Mike Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I always find it odd that Kirk rarely, if ever, seems to mention these things before the MBB Twitter account does. Always appreciate the fact that Darrin Bauming will at least acknowledge how he finds these unannounced signings. Must be pure coincidence with Kirk. Anyways ... I like this guy. Good motor. Good size and speed for a DE. voodoochylde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Morehouse WR Derrick Hector is a tall athletic receiver at 6-4 215 lbs that has good size and uses his frame well to shield away opponents. He gets vertical on defenders and fights to make the reception. He also displays good eye/hand coordination and shows strong hands when making tough catches over the middle. Hector looks smooth coming out of his breaks but tends to get a little high sometimes when setting up his routes. He clutches the ball into his body on some intermediate routes and needs to work on consistently catching the ball more with his hands. He also needs to work on coming back to the quarterback on certain pass plays. Hector was one of the biggest receivers during the HBCU Bowl week and impressed NFL scouts in practices with how fluid he looked releasing off the line with quick top speed and also his burst when selling the deep route. Hector uses his size and strength to his advantage and gives good effort blocking downfield. He also showed his ability as a red zone threat consistently winning the jump ball battle against just about every defensive back he faced. Hector put up productive numbers considering the offense he played in and was also a two time all conference performer. A good pro day will increase his chances on receiving an opportunity in training camp. Hector has the size, speed and receiver skills to play at the next level and could be a good candidate as a fifth receiver. He will have to pull together a complete game in training camp and quickly adjust to better competition to give himself the best opportunity to make an active NFL roster or practice squad.

gbill2004 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I like the part in his scouting report that he's a good downfield blocker and that he always beats DB's in the red zone on jump balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBBFanWest Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Does it have to be whole numbers? Because if not, 8.5 is available Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Does it have to be whole numbers? Because if not, 8.5 is available Eventually, with teams retiring numbers to honour great players, there will be no numbers left, so we might start to see fractional numbers on player jerseys.
