Andrew Wingard Womens Bryce Love Jersey , SSchool: Wyoming | Conference: Mountain WestCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 6-0 / 205 lbsProjected Draft Status: 6th or 7th RoundNFL Comparison: Kavon FrazierCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewAndrew Wingard was a 2-star running back recruit when he committed to Wyoming back in 2015. Wingard is from Arvada, Colorado and was interested in staying in the state and playing for the University of Colorado but he was never offered a scholarship by the program. Instead it was only Wyoming and North Dakota that offered him scholarships. Having chosen the former Wingard was moved to safety his freshman season and quickly became one of the most productive safeties in all of college football. There is no question that if Wingard went to a power five school and put up the numbers he did during his career he might be in the 4th or 5th round conversation instead of being projected on day 3. That is part of Wingard’s journey to the pro’s and he knows it. He loves being the underdog and plays with a chip on his shoulder. He has to prove that he can be just as aggressive, reliable, and productive against top competition. He started that process at the East West Shrine game and will continue it at the NFL combine. He is extremely good in run support and looks better than some linebackers out there on the field. If Wingard can test well look for him to move up in the draft come April. StrengthsGood size, strength, and toughness for the position. He flies to the football all over the field and gets into the thick of things constantly.Reliable and prolific as a tackler. Shows decent technique and decent speed to power conversion.Particularly a weapon against the run and pressuring the QB. He can come up to the LOS quickly and use his vision and instincts to quickly impact a play.Can shed blocks and work his way to the ball through all the mess. Has good vision working downhill.WeaknessesNeeds to improve technique in pass coverage. While he has a not insignificant amount of interceptions in his career unfortunately those were more from errant throws than him reading the QBs eyes and working his way back across the receiver in coverage. Stiff hips limit him in his back peddle and bail technique.He has decent athleticism but nothing special. Lacks the speed to remain playing deep. It will not only limit him to a box safety but probably also limit him as a backup safety who contributes mainly on special teams. Doesn’t have the agility, instincts, range, and anticipatory skills you want to see out of the position. Late to recognize and cover field once the ball is thrown.Let’s see his work:More Andrew Wingard videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsAs the Redskins safety situation currently stands Deshazor Everett and Troy Apke are slated to be starters next year since Clinton-Dix has yet to be re-signed and may not be. Monte Nicholson still has uncertainty regarding his situation and could face possibly disciplinary action from the team or from the league. Not only do the Redskins need to get their starting safeties in order they need to desperately improve depth at the position. Wingard can come in and be that backup physical box safety that the team needs not only in a pinch but also on special teams. He has the skillset not only to make the final 53 on the roster but to stick around the NFL for a while a key special teams contributor and the Redskins need help on that front as well. If the Redskins were ever so bold, there are even a couple situations where I can see Wingard on the field as a ‘linebacker’ to help defend against mobile QBs. As to if Wingard can develop and be more than a backup? Maybe but I wouldn’t hold my breath with new defensive backs coach Ray Horton on doing so. If Wingard goes in the range he is currently projected he would be a solid and reliable investment that would make the special teams unit better. And now seems like a good time to remind you all, with the team’s new special teams coordinator the unit will need all the help it can get.

Fischer of College Football Metrics:Click this link to access all 2018 and 2019 Undrafted Free Agent profiles on Hogs HavenWhy would a player who excites a professional scouting service in this way end up undrafted?Well, like the recently profiled T.J. Rahming, Steven Sims, Jr. is an undersized athlete who played in an unheralded, and, in Sims’ case, losing program.Over the past three years, Kansas has gone 2-10, 1-11, 3-9.In addition, the program just doesn’t have a ‘reputation’ for producing NFL quality offensive players.Furthermore, Sims can’t boast any eye-popping raw stats from college, aside from some pretty impressive punt return stats.In 2016, his sophomore season, Steven Sims had 72 catches, 859 yards, 7 TDs. That’s solid, but not the kind of production that really stands out.But taken in context, Sims’ 7 TDs represented 44% of the TD passes for Kansas QBs in 2016.The passes in his best statistical season came fromthree bad quarterbacks who combined for 16 touchdown passes and 22 interceptions.Sims went on to catch 6 of the team’s 14 TDs in 2017 and 4 out of 17 in 2018.So, we’ve got a good, though small-bodied player on a losing team, with production that fell over his final three seasons.These are not things that usually get a player noticed or drafted.But maybe SIms is the wide receiver equivalent of Wes Martin, the Redskins’ under-the-radar 4th round offensive lineman from Indiana.Maybe Sims has the skills to make the roster and do some damage in the NFL.Let me give you a few more nuggets from College Football Metrics, who love Sims as a player:4.35 40-time (maybe a 4.30 that needs bumped to a 4.35 because of the Pro Day fudge factor)1.49 10-yard split6.7s for a three-cone5’9”/5’10” and 180 +/-pounds. Hoping he has 9”+ hands.The Report goes on to compare Steven Sims to these players:Emmanuel SandersAldrick RobinsonPhillip DorsettTyreek HillBrandin CooksCorey ColemanYouTube Highlight reelOf course, for any UDFA trying to make the Redskins team, the ability to contribute on special teams is critical.Steven Sims is a really small dude who wasn’t drafted.Chances are, the only way he makes it onto the Redskins roster is as a punt returner specialist.Fortunately for him, he has some credentials.It’s true that Sims had limited work as a punt returner, with only 26 returns in his 4-year career, but he averaged a whopping 21.7 yards per return, and in his Junior year had 14 returns for 355 yards - an incredible 25.4 yards per return.In other words, this guy was giving his team a quarter of the field back — probably half the punt distance — on his average returns in 2017.Sims was a part-time returner for the team https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , putting up his best numbers as a junior.Like his other stats, they aren’t eye-popping, but he does at least have some experience as a return man.One might be led by the glowing scouting report above to think that Steven Sims, Jr. may be another hidden diamond uncovered by Doug Williams, Kyle Smith, Tim Gribble and the rest of the scouting department.Personally, I’m excited to see this young man on the field in burgundy and gold during the pre-season!But my opinion is being shaped by a guy I don’t know and I’m not convinced I can trust.I’m very interested in the opinion of Jason FitzGerald, who regularly gives us his take on the Redskins UDFAs.I wonder if he’ll be as gushingly positive about this undrafted free agent as R.C. Fischer is.James FitzGerald (@GMDfitz7765) is a former college player, high school coach, and an avid college football fan who has spent hours in the film room watching opponents and his own teams. His analytical skill adds depth to these profiles that I can’t supply on my own.Let’s see what he has to say.Fitz’s film reviewFilm Watched: Kansas vs. WVU, Kansas vs. Oklahoma StateSteven Sims Jr. is strong for his for his size. With the ball in his hands against Oklahoma State he was able to stiff-arm a defender to gain a few extra yards; he also broke a few tackles to turn a stop on third down into a first down.Sims is also a strong blocker. Kansas’s offense was based around the running back, and Steven Sims played his role well. If he wants to make the Redskins team, he is going to have to show off his blocking ability in camp.He has a very high motor. Sims is always going the extra mile to make a block down field or to salvage a few positive yards on a sniffed out screen. This former Jayhawk is an explosive player with a high acceleration level. He is not particularly fast, but he builds up speed quickly to gain yards after the catch.Sims also finds space to run. He takes good angles that make the defense miss. Sims’ downside is mostly related to his diminutive stature.Sims is a bit under 5’9. He is not tall for an NFL wide receiver, although there have been players his size that have had success. Because of his size, he, at times, got lost in coverage on the field; when the QB threw it his way, he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. Also, his route tree is limited and he was used mostly on screen plays. That may not be his fault, however. The Kansas offense was mostly based on the running back (look out for Pooka Williams BTW). Sims also had three different QBs throwing to him throughout the season, so put asterisk on this weakness. How would he fit with the Redskins? Steven Sims Jr. has to be a part of special teams to make the regular season roster. He was not the main punt or kick returner on film at Kansas, but he did return a few. Sims has the ability to make the 53-man roster, but the Redskins have a few people that already have his skill set.To avoid getting cut or ending up on the practice squad, he will have to beat out our current return men for that spot, and he has a shot at doing that if he can shine in preseason. In comparing him to T.J. wide receiver, who is roughtly the same size, with a similar skill set, Sims, in my opinion, has a better chance to make the team. So, James FitzGerald’s view of Steven Sims, while generally positive, is not the gushing praise given by College Football Metrics, who may have had an interest in pumping up the prospect.Looking at the Washington draft, and, now, two small, speedy UDFA receivers, I get the distinct feeling that the mission this off-season was to get faster as a team.I doubt whether Sims can win a roster spot on his receiving skills alone, but he may have the opportunity to secure a roster spot primarily as the specialist return man, and slot in as the 6th receiver on the depth chart.To do that, he will have to show incredible explosiveness as a returner in preseason but it will be interesting to see how well the skills of this largely unheralded player translate to the NFL field.
