Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaveRoller" data-source="post: 608925" data-attributes="member: 9226">Serious question, given that you believe he is every bit the athlete that Shaq Thompson and Dr. ***** is, how is it possible that Ryan, whom you insist possesses "wonderful football smarts and knows angles better than most his age" was drafted 3 and 2 rounds later than Thompson & Dr. *****, respectively?We all hope Ryan is successful in Green Bay, but to pretend he does not have serious physical limitations is simply denying reality. In fact, Mayock, while generally praising his selection, emphasized Ryan's physical deficiencies: "I followed (Ryan) around a little bit at the East-West game, and he struggled early in man coverage. A little tight in the hips, not a tremendous athlete, but he understands angles, he understands the game." <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2015/05/02/michigans-jake-ryan-solid-pick-for-packers/26774799/" target="_blank">http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2015/05/02/michigans-jake-ryan-solid-pick-for-packers/26774799/</a>Just like you did, Mayock highlighted Ryan's understanding of the game as his key attribute. Seems like that was always trumpeted as AJ's biggest contribution to the team.I stand by the non-lazy comparison of Ryan being a slower AJ Hawk. Hope he turns out to be much more than that.</blockquote>
