SKULL SESSION: NICK BOSA'S EFFORT, ISAIAH PRINCE'S NFL HOPES, AND CHRIS HOLTMANN'S HOOPS TRANSFER SEARCH
THE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED. Isaiah Prince had a rocky, up-and-down career at Ohio State and probably didn't play as well as he wanted to all the time, but when you're 6-foot-7, 310 pounds, you're gonna have no problems getting a chance in the league regardless of how you played in college, especially when you started multiple years at a school like Ohio State.
From Jim McBride of the
Boston Globe:
Prince has a reputation as a leader among his teammates and was lauded for his ability to adapt and for his consistent improvement by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer. Prince is coming from a program that should allow him to transition to an NFL organization — including the Patriots — smoothly.
“Practice every day was a war,’’ Prince said. “If you didn’t show up to practice mentally prepared, you definitely were exposed . . . Every day is serious. Every practice is serious. You go against the best every day. Just the opportunity to grow for the next level every day. You’re playing for something big every day. It’s very important that you pay attention and learn how to contribute.’’
...
“I think what I bring to the NFL is my adaptability,’’ he said. “You put me in any situation, I’ll make the most of it. I’ll make things happen. You put me in at right guard, left guard, left tackle, right tackle, I’ll make the most of it.’’
Prince isn't getting a ton of hype entering the draft, I'm not about to rule out the guy Nick Bosa once called the best tackle in college football, especially if noted-football wizard Bill Belichick gets his hands on him.
If Prince – or any Buckeye, for that matter – ends up in a Patriots uniform, I'm just going to go ahead and assume he'll be a 10-year starter and 5-time Pro Bowler.
