NFL Comparisons

Calvin: Wes Welker
A very shifty slot receiver who excels with the ball in his hands. Calvin will consistently be a league leader in YAC, and he has a knack for the end zone.

Mike: Nnamdi Asomugha
A pure cover corner that you can drop into single coverage. Allows great flexibility for any defense.

Mitch: Patrick Willis
A monster linebacker who’s strength is pass rushing coming off the end. Is also valuable as a decoy in blitz packages because he can drop into pass coverage extremely effectively.

Jesse: Maurice Jones-Drew
A lightning quick back with surprising strength. Loves to makes catches coming out of the backfield.

Quinn: Calvin Johnson
A lengthy wideout with great speed down the flanks. Always a deep-ball threat.

Brenny: Jared Allen
One of the few defensive linemen who truly excel at both pass rushing and run stuffing. Almost always requires a double team.

Trubow: Antonio Gates
Hands like glue make him the first choice target in short field situations. Can explode downfield for big gains.

Sam: Brian Urlacher
An elite run stopper who also has the speed to cover opponent’s slot receivers.

Tom: Jay Cutler
With a cannon on his right shoulder, Tom loves to throw the deep ball. Also has pinpoint accuracy when given time in the pocket.

Farina: Ed Reed
The ultimate ball-hawk with a nose for timely turnovers. Exceptional field vision and tackling.

Jamie: Champ Bailey
Opposing quarterbacks don’t throw to Jamie’s side of the field too often. Prefers to jab receivers right off the line of scrimmage.

Dave Robb: Randy Moss
Effortlessly glides down the field with his long strides. Has the ability to go up and catch just about anything.
