When an NFL team makes a first-round selection Zach Gentry Jersey , they are not just winging it.that are hired for one reason; to find the best college players that would fit perfectly with their franchise. These people spend their entire lives scouting players and ranking them against one another in the pool of talent from each year’s draft.But even the best of the best NFL scouting personnel mess up from time to time, which is usually not their fault. Sometimes, a player can’t stay healthy or ends up getting badly injured before he even has a chance to prove himself on the gridiron. Other times, it is the personality and work ethic that are tough to scout.Then there are players who simply cannot handle the workload, the pressure, or the competition for playing time, year after year Chris Lindstrom Jersey , and they end up becoming a bust. It happens all the time. When the spotlights come on, some players would rather enjoy the fame and the money instead of busting their tails to get better.Then again, some players are just not that good. They look good, they practice good, and they test well. They just do not have what it takes to stick around the NFL.Let’s take a look at the first 32 picks of every NFL Draft and talk about the biggest bust at each slot. Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy says he’s making progress with his right ankle injury but his status is uncertain for Sunday’s AFC wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
McCoy spoke to the media on Thursday for the first time since suffering the injury in Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Miami Dolphins. He has yet to practice this week, but did participate in stretches Thursday before leaving the field with a trainer.
”I’m definitely happy with how things are working out so far, but there is a lot more room for improvement http://www.falconscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kaleb-mcgary-jersey , especially with where I want to be,” McCoy said. ”I know my body, I know myself, especially the way I play is more cutting and running.
”It’s been feeling a lot better. I’m out of the boot and I can walk around without any pain. So that’s a plus.”
McCoy has been Buffalo’s most explosive and most consistent playmaker, finishing the year with 1,138 rushing yards and six touchdowns. His absence would leave a hole in Buffalo’s offensive attack; the Bills finished the regular season with the 31st-ranked passing attack in the league.
”I just want to be able to cut well enough where I don’t have a lot of pain when I’m cutting,” McCoy said. ”I just want to be close or the best as far as 100 percent as I can get. But the type of game like this Kendall Sheffield Jersey , you’ve got to lay it all on the line. If I can’t get 100 percent, as long as I’m out there and I can run effective enough I’ll do it. So we’ll just see.”
McCoy was quick to mention previous times when he tried to play through injuries in Buffalo and had limited success. McCoy has attempted to play through hamstring injuries in each of the past two seasons. Each time, his production significantly dropped.
”I don’t want to make any promises,” McCoy said.
The Bills have no established running back behind McCoy on the depth chart. Marcus Murphy was promoted from the practice squad ahead of the Week 17 win over the Dolphins, rushing for 41 yards on seven carries. Buffalo also has veteran fullback/running back Mike Tolbert.
”I think we’re moving in the right direction,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said of McCoy. ”Will we be able to get there in time? We’ll see.”
