Gotta be the worst evaluation in the history of recruiting. This isn't just someone we took, this was a guy Mario was dying to get at Oregon and made sure he landed as soon as he got here.

Borderline 5 star that can't even play for a mediocre D2.

I can't think of a worse example that was purely talent/physical related. Not derailed by career ending injuries or off-field trouble.

Where is Leonard Manuel these days? High school 5 star and vanished
 
On the final series of the game, they had Lightfoot next to Bain & Mesidor on successive plays. It shows how much the staff values is ability to rush the passer. He has a great first step, twitch, can bend, and plays with a motor. He's going to be a real contributor for us. Excited to see it.

Obviously I'm being hyperbolic but he's noticeably small. Reminds me a bit of Tim Williams from Bama

**** even Tim Williams was 250+ in Indy (albeit he probably packed on weight for combine).
This kid will never be an edge setter, and that’s okay. He has a role, and can still add weight to be able to play the run better. Like someone mentioned, the staff obviously trusts him enough to put him out there in such huge moments. As we get deeper into this schedule and the OL’s we face aren’t 1/4 of what we just saw Sunday, I expect this thread to be bumped a few times. He will get his, and he knows guys like Pickett and Lowe are on his bumper trying to take his minutes away so we will get his best. It’s beautiful what competition actually does.
