== 2014 NFL Draft- James Morris, LB, Iowa Hawkeyes Player Profi ==

2014 NFL Draft: James Morris,[http://soliloquy.piazza-nero.com/archives/2011/01/feedburner-twitter.php#comments NFL, players adjusting to mandatory knee, thigh pa], LB,[http://spassbremse.de/wiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Fgavfaygp2 Former Brother Martin standout ready to make NFL dream come], Iowa Hawkeyes Player Profile<br>September 22, 2012; Iowa City, IA, USA; Central Michigan Chippewas quarterback Ryan Radcliff (8) stumbles while running the ball as Iowa Hawkeyes linebacker James Morris (44) defends in the second half at Kinnick Stadium. Central Michigan won the game 32-31. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports<br>Height: 6 1 <br>Weight: 240 pounds<br>Drafted By:<br>40 Yard Dash:<br>Bench Press:<br>Vertical Jump:<br>Broad Jump:<br>Scouting Report/Player Notes<br>If Morris tests pretty well at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, he should have no problem being one of the top inside linebackers selected. He is a very good student-athlete with a great work ethic who has gotten bigger and better as a four-year starter at Iowa. Morris has been a leader on the Hawkeye defense ever since he stepped into a starting role as a freshman, and despite being nicked up a couple of times, he has been a really durable player for Kirk Ferentz.<br>Iowa has had a really good recent history of producing productive collegiate linebackers, and some have done really well at the NFL level. Specifically, Chad Greenway and Pat Angerer have proven to be really productive players, despite the difference in draft position.<br>I think Morris has the ability to be a starter at the next level. Depending on how his measurables turn out, I think he definitely appears to have the range and speed to play inside in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme. He is the type of tough, smart playmaker that defenses like,[http://e-joyfull.com/2011/12/oa.html#comments The Most Important Faces of 2013 NFL Training Camp], and if nothing else, I think he could crack a roster coming out of Iowa as a special teams player. He seems like the kind of guy who will work as hard as possible on the film room and on the practice field to make not only himself but his team better.<br>Morris flies to the ball and has really good instincts and anticipation for the play. There are times when Morris struggles to disengage when linemen get out to his level, but for the most part, I think he has the ability to be an effective starting linebacker at the next level.<br>2012 Notes<br>Morris is a blue-collar, hard-nosed, tough-as-nails inside linebacker prospect who has the look of a future NFL starter, and a reliable one at that. He is rangy and has great leadership skills,[http://syokakuji.info/blog/post-4/#comments 10 reasons I love NFL training camp], and though he came into the Hawkeye football program as a 215 pound pup, he has emerged as one of the team’s top tacklers and grown into a 230 pound beast. Morris is a tackling machine who is always flying to the ball, and he’s been productive ever since his freshman season. He had 70 tackles as a freshman, 109 tackles as a sophomore, and as a junior, he’s looking to break the 100 tackle mark yet again with 96 through 10 games. The former running back is a little tight in the hips in coverage, and he’s not an elite athlete like the other LBs on Iowa’s roster, but he’s going to make tackles and make plays for your defense,[http://50.6.8.56/index.php/3-suggestion-box/63514-dimitri-patterson-don-t-sleep-on-browns#63514 Dimitri Patterson- Don't sleep on Browns], and he’s a guy you’ll want to have on your team, undoubtedly.<br>Stats<br><br>Video Highlights (via YouTube)<br>Career Highlights (via Iowa athletics)<br>Hawk-Item - Ranked third in the Big Ten and tied for 31st nationally in tackles per game (9.4) . . . with 12 tackles in second game of 2012 season, became 66th Hawkeye to register at least 200 career tackles . . . ranks 16th in career tackles with 293 . . . ranked fifth in the Big Ten and tied for 37th nationally in tackles per game (9.2) in 2011 . . . one of four juniors named to 2012 Leadership Group . . . one of four sophomores named to 2011 Leadership Group . . . one of nine true freshmen to see action in 2010.<br>2013 Preseason Honors - Named to Lott Impact Watch List . . . 2013 - listed as first team linebacker following spring practice.<br>2012 Honors - Permanent Team Captain, defense . . .

Riley Cooper Makes Racist Comment At Kenny Chesney Concert: Report (VIDEO)<br>Words don’t offend. The thoughts conveyed by their utterance offend. The N-word,[http://www.autobugfix.com/2010/08/perl-module-of-the-day-1.html#comments SANTA CLARA, Calif.- Willis, Culliver among those], while not being the most elegant of words, is often uttered to convey positive or harmless thoughts. It is also uttered to convey mean-spirited white supremacists/white privilege racists thoughts. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to tell the difference. Its not the word, it’s the racists thoughts conveyed; and you know the thoughts are racists by the manner in which it is uttered. What we should be attacking is white supremacist/white privilege racism. Period. We know what thoughts Riley Cooper was conveying by the way in which he uttered the word. His thoughts were: “the whole group of people with melanin abundant skin descended from slaves in America, yeah, that group,[http://heatherwood.co/wiki/User:Pwiaxlwgo5#Indianapolis_Colts.27_Weslye_Saunders_draws_8 Indianapolis Colts' Weslye Saunders draws 8], are worthy of no respect whatsoever.” I, as one of those melanin abundant people, heard racists Riley’s message loud and clear. A total prohibition of the words utterance is absurd, because nowadays Americans of all cultures,[http://www.cholesterol-health.net/cholesterol-post024.html#comments New Zealand Mormon chasing NFL dream with Philadel], all cultures,[http://www.toroming.com/blog/2013/01/post-79.html#comments Christians in Communications Feature Former NFL Pl], use the N-word to convey positive or harmless thoughts in their private conversations. Those of you who use it in this way know what I mean. Again, its not the most elegant word, but its not the word that is demonic, it’s the white supremacist/white privilege attitude of white racists like Riley Cooper,[http://linkids.net/blog/2013/06/post-38.html#comments Has The Running Back Position Become Devalued In N], which are conveyed by its use that is demonic.

(Getty Images)<br>After resurrecting his career, nearly setting a new single-season rushing record, winning MVP, and leading an otherwise moribund team to the playoffs,  enters 2013 as one of the most fascinating figures in a generally by-the-numbers NFL.
