I wish he had ran also, also wish Grant Stuard had ran and done the other drills not sure why he DNP on them
My biggest worry with Stevenson is his injury issues. He missed a good bit of time with injuries even last season which was shortened because of covid.
he is plenty fast enough and a good KR I expect the earliest he would go would be late in the 4th or 5th rounds
I do love Payton Turner, he plays hard and I believe with better coaching and conditioning he could have a big upside.
Stevenson could be the next AB but my thought is for the draft to get drafted you need to have a viable reason. Stevenson isn’t a physical specimen, didn’t dominate or even lead his team in receiving, and has more question marks than answers. He definitely gets invited to a camp and has an outside shot at being drafted but his best bet to make a roster is on special teams and I don’t think he has value besides return ability. I just don’t see him being a gunner. So then he needs to show enough receiving ability to be a teams 4th option. I just don’t see that yet.
Likely practice squad player and if he can stick on a squad and physically develop and absorb the playbook year two is his best bet to making a team.
Turner I feel with his power, long arms, bullrush, and run defense ability at very least is a rotational guy his first year. I think a year of NFL weight training and nutrition goes a long way for him. I also think he’d be a nice complimentary piece with highsmith. Highsmith is more speed and bend but can’t bullrush and has a hard time sealing the edge. Turner has a hard time with speed and bend but his bullrush and ability to play the run and seal and edge is superb. Could be lightening and thunder.
Grant Stuard surprised me he didn’t run. I mean he’s not a great athlete so it’s not like he’s surprising anyone if he runs a 4.8. But if the stars align and he ran a 4.6 scouts would take note. He reminds me of Robert Spillane. A passionate football player who will make it with effort and what is between his ears. Like Stevenson going to have to show special teams value which I have no doubt Stuard excels at. But he will have to show enough to be a backup to make a roster. Probably UDFA that makes PS.
