2019 East West Shrine Game Thread

OnTheClock · 2019-01-11T17:50:58-08:00

I think we've been so caught up with Senior Bowl talk, the Shrine game has totally slipped under the radar. This game actually happens a week before the Senior Bowl and will feature plenty of prospects the Niners would be smart to look into. One of those is Fresno State receiver KeeSean Johnson, who I've heard buzz could go as high as the second round. Wouldn't be surprised by that -- he looks like a clone of Davante Adams. Productive, big bodied, physical possession receiver who attacks the ball in the air with strong hands to secure the catch. Like what I've seen so far. Back on point. Practices start next week, so you'll want to check on those updates. Game date/time: Saturday, January 19 at 3pm ET (NFL Network) https://www.shrinegame.com

I wonder who will be the annual guys who step up to the Senior Bowl when others pull out.

Haven't seen any official word, but Boston College DE Wyatt Ray is no longer listed on the Shrine Game's roster pages.

Easton Stick->

These are the plays that make you excited about Easton Stick's future.

-On 3rd and 8 his Initial Read is covered.
-Looks to the flat for the checkdown but it's covered.
-Rolls to his left keeping eyes up in the process.
-Drops a perfect touch pass on the run across his body. pic.twitter.com/k6hY3HOpy9

Brett Rypien->

3rd & 12 shot here from Brett Rypien. Closing interior pocket, no MOF coverage. Great placement.

Rypien will be at Shrine practices in a few weeks. pic.twitter.com/zgR3CPS36G

Ty Johnson->

This play looks familiar.

With a 65-yard touchdown, Ty Johnson becomes the fourth Maryland player all-time to record 4,000 career all-purpose yards pic.twitter.com/daX6TvLVmM

Cody Thompson->

Cody Thompson WR out of #toledo is another under the radar guy who intrigued me. Thompson shows great body control,Hands, and the ability to win the 50-50 balls.Thompson also excelled on special teams for the rockets. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/Y7Cvd6jKZk
