Here are some lovely words people have said about my upcoming book, which will now be released on 13 May. There will also be two launch events at Metrocola Liverpool on 16 May and The Gun, Hackney on 29 May. Both hosted by @Knox_Harrington. Link in bio to reserve a place.

Those are some lazy fucking scouts
Those are some lazy fucking scouts
Unbelievable value for the Niners. Malik Mustafa is the best tackling safety in this class. Is technically sound and can bring the thunder. Can align anywhere: box, overhang, half field, whatever you like. Can be an impact piece from day one
Khyree Jackson is an awesome pick up for the Vikings. The ideal bump-and-run, Brian Flores corner. Can move inside to body up tight ends. A++ value and scheme fit
The Panthers building an all YAC offense around Bryce Young with a thumping interior
Day two picks I love: ⁃Everything the Packers did ⁃Everything the Commies did ⁃Ennis Rakestraw, Lions ⁃Ja’Lynn Polk, Patriots ⁃Andru Phillips, Giants ⁃Michael Hall, Browns ⁃Delmar Glaze, Raiders ⁃Zach Frazier, Steelers ⁃Marshawn Kneeland, Cowboys
Ty’Ron Hopper as a dime ‘backer/three safety guy is a nice pickup for the Packers. Thumper in the box. Explosive laterally. Fluid on the turn to match things vertically. You can use him in creative ways
Steelers might now have the most talented pulling line in the league: stone-cold killers to pin down; crazy athletes to pull into space. Should be an all-five-pull offense… but, you, know Arthur Smith (40% mid zone)
Love me some Sainristill. Top of the My Guy, You-Need-These-Guys-To-Win-In-The-Playoffs standings. Commies crushing Day Two
