Will Herring

[highschoolcoach]

This is an interesting item from www.draftdaddy.com. Can anybody post any examples of a black player being labeled an "overachiever"? There must be some, but i haven't seen one.


DD.Comment: Former Oregon State safety Sabby Piscitelli was the only prospect to run a sub 4.0 in the short shuttle (20 yard shuttle) at the most recent N.F.L. Combine, but the Auburn Tigers had two players do that at their Pro Day -- Running back Tre Smith and linebacker Will Herring.


Herring, in our opinion, was a big time Senior Bowl and Combine snub. He is constantly labeled as an "overachiever" by the media, but how many linebackers in America could provide blanket coverage on a top notch wide receiver like Sidney Rice of South Carolina in the redzone? Don't believe it, go back and watch the tape of that game in week 5. We already knew Herring was an "achiever" and team leader on the field. Now we know he's a very good workout player, too. Obviously, N.F.L. teams will need to figure out were to play him -- safety or linebacker?

[backrow]

so all 3 players that run below 4.0 shuttle are white... stiff hips must not be bothering them as much...

How is Tre Smith doing these days...any chance that he will get picked up as an undrafted free agent? also yeah that is sweet that 3 white guys ran sub 4.0 short shuttle.

EDIT: Anyone else think he looks liek Mark Wahlberg?
