Hero Sports on DOM BRAGALONE and the NFL

Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

Hero Sports on DOM BRAGALONE and the NFL

Post by LU808 » Mon Feb 25, 2019 10:34 pm

DOM BRAGALONE, LEHIGH RB
Bragalone hasn't had much NFL attention on him yet. But if he gets a shot, he can turn into that next "small-school" success story. His senior season wasn't as dominant as past years (757 yards and seven touchdowns). As a sophomore and junior, Bragalone combined for 2,559 yards and 32 touchdowns.

At 5-foot-11 and 230 pounds, he's a tough runner that could also help a team at the fullback position in some packages. The talent is there. But lack of film against FBS opponents might make scouts hesitant.

Several players have told me that Dom is bench pressing 225 32 Xs and has his goal set at 35 reps by his Pro Day which I believe is near the end of March.

I just looked at the results of the NFL combine. Only 11 total players managed 30 repetitions or more. * of them were linemen, 2 LBs and 1 RB (Alex Barnes, Kansas St.) who did 34.

For the record, the best performance this year was Weber St 6-4, 301# OL, Iosua Opeta who did 39 reps.

Dom wasn't invited to the official NFL Combine. He will get his chance at a pro day near the end of this month or so I'm told. :-)

No numbers posted to validate Dom's performance in KC but it sounds like he is on the right path.

BARRY BARNES MARCH 11, 20190 @LOCKERREPORT


Nevertheless, among the draftable players mentioned, Lehigh running back Dominick Bragalone can suit up and play for any NFL team – right now.

If Bragalone goes undrafted, all the scouts from the 27 NFL clubs that were at the RCI in person may be looking over their shoulder for their very jobs.

Bragalone possesses the combination of speed, power, strength, quickness and discipline. When Bragalone stepped up for his 40-yard dash, the first thing noticeable was how his muscles bulked out his uniform. His appearance made him look slow due to his physique.

But when Bragalone took off from stance in the 40-yard Dash, the best whay to describe it – “whoa.”

Bragalone ripped into his 40-yard Dash and was flat out brilliant throughout his session. His plant-and-go was clean as he showed control and balance. Like Walter, Bragalone’s demonstrated masterful route running skills , but his catching ability places high on an elite level especially in a Flare Route, for a screen, and the Wheel route.

For one play in particular when he ran a Wheel route and the ball appeared to be getting away from him, Bragalone sprinted up the sideline and caught the pass effortlessly. He can either go around a player or simply run through them as he has great pad level.

“When I was at Princeton, and when we played them (Lehigh), we could not stop him (Bragalone). No one really could,” said a former Princeton football coach who attended the RCI.

Bragalone is NFL ready, now.



Brad Mayes of Lehigh did not pass the ball much, especially with Bragalone in the backfield. Mayes is a rhythm thrower and he does not start off on fire. After he got through his warmups and the Pocket Movement Drill, Mayes got comfortable and started sling the rock. He was sharp in his Five and Seven Drop Throw Drills and killed Seven Step Roll Out Drills.

If this assessment is accurate this confirms what so many Lehigh fans have seen in person, on the field, since his freshman year. Dom is special. Now we'll see if the old cliche is true: "If you're that good, they will find you."
