Confident that he can easily pack another 25 or 30 Ibs. onto his lean frame, scouts predict the "Stork" will continue to "worry hell out of a backfield" with his long-arm way of deflecting passes, and snagging ballcarriers from behind. Stanfill is a relentless de fender who specializes in flattening quarterbacks. Nothing fancy about him, say the scouts, "just a big strong boy who gets to the ballcarrier...
