While many NCAA football fans might not have seen the Drake Bulldogs play, word gets around to NFL Scouts. The Patriots have been to Des Moines to check out the scintillating DE/OLB Dain Taylor, who didn’t disappoint last week. He tallied a sack and a interception returned for a TD.
The main NCAA game that we’ll be scouting this week is the undefeated matchup of Oklahoma vs Missouri. We’ll be watching two premiere DE/OLB hybrids that the Patriots will surely be taking a look at this spring.
