Feldman's 2024 "Freak's" List (Reference for 2025 Draft)

Here are the players that Kwesi either drafted or signed as an UDFA from a prior "Freaks List":

LB Brian Asamoah (#86 on the 2021 "Freaks List") - drafted in Rd 3 in 2022
OLB/EDGE Andre Carter II (#13 on the 2022 "Freaks List") - UDFA after the 2023 Draft
RB DeWayne McBride (#93 on the 2022 "Freaks List") - drafted in Rd 7 in 2023

Given the lack of athleticism we see from McBride in the NFL so far, I'm surprised he made the list in 2022. Here's what Feldman had to say about him at that time:
We're just not seeing that combination of power/speed from McBride so far as he looks slower than dirt and hasn't really "popped" any long runs from 3rd/4th stringers in preseason games.

It's important to note that Feldman compiles this list based on "workout" information coming from schools, coaches, teammates, parents, NFL scouts, combine trainers and agents; what his list isn't is a list of the top Draft prospects for the following year. Just because a player's name appears on the list doesn't exactly mean they are an extrordinary football player and a top Draft prospect - but what it does mean is that they are very athletic compared to their peers in some form, whether that athleticism is speed, power or agility. If anything, the list is a sneak preview of the players that should test well at the Combine/Pro Days during the next Draft cycle. 

I mainly use it for the Day 2/Day 3 players when comparing similar players at one position. For instance, let's say the Vikings have the 10th overall pick in the 2025 Draft and all signs point to them targeting a DT with that first Rd selection; chances are that I won't look at this list for what DT's I like better than others and the tape will tell the majority of the story, along with body size/arm length (not a fan of short arms for a DT, which Ohio St's Tyleik Williams has). If we end up getting a 3rd Rd comp pick for Cousins signing with Atlanta and I think we should use that pick for an IOL prospect, then I will probably consult this list as part of the pre-Draft evaluation prior to the Combine/Pro Day. Athletic testing #'s - whether they come from the Combine, Pro Day or Feldman's annual "Freaks List" - don't tell the entire story of a prospect and the tape, background, interview, and how well they perform at the pre-Draft All-Star games are more important evaluations than athleticism, but it is a piece and this list is just posted here for reference purposes only. I often go back and look at my notes during the weekly College threads, along with the list of breakout players from the pre-Draft All-Star games (Shrine, Senior Bowl, etc.) to see which prospects I might like more than other. 

The other thing this list provides is just to start knowing the prospects for the next Draft cycle, especially those at lesser-known schools. For example, many fans probably have no idea who East Carolina CB Shavon Revel, Jr. is, but if you peruse through this list and possibly read some of Feldman's mini-bio, you might recognize the name come 2025. Here's what Felman had to say about him (#35 on his 2024 "Freaks List"):
