Matt and Ryan and Petra and I were prepping for the NFL Combine a couple weeks ago and these guys came out to film us.
But seriously, we spent the day with some of this year's prospects from Rep1 Sports - jumping and dashing and lifting and whatnot.
Nick Kasa from Colorado.
Ryan Otten from San Jose State.
The guys were all very focused as this was one of their last workouts before heading to Indy for the NFL Combine.
This WR Ryan Swope from Texas A&M was amazing - this kid could jump and run like none other. He's actually a finalist right now to be on the cover of the next EA Sports NCAA College Football game - you check that out and
vote for Ryan here.
David Quissenberry from San Jose State - really nice guy, grew up surfing in Encinitas.
Our boy Latavius Murray, a running back from Central Florida.
It was a cool shoot. Interviewing these guys was interesting because they're at such a unique point in their journeys. They've all chased this dream for so long and are now on the brink of being drafted into the NFL. A few weeks ago they were broke and living in dingy college apartments and now the possibility of cashing NFL checks is hanging right in front of them. Very much looking forward to keeping an eye on where these guys end up and filming with all of them again.
Shout out to Nima and everyone over at
Rep1 for bringing us out.
