Q: You watched Savell Smalls all week In Orlando, what are your thoughts... Floor/Ceiling, how long before he really reaches his potential and what is that potential? Did he impress you or do you think he slips in the rankings?
Biggins: So keeping it real, he struggled during the week. Some of our national guys seeing him for the first time said he was one of the guys who didn't really look like he belonged. During one on one play, he struggled with the size of a lot of the tackles he went up against and wasn't physically able to match up with the size and power he saw. He was moved around from OLB, DE and even DT and played all three positions in the game. He actually made more plays in the game then he showed during the week using his quickness to win one on one matchups when he played over the center. I still like him as a 3-4 OLB and think he still has a chance to be very good in college. I have to think the week going against elite-level talent was a bit humbling and should drive him moving forward. I've said it so many times but there are just different animals in the South and as a west coast homer, it pains me to say that but the size and athleticism you see in the trenches from outside the region is the biggest reason why our teams out here struggle against those teams.
Doog: Because he's not committed to a school named Alabama, The Ohio State University, Clemson, etc.
Biggins: This is a terrible take, and one I see often though. I could care less where a player is going to college, reality is, he was not good during the week and I'm not going to highlight a player who didn't perform. He struggled every day in practice, he flashed a bit during the game but we really need to get over this whole, 'no one is talking up our guys because they don't go to the right college.'
