Tommy Video
Video of Tommy put together by his agent that he sent to each team. I saw the text response from the Raiders Special Teams coach: " he will be gone by the 5th round". At least 5 teams sending a representative to the Bobcat Pro day to scout him.

Maybe when talking about Tommy it's Really Tough Dude.
RT made me think Return Team, when I wasn't joking around.

Re: Tommy Video
I found that interesting too. Though, his strength is certainly a a runner, so I guess focusing on his speed and shiftiness is a good thing.tetoncat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 14, 2025 8:04 amMust be for returns?

Is it possible he could be a Christian McCaffrey type running back?

Re: Tommy Video
I could see him as a Julian Edelman type-undersized (allegedly) college quarterback that became an above average NFL receiver.

Re: Tommy Video
He’s not a QB at the next level, so probably not much point in showing it.tetoncat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 14, 2025 8:04 amMust be for returns?

Interesting scouting report on Tommy for QB at the NFL level.
I am much more ignorant than some on this board, but the basics here mostly pass the "smell test" even if I think the writer perhaps underestimates Tommy's athleticism.

Re: Tommy Video
My thoughts too. Not that he couldn't be used as qb under special circumstances, but in that video he's not selling himself that way. I'm hoping scouts are paying attention to his other strengths that could translate to a running back, kick returner, etc.tetoncat wrote: ↑Mon Mar 24, 2025 7:36 amAnd the fact he is likely not being taken as a qbTravelingcat wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 11:03 pmhttps://steelersdepot.com/2025/03/2025- ... y-mellott/

Re: Tommy Video
I am a little surprised that they do not seem to be selling him at all as a QB. He's not an NFL QB1 to be sure but he does have skills in that area (31 TDs, 2INT last year and nice touch on his deep throws. I could see him having a shot as a developmental QB.
By taking QB seemingly off the table, I think he's also resigning himself to being a UDFA. If he can run in the 4.3s or low 4.4s and put up other good testing numbers, I think he'll have an excellent shot to be on a practice squad next year-- or maybe even an active roster But I think he might have had his highest draft value as a QB3 type with the athleticism to move elsewhere if a team didn't like what they saw with him under center.

Re: Tommy Video
Tommy is poised to be a special teams ace, ala Colt Anderson. But with a bigger upside than Colt did due to the offensive weapons Mellott has.

Re: Tommy Video
Tommy's path to getting drafted will lead through Pro Day and putting up good enough numbers there that at least one team isn't willing to let him get to the UDFA pool. I don't see the position really making too much of a difference there, as nobody will draft him with the primary intention of making him a QB.Travelingcat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 25, 2025 1:26 pmI am a little surprised that they do not seem to be selling him at all as a QB.

Re: Tommy Video
I'm still sticking with my prediction he'll end up working his way into either a starting WR or RB role some day, I'd lean towards a Christian McCaffrey type player.
Great time to be a BOBCAT!
