1. These guys have great athletic profiles, but also were productive players and leaders.
2. Miles Murphy was 2nd in the ACC in sacks and had 11 TFL. He doesn't just hunt sacks. Team captain.
3. DJ Turner RAS of 9.58. Fastest 40. But also allowed a passer rating og 68.3 in 2022 and 54.8 in 2021. He can play.
4. Jordan Battle was a team captain.
5. Charlie Jones RAS of 8.54, with the negative being his size.
6. Charlie Jones led the nation with 110 receptions and setting the school record at Purdue. Was 2nd in yards with 1,361. And 5th in TDs with 12. AP 2nd Team all-American. Big Ten Special Teams player of the year (Reggie Toby award) in 2021 at Iowa. QB rating of 119.0 when targeted. Excelled vs PSU & Michigan.
7. Chase Brown was 4th in the nation in rushing yards (1,643) and 3rd in rushing yards per game (136.9). Second in nation in forced missed tackles (83). Amazing personal story.
8. Andrei Iosivas RAS of 9.96.
9. Iosivas also a team Captain. Led Ivy League in catches, yards, and TDs.
10. Brad Robbins. Great hangtime. Zero touchbacks last year.
Production, ability, smarts, character, culture fits.
Nice. Charlie Jones and Chase Brown, these guys are special, expecting both to be good ones for us even as rookies.

Iosivas after their first up close look definitely is a project. His technique on catching passes definitely needs refinement. I’m not suggesting there’s any buyers remorse on the contrary. He just needs a lot of refinement and if he wants to make it in the league his road has just begun.
Yes, Iosivas tends to catch with his body and not his hands. That is his knock.
