PS is an intriguing draft prospect. His FB abilities were known, coming from Stanford, but he got to show off some of his running and more importantly for an NFL FB, his receiving ability. He'll definitely impress if he gets to the combine tests.

I really think he was hampered by injury most of the season (both shoulders) or he would have performed much better.

It was very obvious after every carry he got where he would come up with both arms held close to his body.

Is that Jerry Glanville in the cowboy hat?

Sure is. He is the DC for the West team.

That's funny. I hadn't thought of him in some time. But googling, I found out he used to be an assistant coach at Tech. I never knew that.

He was a very different type coach than the flts were used to seeing. Would loudly demand defensive players aggressively fly to the ball. Spring game was a hoot. At that time all gt had was some talent and two good defensive coaches who went on to be head coaches in nfl.

Jerry could always make me laugh. Bud Carson was probably the best defensive coach I've known. Unfortunately, too many players and alumni disliked him because he wasn't Dodd.

2016 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl Roster Analysis

http://collegiate.nflpa.com/2016-nflpa-collegiate-bowl-roster-analysis/

Patrick Skov, FB, Georgia Tech
A transfer from Stanford and the younger brother of NFL linebacker Shayne Skov, Patrick Skov paved his own path at Georgia Tech. As the B back, he also served to open the path for those behind him at times, too. He had three touchdowns and 72 yards rushing in the first game of the season, and in an exciting game against Notre Dame, he showcased his soft hands when he had three total touchdowns, including two receiving scores.

Just heard some great comments on Jamal and DJ (even DJ isn't playing), the commentator said the coaches were raving about both Jamal and DJ as to how well schooled they are in the fundamentals, specifically mentioned/credited Coach Speed!
