Irish Mob '13 Player Comparisons

[STLDomer]

There has been a lot of talk of who Greg Bryant compares to and today on the II podcast this question was posed, what about other comparisons for the 2013 class? Some they addressed:

Greg Bryant - Theo Riddick 2.0
Steve Elmer - Sam Young
Jaylon Smith - Aldon Smith

 

[NDPhilly]

Tarean Folston = Gio Bernard coming out

 

[Irishnuke]

I love Theo Riddick but I would hope Bryant has a more productive career than him.

 

[STLDomer]

I got James Onwualu as a poor man's Golden Tate

 

[NDPhilly]

Durham Smythe = John Carlson

 

[Luckylucci]

I love the Jaylon Smith = Aldon Smith. Heck I just love Jaylon, so jacked to watch him play.

 

[woolybug25]

Are we talking about what we think they will end up being like or what they are like now? Because as we have talked about ad nasuem... Bryant is like a "supercharged Theo" right now, but that is compared to senior season Theo, not baby faced 17 year old Theo.

By the time Bryant is a senior, I don't think Theo comparisons will be very accurate.

Folston- Armando Allen
Fuller- TJ Jones
Randolph- Filer

Don't you put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby!

To me Jaylon Smith is more of a Dion Jordan type of player. A LB who can cover a lot of ground because of his athleticism. Not a natural, strictly pass-rusher like Aldon Smith.

Greg Bryant - Trent Richardson

Jaylon Smith - Dion Jordan

Hunter Bivin - Barrett Jones

Max Redfield - Clinton Dix

Isaac Rochell - Tyson Jackson

 

[woolybug25]

Max Redfield - Adrian Wilson, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals

 

[STLDomer]

Jacob Matuska - Chris Long

I think he'll end up being around 6'4 285

 

[Domina Nostra]

Don't you put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby!

LOL! I meant to say Flemming

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Jay Hayes = Kris Jenkins

Love this one. In terms of being versatile linemen, I definitely agree.

You are referring to just body types right?

You are referring to just body types right?

Pretty much. As a Rams fan he came to mind. Looks more like a 4-3 end than a 3-4 end or OLB. His defensive film seemed pretty raw.

I'm guessing u disagree?

It was filmed raw? Like Eddy Murphy Raw?

Hard to compare a Pro Bowler and All American to a 3 recruit...

but you shouldn't look at the stars!!!!

 

[Wild Bill]

Jaylon Smith = Julian Peterson

Long, lean athletes. I remember watching a Niner game years ago where Peterson lined up at D-End, linebacker and safety. Jaylon has the same versatility and a higher ceiling, IMO.

I'm not saying he's the next Chris Long. It's hard to compare a kid to anyone but someone that was good

 

[Wild Bill]

Malik Zaire = Steve Young

Cerebral south paw with wheels (fingers crossed).

Doug Randolph = Lance Briggs

 

[West Coast Domer]

Deeb= Brian Urlacher

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Steve Elmer = Babe Ruth

Deeb= Brian Urlacher

You had to one up and go with the Hall of Famer and the I see you

I think that one has more to do with the fact that they look exactly the same:

Ha. Yeah. While I see your point, I'm a huge Deeb fan and think he is massively underrated whereas Matuska is right where he belongs, IMNSHO.

Corey Robinson=Maurice Stovall

James Onwualu=Golden Tate

Tarean Folston=Gio Bernard

Rashad Kinlaw=Rhema McKnight

 

[STLDomer]

Corey Robinson=Maurice Stovall

James Onwualu=Golden Tate

Tarean Folston=Gio Bernard

Rashad Kinlaw=Rhema McKnight

So u think Kinlaw end up at WR? He's definitely the biggest enigma in this class
