Just two so far:

Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse
Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State

Link - ( New Window )
Benjamin is an interesting one.

Not surprising, they definitely need some competition at the backup spot.
We also need a rb that can control clock in 4th q

And move the chains. Saquon is not that. But u loosen up d a little late in game plus split saquon a little more possibly. Pseudo James white roll at times too. I want to get him in space more

Meeting with players, especially at all star games, means nothing in terms of who they are drafting or who they are interested in
I really like Robinson as a prospect

was statistically the best pass rusher in the ACC in 2018, ahead of Clelin Ferrel and Brian Burns in terms of pass rush win rate. Perfect build for a 3-4 EDGE, explosive and good bend.

I believe at one point he was committed to Texas A&M but lost his offer due to an incident where he was facing prison time after stealing his girlfriends cellphone- charges were dropped due to an uncooperative witness.

Meeting with a guy like him could simply be doing some early homework/due diligence on his character

To add to this they meet with every single player. At the East West shrine game I've seen multiple Giants scouts meet separately with the same player just minutes apart. Wouldn't look too much into it. At some point they'll meet with just about every player that plays in the East West Shrine, Senior Bowl & combine.

Yes perhaps that guy is Lamical Perine. Straight to the hole. Decisive powerful. Described as an "anti SB" Uses his blockers well.

Sy you certainly know more about this arena than I do - but I was listening to NFL Sirius radio last night and they were talking about how NFL teams like the Sr. bowl interviews more than the interviews at the combine. Their reasoning was that by the time the players get to the combine, their agents have rehearsed interview questions so many times that the NFL guys don't really get a good idea on what the kid is about. Sounds kinda reasonable.

They also went onto say that Mike Mayock had conducted 75 interviews with Sr. bowl participants.

Of course, these guys were broadcasting from the Sr. bowl and were spouting off some ridiculous stuff - for example - Rick Neuheisel was all fired up saying that Joe Burrow should have participated - which is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

I think most of us know that by now, but the offseason gets a bit slow, so while it may mean absolutely nothing, I still like to hear the news.

Yeah. I'm calling bullshit that any back is called an "Anti-SB" unless he's just a terrible RB not suitable to take the field.
SB will be fine

As he continues to grow and gain more experience, and get a solid OL in front that blocks plays up consistently, the game will slow down in front of him and he'll let it flow. He is frequently trying to do too much, that's all it is. Flow like water.

Talented player,probably about as talented as they come this year.But there is more to the story,I kinda gave up on him this year.

I'm with you. What a stupid take.

What the write said. I think SB does everything better. Just needs a spell sometimes.
