Title: Alex Leatherwood Post by: 2Stater on November 25, 2019, 06:12:25 PM Alex Leatherwood went to Washington HS here in Pensacola. I played golf today and ran into his HS offensive line coach. He said that Leatherwood is projected to be one of the first 15 picked in the NFL draft, but is seriously considering coming back for his senior season because he wants very much to be an All-American.
That would be sweet. Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: ricky023 on November 25, 2019, 07:44:55 PM :pray: :pray: please do. RTR!

Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on November 26, 2019, 07:43:40 AM The last time Pro Football Focus (who does a lot of player position grading) did their mock draft (Nov 6), they had Leatherwood going 11th. They said he'd only given up 5 pressures in 268 pass-blocking plays.
Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: N.AL-Tider on November 26, 2019, 08:07:11 AM I can't see walking away from an 11 draft pick position to try and become an All-American in college... But what do I know?

But what do I know? That's what I said to the coach, but he said it's been a life-long dream of Leatherwood's to become an All-American.

But what do I know? Just can’t see him staying. Last years 11th pick in the draft was Jonah Williams of Crimson Tide. He signed a 4 year deal for $4.4 mil a year and a $11 mil signing bonus. Alex would be crazy to pass this up and then get hurt at Bama. :dog: Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: pmull on November 26, 2019, 04:33:26 PM The mock drafts show us losing a lot of talent. Tua, Jeudy, Ruggs, Leatherwood and Willis on the offensive side of the ball. Defensive players include D Moses, Diggs, McKinney and Davis. That is 9 players projected in the first two rounds.

I would have thought Devonta Smith would be a 2nd rounder. I think Jennings is at the 3rd or 4th round level. ??? Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: ricky023 on November 26, 2019, 05:52:10 PM Here is the problem. We teach these young guys how to be great and they run off to the nfl. RTR!
Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: Merk on November 26, 2019, 07:55:16 PM Based on that position in the draft, I can’t see him staying.
Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 27, 2019, 01:31:25 PM I saw a recent mock draft that had Leatherwood as the 30th pick in draft. Last years 30th pick got a measly $2.6 mil a year for 4 years with a miserly $5.6 mil signing bonus. Poor kid, I feel his pain.

Lots of experience there...
Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: McBaman on January 02, 2020, 03:39:23 PM This is great news from Leatherwood. I hope he avoids the injury bug next season.
Title: Re: Alex Leatherwood Post by: 2Stater on January 02, 2020, 03:58:21 PM I guess his old coach knew what he was talking about. #+
