Good looking highlight tape on YouTube.

Quite a few contested catches there too, looks like a baller. Reminds me of Chad Johnson a bit for some reason

Are you serious? At the same time?

I found this link for Engram and Chubb but nothing in it for Drake.

https://www.newsday.com/sports/foot...-bradley-chubb-nfl-draft-hillgrove-1.18269025

Edit - I found this in another article.

For most of high school, Engram wasn't even the focal point of his own football team's offense. That honor went to running back Kenyan Drake, who went on to play for Alabama and the Dolphins, in Hillgrove's Wing-T offense. As a tight end in a running scheme, it was hard for Engram — a speedy receiving option who is now a hybrid tight end/wide receiver — to get noticed.

Decent Article but to save some time

Chubb still talks to Hillgrove coach Phil Ironside from time to time and said he checks in on his alma mater every now and then.

“I still have a lot of love for those guys,” Chubb said. “This senior class now is the last couple of kids that I know over there. I want them to be successful and earn college opportunities.”

Ironside is excited for Chubb and all the success he’s having.

“I’m most proud of guys like Bradley and (Miami Dolphins running back) Kenyan (Drake) and (New York Giants tight end) Evan (Engram), for the young men and character guys they’ve become,” Ironside said. “They haven’t changed, and they’re not too big for their britches. When they come back and see us, they talk to the players, and they have a vested interest in giving back to the program.”


Chubb, who also has aspirations of playing in the NFL one day, regularly keeps in contact with Engram and Drake, and he spoke with Engram — a first-round selection last April — prior to making his decision to return to N.C. State for his senior season.

“It was definitely helpful to me, in terms of making my decision, to speak with Evan,” Chubb said. “I talk to those guys a lot to see how they’re doing and what it’s like on the next level. They tell me the truth all the time. It’s good to see them have success and, hopefully, as things go how I want them to go, I’ll be up with them next year.”

EDIT: Apparantly it was 2011 from the looks of this it was Drakes SR season.... http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/hillgrove-hawks-(powder-springs,ga)/football-fall-11/roster.htm

When Bob Quinn first took over as #Lions general manager, I wrote about how his approach to the bottom of the roster is modeled after the Belichick?s and used this quote from @NEPD_Loyko as an example of what to expect.

I like this signing A LOT.... Was pretty productive in college.... But has questions about his size/short arms which is why he went undrafted.. He was an oversized 4-3 DE and played a little DT in college but hopefully can find a spot to shine in our new scheme.

I'm most intrigued by Chris Jones. He torn his meniscus in the summer of 2017. Came back and played 7 games after the injury. I'm sure he wasn't 100%. If we were on Hard Knocks, that's who I would watch closely.

TE DeAndre Goolsby gets my vote.
