Pre-Draft Interviews

Packers virtually meeting with Ambry Thomas

From The Draft Network: “Thomas was most effective in coverage playing in press and disrupting route releases inside the contact window—he’s a physical player who does well when able to get his hands on the receiver and upset the timing of patterns."


Thomas had a solid 2019 season, but sat out 2020.

I love Ambry in the 4th, I just think he will be gone and am not high enough on him for our 3rd.

• K.J. Britt, Linebacker, Auburn (VIR)
• Zaven Collins, Outside Linebacker, Tulsa (VIR)
• Demetric Felton, Wide Receiver, UCLA (VIR)
• Thomas Graham Jr., Cornerback, Oregon (VIR)

Lol. So now they’re not saying how many times a player has met?

I’m telling you...Walter either uses dubious sources or just makes **** up.

Stove is a solid #2 but if Adams were to go down we'd have to have one of the other guys step up and be the #1 while Adams was hurt.

Wait...you think Stove is actual #2 level WR at the next level? I strongly disagree, didn't really do anything excellent except as a gunner.

 

[GleefulGary]

Stove wasn’t even the #2 at Auburn...

Second Samuel interview confirmed.

He was a possession receiver with Bo Nix (Whom I don't think is great) as his QB. With Rodgers he's a 2.

Stove...

1) Small

2) Bad Athlete

3) Not Productive

4) Old

Not only is this not a #2 receiver; I doubt he makes a roster.

 

[GleefulGary]

Ric has a flair for bad takes every year.




WOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[RicFlairoftheNFL]

Please Gary,

TELL ME you aren't trying to tell me Bo Nix is a great quarterback

 

[GleefulGary]

Please Gary,

TELL ME you aren't trying to tell me Bo Nix is a great quarterback

I am not.

Stove just isn’t very good.

He’s not big, he’s not explosive, he’s not fast. He was their 3rd WR at Auburn. I doubt he’s could ever be WR2 in GB. In fact, I’d be surprised if he’s in the NFL in 3 years.
