Kerry Collins, QB, Penn State

Jordan: As far as throwing the deep ball is concerned, he was the best in football. Nobody threw it better, NOBODY. He put it on a tight rope with a tight spiral with incredible accuracy. He was always just a big guy with a big arm. When he was "on" mentally, he took full advantage of everyone he had. The problem with him was always inconsistency. He made some bad throws into coverage out of desperation, and he was only good under pressure when he was in the correct mental state. However, now he's just old and washed up. He seems to have reverted back to his horrible mechanics that plagued him early in his career, and at this point, I don't see why any team would want him, aside from the odd beautiful deep ball that will remind you of what he used to be.

Lamont Jordan, RB, Maryland

Jordan: Short, squatty, explosive runner who probably should’ve been starting a long time ago. Has good power but is more of a speed and burst style of runner despite his built. Finds the crease and explodes through it; an excellent cutback runner. At this point, you’d think he should be the starter, but Curtis Martin is still a good runner and it’s just tough for them to make the call to remove a back who is still pretty damn good. But that would be the wise thing—they should’ve looked into trading Martin to Dallas (I don’t know if the Cowboys had the cap room) because he would work wonders for Parcells’ anemic rushing attack. Lamont should be the future for the Jets, and that ought to be the present.

Randy Moss, WR, Marshall, 6’4” 205 LBS, 40 time: 4.23

Jordan: People think he's the most physically talented player in the NFL, but I beg to differ. He's certainly way up there, but Terrell Owens has him beat on sheer athletic components--speed, agility, and leaping ability. Moss has exceptionally long arms and amazing timing, so he's superior on the jump balls, but people mistakenly think that that means he jumps higher. And while he's one of the fastest players in the game, he doesn't have that surreal "I'm going to run faster than humanely possible because the whole world rests on my shoulders if I don't get from here-to-there faster than the speed of light" gear that Owens possesses. Still, the thing he HAS on Owens is grace. While Owens, when the light clicks on, plays like a hyperactive maniac who is going to die the next day, Randy glides down the field effortlessly and plays a cerebral style of football. When he turns on top speed, no corners have a chance. Once the ball is in the air, it's his 8 out of 10 times. He understands how to lull corners to sleep and then blaze past them with routine. That’s why the guy is already closing in on making the most deep reception (we'll go with 30+ yards here) touchdowns in NFL history for a career. Hell, he might already have that record—in fact, he probably does. His hands and ball skills can be as good as anyone’s…and quicker. He can snatch the football like a frog snatches a fly in the pond. His hand-eye coordination, timing, and overall ball skills are unfathomable. He rarely has lapses in concentration. He has surprising moves after the catch, and once he's in the open field, it's over. But he doesn't scare you with the ball in his hands nearly as much as Owens. He doesn't have those kinds of moves or that "I didn't think that was possible in this universe" burst. He’s also not a technician; he’s not going to run a route and sell it and get someone going one way and then separate. That’s not his game, although he has gotten better at some of those technical aspects since coming into the league. But he’s just a natural, probably the most natural receiver in football…not the most physically gifted, but the most natural for the position. If God could create a deep threat, he'd create Randy Moss.

Jerry Porter, WR, West Virginia, 40 yard dash: 4.29

Jordan: Phenomenal talent. Size, speed, athleticism, hands, and downfield big-play ability. He’s a superb ball-in-air athlete, he has a big-play mentality, and he’s been held back by Jerry Rice and Tim Brown for the past couple of seasons, and it’s just sick. Just as he did with Terrell Owens, Jerry Rice’s whiny bitch attitude has kept him from emerging as one of the game’s truly elite receivers. And Mr. “Class” Tim Brown has joined him in the REFUSAL TO LET GO category. Both of them are a disgrace to the game with their selfishness, but I digress. Porter is finally getting his chance, and he will soon be a name that even casual fans know. He’s a 75-1350-10 sort of guy.

Barry Sims, OT

Jordan: A couple of years ago I thought he was the best offensive tackle in football. My how times have changed. He went from being a flawless technician to someone who just flat-out lacks strength and athletic ability. He is playing stiff, he can be beaten around the edge, and he has never been a dominating run blocker. He’s definitely not the long-term answer out there for them.

Ron Stone, OG, Boston College, 6’5” 325 LBS, 40 time: 5.24

Jordan: Doesn’t get much movement in the run game but knows how to lock on and engulf. Basically a younger Ray Brown. Uses his long arms and strong hands to position and turn defensive tackles. Very tough to get free of someone this big, powerful, and strong. Athletically, he doesn’t move very well but he seems to have a good understanding of most of his assignments which allows him to effectively execute his blocks.

Robert Gallery, OT, Iowa

Jordan: Tremendous athlete who has such ease and slide in movement it’s difficult not imagining him a shutdown LT in the near future. He has great feet, agility, balance, long arms, and he naturally bends his knees and slides. He can set soft and punch, or he can jump the rusher and own him. He’s very aware and does not panic when faced with a blitz from the blindside or a stunt. He maintains his assignment and plays consistently well throughout the entire game. He’s pretty close to “can’t miss” the way I see it.
Warren Sapp, DT, Miami, 6’2” 307 LBS, 40 time: 5.25

Jordan: He's still capable of doing some of the things he used to, but he's really just a shell of his former self, if that. He's not and never has been much of a run defender, and if he's not able to provide you with double-digit sacks, he's pretty much not a starting-caliber lineman in this league. Even if he were still capable of doing that, I don't think he should be starting. He turned out to be a poor fit at defensive end in the 3-4, and he seems like nothing more than a rotational guy in the 4-3 at this point.

Mark Word, DE, Jacksonville State, 6'5" 305 LBS

Jordan: Disruptive because of his size. A big guy who makes good use of his big frame and long arms. Works his way in a straight line up-field as he knows he’s not going to beat too many offensive tackles off the edge with speed.
NOT RATED
Charles Woodson, CB, Michigan, 40 yard dash: 4.36

Jordan: So overrated it’s ridiculous. Has great measurables and is physical and a big hitter, but that’s about it. He simply doesn’t know how to cover. He just stands around downfield, waits for the receiver to run by him, and then grabs him. When he’s not doing that, he’s turning and grabbing. He molests receivers and generally GETS CAUGHT. It would be one thing if he could constantly get away with it, but he doesn’t—he gets flagged for more pass interference penalties than anyone. And Terrell Owens has made him his personal burn victim in both of their meetings. Owens is phenomenal but if Woodson were such a great corner he would have at least CONTAINED Owens…but he couldn’t, he was grabbing and dragging and trying to keep up (although speed isn’t his problem (4.36), that’s just Owens’ unmatched 4.19 speed killing him) and not being able to do anything about a team that was determined to make him their personal bitch. He couldn’t even cover Tyrone Calico as a rookie.

Renaldo Hill 40 time: 4.40

Jordan: Good size and terrific straight-line speed. Doesn’t have the most fluid hips in changing direction but when he is in position he plays the ball extremely well. Closes on the ball well and has the blazing finishing speed to take it the distance once in the open field. Already a solid starter who should just get better.

Reggie Tongue

Jordan: Will make some plays on the ball. Not really a coverage safety but those types of guys are rare in the NFL today. He is a pretty good ball hawk, but there are many better. The thing that has helped him to hold down a starting job is the fact that he’s one of those safeties who can also play the run. He can make the big hit and is a pretty solid wrap-up tackler. He can come up into the box and fill. He just doesn’t have a whole lot of range, so they looked to the draft with guys like Hamlin and they signed Randall Godfrey to give them more of a presence in the middle of the field.

Sebastian Janikowski, K, Florida State

Jordan: A jackass, but arguably the most talented kicker in NFL history. Sensational leg, a soccer-style kicker and former soccer player who can just crush the ball. While he had the propensity for missing a ton of easy FGs early in his career, he has really settled down to become one of the game’s most reliable kickers. He should be deported, the guy is a scumbag asswipe jackass dolt cunt, but right now, he’s just an elite jackass kicker.
