Junior Colson Scouting Report

Strengths

Junior Colson has fought through adversity in life, and he is willing to fight through the pain to play in games. He has the size and strength to play inside linebacker in the NFL, and his athleticism impresses as well. Whether it’s running sideline to sideline or taking on blocks inside, Colson makes plays. He’s a downhill linebacker who also has the awareness and quickness to thrive in the current NFL.

Weaknesses

Colson has tight hips and doesn’t change direction as fast as we would like. His run fits are also not great. When combined with his struggles getting off of blocks, his game has been more underwhelming in the run game than it should be. When compared to some of the other defensive freaks around him, his athleticism is also a bit less impressive which is likely we he didn’t test at the NFL Combine.

I am a simple Wisconsin man: I love beer and sports. I decided to create FlurrySports because I was sick of the politics and non-stories that the fat cat corporations put out. When you see football articles from me, just know that I combine my knowledge from playing, coaching, athletic training, and sports management/economic courses to give you a unique, but I feel well-rounded point of view. I am always down to talk about anything, so follow me on Twitter @FantasyFlurry if you decide you want more of me!
