay attention, sometimes it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad.
Josh Bercovici is a gunslinging hothead hailing from Arizona State University, where he walked on and dominated the opposition from the very start. Instead of playing four years and honing his game, he has decided to cut it short by two seasons and take his hand at the upstart NSFL. "He can be a figurehead for not only his team, but the league as well, thats the kind of personality he has, he is intoxicating, the question is whether or not it will be a positive or a negative image that he projects for your institution, because you can be damn sure the name Josh Bercovici is going to be in the news, one way or another...it's just who he is." Said one scout.
On the field, Josh is a lightning rod of competitiveness, fury and motivation, he constantly talks trash to his opponents, and often his own teammates, but he does a great job at rallying his teammates around him and getting them to put their best on the field. Failure is never an option for Josh, and he expects everyone who wears that uniform to play at the highest level. "He's like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant in the sense that he will rip your heart out, he isn't afraid to yell at anyone and if you aren't putting out youre gonna hear about it, he's just a stone-cold killer."
As far as physical attributes, Josh is a stout 6-3, 210lbs, and possesses a cannon of an arm, think Jay Cutler arm strength, while also having sound decision making and pinpoint accuracy. Josh has the talent and potential to lead a franchise for a long time, you can build around him and count on him to perform at the highest level, especially when it counts.

Blessed with the combination of size and athleticism that scouts are still waiting to see Dental take his game to the next level. A solid performer at either defensive end spot, Dam has a combination of pass-rushing length and run-stopping strength on the edge. coaches recognized Dam's talent at Cal, when he was named honorable mention All-Pac 12 with 4 sacks in 1 game. Was a full-time starter as a sophomore. Dam has the mental toughness and vision to be a premier run stopper and strength and quickness to be a dominant edge rusher.
Strengths
Tall with a strong upper body and long arms. Can play on the strong or weak side because of his length and strength. Can push the tackle into the quarterback when one-on-one, using a strong bull rush. Uses his hands to gain an edge or rip off tackles. Flashes the initial burst to gain an advantage on the tackle, forcing him off-balance. At least adequate to adjust in close quarters and collapse laterally. Long arms allow him to reach ballcarriers coming through the hole. Can spin to get off of blocks and change direction.
Weaknesses
Big butts. Mountain of PBR. Long walks on the beach. Yoga pants.
Dental Dan is an instant impact player from the time he steps on the field to the time he steps off. Expect this kid to dominate the Quarterback and still have time to help your 7 year old daughter sell Girl Scout cookies.

Rolf Larsendorf is a hero in his hometown of Lake Michigan at-large. Having spent all but the first thirty-seven minutes of his life on land, one would think Larsendorf had adjusted to living as an earth-bound human. One would be wrong. Not only does Rolf Larsendorf spend hours a day dropping out of medium-height trees, making splashing sounds as appropriate; but associates whisper of his inability to look his neighbors in the eye. Is he an antisocial thrill seeker? Or did he lose his equilibrium at sea, cursed with vertigo when focused on spheres, only feeling connected to the world through the act of falling? Only the drafting team's doctor, and his teammates, and fans, and really anyone else connected to him will be able to unravel that clue. But for now, Rolf's reclusiveness remains a mystery. Some analysts think that his stock will sink over his silence, afraid the secrets could come out and serve as a distraction.
While there are no stats available from his time in college, Larsendorf ensures that "UW Leipzig... holy cow! That's a real place I played football at. Eh? I love Australia."
In spite of the numerous red flags, and substantiative lack of documentation, journalists are hyping him as "one of the tight ends in this class of prospects." Rolf Larsendorf will have to take the opportunity to invent himself seriously if he wants to have a successful career in this league.

Overview:
With his prototypical size and incredible athleticism the Manchester Tennessee native Angus Winchester was a dominant force anchoring the line in his years at Wisconsin. Starting his last 32 games at left tackle he showed consistent performance in pass protection while continuing to develop his run blocking ability.
Positives:
Has a broad frame with a wide base and shoulders. Highly explosive athlete with the strength to match. Good quickness in reach blocks and agile footwork with a long two kick stride gives him excellent position against rushing edge defenders. Has the speed and quickness to get to the second level and deliver blocks against linebackers. Excellent awareness against opposing defenders twists and stunts. High character player and an excellent influence in the locker room at Wisconsin.
Weaknesses:
Technique in run blocking still somewhat raw. Needs to work on selling fakes and screens. Has a bad habit of remaining too upright and not getting his pad level low in the run game. Compensates for mediocre hands with raw strength which will challenge him at the professional level.
Bottom Line: A top-tier athlete with outlandish strength and power with the speed and agility to match. He excels in pass protection and has shown constant improvement in his run blocking.

Ryan Flock. Elite Safety out of the Naval Academy, where he doubled as a Wideout and Punt Returner played every game in his 4 years in the academy, starting as a true freshman. He lead the team in Tackles and Interceptions, with 290 career tackles and 20 career interceptions, 5 returned for TDs, 65 pass breakups, 6 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and 2 blocked kicks.. Natural FS that also plays well at SS.
As a Wideout, he only played a handful of snaps in his 4 years, but notched 30 catches for 376 yards with 4 TDs.
As a Punt Returner, he had an Average of 16.9 yards/per with 4 TDs.
Flocks most noticeable performance was against top prospect Joshua Garden, Baylor, where Flock met Garden at the top of a Post Route and met the ball at its highest point, colliding with Garden in mid air. While both prospects were shaken up on the play, Flock had been the one to come out on top, notching the interception, his 6th of the year. Most of Flocks day was spent shadowing the receiver to help his CBs, and while Garden did manage to rack up 6 catches for 100 yards, he was weary of going deep, or into the endzone after the collision late in the first half. Navy knocked Baylor off that game 27-21. Flock ended that game with a team high 13 tackles, 3 passes defended, and 1 game changing interception.
Strengths
Carries a strong, but quiet confidence. A swagger that is almost unnoticed to most fans, but will strike fear in opposing QBs. Great Size and wingspan. Showed some of the best instincts of all college DBs. Quick to read and react with true center field range. Runs the alley and really knows how to throw the body, will benefit from adding muscle. Lays the "boom" on receivers and ball carriers. Smart tackler, isn't too aggressive with his weight, knows when to blow them up, and when to wrap. Quick to size up RBs from the FS positoin. Pre-snap reads are good, could improve with right coaching. Deceptive speed, faster to catch-up than his 40 suggests. Hands seemed to improve each year. Punt Returning ability is a big plus.. Very patient in his cuts and squeezes into lanes for big returns.
Weaknesses
Narrow build, needs to add muscle in NSFL. Not as natural in the box, but above average. Better suited as FS, but with some added weight and coaching, could be a serviceable SS. Sometimes is too ambitious going for interceptions, but wasn't too much of an issue his senior year. Too aggressive on larger RBs early in the game. Won't wrap up or go low until after being trucked once or twice, a lot of pride, will continue to try and knock opposing players off their feet. Not asked to play a lot of man coverage, showed better ability versus TE/RB than WR. Can play too conservative in the first half, does seemingly turn it on later in the game.
Draft Projection: Round 1
Bottom Line: Has elite ball skills and better tackling than most pundits say. Instincts are on another level. Should be a Day 1 starter, regardless of which position.

~500 words(S1) - PT #1 - Draft Profile - Jogn - 05-24-2017
Overview:
With one of the highest bench press totals in the NSFL combine and a 30.5" vertical, it is very clear why Jogn Floggity was originally recruited as a two sport athlete in volleyball, an experience Floggity describes as "a complete vautrien. I thought I'd get to play co-ed", before converting full-time to football at Hawaii.
Jogn slid all over the interior line in 2012 and 2013, including literally sliding around the line in an infamous performance against BYU, but time in the gym and learning how to properly anchor allowed him to settle at Center for his last 22 games.
Nominated for the Piesman Trophy after forcing a fumble on a shanked field goal that UNLV attempted to return. Volunteered to kick PAT after Hawaii's kicker was revealed to be injured. A career 0/1 on PATs.
Positives:
Has the strength to not get put on his ass by an NSFL lineman. At Guard, showed the agility to slide and cover for his linemates who that last sentance isn't true for. Is intelligent and sets protections. Doesn't just rely on his strength to hold tackles and shows awareness of countermoves. Has been an experienced, durable four-year starter.
Weaknesses:
Can overrely on pure strength, which will not be as dominant at the professional level. Seems to have developed some bad habits in his senior year which will need to be ironed out in training camp - likely should have left college in his junior year. Has that PFF article about how it doesn't matter if your arms are short bookmarked.
Bottom Line: A hard-working and versatile interior lineman, who has shown great improvement over his time at college. Should be starting-quality.

Josh Garden is one of the most hyped players coming into the league's inaugural draft. This high talent receiver has all the guts and gusto to make a huge splash in his first season, and will be highly sought after by every team. By our guess, it would seem Garden will likely go with one of the first picks to a team that already has a quarterback. This will give the team he goes to the offense it needs to really take off in the league and dominate in their first season.
On the topic of Garden's play style itself though, the main thing you have to look at is his natural ability to find the open slots on the field. He has a natural ability to dart past defenders, and creates movement on the field when their could normally be none found. His uncanny football intelligence is what truly has caught the attention of coaches and scouts as well as has gotten under the skin of other players in the past.
It might be possible that Garden is one of the most offensively talented players to walk into the football stadium in quite a while, and any team that passes up on him come draft day will be in for a surprise when he takes the league by storm.

Jayce Tuck is an athletic marvel with raw explosive power and rare speed for his size. Is physically tough and will battle through injuries. Can collapse the edge with ease and man handle offensive linemen. A disruptive force - creates a lot of pressure and improves the production and play of those around him. Vocal leader with NFL pedigree. Can split the double team and accelerate in a hurry. Plays with leverage and power in his hands and converts speed into power and bulls blockers into the backfield. Probably the strongest player in the draft. Disrupts a quarterback's vision with long arms and can bat down balls at the line. Plays well on every down, with his hand in the dirt or standing on the edge, is an impact player against the run, the pass, and even in coverage. Flashes play making ability and can produce athletic feats in a category with few others before him.
Sometimes he has a questionable motor. Looked bored in his senior season and took plays off. Needs to learn what it means to be a professional and would do well with a season of NFL conditioning and trainers. Instincts are there, but could do well to spend more time watching film. Can be slow to diagnose plays when he does not put in the work in the film room.
