Per this article, Toledo has 5 draft prospects and we have 3 (Cox, Burns, Gilchrist)...not bad for a G5 matchup:

I guess his stats are off this year because of the injury stuff he had to deal with, maybe that's why. Also, this is only talking about the draft...free agency is also a possibility.

John is relatively slow, small, and doesn't have the range of a true inside linebacker at the NFL level. He would be moved to OLB at his size but isn't quick enough considering the tight ends of today.

I think you guys are forgetting Alex gray. 6'3 220 with 4.4 speed. I could also argue for our DTs and mondo Williams.

Off the top of my head: Middleton, Cadet, Presley, Murrell, Hunter, and of course John Settle.

Agree on all points. Not sure Gray is an NFL player but if he replicates that 40 time at our pro day he'll at least be in someone's camp. I also think Collins will get a look somewhere.
