Marcus Mbow “will probably move everywhere”
In his conference call with journalists after being drafted with the 154th The overall choice, the offensive line player Marcus Mbow said that he had trained in the five positions along the offensive line. The 22 -year -old met the giant media for the first time in person on Saturday and reiterated that he was ready to play wherever his team may need him.
“I don’t know a hundred percent,” said Mbow when he asked what position he was going to play this season. “I’m probably going to move everywhere, it’s the second day. You are looking to see where it’s okay.”
Mbow played the right -wing goalkeeper during his first two seasons in Purdue before being launched outside for the right tackle last season. The 6 -foot 4 -inch and 303 pound line player has performed the two positions at university well, and is convinced that he will be able to do the same at the next level, no matter where he aligns.
“Anyway, I like to know each position on the line, as every role is, no matter what’s going on,” said the line player. “Being able to play all the positions would be better for me in the tackle or guard or in the center. Just be able to know everything, know what everyone is doing, I will be good. I would not say it’s too stressful.”
Mbow added: “I feel like I can succeed in five positions to be honest.”
Thomas Fidone II would not change his way to the NFL
The choice of seventh round Thomas Fidone II did not pass what many would consider as a typical collegial career.
The athletic interwar period has torn his ACL just a match in his first year season at Nebraska. Before he could return to the field the following year, Fidone torn the same LCA for the second time. The consecutive injuries limited the tight 6 -inch end to a single match in his first two seasons.
As hard as it treated injuries, the 22 -year -old said that he would not change his way to the NFL.
“It was really difficult, but I always said that of the university, and I would not take them back,” Fidone told the media. “I think they made me who I am mentally and physically, and it made me train harder in terms of simple physics and being able to come back better than before. It is always the kind of lens that I had when he came to come back from injuries.”
As difficult as it went through the same rehabilitation in the consecutive years, Fidone said he had been able to attack the process with a more confident state of mind the second time that he had already returned stronger from the injury once.
“It was difficult, but in my mind, I have just, I have a very narrow and tight family with a lot of support and good friends, a good group of friends, but I knew that I had managed the first, I came back strong, fast and explosive, so I knew I could do the second even better,” said the tight recruit. “I had almost some experience unfortunately in a certain way, but just what to do and what I needed to help me push and come back where I wanted to be.”
