Not a bad camp for the Generals except that science guy. Bill Nye dropped 25 points by my weights, the biggest loser in the league. I brokedown everyone's progress based on my weights and it wasn't pretty for most teams.

We only had 10 teams with positive camps, Washington had no picks so 21 teams had a net negative camp.

Pittsburgh and Houston had the best camps, both gaining 17 points with their 4 rookies. Houston was aided by RDE Steve Walker's +14, the biggest boom I saw. Pittsburgh got their +17 by having all 4 rookies boom (+6, +5, +5, +1).

Worst draft was Birmingham, who saw 5 of 6 players lose overall ratings points including a pair of -13's and a -24. In total, Birmingham had 6 rookies whose overall fell a combined 54 points. Next were 5 teams who lost between 31 and 37 points, although the New York Stars did have a QB boom. 3rd round pick Damien Oleary gained 6 points and will eventually have 100 accuracy.

Overall, there were 237 rookies on rosters as of now, and collectively they lost 257 points.

Realistically we had 2 players who camp mattered for. Unfortunately the quarterback won't make it but the 4th round reciever made positive strides.

Pleasant surprise was a 100 vol DT booming for +9. Disappointed our kicker busted. He will be a bandaid for now

Possibly the worst camp I ever had.

1.8 LB Alexander -5
1.26 C Fincher -21
2.8 LG Taylor -16
3.1 LB Hatfield -14
3.6 LB Heflin +/- 0
4.8 DT Long +/- 0

Very discouraging.

Man, I thought our camp was rough - but find out that 5 teams fared worse. Brutal.

Cheers for doing this Greg you go above and beyond as commish and these blogs and articles are big reason USFL is my fav league despite no success on field :)
