'20 AL ATH Damarcus "Dee" Beckwith (Tennessee signee)

[VolGee4]

He’s in the NFL on a practice squad. That’s great. But it’s not because he is an exceptionally fast safety.

You said he and Abernathy (who isn’t in the NFL) might’ve been the fastest safety combo in the SEC. Warrior does not have elite speed. Period.

To be fair, there aren't many exceptionally fast safeties, even in the NFL. If you look at the best safeties in roughly the last 10 years, only Polamalu and Reggie Nelson ran sub 4.4 40's.

Earl Thomas, Devin McCourty, and Eric Berry were about 4.4. Minkah Fitzpatrick and Derwin James were 4.46/4.47. Then, you have guys like Eric Weddle, Harrison Smith, Tyran Mathieu, Jamal Adams, Kevin Byard, Malcolm Jenkins, and Justin Simmons who were all 4.5 or above (some even close or above 4.6). Ed Reed is considered a top 10 all time safety, and he ran a 4.57. As a strong safety, Kam Chancellor ran a 4.69, but he was a little different player.

I'm not saying Warrior is fast, but it's a position that requires more read, react, and angles than straight line speed.

Does anyone know if the 2020 season counts as a redshirt for those who haven't used theirs already? If it doesn't, there will be a bunch of 6 year guys that aren't NFL caliber down the road, if they want to hang around that long.

It doesn't count as a redshirt for anyone. It's like it never happened.

Yes there will be, though they have yet to make exceptions for 2022 and on for the 85 limit. Something will have to give in some direction eventually.

It’s a free year, eligibility time clock wise. Redshirting is meaningless. If you miss the season for medical reasons tho, one might want it documented for future waiver purposes.

Right, everybody seeing the field this year barring any significant injury.

 

[MemphisVol3]

A) Both Ruggs and Waddle ran him down.
B) Both ran him down from a pretty good distance.
C) Both ran him down QUICKLY.

Warrior is not fast by SEC standards.

Just to reiterate To’oto’o looked faster than Warrior on that pick-6 tonight lol

I've been wondering the same. No word around town about his status. It's possible PulaskiVol knows some info.

According to the 247 injury report, it sounds like his ankle will keep him out for a while.

 

[Dudleys87]

This is the type of playmaker you need again Borgia.

Evidently "Borgia" is the name of a Military family over seas.

This guy in the Wildcat/Ton of Fun package...

I dont care where they decide to line him up just get the ball close and he will catch it. I think he will be that good while at Tennessee.
He will be a nightmare for LB and smaller corners.

I believe they were the family of a Pope, back in the 1500s. Although, they did do a lot military stuff, if the series I watched on Starz (maybe Showtime) was factual. Good series, I recommend it. Btw, it was called "The Borgias"

Can someone explain to me why he went from a TE/WR to a running back?..has he been cordarrelle patterson in practice or something?

Because he can play, Running Back.

And, they liked what they saw in Princeton Fant.

I’ve been out of the loop..just wasn’t sure why.I just knew he was projected to be a WR/TE coming here and now he’s playing running back/wildcat

Don’t know, but it’s evident that Pruitt wants the ball in his hands!! Pruitt got this

Not going to argue that..just wasn’t sure what they had seen in him at RB.

I'm not the cause.
Just predicted his effect.
