[Cityofchampions33]

Jarvis Herring:

Strengths:

Tough and physical...Excellent versus the run...Solid and reliable tackler...Versatile with experience at both corner and safety...Was very productive throughout his career...Special teams potential...Smart and a team leader with great intangibles.

 

Weaknesses:

Does not have very good speed...Struggles in coverage...Ball skills are below average...Lacks a burst to recover and close...Has some durability concerns...Ran into off-the-field trouble on multiple occasions and character is a major question.

 

Freddie Roach:

Strengths:

Has good size and a solid frame...Big hitter who can lay the lumber...Has great instincts...A force against the run...Makes a lot of plays behind the line...Sheds blocks and works through traffic well...Is very strong...Versatile and has played both outside and middle linebacker...A hard worker and leader with premier intangibles...Has a ton of starting experience against top competition in the SEC.

 

Weaknesses:

Does not have the timed speed you look for...Struggles in coverage and his range is limited...Is not a great natural athlete...Has dealt with some injuries in the past and durability is a concern...Never put up eye-popping numbers statistically during his career...Probably has a limited pro upside due to his physical shortcomings.

 

Pierre Woods:

Strengths:

Has great size and a tall, rangy frame with long arms...A tremendous natural athlete...Versatile with experience at multiple positions...An outstanding pass rusher off the edge...Has played a lot of Big Ten football...Still has some upside.

 

Weaknesses:

A DE / OLB 'tweener who might not have a true pro position...Needs to get stronger...Is not very instinctive, especially for a linebacker...An underachiever who doesn't play up to his measurables...Probably won't fit well in every scheme.

i could see Roach, Woods and Vernell Brown possibly making the team. The rest of the guys are longshots
