Dan Connor, PSU linebacker. He just plays with great balance and closes better than any linebacker i've seen so far this year. Dont think its a reach to say he's better than Poz(who's pretty darn good in his own right).

He outplayed Posluszny last year. Remember Poz was coming off a horrific injury in the Orange Bowl but he's more athletic and he'll be picked higher than Poz.

Malcolm Kelly needs to visit a weight room a few times before he declares. No question he's an excellent prospect with his speed, acceleration, and hands though.

I just got tapes of him (among other PSU guys) to evaluate. He's certainly on the radar for the 1st LB to be drafted. You're dead-on about his balance, it's textbook.

For sure, it reminded me a little of Urlacher, of course facing Notre Dame isnt exactly like facing the Chargers.

Oct. 20. Want to mention 4 players that i saw play yesterday.

Sedric Ellis, DL USC. The guy was a beast out there against the Irish, granted its Notre Dame but he is big, quick and brings the payload, Oregon better have their A game working against USC.

Jonathon Stewart,rb Oregon. A strong back who again was playing against less than quality defenders(Washinton) but strong, quick and obviously can carry the ball 30 times a game.

Chris Long, DL, Virginia. Flat out put on a clinic against Maryland, doesnt take any downs off and like is dad is a true tactition of the game. Clearly a top 10 pick in the draft.

Jordy Nelson, WR, KSU. You wont see his name on too many of the lists of the top WRs in the country but this guy has few peers at the receiver position, 6-3 and about 215 to 220 lbs he is a semi possesion receiver with good hands and top end speed. Teams like the Colts and the Pats find these kind of guys and everyone else looks stupid because they dont.
