URSCHEL our future Center

TBird · January 7, 2015

DeCosta said he would be our future Center on draft day selected on the 5th round out of

Penn State. He's playing RG very well recently allowing Yanda to move to RT in Wagner's

absence. He made a big block vs Piss' #2 draft pick, pass rusher Truitt.

He's not the struggest blocker on the line but strong enough to hold them back and open

some holes displaying quick feet. He's done well at other times in the regular season but has

shined in the POs.

If Monroe returns, Urschel and the right side will probably stay the way it is with Urschel and Yanda.

What another great draft for Ozzie picking up a 5th rounder not to mention winning being

the only Wild Card winner over the weekend with an undrafted rookie playing LT for the

first time in a playoff game.

Gilmore another pick @ #99 scored a big TD and MOsley and Jernigan have been two of

the best players in the entire 2014 draft.

But for this post - it's all Urschel.

I didn't know he played center before. If he can play I guess this might be Gradkowski's last yr.

I was looking for the DeCosta quote but found this. Urschel is listed on the roster as a OG/C.

By the end of camp he rose to first backup as OG and C as Jensen went to the practice squad

with sleep apnea. He was promoted for the POs and activated.

Urschel is also a math scholar who taught calculas and trig 3 days a week at Penn

St in addition to his football duties. He graduated with a 4.00 gpa which he transfers to the football field

as everyone can see.

Here's the Ravens site.

Here's his rookie highlights. Pretty impressive. Big rap vs him was his short arm length

and gets stood up and bulled rush. That happened in NO but he's improved.
