If you’re not familiar with the name Jim Nagy, then there’s a chance you don’t pay all that much attention to what some consider the single most important week of evaluating draft-eligible players during the pre-draft process.\u00a0 As the head of the Senior Bowl, which is every team’s only chance to see the top players go head-to-head on a large scale, Nagy is charged with assembling the rosters for each squad.\u00a0 Because of this, there are few people in the country who spend as much time looking over the draft’s top players as this pro scout of 18 years.<\/p>\n
In a pair of tweets in recent weeks, Nagy has had such high praise for a pair of players that we thought would be worth passing along as both players are potential targets for the Jets with the 11th overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n
First up, Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs.\u00a0 For those who haven’t watched Ruggs play but have focused only on his 40 time, they may not believe what Nagy is saying, but this isn’t an agent trying to promote one of his own guys, but a key evaluator offering his perspective.\u00a0 In discussing Ruggs, Nagy said Ruggs “is WR1 in this draft class and don’t let anyone else sell you otherwise”.<\/p>\n
