Shawnbrey invited to NFL Combine

[SMU 86]

your right Dooby-but the NFL doesn't know how good he is either because he hasn't run out of a traditional backfield. He reads and reacts in a finesse running game-which is what I've said from Day 1-that's really all there is to a Run and Shoot running back. NFL has to project him to a more traditional offense, facing more traditional defensive alignment designed to focus on running plays rather than chasing 4-5 receivers around the field.

The people at Miami said that he did good out of a pro set formation. He actually had to get use to the spread formation. I think he will be fine.

I wonder how much June had to do with this???

That has nothing to do with whether film exists on him or not. He played as both a true freshman and sophomore so they have film on him. JJ admits he's fighting an uphill battle - he also had a good discussion at the last luncheon of all the reasons Shawnbrey's leaving.

when was the last time we had 2 players drafted in the same draft? Has it happened since the DP?

Jacoby Rhinehart and Donald Mitchell
