Every year, we witness a small-school prospect light up an annual all-star event by putting forth a performance that forces NFL talent evaluators to revisit their collegiate tape while handing them an improved draft grade. Lenoir-Rhyne'sThe talented receiver was a big winner at East-West Shrine Bowl's weigh-in process, clocking in at 6-foot-2 and a rocked-up 223 pounds with a wingspan shockingly north of 79 inches.
From a talent perspective, I felt like I was on the same level as the D-I guys. That’s just my honest evaluation. I knew I was going to have a successful week because I know what I’m capable of. I know how much hard work went into the process. I put everybody on notice. It was a good week for me. I built a lot of relationships with the coaches and scouts in attendance. It was a successful week for me.
JM: We can’t wait for your Pro Day. You briefly touched on this but I want to go a bit more in-depth. The Shrine Bowl gave you an opportunity to compete against defensive backs from some of the biggest Division I programs in the nation. What do you think that did for your draft stock? JM: You’ve proven that every step of the way. Do you feel like Dugger helped put Lenoir-Rhyne on the map? Have you noticed an uptick in the attention you’ve received since Dugger exploded onto the scene?
DY: I love running a post route. I ran quite a few posts during one-v-one drills at the East-West Shrine Bowl and I won those routes and reps. I would definitely single out the post route. I’m built for that.
