Maybe I'm reading more into that than is intended, but.....

Initially I was kind of surprised that his trainer is coming for a visit too. But when you think about it, it does make sense. Selection of a college for Derrick is probably a "business decision" for the LeBlanc family; he is being "groomed" for what they hope is a lucrative NFL career and they don't what to leave anything to chance. The trainer undoubtedly wants to find out what the colleges are doing (i.e. training wise) and coordinate his program that will efficiently merge into theirs when Derrick attends college. In addition, the father probably wants the trainer's "professional input" on what he thinks about the effectiveness of the school's "training methods", etc. too.

Not a sour grapes post here because these kids all have a ton of time to develop, but supposedly when he and Vernon went through drills together at camp LeBlanc definitely looked to be the more fluid of the two.

If this isn’t the correct thread, please move. But I can’t say I disagree. When I saw these videos earlier this year, I said this kid doesn’t move like any 5star DE I’ve ever seen. He’s very choppy and stiff. Does that mean he can’t be an elite college football player? Nope. Just an observation.

Geez yeah he's for sure awkward... he's just got to grow into his body more though I think. Reminds me of Landon Jackson from last years cycle.

No doubt though that bigger ends don't move as well as those a few inches shorter.
