Leighton Vander Esch

Why isn’t anyone talking about this guy?  I haven’t heard of him until today.  Apparently he has the same measurables as Tremaine Edwards, and maybe more gifted

[Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers]

He has been in several of the mocks ive seen on the forum.  I agree...would love to see him in a colts uniform.  As it stands now (pre-combine), it would be a reach to grab him at the top of the 2nd, but he will go before the start of the third.  Perhaps, in a 1st round tradeback scenario where we pick up an extra 2nd round pick, CB gives him a hard look.  Fingers crossed.

He’s a stud. Will go in the 2nd round probably.

I think the difference in speed will be Newton and Luck, where it’ll be such a small margin that it’ll be like they ran the same time. But yes, Leighton can do everything Edmunds can do. He’s a prototypical MLB who I want to see in the Horseshoe if we miss out on Hitchens in FA.

Just read an article about prospects who will generate buzz at the combine and Vander-Esch is on that list. People think he’ll run in the 4.6 range at 250 pounds, which is freaky. I know we’ve got our eyes set on Hitchens in FA, but he may have to play SAM and we draft Vander-Esch to start at MLB. He’s that good.

Like him a lot has the knack for the big play as well. His intangibles remind me of Sean Lee.
