East West Shrine Game Week.

[*Synric*]

Looks like a couple mid round WRs are catching some attention during practices.

Quotes from Charlie Campbell at Walterfootball.com

Quote:The star of this practice was Illinois wide receiver Geronimo Allison. He was on fire, absolutely torching defensive backs from start to finish. Allison has had a good week, but he killed it on Wednesday. In the team scrimmage, he got his dominant day started with a nice reception on an out route that he broke downfield for a long run after the catch. Shortly later, he burned a corner and safety on a deep post for a touchdown from about midfield. He then showed his possession skills with a short reception on a slant in traffic.

In the red zone period from the 20-yard line, Allison ran a short crossing route and exploded through the defense for a score. When the ball was moved closer, he had about a 10-yard touchdown pass on a slant after getting quick separation.

Sources say they really like Allison's skill set. He has quickness for a 6-foot-3 receiver and runs good routes. Allison also has big, soft hands. He is very good at attacking the football away from his body and locking it in. The quickness and those route-running skills could be seen in his red-zone scores. He also has length and height. The one issue that sources say Allison needs to improve is strength. Going to an NFL strength and conditioning program should remedy that. Allison had a strong week of practice, and this session really put a cap on it. He made himself some money in Mobile.

Quote:Sources from multiple teams have been raving about Massachusetts-Amherst wide receiver Tajaé Sharpe. The 6-foot-3, 188-pounder has quickness to go with good size and length. Sharpe is having a superb week and has been catching the heck out of ball. As one scout said, "He's been dominating these DBs all week." Sharpe gets separation and is a smooth receiver. He's really helped himself this week. One team said he's in the mid-round range and shouldn't go any lower than the fifth round.
