Let's look into the film. In this video, we're looking at Eric Scott Jr. He's six foot, close to six foot one and a half, right at 200 pounds
0:08
And one of the things when you're looking at and evaluating DBs, you want to know whether or not they are a zone cover corner, press cover corner
0:18
Are they more suitable to field side play? Can they play the boundary technique pretty well? Can they redirect
0:25
Do they have great recovery speed? Can they go up against big body receivers
0:30
Can they redirect and still keep their feet up under them? Do they play in phase or can they track the ball pretty well
0:38
So those are things that you look for. Are they ball hawkers, right
0:42
Can they find the ball and track it and pull it out of the sky? Here's the thing, though
0:46
When you're talking about evaluating DBs who drafted later in the later rounds, right
0:52
You want to see whether or not they can hit certain measurables as it relates to foot speed
0:59
Do they have a good vertical? Can they get upfield? Things like that
1:03
And when I look at Eric I see a guy that on tape you can see that he got the speed He plays great deed of boundary technique He got good vision He had five INTs in his collegiate career two tackles for loss
1:18
so he can get into the backfield. On top of that, if you need a DB that can pretty much handle a receiver
1:26
on a vertical route, he can do that. Underneath routes, you see him
1:29
He's able to get the ball and take it and pull it out of the sky. He had two pick six last season
1:35
So I look at all of those things. He can nose the ball, high point the ball
1:40
He can bring all of that to the table. He's a willing tackler. So I look at those small things that a DB can do to help their game out in general
1:49
So now the Cowboys, they tend to draft high ceiling guys, meaning that if the coaching staff like what they can do
1:57
and with a little coaching that they can elevate said player to the status quo
2:02
that they drafted them for. so never look at these guys as an isolated situation look at these guys as it relates to
2:10
who's on their staff what type of traits they bring to the table and can they track the ball
2:16
see ball and capture ball and yeah this is against south alabama he able to catch that i don know if that Jalen Tober Y let me know But neither here nor there the Dallas Cowboys they are known for finding gems in the latter rounds
2:33
And they traded up to go get them. When you trade up to go get someone
2:37
meaning that they see something that most of the scouts and others don't see
2:42
And nine times out of ten, the diamond in the rough may just be this guy. Like I said on his tape and on his ysis, when you look back at everything
2:50
you can clearly see. You can play him at multiple spots. You can play him at the free
2:55
You can play him at bump and run. And he come down the field
2:59
While you come down the field, putting your nose down inside, those are things that you look for
3:03
Now he's using the boundary as his friend. And look, butt towards the sideline, using the boundary as his friend
3:08
squeezing the opposition back inside and make the tackle here. This is him against Zay Flowers once again
3:14
Inside. Hey, boom. Get that ball up out of there, you know
3:18
So in a situation, redirect the strength. I see that out of Eric Scott
3:24
Now what we got to do is erase most of these things and see what he going to look like in a Cowboys uniform right Seeing how the coaching staff is going to elevate his game even more and put him in a situation where now he under pro he under pro coaching pro staffing and all of that stuff
3:45
could work for him and i like seeing it come down to field tackle for loss right there so i like
3:51
seeing this out of him yeah will there be some growing pains yeah there will flat out be some
3:56
growing pains. Nevertheless, there will also be some opportunities that he can showcase and shine
4:04
Keep this in mind. Deron Bland last year, no one, no one saw Deron Bland catching five INTs as a
4:12
rookie and doing all of the things that he was asked to do, playing inside the slot in on the
4:17
outside. So we get a versatile DB out of Eric, and I can't wait to see his game in the National
4:24
the football league with the silver and blue with the star on the side of his helmet that's been my
4:30
time i really thank you all for yours and remember you're listening to nothing but the best go cowboys outstanding
