The reason Vaccaro looks like Earl Thomas is because they came from the same system in college. He is a little bigger so he is more "physical". I see both players being the same as Michael Huff from the Oakland Raiders who also played for Texas.

And both play FS while also sliding over to NCB and have very similar skill sets in terms of coverage. Playing at Texas helps but they do have a lot in common in skill sets also.

Manti Te'O = Rey Maulaluga.

Oh wait, that's just what Bengal fans think because they're both Samoan.

They actually remind me of each other because they both have a tendency to over-pursue plays and also allowing themselves to be taken out of the play by blockers. Te'o seems a little better in coverage than Rey but I don't want another player with the same deficiencies as Rey.

Gillislee to Charles isn't just about speed. I, along with others see Gillislee as a bit slower Charles. I compare the 2 with overall styles.

The nfl.com combine participant list has an analysis for many of the players, and probably is still a work in progress since the list is so large. For each complete analysis, there is a "compares to".
