<p>It's finally time to show some love to everyone's favorite side of the ball. Defensively its getting harder and harder to go toe to toe with these offensive players at these camps. Although I left St.Joseph, Mo very pleased with these defensive players. The numbers were definitely against them, but they showed grit and put on a great show. </p>

<p>Already a fan of Howard I was happy to see him in attendance in St.Joseph. To start this off the odds were already against the defensive backs at the camp with a wide margin of numbers between receivers and defensive backs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1660950' first='Braylon' last='Howard'] was up to the task taking a ton of reps and winning most of his bouts, by always being in the right position. He showed a multitude of cover techniques that showed he's a true technician of his craft. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He's going into his sophomore season and I'm going to keep a close eye on Howard. </p>

<p>This DB was hard to miss in camp. A short memory is one of the best attributes for a corner, even when he didn't get the best of a rep Young came back the next rep and got a win. </p>

<p>Storm is extremely sticky in coverage and made it very difficult for these receivers to get some separation. He features quick feet and outstanding play recognition. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McDonnell is so light on his feet it's pretty impressive to see. While covering the running backs, it was rare that he lost a rep when the back decided to go vertical. Because Joel has very fast footwork and speed he can stop the open space over the top so very well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A classic sideline to sideline defenders, he's just scratching the surface of his potential. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the immediate standouts of the day is Carter Raney. He loves to just get his hands on you and win reps with physicality. I would like to see him in a hybrid safety/slot position, I can see him doing very well in that role.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He carried the receivers at camp very well, staying right on the hip pocket and played with active hands all day long. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Football IQ this kid has is off the charts. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most instinctual off-ball linebackers in the show me state is [player_tooltip player_id='1608544' first='Kingston' last='Powell']. Not only is he very good in play recognition, but he has the necessary speed and quickness to get there and make a play on the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's not more you can ask for in a linebacker, what is the most impressive is the fact that he's only a freshman. So he has three years to just grow on his already impressive physical tools. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Long is just getting started and has made a name for himself. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's a difficult job for a defensive lineman to show up and show out at these camps with no pads. Kenneth long did his job and made me turn my head and see what's going on in these lineman 1-on-1's.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the younger participants in attendance but was up for the task. Long is still growing into his frame, but has crazy length as an edge player. He can keep offensive lineman at bay by just getting his long arms extended and setting the edge. </p>
