2013 East-West Shrine Game: Practice Report
2013 East-West Shrine Game: Monday's West Team Practice Report
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
The second practice of the East-West Shrine was held in St. Petersburg, Fla. under sunny skies with temperatures in the low 80s. The West team is being coached by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coach Leeman Bennett. Unlike the East squad led by Jerry Glanville, Bennett had the players in a non-contact practice as they played in shorts, jerseys and helmets. There were also portions of practice dedicated to loosening up, so overall it was not a very good practice for evaluation purposes.
Despite that, a few players stood out with their athletic skill sets. Arizona quarterback Matt Scott showed off a nice arm and good mobility. He was clearly the best quarterback on the West squad. Scott could help himself to be a mid-round pick with a strong week.
Another of the top performers on the West squad was Mount Union wide receiver Jasper Collins. The speedy wideout was challenging receivers with his quickness and route-running. He burned a bunch of cornerbacks downfield and was consistently getting separation. Collins torched UCLA cornerback Aaron Hester and Nevada's Khalid Wooten on go routes. The tall corner Hester struggled to turn and run with Collins.
Collins (5-11, 190) is in the mold of other Mount Union prospects Pierre Garcon and Cecil Shorts. A lot of scouts were impressed by Collins on Monday.
In the team scrimmage session, the defensive linemen took advantage of not having pads on to beat offensive linemen with their speed. San Jose State defensive end/outside linebacker Travis Johnson torched Calary offensive tackle Kirby Fabien for two sacks.
USC defensive end Wes Horton was impressive in the one-on-ones. He burned Wester Michigan tackle Dann O'Neill on consecutive reps with a spin move and an outside speed rush. Horton (6-5, 255) has athleticism and speed, but had underwhelming production at USC. He needs a strong week to help make up for a disappointing senior year. Monday was a good start.
Pitt guard/tackle Ryan Turnley had some good blocks in the one-on-ones. Iowa center James Ferentz struggled with speed rushers, as he did during the 2012 season. Utah guard Sam Brenner did well blocking Vanderbilt tackle Rob Lohr. He stuffed Lohr and rode him around the pocket.
Michigan defensive tackle William Campbell won his reps against UCLA's Jeff Baca. Campbell (6-5, 310) had a good day and flashed more speed and explosiveness than one would think.
In the team scrimmage session, a few players had impressive plays. Arizona wideout Dan Buckner made a fantastic over-the-shoulder catch on a deep pass along the sideline. Arkansas-Pine Bluff defensive end Brandon Thurmond probably would have notched a few sacks if there was live hitting. He was showing some nice pass rush ability.
Nevada tight end Zach Sudfeld did well working the middle seam. Sudfeld (6-7, 255) has great length. Middle Tennessee State wide receiver Anthony Amos also was impressive, making a great leaping catch over defenders.
Some other prospects worth mentioning who were solid on Monday include Virginia linebacker Steve Greer and Ohio State linebacker Nathan Williams. Oklahoma cornerback Demontre Hurst had good coverage.
The West team will practice in pads on Tuesday and Wednesday, so those sessions should be fruitful for draft evaluations.

Taylor was the most impressive player in the game. I like Sio Moore a lot so I was not surprised he played well. The QB play was substandard, so the WR and TE suffered which was a bit disappointing.

The Jag's must have the dumbest scouting department in the league. Another Fing kicker is on the radar?

Ted Thompson is there and the Packers don't talk to anybody. Guess they're playing it to the vest

Jamie Collins out of Southern Miss is an absolute beast! Same build and playing style as Von Miller and Jarvis Jones. Huge upside and very athletic!

You did about as good as I did, and I was able to update mine the day bfroee. You offered a lot of insite that helped me get a few of those picks right. Also, if it weren't for you, I would have not welcomed the drafting of Andre Smith. Speaking of Andre Smith, I think it's important that the Bengals and Smith's agent work hard to get a contract done early. That would go a long way toward proving that Smith was not a gamble.

they were seeing if they could get the first round and ecsond round done in one evening. they want to make the draft a three day event. so this year was a test run to see if they could get it done. and yes they can. next years draft will more then likely take 3 days instead of just 2
