re: 2017 RMD: In The Books!

All good though... I like a good comeback story anyways. In round 18, Team FibonacciSquared selects K'Rojhn Calbert, Offensive Line - Tennessee.




Perhaps my favorite description for a football player that I've ever seen in an article:

quote:

---

Raw as a piece of tuna, Calbert lacks any semblance of fundamentals, but he’s a smart kid, an infectious personality and a straight mauler on the field.

He has long arms and a strong frame, and at close to 300 pounds, he clocked a 4.9-second 40-yard dash. Several coaches believe Calbert has the highest-ceiling of any lineman in the state not named Trey Smith — a consensus 5-star talent.

< insert joke about 5 star hearts... >

For anyone who isn't familiar, after an ACL tear his freshman year of highschool and a failed surgery, he largely didn't play for the first 3 years of high school. So he's got a lot of learning to do, but what he lacks in technique and fundamentals, he makes up for in natural ability and effort. His tape is messy, but dude just wants to push people down in any way shape or form... it's like a mad dash to go crush fools.

He's a project, no doubt, but I'd call him a grade A+ potential project that could just as easily not pan out. I feel like OL is such a crapshoot anyways, that I'll take the high ceiling guy if he can stay healthy and get some good coaching.
