This is a GOOD reason why we shouldn't touch a WR in the 1st.

^ that's the type of player you want.. A player that every year, has gotten better as he's been coached. He is a specimen.

gave you some reputation points freddy for posting them stats. good job.

are you going to give any kind of arguement? or is it just because you dont like the way he looks? and the fact his dad is a HOF? and is on tv all the time? seriously, at least give a reason why you think he's overrated. Cus so far everyone has given you reasons why he ISNT.
like i said earlier, he had 3 good games as a senior. his rise in draft status is due to being a work out warrior. i actually like his dad on the pre game show. im not sure why your getting so worked up over someone that will never wear a skins uni. maybe you and him should be posting in the man crush thread? i really have nothing against him. i just think someone is going to make a huge mistake taking him so early

and like i referred to earlier, Mumula had 19 sacks his junior year at Boston college. how did he work out for the eagles?

NO, actually ill post in this thread since I made it. And that Man crush thread is for skins players only. And I dont care if he ever wears a skins uni or not, I give layers their respect when they have earned it and to say he had 3 good games as a senior shows you have NO idea what you are talking about. He has been playing consistant for 2+ years. How can you just say he only had 3 good games? And a workout warrior wouldnt be able to do those drills as good as he did. And he doesnt care where he gets picked, he just cares about his future and that says alotabout him. I live in Virginia, and you live in PA. I think I know ALOT more about chris long than you do. You still havent given a valid reason to why he's overrated though

chris long is not Mumula. You cant even compare the two. are you Serious with this arguement? You are showing your ignorance on the subject by these irrelavent responses.. All of that, has NOTHING to do with how good Chris Long is. NOTHING.

Long enrolled at the University of Virginia in 2004. He provided depth on the line, but only played in 6 games after missing five due to an illness. Long ended the season with only five tackles, two for a loss, and a sack. His first career tackle came against North Carolina, while his first tackle for a loss came against Miami. His first career sack came against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

In 2005, as a sophomore, Long started all the games of the season. Long practiced by being matched up against All-American offensive lineman D'Brickashaw Ferguson in training camp and practice.[2] Long averaged 3.8 tackles per game, leading all Virginia defensive lineman. He totaled 46 tackles, with 10 tackles for a loss and 2 sacks. His 26 quarterback pressues led his team. He also shared the team lead in pass break-ups with Marcus Hamilton with seven. In his first start, Long had seven tackles against Western Michigan. He then had six tackles, two for a loss, and a sack against North Carolina, followed by a three tackle, 10 quarterback pressure day against Georgia Tech and Reggie Ball. In the Music City Bowl against Minnesota, Long had a career-high 9 tackles, one for a loss.[2]

In 2006, Long's junior year, he had his best campaign yet. Long earned second-team all-ACC honors and was voted team captain. While starting all games, Long recorded 57 tackles, 12 for a loss, and 4 sacks. He also had one pass break-up and 21 quarterback pressures. His 4.8 tackles per game was fourth among ACC defensive lineman. Long had a season-high three tackles for a loss against East Carolina, then 10 tackles against Western Michigan. At the team's award banquet, Long earned three awards: Ned McDonald Award for the top defensive player, the Colonel F.C. McCue Award for the most outstanding interior lineman and the Joe Palumbo Award for self-sacrifice, dedication, and enthusiasm. He was also a finalist for the Dudley Award, for the most outstanding player in the state of Virginia and was an All-State selection.

Long entered the 2007 season as a candidate for the Outland Trophy, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Bednarik Trophy, Lombardi Trophy, and Hendricks Award.

Following his 14-sack performance his senior season, He was selected as a consensus First-team All-American. Long was also voted Team captain for the second year in a row. His 14 sacks were third in the country in sacks with an average of 1.13/g. Long was fourth nationally in tackling by a lineman, averaging 6.3 tackles per game and tied for 10th in the nation in tackles for loss, averaging 1.58/g. Additionally, Long tied for sixth in the country among defensive linemen in pass break ups (PBU) with seven and by adding in his interception, he was tied for fifth in the country among defensive linemen in passes defended (PBU+INTs) with eight.

"You want to talk about a chip off the old block? This is a young man that plays absolutely lights-out football," North Carolina head coach Butch Davis said. "Chris Long has to be one of the premier defensive linemen in the country."


Only 3 good games his senior year my ass... try to be a little more informed next time you voice an opinion that has no substance.

gave you some reputation points freddy for posting them stats. good job.

thanks!

im so sorry my opinion doesn't jive with your man love for Chris Long. nice post. all im saying that if his combine workout wasn't off the charts, no one is talking about him in the first round. we can agree to disagree

They were talking about this guy WAY before the combine...so that's not really a valid argument. He was going to be a top five pick the minute he graduated. If you're trying to make the argument that had his combine performance been mediocre, he would have slid...well, that argument applies to everyone in the draft. I'm not saying we should put this guy's bust in Canton just yet...but to say that he isn't good, or that he's overrated..or to say that he only had THREE good games in college is utterly ridiculous.

BTW...which three games are you referring to..I may have missed it in another post
