Hate Shaq didn't make the list.

Hate Shaq didn't make the list.

Agreed; he made every All-American team there was (from 1st Team to 3rd Team) and even Mike Mayock said he'd did well at the Senior Bowl, and he works for the NFL Network and rarely says ANYTHING nice about any player coming from our Offense. Total BS.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Smelter won't be able to do the physical things will he? That torn ACL should take 6-9 months ......... and then he has to get back in running/cutting shape.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Well Shaq was unrated coming out of high school, so there's your problem right there.

Oh no, he didn't go there!

 

[B Lifsey]

Just WOW on no Shaq!

OFFENSIVE GUARD/CENTER

SNUB: Shaquille Mason, Georgia Tech
Arguably the most glaring snub regardless of position, Mason played guard in Georgia Tech's triple-option offense, so it was tough to evaluate him. But he showed the balance, power and movements to lead some to believe he has NFL starter potential at center.

As my late mother would say, they're just being tacky not inviting him! Tacky, tacky, tacky

Whatever, idiotic selection committee. Techs pro day will be packed. Scouts have hours of film, can conduct private sessions and interviews, whatever they need.

Shaq and smelter will be impact players at the next level. In fact, a former tech player and nfl position coach was raving about smelter this past year.

It'll go a long way to dispute negative recruiting with successful wr AND oline at the next level.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Criminal omission. But really does not surprise me. The NFL is still a little bit of good 'ol boys club.

Synjyn "Davis" and Isaiah Johnson are also listed under "Other Snubs" for RB and Safety.

 

[DvilleJacket]

That is just crazy he didnt get invited! Insane is more like it!

Forgot Nealy at LB as well. CBSSports very high on a lot of our guys.

 

[ATL1]

Cant they add players at later dates?

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

I thought Shaq's performance at the Senior Bowl week had earned him a slot. This is very surprising. I still think he goes in the top 5 rounds.

 

[GTonTop88]

Whoever drafts Shaq will be gettin a steal, Smelter too.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Makes me want to boycott the NFL

 

[zhavenor]

I wonder what the reasoning is. It cannot simply be his height, can it?

I even thought that Days might have a shot at it, based on the Orange Bowl if nothing else. He demonstrated, I thought, that he could run off tackle, looking for holes, in the second half. But maybe both he and Mason can catch on as free agents.
