ESPN came out with there midseason AA teams and Will Fuller is in at WR. Jaylon made CBS's list but not ESPN's, SMDH.

I certainly appreciate the get, Lucky, but ask them why they have Taylor Decker rated ahead of Ronnie Stanley!

For a guy who's been nearly perfect in pass pro all year long, I agree. I don't really put too much stock in these just like to see our guys get some credit when its due.

Fuller blocks well, can catch well (better hands than several give him credit for), elite speed, and no off the field issues, no real reason he shouldn't sneak in to the 1st round.

Will Fuller "dime a dozen" --- what an idiotic statement! Can't be serious, so must be trolling.

I'm not sure who wrote that all-American list, but Jaylon came in at number three on the midseason Chuck Bednarik Award, Lott IMPACT Trophy & Bronko Nagurski Award (defensive player of the year) and number one on the Dick Butkus Award (outstanding linebacker).

For any Bears fans or anyone that follows the league closely...

What do you think of the comparison of Will Fuller and Johnny Knox? Knox had that freakish OD and never looked like he was trying to run fast when he was in fact in hyperdrive.

Were either Fred Biletnikoff in the hands department? No, but Fred would have needed a Corvette to go by Adoree Jackson like Fuller did.

Watch at 1:59 when he blows by Woodson. Charlie had no answer for that kinda fast on that play.

Thats a pretty good comparison. Until Fuller can consistently catch the ball away from his body and not basket catches, I don't see him having an incredibly successful NFl career. I still think its more concentration than actually hand/eye coordination which he should be able to fix fairly easily but it hasn't happened yet. Good news is USC was the first game of the season where he didn't drop a pass. So there is some improvement there.

He's much better than Johnny Knox. Knox wouldn't fight for balls and couldn't run a route. I loved him as a player; he was one of the best deep threats in the league, and I am so happy to hear that he's up and walking after that awful injury suffered against the Seachickens. But the Knox comparison ends with the speed.

Honestly, I always thought Fuller had a little TY Hilton in his game. I could see Fuller getting picked in the second or third rounds. I'm just not so sure about the first. Then again, if AJ Jenkins can get picked in the first round...

I think he's a slightly better version of Devin Smith from OSU who went 37th overall this past year to the Jets.

He's listed at 6'0" 184.....his chances of going in the 1st round probably depend on how accurate that 184 is....but even that is tiny for the NFL. If he shows up the the Combine at 180 lbs and runs a 4.45 I don't think people will care about his film....lots of guys will run that time at a much heavier weight. He needs to be about 195 to be NFL-size. He's not as electric as DeSean Jackson who can get away with being that small (fun fact--DeSean was 169 lbs at the combine).

Hey guys...

First of all, don't neg rep roo. There is some smoke, and he's just relaying rumors.

Second, I know people aren't going to follow my request here but I'd ask everyone to just chill out for a bit please. Thanks.

Third, pursuant to rumor rules... unless you can put something substantial behind it, its kind of a faux pas... so I'm going to soft delete the posts and bring them back if warranted at a later time.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't Irishroo the same one that posted something about a rumor a few weeks back that never materialized?

Was he the one who brought the Folston suspension rumor to the board just before the season?

Doesn't look like it. According to his post history he only had two posts between May and the end of September, and neither were related to Folston. Must have been someone else (Who now needs to be identified and negged for justice!)

[EDIT] Looks like it was an unknown, a guy named IrishBearcat09, but he just bumped Folston's thread with the word "Rumors..." and it went from there: http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/201...ton-notre-dame-signed-loi-56.html#post1575133

So tired of this shit. DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO SHARE DETAILS OR A SOURCE! Otherwise, you're just an asshole, veracity be damned.

Correct, serving naked lap suspension.

Probably making a lot of $$$ bills with that ND degree too. Best of luck to Jimmy.

Now, who is the next on-campus info dropper...Jimmy, in all his greatness, did not setup his successor very well.

In his own absence, Jimmy is getting way too much credit for being the ear to the campus ground. He was like 0 for the century on his final rumblings. We're better off without one. I think he was drinking heavily at the end. No info.
