NFL scouts have supposedly raved about this guy for the last two years. He clearly passes the eyeball test and has shown some glimpses, but the film is going to end up telling the real story when all is said and done.

Yeah - if I was forced to give an NFL scout an honest assessment, in gif format only...

I'd bet Mills will be drafted higher than the film would suggest (while Cross goes lower). NFL guys love them some measurables, and figure they'll coach him up.

He's on the "freaks" list every year.
Maybe they're asking him to do things that don't end up on the stat sheet?

You nailed it. He has the size, strength and athleticism scouts drool over. Even though his stats and the tape don’t match his physical attributes. He is going to be just like Marist: physically gifted and some how get drafted in the 3rd round though tape and stats don’t warrant it lol

Anyone read Sampsons article in the Athletic? Seems like Miami had a pretty high opinion of our interior DL

O'Malley said they were prepping Sevillano, not Mukam when Mills went down vs IU. Never used either.
If Sevillano can give us 20 snaps of run-stuffing that'd be great. Any chance Onye's personal situation resolves over the holidays? Mainly Rubio needs to step up. Good thing those portal rumors of last week didn't come to pass.

I totally forgot about Onye. He’s probably not even in town now that school is over but also not in the transfer portal so who knows?

because he is aiming for the NFL draft that'll probably be kept hush hush
I'm sure the NFL scouts will never find out...

It's weird b/c Freeman on Friday night made it sound like Mills would be back (he was walking/limping on the sidelines during the game, not, like, in the locker room), even said "it's not season-ending." And then the next day it was season-ending. Similar to the BenMo situation where one day he was playing and the next he was done for the year.

I realize they're not obligated to tell the public much but when a key player's status suddenly changes like that, a little transparency isn't the worst thing in the world.

He should get Goolsby as his agent/promotor heading into the draft.

Goolsby has been the one most critical of Mills during his career. Usually in a constructive way, but he's far from being a hype/promoter guy for him.
