One of the first rules NFL scouts learn is that you shouldn’t base an entire evaluation off of one play, good or bad. But it’s tough to not be impressed by the destruction LSU Tigers guard and New Orleans Saints rookie free agent Adrian Magee accomplished last year against Vanderbilt.
Magee quickly dispatched his first opponent on a passing play early in the second quarter, and assumed that future Heisman Trophy winner and first-overall draft pick Joe Burrow had already thrown the ball to his target. But to Magee’s surprise, Burrow was still alert in the pocket, eyes downfield. So Magee got back to work.
Another Commodores defender was blocked into Magee’s path, so he did the sensible thing and leveled the newcomer into the turf, achieving a pair of “pancake” blocks twice within a few heartbeats. That’s a rare feat for a blocker at any level, and he’ll be hoping to bring that same nasty streak with him to New Orleans.
