Alongside his brother, Dante, Darius Stills makes up a powerful defensive front for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Much like his brother, Darius benefited from a breakout 2019 season in which he saw increased playing time. As we continue our summer scouting series, in which we take an extended look at some lesser-known prospects, it’s time to once again shift our focus to the Big 12 and look at Darius Stills. In this report, I’ll provide some background on Darius Stills and examine how he found his way to West Virginia. Next, I’ll provide some game film as we look at…

There are several traits that an interior lineman must possess. They have to be tough as nails, given that they’re in the trenches on every play. In addition to their toughness, they have to display a level of quickness out of their stance. They have to be in sync with the quarterback. Drake Jackson, a four-year starter for the University of Kentucky Wildcats, is an interior lineman that possesses all of the above traits. In this summer scouting profile, we’ll take a look at how Drake Jackson got to this point, as well as breaking down some film on how…

The inside linebacker position can be a difficult one to master. Much like a quarterback on offense, an inside linebacker is responsible for pre-snap reads, ensuring that his teammates are in the best position possible, and has to make plays on the field. Monty Rice, the inside linebacker for the University of Georgia Bulldogs, is one of the best to do it in today’s college football. In this article, I’ll explain why I think he’s one of the best. I’ll provide some background on his career, and then we’ll breakdown some tape on Rice. This is just another Summer scouting…

Last season, we were fortunate enough to see glimpses of what Dante Stills is capable of for the Mountaineers. Stills only appeared in 447 defensive snaps in 2019, but racked up an impressive 26 total tackles and 8 sacks.

In this article, as we continue our 2020 Summer Scouting series, I’ll examine what makes Dante Stills special and why I believe he’s poised for a breakout season. I’ll also explain…

Within the past week, several conferences, including the Big Ten and Pac-12, have opted to alter their collegiate schedules. The coronavirus pandemic remains a fluid situation, so it’s no surprise that the season won’t be played as originally scheduled. On Friday, Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren announced that the Big Ten would play a conference-only schedule in 2020. By doing so, this will grant the conference some much-needed flexibility in scheduling should an outbreak occur. As is the case now, the league could potentially suspend play for several weeks. Should they do so, they’ll still hit the same target for…

The National Football League, in general, is built upon mid-round NFL Draft prospects. Players like these not only provide much needed depth on the roster, but also have the potential to be long-term contributors. In the case of North Carolina wide receiver Dyami Brown, he has the potential to be one of these long-term prospects.

In this article, we’ll examine Dyami Brown’s abilities and breakdown his draft stock. I…

As we get ready to head into the 2020 College Football season, we here at NFL Draft Lounge have begun the process of scouting potential 2021 NFL Draft prospects. Throughout this process, I’ve come across several players that have popped on film. Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy is a prospect that popped on film nearly every time I watched his film. Recently, he came in at ninth overall on our Top Ten 2021 NFL Draft Quarterbacks. However, I felt necessary to dive into his film deeper for a more in-depth scouting report. I hope you all enjoy! The Background…

Nestled in the middle of the State of Iowa lies the city of Ames, home of the Iowa State Cyclones. On the roster for the Iowa State Cyclones is an old school tight end, Charlie Kolar. While I’ll breakdown his playing-style later in this article, in short, he plays the position the way that it should be. Kolar looks for contact and punishes defenders that get in his way. While much of the country might not be familiar with Charlie Kolar, he’s certainly one to keep on your radar. In terms of the 2021 NFL Draft next April, he could…
