Shanahan uses quick feet and leverage to be succe sful in his run blocking. Knowing he is not the biggest guy he drops his pad level and can slide his feet to engage with pa s rushers. He can reach the second level on run plays where he shows his competitive streak and will look to finish defenders. His best traits are the nuance of his hip and body positioning. He understands where to wall off linemen to create gaps. Shanahan is an Ivy League graduate from Harvard and his acumen shows on the field. Certainly a smaller center that needs to add ma s if he wants to play in the NFL. SEC teams often placed a true nose in front of him which gave him fits, His base needs better stability as he can be driven into the quarterbacks lap by blitzing linebackers. Want to see more strike out of his hands and increased play strength. While it is rare, he occasionally allows edge defenders or delayed blitzers to penetrate the A gap, on games or dog blitzes respectively. Scroll to ContinueShanahan is a solid center that with added ma s and strength could add depth to an NFL offensive line, He has command over the line with signal calls and blitz pickup responsibility coming at ease. He is not a superior athlete but he works to the second level well and is able to displace would-be tacklers. NFL development should Mark Glowinski Jersey help Shanahan grow into his body and become a solid prospect. Raised in the Boston, Ma sachusetts area. Not a ranked recruit according to 247Sports. Earned his degree in Economics. Did not play in 2016. Played in 10 games as a freshman. Played in 10 games as a sophomore. Played in 10 games as a junior. Transferred from Harvard to LSU as a graduate. Played in 10 games as a senior. Hula Bowl: Its hard to go unnoticed at LSU, but Shanahan has remained in relative anonymity as a starter the past two seasons in Baton Rouge. Previously, the Ma sachusetts mauler was last seen dominating the Ivy League during his time at Harvard. At 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, Shanahan tips the scales at a solid size for the center position. His combination of work ethic, intelligence (earned an MBA in busine s during his time at LSU) and leadership might be unparalleled in this years draft cla s. In addition, he po se ses the versatility RJ McIntosh Jersey to play all three interior offensive line positions. Shanahan projects as a borderline Day 3/priority free-agent prospect.Late Day Three (Round 6-7) Transitioning from Harvard to LSU (dont hear that everyday) in 2020, Liam Shahahan went from small school offensive guard to starting center in the SEC. How Shanahan handled that transition speaks volumes to his overall talent level and work ethic. Boasting a nice frame with room to grow, Shanahan does not fit the small school moniker from a physical perspective. From a technical perspective, he does a nice job remaining patient working laterally and up to the second level. Shanahan frames well, always seeming to be on balance in the run and pa s game. His length plays huge dividends with the ability to stall momentum and lock out at the point of attack. The angles he takes blocking back and to the second level are pristine, showing the ability to cut off flow easily. Despite only being a one year player at LSU, he was given responsibilities to set protections at the line. More technician than powerful, Shanahan is still growing into his frame. Listed at 270 pounds on the Harvard roster, Shanahan has added a substantial amount of weight in a very small amount of time. His power profile is still a major work in progre s, leading to his feet stalling on contact far too often. Shanahan can get overwhelmed at the point of attack, lacking the anchor to stay attached, falling off of way too many blocks. He is a segmented mover that takes a ton of effort to work to the second level, lacking the spatial awarene s to consistently block second level defenders. This time last Michael Pittman Jr. Jersey summer, Liam Shanahan was not on anyones radar. With his year of solid play in the SEC, he now sits as a developmental center prospect who should be a hot commodity late into Day Three of after the draft. Landing in the right situation, he has some baseline traits that could be worth the time to develop.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. The interpretation of Miami (Fla.)s 2017 season will differ depending on whom you ask.The good? The Hurricanes won 10 games in Mark Richts second year at the helm. The bad? Those 10 wins came in their first 10 games, and then The U fizzled at the end Joe Musgrove Jersey to finish 10-3.Back when it was undefeated, Miami was No. 2 in the College Football Playoff committee’s rankings for Week 13. A stunning 24-14 lo s at Pittsburgh preceded a 38-3 whooping at the hands of Clemson in the ACC title game, followed by a 34-24 defeat to Wisconsin in the Orange Bowl where the Badgers were clearly the more physical team.MORE:Richt, the only current ACC head coach who leads his alma mater, has recorded nine and 10 wins in his two seasons at Miami. The national consensus among media in 2017 was that the Hurricanes were too far ahead of schedule and their rapid succe s caught up to them.Those within the program still sense positive momentum despite last year’s finish.”I definitely think teams have learned to respect us,” senior safety Jaquan Johnson said at the ACC Cal Quantrill Jersey Kickoff on Wednesday. “I read something, I’m not sure what coach said it, but it was something about how Miami, if you get them in a close game, they’re not going to finish. This was, like, two years ago.Johnson said that finishing strong was a point of emphasis all year long despite the three lo ses. He’s hopeful the team takes that sentiment more seriously this season.”We used those three games that we lost. We try to not lose them. We talk about finishing,” Johnson said. That’s one of the main things. We’ve got to start fast and finish strong. We started fast last year, but we didn’t finish strong.”We have to have an attack mindset the entire season. That’s the only way you can win it all.”ACC PREDICTIONS: An undeniable harbinger of Miamis early succe s in 2017 was the turnover chain, which turned into a part of The U’s national brand. Johnson became the movement’s poster child last season as he put up a team-high 96 tackles, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.On Wednesday, Johnson confirmed that the turnover chain is making a “definite” comeback this season.”It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s really the greatest thing since the 10-bite sandwich, actually, Richt joked. People ask me about that. First of all, I didn’t know about the turnover chain until the first game. I don’t even think I touched it until the season was over.”That thing is about six pounds. I mean, it is a thick, Cuban link chain with that big U. It is gaudy and it’s beautiful.”But Richt also acknowledged that it could have backfired on Rickey Henderson Jersey the team if it didn’t force enough turnovers, and in fact it did at the end of the season. ESPNs cameras caught Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst commenting on the chain after the Orange Bowl.Paul Chryst. Turnover chain my Fing a** Love it. On Wisconsin. Matthew Young (@Matthew_Aaron19) It did create an awful lot of excitement for our team, Richt said. It created an awful lot of excitement for our fans, not just at the games but around the country. It was a special thing.As the Hurricanes work to become more consistent, they have a tough test right off the bat vs. LSU at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 2. Johnson will lead the efforts again, returning for his senior season even though he would have been a surefire NFL Draft pick last spring. The Miami native is determined to maintain the upward trajectory of the Richt era at his hometown school.You know, you learn that when you’re committed to the Javy Guerra Jersey University of Miami, you are committing to the University of Miami. Unfortunately, this game, coaches have to get fired and things of that nature, but I’m happy that we did get Coach Richt to come in (to replace Al Golden),” Johnson said. “You believe, you buy in right away. Some guys resist, but for me, I bought in right away.I was looking forward to the change, and I trusted the proce s, and I believed in everything that Coach Richt said, and I’m sitting up here now.

It was completely understandable for all involved – the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills – to envision Saturdays second preseason outing as a sort of Von Miller Day.But it is the plan of the Bills – 42-15 winners here – for Von Miller to have other days. … while here?
