- Thread starter Alec Crouthamel
- Start date
Cardinals are having themselves a helluva draft.
Congratulations Max and family. Very excited to see him play on the big stage.
Thanks for all your contributions on the banks.

Wow, Nick Saban could not have been more kind about his compliments on Max.
Not bad for a guy selected honorable mention by the BIG coaches and media.
he was maybe the best paintball player we ever had
I am hoping we will be watching Bo and Max for many years to come. Congrats Max. Now go and show what Jersey is all about!
Guys on NFL Network talked him up well. As well as Rutgers and Schiano
Something like “you gotta be tough to play at Rutgers. Tough secondary always” and cited some former guys. Best of luck to Max in the desert!

First and foremost, congrats to Max joining his brother in the NFL. Second, this guy above sounds too douchey..."what's up Max?", "Come and see me Max!"? Guy likes to hear himself too much. STFU.
Honorable mention B1G = 2nd round? Typical bias against RU in B1G…
Melton did not have a great season last year. He built his draft status on his Senior Bowl week and his performance at the combine.
Max Melton 7th CB taken in the draft.
Second BIG taken behind the kid from Iowa.
You might have a point.
Just glad we can have the conversation.
BIG membership keeps us relevant.
I’m exited for the future. The future dtaft picks we might have in the program already, and the ones who are destined to play here in years to come. Not to mention the free agents, they do a pretty good job of finding a home too!
Schiano and company have the formula.
Talent and hard work pretty much covers it.
Congratulations Max! You earned it!
Great to see Max succeed. Thanks for the great career on the Banks.
Just curious about what the two posters who wanted him thrown off the team freshman year say now?

Thought he was playing injured in the first six games?
NFL Overview
"Versatile inside/outside cornerback who displayed improvement every year at Rutgers."
Keep in mind RU has been at bottom of FBS for sacks and that has a direct impact on CB play.
He had one more INT (3) in 2023 and doubled TFLs (4).
Less defensive plays since RU had a running game (less 3 and outs)
Drafted as a junior

I sort of agree and disagree. Max had a great post season showing at the Sr Bowl and combine. More than anything, may have moved him up a round or two.
His season- deceptively good. He was on an island so often and teams stayed away. To the normal fan, we saw him burnt more than the previous year but that is why. His individual play showed his NFL potential and made everyone else better.
I've never believed all the coaches and media involved actually see a lot of games and so they go with what they think is safe. I mean a coach is in a game with his team on Sat and coaches poll is out the next day. Who saw what exactly?I don't think issue is so much an anti-Rutgers thing.
No worries- we have posters who think he had a bad year…
Hot take (don’t write this down…..unless it comes true): Arizona is going to win the NFC West
The paintball suspension. I don’t think Gary was happy with the decision
What would you have proposed?
You talkin' to me? I never said he had a bad year. I said he didn't have a great year. Which I stand by.
Obviously he had a good enough year to get invited to the Senior Bowl, which is a noteworthy achievement.
