Spotlighting Small-School Studs Sure to Make a Splash in NFL Training Camps

In a scouting report I did on David Quessenberry prior to the draft, I thought this former San Jose St. Spartan would be taken around the third round. Instead, he lasted all the way into the sixth. This could be due to his lack of aggression and ability to finish blocks. Aside from that, there?s some incredible upside to this kid. Here is an excerpt from that scouting report:

Quessenberry?is a natural pass-protector with his quick feet, sound technique and lead-heavy anchoring ability. His best attributes shine when he can kick-slide back to a good drop angle, which then allows him to wait until the defender comes to him. When this happens, it?s extremely difficult for the rusher to run through, or around, him.?Quessenberry?is a natural pass-protector with his quick feet, sound technique and lead-heavy anchoring ability.

When this happens, it?s extremely difficult for the rusher to run through, or around, him.?

In addition to this, I projected his best system fit would be a zone-blocking scheme. This would take advantage of his quickness and athletic ability.

No team in the NFL runs more zone blocking than do the Texans. Sounds like a good fit.?

You might want to ?Google? his name in a couple weeks, so you can read about how much he shined in training camp. This often is the destiny of highly athletic, coachable and versatile players who work their tails off. By all accounts, Quessenberry fits this description perfectly.?
