Okay, this guy is super under the radar, ironically because he played at Ohio State.
My guy is Demetrius Knox, who had twenty starts at right guard before he went down with a Lisfranc injury in the Michigan game. He couldn't participate at the combine or his pro day.
I discovered him looking at tape of other OSU players-because there is so much debate about Haskins, and because the two receivers are getting a lot of attention. (Haskins is underrated, I believe).
I also wanted to see Michael Jordan, who is built like a tackle but played center. He gets a lot of mention as a G/C type because he was the only true freshman to start for the Buckeyes (my alma mater) other than Orlando Pace.
What I discovered is I'm not interested in Jordan...at all. But I kept looking at the guy to his right, Knox.
He showed great technique. You couldn't cross his face. And when you bull rushed him he got under you, lifted, and locked you out. I watched him bulldoze defenders and execute combo blocks. Super impressed.
I won't pretend to be a scout, but I really felt like he's a guy you could bring in, get him healthy, and develop.
