Nick Samac Drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, 7th Round, No.228 overall!
Nick Samac goes No.228 overall in the 7th Round to the Baltimore Ravens
My Scouting Report on Samac:
NICK SAMAC (Center)
POSITIVES: Nick has good size at 6'4, 307 pounds, and runs more than an adequate 5.1 40-yard dash for his size. It is vital to control the center box as a center to run or pass effectively, and he did that quite well when healthy. Samac can fire out and move people, giving him a chance to stick in the NFL. He was a preseason Riminigton Trophy Preseason watch and a five-year letter winner with 2,427 overall snaps.
NEEDS TO IMPROVE: He has to show he has fully recovered from a leg injury sustained in the Indiana game, where he got rolled up from behind. If he can do that, he might be MSU's best potential NFL player this cycle.
