20 years ago today, I got my first big break in this NFL Draft business.
Still writing those in-depth profiles.
Thankful,

- Washington State right tackle Cole Madison will be wearing (and bringing extra) #3 helmet stickers to the Senior Bowl to honor his teammate and good friend Tyler Hilinski.
- Doug Baldwin taking the mic from @IanFurnessSea and preaching the truth on @Q13FOX Seahawks Gameday. #Seahawks @AaronQ13Fox
00:00 - We’re limited to what we can record at #Seahawks rookie minicamp so I can’t show you the 5-6 easy TDs freakish WR D.K. Metcalf had just today. This is what he did afterwards, though, which is just as encouraging. Easy to get into hyperbole with this guy, but he could be special.
00:00 - Creative drill for receivers here by the Broncos, forcing wideouts to focus on the ball despite the distraction of “traffic” between them and the QB. Oklahoma State’s James Washington and LSU’s DJ Chark handling it just fine.
00:00 - Very encouraging play here by @ras_green. Won’t get the hype of Clowney’s INT but it should. Great recognition of the fake & shows both hustle & burst to close. Breaks down well to trap QB. Made tackling Murray look easy and there is nothing simple about that. #Seahawks
00:00 - Classy gestures by WSU’s Luke Falk and Cole Madison who honored their fallen friend Tyler Hilinski by wearing No. 3 (Falk) and passing out No. 3 stickers at the Senior Bowl. Here is Madison and his helmet.
- Not exactly the pursuit speed UCLA might be looking for at LB, especially given that this TD gave Memphis the late 2Q 20-17 lead.
00:00 - The #Seahawks track record with UDFAs is as impressive as any in the NFL. It continued today with former Cal OT Jake Curhan making the initial 53-man roster, according to a team source.
- Projected 1st round QB hands sizes, for those who wonder (or worry) about such things: Josh Allen: 10 1/8 Sam Darnold: 9 3/8 Lamar Jackson: 9 1/2 Baker Mayfield: 9 1/2 Josh Rosen: 9 7/8 By comparison, 2016 No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff has 9" hands The End.
- This is where WSU LT Andre Dillard’s speed translates to run blocking. Watch how quick he is out of his stance.
00:00 - When you dominate your league and yet don’t get invited to any all-star games or the Combine, you have to blow up your Pro Day, as @VandalFootball LB/TE Kaden Elliss did today. My condolences to the surviving family of that poor sled.
00:00 - Former Oklahoma State safety turned Seahawks standout rookie CB Tre Flowers. Impressive transition and acceleration for 6-3, 203 pounds & 33 7/8” arms. Latest example of Seattle’s remarkable ability to find, develop their model of CBs throughout the Carroll-Schneider era.
