Jaylon Lee is not only a player that teams should keep their eyes on, he's one that has to be taken early. His skill set matches up with some of the best LB's in the NFL, and he proved time and time again in college that he was ready for the limelight of the big leagues. A balanced linebacker, Lee thrives on being able to make big plays in coverage while also being an above average help in run defense. He is not only a player with a buttload of talent, but a player who has proven that he will work his butt off to reach the highest at every level. As a 2-star walk-on out of high school, being underrated is nothing new to Lee, but he is still never content with being anything less than the best. As the league will soon find out, he comes from a rough background and has been through more than most other players in the league. After redshirting his first season in college due to off-field issues, the University of Texas finally gave Lee a chance, and they sure were glad he did. He was close to leading the nation in tackles and was a leader on the Big 12's best defense for the season. No matter what team takes him, Luke Lee will succeed.

NSFL PROSPECT
Subject: Cooper Christmas
Wide Receiver
6'5" / 220lbs.
Have you ever played the Madden video game? Specifically the Madden 04 edition or Madden 25 . These games contain an enhanced version of a wide out named Brian Finneran (see this for further) https://youtu.be/R5Mm-kQsE-w
Finneran was an unstoppable red zone threat. The things that receiver could do in the virtual world EWU's Cooper Christmas has been doing in the real world of college football.
This tall receiver was the Big Sky Conference leader in receptions and touchdowns for 3 of his 4 seasons at EWU. With 117 receptions and 19 TD's for this season alone. The stats are video game like, the physical gifts this receiver possesses are gravity defying.
Strengths-
Hands - Christmas possesses hands like football magnets, amazing grip strength and delicate fingertip control.
Body Control- His leaping ability is outstanding and when combined with his 6'5" length it's a deadly combination that has been used with maximum results by EWU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks without hesitation. The red zone is the North Pole and Christmas lives there. This WR has demonstrated on numerous occasions during his time at EWU that special ability to know exactly where the boundary markers are and can tightrope walk them like an all pro.
Weaknesses-
Considering the career he has established at EWU and the records he set both for the school and the Big Sky Conference there aren't many chinks in the armor of Cooper Christmas.
Speed- It's average, an could benefit greatly from specialized training.
Level of Competition- It still must be considered a weakness until he proves himself in NSFL competition. The Big Sky Conference will never be considered on the same level as the SEC or the Big 10. And some would argue that Christmas' accomplishments could never be duplicated against stronger competition. These same critics have seemed to have glazed over the 6 non conference opponents that made the mistake of paying EWU to rattle their confidence as Christmas toasted them during his EWU days.

[/div]King Bronko. The man is the most ridiculous athlete the NSFL has ever seen. At 6'3" and 200 pounds, you would think he was a little on the smaller size, but Bronko has an imposing figure, emphasized by the shredder facemask he wears, a very odd accessory for a wide reciever. But his abnormalities don't stop there. In the past 10 years at the NFL combine, the Body Fat percentage of all wide receivers ranged from 3.7 to 19.4. Bronko's numbers at the NSFL combine? 3.2. The number is borderline unhealthy, but there's no denying the intimidating look of Bronko.
He is also, potentially, a generational speed talent. As reported in his home town of Mogadishu, King Bronko apparently ran a 3.96 40 yard dash. However, his 4.17 NSFL combine time makes that sound a little farfetched. Still, a time on par with the great Bo Jackson is a great time indeed. He also showed incredible skill in route running. Bronko may not be the smartest kid on the field, but he can read defensive pass coverage like a book. And his ability to turn on a dime makes him a threat on any post route.
His main concern is that he is a very RAW athlete. His hands are not the best, as he has had his fair share of dropped passes in his college career. His endurance is also a little off, and he has been noticeably absent in a few key fourth quarters for Baylor in the past. Lastly, his blocking technique is awful. While most wide receivers don't practice blocking too much, they usually have drills every week and have a basic understanding of things. Due to the language disconnect and growing up in Somalia, King knows none of these things and blocks very poorly
(S1) - PT #1 - Draft Profile - J.shaloiko - 05-25-2017
Wide reciever Jonathan Shaloiko did not get recruited by many schools for football, so he decided to go to Duke University. He made his name known with the blue devils by setting the NCAA record for most receptions in a career (399) and the single-season record with 158 catches in 2016 (for 1,746 yards and eight touchdowns).
Strengths : route running, catching,
Weakness: not the biggest or most physical reciever

Damian West. So far not a household name but a lot of experts are in agreement that he could end up as a high ceiling prospect in the upcoming Inaugural Draft.
West grew up in a small town outside of Toronto but wouldn't remain there long. His family moved to Detroit in his first year of High School when his Dad was forced there for work. West naturally found himself on the team's football team in his freshman year when coaches noticed his raw speed during Phys-Ed classes. West was an athlete and caught up to the game really quickly torching opposing defenders and helping his team win multiple State Titles.
Damian was a student athlete and excellent at studying playbooks, he's labelled as a route-runner in the upcoming draft but could just as easily be labelled for his speed as well. He's quick, agile and can catch the ball in traffic. His only knock is his smaller frame and low strength which may not translate well at the bigger levels. His speed however should makeup for that. Look for Damian West to be a Quarterback's favorite target on the deep ball as he leaves defenders in the dust.
He has apparently signed on with a prestigious Player Agency but it is currently unknown who that is.

In the lead up to the draft, John Longshaw, father of top Offensive Line prospect Ben Longshaw, tells the story of how he knew his son was destined for the NFL:
"We were in the supermarket and Ben was around 10-years-old. He wasn't paying attention to where he was walking. He was looking at the food on the shelves, knocking things into the trolley when he thought I wasn't looking - he always ate a damn lot even back then - and as we come to the end of the aisle a fully-grown man comes rushing round the corner and walks straight into Ben. Before I can say anything, this guy is flat on his back and Ben's standing there with a box of cereal in his hand wondering what the hell's goin' on. My boy's been a living brick wall ever since and has made a living from putting people on their back. He's gonna make some team - and more importantly some quarterback - very lucky".
While it's easy to wave away his father's words as the sort of hype and praise any loving family member would offer, Ben's college numbers go a long way to corroborating the story from his childhood.
Through 3 seasons with the Huskies he didn't miss a single game, and during this incredible stretch he didn't allow a single sack. Not one. By the end of his collegiate career, opposing defensive coordinators learned to simply send pressure on the opposite side. This made an otherwise mediocre line one of the top performing in Division I football, with TE's beefing up the weaker side and Ben remaining a "brick wall", as his father put it, at the other end.
With the influx of quarterbacks declaring for this year's draft, it would be a smart move for a GM to pick Longshaw early, because even a late-round QB will blow the lid off the competition with such a talented lineman looking out for him. This will open up a slew of opportunities for skill-position picks in the middle rounds, making for a well rounded team that can complete for the championship in year 1.

[/div]Antoine Delacour is talented, this much is clear. A highly aware defensive back with a penchant for the dramatic, the Lafayette native has a knack for being near the ball, and seemingly appears out of nowhere to make highlight reel plays. He leaves college with a career total of nine interceptions and twenty-five passes defended over his three years, as well as six touchdowns from punt and fumble returns.
Delacour's speed and agility complement his ability to read the game, seemingly offsetting concerns over his size to some degree. Allegedly running a 4.35 second 40 yard dash and a 3.96 second 20-yard shuttle, with "room for technical improvement" according to some scouts, Delacour's quickness and flexibility are noticeably above average for his position. His vertical jump has not been officially measured, but it has been noted that, through a combination of impressive vertical jump height and long arms, Delacour is capable of dunking in a regulation ten foot goal post -- albeit inconsistently.
Despite all the clear upside to Delacour, it is expected that general managers will eye his size and strength carefully before selecting him in the upcoming draft. Some have raised questions about how he might cope with bigger, stronger receivers with his relatively slight frame -- though he has the frame to bulk up to near the two-hundred pound mark potentially -- while others have pointed out that his speed and intelligence, combined with an impressive vertical jump, could still make him problematic for "beastly" receivers to succeed against.

Bubba Nuck, the six foot flat running back out of Vancouver B.C has electrified fans ever since he was appointed the head General Manager of the Yellowknife Wraiths. Playing for the B.C Lion in the CFL, Nuck was a monster on the field displaying the absurd speed which made him so popular as a prospect growing up. The 20 year old halfback probably plans to shoulder the bulk of the carries for this offense and help establish a ground game to dominate the league.
Another benefit of having brought along this established pro halfback was the acquisition of former NFL prospect, Tyler Varga. While Varga struggled with positions trying to avoid racking up more concussions which prematurely ended his NFL career, he ultimately settled on defensive end, giving the franchise an elite level prospect at both ends of the ball. Varga was quoted as saying: "If Nuck wasn't the GM, I highly doubt I'd have taken the offer to come here and play ball, but having a fellow Canadian and a back with the talent I have seen he has, I know we can dominate this league for years to come."
At this point in time, the 20 year old Nuck is considered a mostly rounded prospect with good speed, but should look to separate himself into mostly a scatback. A slightly undersized runner, he probably should be the individual taking the goal line hand-offs if it can be avoided. The team will need to invest some draft capital into a power back for those short yardage situations unless Nuck manages to establish himself as a do-it-all superstar with the ability to do everything.

Mike Boss is the best QB that Chestnut Hill has ever seen. Is this a bold statement? Sure. Is it true? Yes. A school that has been home to the likes of Doug Flutie and Matt Ryan, Mike Boss is the Next Big Thing. A local kid, Boss had always dreamed of bringing the Eagles to the promised land. He fell just short of his goal as BC lost to USC in the Fiesta Bowl this past season. With the school's biggest game behind him, Boss now has to look to the future. That future lies in the NSFL, an upstart professional football league geared to give the NFL some competition. The modern-day equivalent to the XFL, the NSFL looks to get the youth audience as well as those looking to see what may be a great train wreck.
Boss is a traditional pocket passer, something that the younger fans may not like. A lot of the QB prospects have big arms or the ability to scramble around the field, but Boss is the traditional quarterback. He's got a sixth sense of knowing when the defenders are coming at him and knowing when to throw the ball at the right time. Boss is being compared to NFL stars Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning. Pretty good company to be around for a kid from Boston. The only problem is, will the other players keep up? Or will Boss leave the NSFL for greener pastures and better competition?

Sinjin Flimjollywop only had 1 year of football under his belt when the University of Michigan heavily pursued him and pulled him on board. A native of a small village in India, Flimjollywop had it rough from the start and overcame many adversities to get where he is today. The most extreme of these adversities has to be when he had his knee absolutely demolished by a Wisconsin offensive lineman only halfway through his freshman year. Through toughness and dedication he managed to come back after doctors told him he never would. He walked back on for Michigan in his junior year and used his natural talent and athleticism to dominate the competition when he was on the field. But that's just it, WHEN he was on the field. He only got to play about 60% of defensive snaps for UM because his coaches were worried he could injure the knee again. During those snaps he looked as good as any defender in football, showing amazing instincts and brutal physicality, but he has just 2.5 years of football experience in his entire life. Many GM's are scared that his instincts won't be enough to overcome the lack of game time. Flimjollywop didn't participate in any pre draft workouts so the exact measurements of his athleticism aren't known, but you can see it on his tape. He insists he is finally at 100% after playing sparingly last season. Whoever takes this Indian Wreckingball will be taking a project player with huge boom or bust potential.
