I probably seemed like an #NCState homer the last two weeks. Their 2018 drsft class is LOADED.

DT Justin Jones greatly impressed, DT BJ Hill did well. RB Jaylen Samuels might be a mid 2nd rounder. DE Street impressed last week. They’ll have 7 draft picks this year. https://t.co/VK4Wb7sX9D

NC State DL Justin Jones had a fantastic week of practices and made a lot of money in 1-on-1’s, as seen here #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/qPeUOqvex6

Two of the better DL in 1-on-1s have been the NC State pairing of Justin Jones & B.J. Hill.

Justin Jones from NC State would kick your ass, that much is certain.

BJ Hill is a pretty strong run defender, but there isn’t much there as a pass rusher right now. I like him though.

Justin Jones is a speed-to-power rusher, gets mauled by doubles but has some one gap ability. He was very good this week https://t.co/rq143IP8Rs

Linebackers/safeties can’t cover #NCState HB/RB Jaylen Samuels out of the backfield. Outstanding route quickness. What he does best.

— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) January 25, 2018

#NCState RB/do-it-all athlete Jaylen Samuels looks so natural as a route runner and receiver.

At his size, with his body control, and his pass catching ability, he’s going to be really coveted as the process continues. #SeniorBowl
