Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Cam Porter and whether or not he’s gonna get drafted. I got curious, so I decided to do a little digging myself. Here’s how it went down:
Checking Out the Stats
First things first, I pulled up some of his stats. You know, the usual stuff – rushing yards, touchdowns, games played. I wanted to get a solid baseline of how he performed in college. I mainly used sports websites I always browse for checking game scores.
Reading Mock Drafts
Then, I hit up a bunch of mock drafts. It’s always interesting to see what the “experts” are predicting. Some had him going in the later rounds, others didn’t have him listed at all. It was a real mixed bag, to be honest, I felt that was not the whole picture.
Scouting Reports Deep Dive
Next, I dug into some scouting reports. This is where things got a little more detailed. I wanted to see what people were saying about his strengths and weaknesses. Found some notes about his running style, vision, and ability to catch out of the backfield. Also saw some concerns about his pass protection and top-end speed.
The Eye Test (Game Footage)
Of course, stats and reports only tell you so much. I had to watch some actual game footage. I spent a good chunk of time watching highlights and full-game replays. I was mainly looking at how he moved, how he hit the holes, and how he reacted to pressure. It helped understand his advantages, and why he got those concerns.
Social Media Buzz (For Fun)
Finally, I just poked around on social media – Twitter, mostly. Just to see what the general fan sentiment was. It’s not exactly scientific, but it can be interesting to see what the overall buzz is like. Lots of different opinions flying around. Nothing concrete and pretty messy.
My Conclusion (For Now)
After all that, I’m still not 100% sure. It really could go either way. He’s got some definite strengths, but there are also some areas he needs to improve. It’s gonna be interesting to see what happens on draft day! I guess I and other people will see.
