Continuing our look back at the 2018 rookie class, we turn our attention to Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards. Edwards was far from a household name heading into the season, but he ended it as the lead back on one of the NFL’s most run-heavy offenses. We’ll take a look back at the positives, and negatives, of Edwards’ first year in the NFL. We’ll also look…...

Continuing our look back at the 2018 rookie class, we turn our attention to Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb. Baker Mayfield stole most of the headlines and earned much of the acclaim for the Browns 2018 resurgence. But Chubb’s contributions should not be ignored…....

Continuing our look back at the 2018 rookie class, it is time to look back on the performances of one of the most surprising first-year stars of the last football season. Namely, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay…....

With the 2018 NFL regular season now in the rearview mirror, it is time to look back on the performances of some of the players finishing their first season in the pros. Next up is running back Kerryon Johnson of the Detroit Lions…....

With the 2018 NFL regular season now in the rearview mirror, it is time to look back on the performances of some of the players finishing their first season in the pros. Next player on our radar is the player who was taken with the second overall selection by the New York Giants last April, namely Saquon Barkley…....

For a college to produce one stud tight end prospect, it may seem to be fortunate. For it to produce two, well that seems like excellence. But that is precisely what Iowa seem to have managed in 2018. Not content with sending Noah Fant to the NFL draft after his productive career with the Hawkeyes, they are also giving us T.J. Hockenson. Iowa, with this…...

When NFL coaches can get their hands on college players at the upcoming Senior Bowl, one of the prospects who will generate the most intrigue will be Notre Dame tight end Alize Mack. In terms of raw counting stats, Mack was not exactly dominant at South Bend, nor was he always a model student-athlete. But there is certainly a lot about him that the scouts will…...

Some colleges seem to have a knack for producing players at a certain position. Georgia seems able to keep churning out productive running backs, like Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb. USC has sent a fair number of quarterbacks into the NFL (with varying levels of success). Carson Palmer, Mark Sanchez, and Matt Leinart were all drafted in the first round. Stanford, it seems, has got…...

There are always prospects who, after perhaps not putting up huge numbers during their college careers, suddenly begin attracting attention during the pre-draft process thanks to athletic gifts they were not able to adequately showcase in school. One such player in 2019 could be Ole Miss tight end, Dawson Knox…....

The recent trend of college players declining to participate in bowl games to better prepare for the NFL Draft shows little sign of stopping anytime soon. One of the biggest names to opt for this approach from the 2018 season was Iowa tight end Noah Fant. Fant declared in late November that he had played his last game for the Hawkeyes, “missing out” on a chance…...

The No. 5 ranked Georgia Bulldogs take on the No. 15 ranked Texas Longhorns in the 85th Sugar Bowl to open 2019, something of a consolation for Georgia after losing to Alabama in the SEC Conference title game a few weeks ago. One of the players I will be keeping an eye is Bulldogs tight end Isaac Nauta, who’ll wear 18. He’s not a surefire lock to…...

The 2018 Orange Bowl, one of the two College Football playoffs, sees the No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide locking horns with the No. 4 ranked Oklahoma Sooners. With a plethora of talent on display for both teams, it may be easier to pinpoint players that you should not pay attention to. But one player worthy of special attention is Alabama tight end Irv Smith Jr…....
