    I was surprised this was not already a post but I looked at the tv map and realized there was not much coverage

    I don’t know how to use video clips so I’ll use words and hopefully someone will find the video

    Darnell took a pass to the left and first sent a DB flying out of his way with a stiff arm and later on the same run sent another DB backwards ass over teacups

    On another play to the right he was lead blocking and two dinky DB’s came up and he basically blocked both of them by pushing the first one backwards and took the second one out with the first one’s body

    The man is a force to be reckoned with

    If you put a DB against him it won’t work

    If you substitute a LB then receivers should be one on one

    And that’s all I have to say about that

    Darnell was a Top 32 Player on my board heading into that 2023 Draft. The major reason he fell was due to a lack of production; something I did acknowledge back when I had my scouting report on him. That said, I also had stated that he could quickly outperform the concerns people had about him given his limited opportunities at Georgia. Years later and we are starting to see that manifest more and more.


    Overall, among the Players I expect to receive an extension from Khan's Inaugural Draft Class, Darnell should be near the top; only Nick Herbig being better.

    I can't imagine what a 6'0" 200lb defensive back thinks when that load is bearing down on you.

    I liked the McDonald’s stiff arm 75 yard td play better, but Washington continues to show why I was screaming for the Steelers to draft him.

    Have to wonder if Rudolph will continue to target him like Rodgers did. Obviously he and Rodgers were building a connection.

    Assuming Rudolph stays in at QB.

    This title would be a great band name from the 50s-60s era.

    I took a video of a train in Switzerland that abruptly ended when it crossed my mind I was still on the tracks :facepalm:

    I could watch that clip all day long! In fact, it's running as a continuous loop on my TV screen saver...

    It's the whole reason I was upset when some people were talking about turning him into a OL man. That can be way later in his career, but at his age now if would be ridiculous to only use him for that.

    That's is a serious question, because they all see thing differently. Let's hope he will if he starts.
