That is strange. I always thought he was one of the surest tacklers on the team.

Well that doesn't say much considering the overall tackling ability of our team.

That being said I thought he was a pretty good tackler.

Agree. I think his best shot is a special teamer, just fly downfield and hit people

He is a good tackler, but he also was out of position a lot and missed chances for tackles. You could also make the argument he went for the kill shot and didnt make the tackle a few too many times. I don't have a problem with his want to get a kill shot in, but he definitely took himself out of a lot of plays this year with poor angles and slow reaction.

Just ran an unofficial 4.59 40 on his first attempt. Also, repped 18 times on the bench. Both of those appead to be pretty solid numbers in comparison to other safeties at the combine.

He's definitely helping his stock so far - but it's the agility drills and DB specific drills that will help him most.

Think he could be a good safety in the box and special teams guy....just hope someone drafts him....poor man's Patrick Chung?

I agree, and I see a very high floor here as a later round pick. Therefore, making it a no brainer for me that he gets drafted. Like you stated, will probably make solid contributions on ST's at worst.

I wonder if he could play the "Deone Bucannon" role.

Do you mean a high floor, low ceiling? Because if he has a low floor wouldn't he be undraftable?

Good catch, yes high floor would be the words I was looking for.

Sherm Sticky · Feb 29, 2016

Those are real solid numbers for safety spot.

Don't forget he could play a little Nickle

Good role player and an asset to a team. The elite teams make a living off drafting guys like that in the late rounds.

SoDakDomer · Feb 29, 2016

Didn't Blanton run like a 4.71 40 during either his pro day or the combine and he was drafted in the 6th round by the Vikings. Not sure anyone has stated otherwise but I think Shu will get drafted.

As long as it's low on the back ... and hard.

Yeah? I am waiting for him to master shrinking down the size of his videos in his posting.

(Italics strategically used to show I am only half kidding.)

I agree. It was such a unique idea to start a thread based on someone that ND was recruiting. Bravo!

Les as dc? Would not be an improvement as HC, that's for sure.

stlnd01 · Sep 29, 2016

Saw he was waived by Tampa in the preseason. Is he playing anywhere this season? Always liked Shumate. Guy hit like a truck.

He was waived with an injury designation, so he might not be healthy enough to sign with another team. https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/elijah-shumate-reaches-injury-settlement-with-bucs/amp/

I think Les would be a slight improvement as a HC over Kelly. Marginal, slight improvement...

I think a step back in coaching, but he would put his back (and chest) into crootin.
