Ryan Swope

[UKColt13]

I like him.

Has great speed, and size.

Ex-running back so a thick body and tough as nails. Very reliable hands

6'0 205

Not sure when he's mocked to go

[chad72]

To me, he is the next Jordy Nelson. A pass friendly team might pull the trigger on him in the middle or late round 2.

[Dustin]

He's a real gym rat.

[BrentMc11]

I agree with Chad72 and dustin's comments!!.  He had been listed as a 3rd rounder.  Running the 4.27s and 4.34s consistently....turn heads.....and you move up...he is 6'0 and 200 as well...not a smurf.....I love gym rats...reminds me of Grigs and Pagano!!!!

Pre Combine Swope had a top of the 4th round grade

Yep...the highest I saw was 3....that is what I posted.

[Shive]

I'd love Swope, but I think he's gone in the 2nd or high 3rd with the combine he just had.

[Carl Dzienkiewicz]

SWOPE IS BIGGER BUT I THINK HE WILL PRODUCE WELKER TYPE PERFORMANCES

[Dustin]

So far he's been compared to a Jordy Nelson, Austin Collie, and Wes Welker. Anyone see a trend?

To me, he looks like Larry Bird. Does that continue the pattern?

Not really....but he reminds me of Danny Amendola

That's great.

 

Read this article, it speaks of the white player comparison conspiracy:

It's so true.

I really like this kid too...   

 

If Indy could steal I would do a cart wheel.....       in my back yard.....

That's great.

It's so true.

 

Yes, it is true, it comes natural to human beings, that is why.

 

But then, which non-white WR can we compare him to? How about Pierre Garcon, when he came out of Mount Union at 6'0", 210 lbs, with speed? But then, Swope's hands are superior, coming out of college, IMO though he is around the same frame at 6'0", 205. What, I am not sure, is Swope's run blocking. Did Johnny Manziel ever give up the ball to his RB?

Swope or Harper WR in the 4th...okay.

[Hans Moleman]

He's just like Mike Alstott, only skinnier, faster, weaker, and more explosive. They're basically twins.

[Hans Moleman]

Seriously though, it's unfortunate how lazy scouts (professional and armchair) can be for how serious they take hobby/profession. Most of them remind me of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.

 

Swope's always been fast. There's plenty of footage available for anyone who looked for it where he burns guys and doesn't get caught from behind. Dude ran a 10.7 100m in high school. 

 

TJ Moe, on the other hand...that guy's everything people project the white slot WR stereotype to be lol. But putting Swope in that category is just lazy scouting.
