Different Song, Same Key: Jalen Hurts, Lincoln Riley, and the 2019 Oklahoma Offense
Just like the National Football League, there is no offseason for the writers at Inside the Pylon. A few of our film gurus have been poring through game film on some of the well-known, and not-so-well-known, prospects to help you prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Our writers bring you inside each player, using video footage to illustrate what each prospect does well – and what they need to improve – to continue their football careers at the next level. Unlike other sites, with 250-player “Big Boards” or top ten lists for each position, ITP’s writers dive deep on the prospects they cover – at the positions they know and understand. While we might not cover every prospect – yet – we go into great detail on the guys we examine. If you think you can help, get in touch and join the team!
