That Dude!

Football is a sport that mainly recruits players based on potential. After talking to a college coach from the ACC, I believe this even more. He said that potential is about 75% of the recruiting process. If potential alone is the reason why Ray Drew was recruited, that is good enough for me.

The 6'5” 245 lb. senior out of Thomasville, GA has all the potential in the world. Besides his huge frame that will easily add more weight once you put on the tape, it is clear that Drew is extremely athletic. Drew is an extremely hard-nosed player; he seems to always be around the ball, whether he is chasing it down from the backside or spilling multiple blockers. It is extremely difficult for tackles to get depth against Drew because of his speed. By the time they set up, Drew is usually turning the corner on the way to the quarterback. Drew's tremendous strength is apparent even on film. His ability to use great leverage allows Drew to remain in dominant and dictating positions of attack.

If Drew continues to improve upon his skill set, the sky is the limit. He will clearly get stronger and faster, and his technique is already pretty good when it comes to natural body position. The one thing he will benefit from the most is consistent competition and excellent coaching. Those things, along with a solid training program and barring any injury, will secure a place for Drewin the NFL someday.

Check out Ray Drew's video and see what you think........
