Minnesota Showcase – Fries at the bottom of the bag

I try not to eat fast food too much, but when I do, few things are better than finding those extra fries that have fallen out of the container into the bottom of the takeout bag. You have eaten the main meal, and it seems like you are done, but no – there are always a handful of fries loose on the bottom of the bag. Those bonus nuggets of flavor seem to top off a solid, fast food burger and fries combo. Going over my notes from the Minnesota Showcase, I have a lot of observations about some of the kids that didn’t make it into the main meal of my MVP stories, but that doesn’t mean they won’t make tasty nuggets of information coming off the Showcase. For my final Minnesota Showcase story, I am clearing out my notebook, here are some random observations I made wondering around the combine a few weeks ago – my Prep Red Zone Showcase fries at the bottom of the bag. <strong>Joey Zach</strong> <strong>Eden Prairie OL</strong> He had good low hips in drills. Then he had a solid rep on a pass block drill. <strong>Riley Peters</strong> <strong>Pequot Lakes OL</strong> He showed low hips in drills.
