International Players... Getting Respect

There may not be a bigger underdog than an "International" American football player. For years American college players would continue their careers in places like Germany, Sweden and Italy, and typically would dominate. But, these leagues have always had homegrown talent. Freakishly athletic, yet very raw athletes. We (Marty & Matt) became aware of these players back in the 1990's when we stumbled upon some fantastic players from teams like Milano Seamen, Helsinki Roosters and Braunschwieg Lions. Periodically International players would appear on our scouting report throughout those years. But within the past ten years, football leagues in Europe, Asia and South America have vastly improved their coaching and training. This finally got the attention of the pro football leagues here in the states. The NFL now offers an International Player Pathway Program and an International Combine. The CFL puts on Global Combines around the world. The XFL had International players at their Summer Showcase. A handful of these athletes also appeared in The Spring League, and even the Hula Bowl now offers spots to overseas players.

It seems like now is the time for us to get back into "scouting" internationally. You can view our full International American Football Player Report on MartyandMatt.com This report contains all of the players that had participated in the various combines and programs offered by Pro Leagues in 2019/2020. Going forward we will be keeping an eye on the best players from around the globe. You never know when you might find a true diamond.

PARHAM PROVES NEED FOR SPRING LEAGUE

200414_Donald_Parham_Headshot



How does a talented player from a small-school program prove that they can play at the next level? How do they get beyond running 40s, short-shuttles and verticals and prove that they belong on the field with the big boys from UCLA, USC, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, etc.?

For Donald Parham from Stetson University in central Florida, that opportunity came in the form of the XFL. In 2018, he was the top receiving tight end in all of college football, averaging 146.6 yards on 9.4 receptions per game. His 2018 performance earned him consensus first team All American recognition and he was selected to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

Some NFL scouts did take a limited look at the 6-8, 237lb tight end and while they liked his great hands and his 36" arms that gave him an excellent catch radius, they were concerned about what they perceived as his lack of weight, strength and average speed. While every prospect is judged on strengths and weaknesses, it is harder for small-school players to overcome perceived weaknesses than FBS players.

I say "perceived weaknesses" because despite a good pro day performance, the top receiving TE in college football was not high on any draft boards . At his pro day, Parham tested as well or better than the the top ten tight ends at the NFL Combine in every event, except the shuttle and cones. To be fair, he didn't just perform poorly in the shuttle and three-cone, he was abysmal. Still, he ran faster, out jumped in the vertical and broad jumps and equaled the bench press of  Detroit Lions 1st-rounder T.J. Hockenson.

Oddly enough, Parham signed with the Detroit Lions after going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft. After being waived by the Lions, he signed with the Washington Redskins, spent some time on their practice squad and eventually waived. Even the Redskins, famous for their inability to keep their tight ends healthy, did not give him an on-field opportunity.

In 2020, he lasted until the ninth round before he was selected by the the Dallas Renegades in the XFL Draft. On the field, Parham was able to prove that he was a legitimate offensive weapon as he was the league's third leading receiver and top tight end when it suspended operations due to Covid-19.

His on-field performance resulted in Parham recently being signed by the Los Angeles Chargers to a multi-year contract. Without the XFL, Parham's career would either be over or subject to an endless string of workouts and practice squads.

Parham's experience is an example of the need for a development league to provide an opportunity for small-school players (an even unheralded BCS players) to demonstrate their talent to the NFL. Spring football has a poor record of success, but that is because they have either seen themselves as a challenge to the NFL or tried to be bigger than the market can handle.

A spring league marketing itself as an "opportunity league" can succeed. People love the underdog and promoting itself as the league where underdogs get their shot is attractive. Leagues that feel the need to succeed in NFL markets are doomed to fail. People want a story, someone to pull for. To date, the leagues have wasted their time ensuring that they have a team in New York, Chicago or LA. It is not the physical location of the team that will excite fans, it is the players that will do so. It is their stories that will draw in the fans. The league would profit more from a "Hard Knocks" show than having a team in New Rutherford, NJ.

In fact, I would concentrate on franchises in non-NFL cities. What is the point of having a team in a 60,000 capacity stadium when there attendance would be lucky to reach 30,000? A half-empty stadium looks bad not only in-person but on TV. NFL cities also usually have NBA or NHL teams in the playoffs or an MLB team ready to start the season competing for the limited sports entertainment dollar. College stadiums in mid-sized markets are available and could provide a quality backdrop for TV viewing without the need to draw 60,000 fans. Most people will see it on TV. What matters is how they see the product. If it is not perceived as popular in the host community, why should I care about it?

The need is there. With less youth participating in football, there will come a time when teams need to look beyond the BCS for quality talent. It is there now in places like Slippery Rock, Mount Union, Morningside and even Stetson and a well-run spring league could prove that.

A BALLER IS A BALLER




The #1 knock on small school players, regardless of their collegiate success, is always the same. “Yeah, but they did that versus lesser competition.” My response is always the same, as well. “A baller is a baller.”

While I am certainly not equating BCS rosters with FCS, DII, DIII, NAIA or USports rosters, I am saying that players who dominate their division are legitimate pro prospects. Yes, sometimes you have to overlook size and level of competition. No, you’re not going to roll the dice on a 5-4, 165lb running back from Division III but if teams are creative and think outside the box, there is quality talent at all levels.

In the 2005, Harvard, an FSC school, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was taken in the seventh round, 250th overall, by the St. Louis Rams. He was the last QB taken in that draft. Meanwhile, the Patriots selected Matt Cassell, a USC quarterback, who sat on the bench for that BCS school, twenty picks ahead of him. While Cassell had an okay career, “FitzMagic” is still lighting it up on the field. But teams continue to prefer a second string BCS player over a dominant player from a lower division. Even mediocre BCS players take precedence; consider some of the others taken ahead of Fitzpatrick – James Killian of Tulsa (7th round), Adrian McPerson of Florida State (6th round), Stefan Lefors of Louisville (4th round), David Greene of Georgia (3rd round), etc. You get the point.

Chauncey Washington was a 5-11, 205lb running back for USC; the alma mater of O.J., Marcus Allen, Frank Gifford, Reggie Bush, etc. Projected as a starter for the Trojans, academic ineligibility and constant injuries seriously hampered his college career. He finished his career at USC with 371 carries, 1778 yards, 4.8 yds/carry, 19 TDs, 17 receptions for 158 yards, a 9.3 yds/rec, 2 TDS. Over 900 of those yards came in his final season when he earned All-PAC10 honorable mention.

Washington was drafted in the 7th round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Not a bad gamble by Jacksonville but Washington went on to play for 4 teams and finished his career touching the ball only 8 times and gaining a total of 20 all-purpose yards with no touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the draft came and went and no one drafted a 5-7, 200lb running back who ended his college career as college football's all-time leading rusher, ranked second on the NCAA all-time list in all-purpose yards, only the second player in collegiate history to score more than 100 touchdowns, and the 3,159 that he gained in 2006 was second only to Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State. “Yeah, but he did that versus lesser competition.”

He was not invited to the NFL Combine but at his Pro Day, he ran the 40-yard dash in times of 4.33 and 4.38 seconds, which would have been the second-fastest among all running backs at the NFL Combine in 2008. He posted what would have been the best pro-agility time of 4.03 seconds, the second-best vertical jump (38½ inches) and the best 60-yard shuttle time (11.2 seconds). He also bench-pressed 225 pounds 20 times. Hmmmm, still not drafted?

Of course, I’m talking about Danny Woodhead of Division II’s Chadron State. Woodhead proved that a baller is a baller and that total dominance at any level can be an indication of ability to play at the next level. Danny proved to be a weapon in the NFL. It took innovative coaches in New England and San Diego to utilize his skill set and integrate it into their offense. Danny was productive in the running and passing games and proved, week after week, that he belonged. Like most running backs, injuries eventually took their toll on him and he retired after nine seasons.

“A baller is a baller.”

As an aside, how many of the 27 wide receivers taken in the 2008 draft ahead of Pierre Garcon of Division III’s Mount Union (6th round/#205) had a better career?

Most small school players, like Woodhead, get their shot as undrafted free agents. With the coronavirus, this is going to make the road harder for them as pro days have been cancelled. If teams have done their homework and look for football players, not pedigree, they could end up with someone like Rod Smith, WR, Missouri Southern State, Tony Romo, QB, Eastern Illinois, Emmitt Thomas, DB, Bishop College (no longer exists), London Fletcher, LB, John Carroll, Larry Little, G, Bethune-Cookman, Adam Vinatieri, K, South Dakota State, John Randle, DT, Texas A&M-Kingsville,, Jim Langer, G, South Dakota State, Willie Brown, CB, Grambling State,  or Kurt Warner, QB, Northern Iowa; all undrafted free agents.

“A baller is a baller.”

Why not Roland Rivers, III? Thinking outside the box.

Roland Rivers III - Football - Slippery Rock University Athletics


If the New England Patriots are looking to replace Tom Brady, but not in the first round, there is an intriguing pick in the latter rounds recommended by MartyandMatt.com.

Roland Rivers, III is a 6-3, 225lb quarterback out of Slippery Rock in Pennsylvania. We love the PSAC that includes Bloomsburg, Edinboro, IUP, California-PA, etc. It is a D-II conference that plays tough, physical football. Rivers is probably the best kept secret in this whole QB class.

Rivers earned an invite to be one of the quarterbacks at the Hula Bowl after putting together a record-shattering senior season while leading Slippery Rock in 2019.

He set the Division II single-season record for points responsible for with 370 and tied the Division II single-season records for touchdowns responsible for (61) and games with at least three passing touchdowns (11). Rivers also shattered the SRU single-season records for completions (322), passing yards (4,460), passing touchdowns (52) and total offense (5,160). His 52 passing touchdowns are the fourth most in Division II history in a single-season and he became just the fourth player in Division II history to top 5,000 total offensive yards in a single-year.

Rivers ranked first in the nation in passing yards (4,460), passing touchdowns (52), total offense (5,160) and points responsible for (370) and finished the year completing 322-of-481 passes for 4,460 yards with 52 touchdowns and just seven interceptions, while also rushing for 700 yards and nine touchdowns. He shattered the SRU career record for touchdown passes, throwing 80 in just 26 games over two seasons at The Rock.

Rivers, who played his first two years at Valdosta State, finished his four-year career with 9,041 passing yards, 1,723 rushing yards, 99 passing touchdowns, 20 rushing touchdowns, 10,764 yards of total offense and 119 total touchdowns responsible for. His 99 career touchdown passes are 25 more than any other active player in Division II at the end of 2019. He led Slippery Rock to a 13-1 record in 2019 with a trip to the NCAA Division II Semifinals.

Rivers went 23-3 as a starter at SRU over the last two years of his career, leading The Rock to at least the NCAA Quarterfinals in each year. He became the first SRU player ever to be awarded the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II National Player of the Year. Rivers also earned multiple first team All-America recognitions, was the National Offensive Player of the Year in Division II and was announced as the Maxwell Football Club's Brian Westbrook Regional Athlete of the Year.

I know what you're going to say, "But that's at the D-II level!" Tell that to non-BCS players like Tyreek Hill, Adam Thielen, Pierre Garcon, John Brown, Malcolm Butler, Austin Ekeler, etc. Sure, none of those are quarterbacks but when someone dominates like Rivers has, is there any reason to skip over him and select a mediocre QB from a BCS program. Teams are more likely to spend precious draft picks on a backup from a BCS school (like Matt Cassell) rather than use a late-round pick on a small school guy who proved it in a dominating fashion on the field, like Rivers.

Rivers is for real and someone needs to take a chance on him.
