A little shaky on.
A guy we’ve been high on, qui- I, I, I, I, I just kept waiting for him to take that next step, kinda just didn’t.
Maybe he’s a guy that- Yeah gets to the NFL and takes that bump.
I’m trying to gauge, this guy was my number one player going into the season.
That’s Peter Woods, defensive lineman from Clemson.
Getting a little worried about his, his length.
kinda noticed some of the stuff with shedding.
he’s really If he doesn’t win, that’s instant disruption.
Like, and he’s qui- Yeah he’s got light feet.
That’s why I liked him so much.
He’s got light feet, feet.
You can see his explosion.

You can really see him get into the backfield, but I see the lack of length show up a little bit more.
And if I’m gonna make that such a big deal about Bain, I better make it a big deal about Peter Woods.
is that, it, it just I see maybe sometimes he gets to the play and he can’t even get the guy ’cause he’s, lacks the length.
See, sometimes he gets la-latched on a little bit when on the blocks and he can’t get off the block or he’s not even giving that little effort to give that, to get off the block.
He doesn’t have that grit, that, that makes me a little worried, especially with bigger guys.
The traits are great still as far as light feet, athleticism, all that type of stuff.

I think I’m just, my stock is shaky on him where I have to re-gauge that I thought this guy was a locked in top 10, top 12 guy and I think more of, now he’s kind of more of a back half of the first round type guy.
I still like him ’cause you can’t teach that size and that athle-athleticism.
I still think he could be a nice, can move around the front a little bit.
No, like pass rushing nose, can play three tech a little bit, can even do some three, four DN stuff ’cause he’s done it too.
but just yeah, I’m trying to kinda recalibrate him is maybe the best way to put it because I, I, I’ve checked out a few more late season games thinking I’d see a little bit more sustainability and it’s just, just like the re-rest of that Clemson team, just a lot of meh.
