Phrases to describe draft prospects

I saw this on espn and just had to share it.

Phrases

My personal Favorite is:

Wood hauler's butt: Usually refers to an offensive lineman who has no appreciable rear end. When you arch your back while carrying firewood, this is the result. Example: "Cowboys right tackle Marc Colombo has a wood hauler's butt, but still deserves to be treated like a human being."

I like this one ...

Flatten the corner: The ability of a pass-rusher to lower his inside shoulder and bend his knees while turning the corner on a blocker who's leaning on him. Example: "Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware knows how to flatten the corner against offensive tackles and also finds time to buy every shirt that Lacoste makes."

it wasn't on the list, but my personal favorite is "upside".

You can pretty much take any draft prospect, and sum them up saying "they have great (hands, mechanics, footwork, vision) and Upside, but they lack (speed, strength, agility, mechanics).

Basically, you can say any prospect has upside. It may be true, but the word is still dumb.
