Consistency has been Grant's calling card at Tulane. He doesn't put up gaudy stats but week in and week out, he's reliable. As such, an NFL team likes nothing more than knowing what’s it getting, positive and/or negative, from a young next level player
He does the little things as a receiver really well. He sells his routes, running pristine paths with subtle moves to make himself available. He'll work to get open. He gets on a DB in a hurry with his burst off the ball. He lines up at nearly every receiver position on the field. He has consistent and magnificent hands. But, he's not a physical freak like Texas A&M's Mike Evans. He doesn't have quite the speed of Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas or the quicks of Oregon State's Brandin Cooks. But, don't sleep on this guy, he's got some explosiveness that could surprise many in Mobile. Quite frankly, he's fun to watch and when was the last time we said that about a player from Tulane? Matt Forte?
The hands, the route running and the ability to get open are all there for Grant. The Senior Bowl is an opportunity for him to show that he can win one-on-one against the best senior defensive backs in the country. My gut tells me that he could really surprise many in Mobile.

Ryan Grant had the best overall day of the South receivers despite a couple of drops. He consistently separated at the top of his routes and was quick to flip his head to gain yards after the catch.
According to Walterfootball.com, the Saints, Cardinals and Chargers have met with Ryan, officially.

Kleinpeter who is the LSU A&M reporter for the Times Picayune is covering the Senior Bowl practice.exclusively for the newspaper. 99.9 percent of his articles are LSU A&M shaded but he promised me and Tammy Nunez from the TP that he would dig deep and do a positive article on Tulane's Ryan Grant. Ryan had a stellar day today at Senior Bowl practice with an unbelievable catch. The Executive Director of the Senior Bowl mentioned it on the NFL Network Senior Bowl South Team Practice Show this afternoon.
Kleinpeter's take :

All reports good so far. Hope he shines on game day. He's come a long way in 5 years. I hope it pays off for him.

Game on TV now halftime 20-3 South leads. I just tuned in so I don't know Grant's stats.
The New Orleans Saintsations are cheering on the sidelines for the South. LSU players are wearing different LSU helmets. One guy has a yellow one on and the other guy has a white LSU helmet on. Atlanta Falcons coaching staff on the sidelines (Chris Scelfo)

I cannot watch the Senior Bowl. It seemed Senior Bowl NFL coverage was on the Vandy wide receiver and not Grant. Did Grant make any great plays or look good in the game. I am sure that they gave him limited playing time and the worst South QB to throw to him. I would like to hear what you all observed watching the game.
He has barely played. The WRs from Bama, Texas and BYU have seen the field on most plays. The TE from Colorado St. is having a good game for the South. Maybe Ryan will play more in the second half. I don't think there is an anti- Tulane conspiracy. I remember Forte, Losman and Ramsey playing a lot and being successful.tnelly15 wrote:He hasn't played much and I don't think he's even been targeted.

I'm not sure the game really matters anyway. The scouts get a much better look through the practices, where Grant has shined.ExileWave wrote:He has barely played.

+1 The only negative I read was that on day 2 he had trouble separating from press coverage. But in general he has helped himself a lot all week.OUG wrote:I'm not sure the game really matters anyway.

Did he play in second half? You are correct that the analysis by NFL coaches is done mid week during the practice sessions and interviews. . The NFL people go home Friday and they are send a CD of the game. Put I am not happy that the Jacksonville coach did not give him equal playing time with the other receivers on the South squad to showcase his talents.
He was on the field a lot in the second half. I did not see him targeted- the South offense didn't do anything in the half. Pretty boring game- a defensive player from Auburn was MVP.Jonathan wrote:Did he play in second half?

JJ: The Jacksonville Jags fans are not pleased with the coach either. They have trouble giving away tickets to watch them play. He is not a very good coach, coaching a very bad team. Don't know how they pick the coaches for this game, but it seems like that could have made a better pick for the south team.
Bleacherreport.com has him going in the 5th to Denver:

Not a good day at the NFL Combine.

He had been looking like a 5th rounder but these results may have pushed him down into the 7th.

Maybe I'm the only guy in town on this but I would much rather be a free agent than a low draft choice. Yes it might cost me a some in bonuses but base salaries for these guys tend to quickly drift to NFL minimums whether drafted or not.dpm wave wrote:Not a good day at the NFL Combine.

Key thing is the FA player can choose to work where he wants. Novel concept I know that someone has the freedom to pick their employer instead of being told where to go. We allow it to lawyers and fast food clerks and non-athletes. Too bad we don't extend the same right to pro players. (Yes I was a Curt Flood supporter down the line.)
I thought that's where he would be. But the kid can play football. He's a possession type receiver with great hands and great route running ability (Lance Moore like). You can't really measure those things with that combine matrix. But I do believe he'll end up being a free agent somewhere on a practice squad.dpm wave wrote:Not a good day at the NFL Combine.

luv the Grant kid, but FA is in his future, and that may not be a bad thing
