The Hunt Report: Meet the 400
The Hunt Report: Meet the 400-yard rusher, plus more standouts as small-college football gets into full swing
You probably don't know these prospects, but NFL scouts sure do
By Emory Hunt • 3 min readThere's no downside to more tape.
This has been one of my major talking points when I speak with potential draft prospects who may not start their professional careers in the NFL. While it may seem obvious to some, many players don't always see it that way for a variety of reasons.
One guy who did, and does, is QB D'Angelo Fulford of the Hamburg Sea Devils in the European Football League. I first met Fulford in January 2020 at the College Gridiron Showcase postseason all-star game in Fort Worth, Texas. He was a record-breaking star QB from Division III power Mount Union, and he used that all-star week to showcase his skills and the ability to level up vs. Power 5 and FCS competition.
Well, we all know what ended up happening a month or so later in 2020... the Covid-19 pandemic. That changed everything in the world and for a lot of the potential pro prospects that year.
For Fulford, it was just the beginning of his winding road of a football journey that has taken him from Alliance, Ohio, to Hamburg, Germany.
