>>Scout Calls Cardale Jones 'A Poor Man's JaMarcus Russell'

There are insults and then there is calling someone a "poor man's JaMarcus Russell," which is perhaps the most insulting thing ever said about another human being.

And someone said it about Cardale Jones, the former Ohio State quarterback who enters the draft as one of the most upside-filled and intriuging prospects out there.

From Bob McGinn's annual pre-draft positional breakdown at the Milawaukee Journal-Sentinel:

"Kind of reminds me of a poor man's JaMarcus Russell," said another scout. "At least JaMarcus had some touch. This guy just throws the ball. His mechanics are all over the place."

Added a third scout: "Strong arm. Big, big body. Not the brightest cookie in the world. I worry about him when he gets money in his pocket. I just don't know if it's all there mentally."

It's not always negative:

"You can't pass a talent like that," said one scout. "If you're going to bet on one, bet on a guy with all the talent if he shows you enough want-to."

People utilizing anonymous opinions to burn him by calling him similar to Russell -- one of the all-time busts in NFL history and clearly not a nice comparison -- is pretty shoddy.

>>Michigan Introducing New Technology At Practices

Your favorite college football teams might be wearing devices that look like iPhones on their arms during practice this fall. But this isn't schools taking the fashion of your everyday gym-goer and bringing it to the football field, it's just the latest bit of technology to improve a team's efficiency on the practice field.

According to the Detroit Free Press, Michigan is in the process of checking out such technology during the offseason. Earlier this week, officials from GoRout.com were in Ann Arbor to meet with the coaching staff for a second time about using their devices on the practice field.

"Every college football program in the country has certain bottlenecks when it comes to practice," GoRout.com CEO Mike Rolih told the Free Press.

According to the other comments from Rolih to the Free Press, the devices will be particularly helpful in allowing the scout team to quickly learn and execute the plays necessary to mimic the upcoming opposition. Coaches will be able to upload the plays into the devices instead of running around with big play cards and players will be able to move faster on the practice field.
