Jumped on with @Bo_Wulf and @EJSmith94 today to talk through what I saw in yesterday's Senior Bowl practices

A couple of LBs with very different skillsets jumped out

Here's why #H2P Kyle Louis and #ForksUp Keyshaun Elliott can stick in the NFL

Love this route from #GigEm TE Nate Boerkircher

Widens, pushes vertical and snaps it off at the top - open for catch in MOF

YouTube video by PHLY Sports Eagles Senior Bowl preview: Which NFL Draft prospects on offense could land in Philly?

Broke down Iheanachor and a handful of the other top offensive players here in Mobile with @bowulf.bsky.social and @ej-smith.bsky.social

One player that I'm excited to see this week down in Mobile? #ForksUp T Max Iheanachor

Here's why...

Putting together an All-Shrine Bowl team for the ALL NFL Draft Newsletter this week

One guy who will be on it? #Wyoming OL Caden Barnett

This weekend was my first exposure to him, and I thought he put three good practices together at the Shrine Bowl

I think all three NFC East teams that changed DCs this offseason made big upgrades

A special ALL NFL Draft Newsletter went out this afternoon!

Check out my full Senior Bowl preview with top prospects to know, who I expect to shine in practice and more!

PLUS my discussion with Senior Bowl Director Drew Fabianich on the podcast!

After going thru all of my film and notes from the week, I feel good with this statement

The best player here at the @ShrineBowl that I hadn't studied before coming down here?

#GeauxCajuns LB Jaden Dugger

Rare length, functional athleticism; made plays going forward & back 👇

Seems to be a decent chance that the #Falcons hire a former #Eagles personnel director as their next GM

No apology necessary! I don’t think that has changed in the last few years. All of that is the same as always

I get it, and I agree with part of what you’re saying. But it’s not like these athletes are going to fewer classes than ever. They still have to be eligible. The line between “student” and “employee” is more blurred than ever but they still must meet the guidelines that have been in place forwver

Yes, they paid players. But the lesson is they paid the RIGHT players

Go look at the battles they won for the best players on their team. Not a bunch of 4- and 5-star guys with dozens of offers. They didn’t “buy a title”

They targeted guys that fit them, coached the hell out of them and went 16-0

No one is saying that they didn’t spend money. You HAVE to spend money.

How many players did they have to outbid other big schools for?

Does not answer the question (or apply to this team, directly, for 2025)

How many of the players that they brought in did they outbid the big schools for?

I guess I shouldn't be, but I'm SHOCKED that so many people out there look at what Indiana did and say 'well anyone can go buy a championship'

Talk about not having any kind of grasp of what we actually watched this season

Remember him doing the same stuff at LSU. Was one of my favorite college corners I've ever studied. Fair to say, one of the best zone CBs in the last decade?

I don't think it's a yes/no thing! As is the case with many things, both sides of the 'argument' can be true, and both sides deserve some blame.

I think some are too quick to say 'oh that coach won't work because of XYZ' when it comes to these discussions about coach/player fit

My point is - coaching matters with a lot of this, as does coachability. It's a two-way street.

Coaches can do things to make the MOF more accessible for the QB & create more trustworthy throws

QBs also must be willing to trust the scheme/players to win

Don't write it off!

He did that while playing in Lincoln Riley's version of the Air Raid. Two years before that, Baker Mayfield had the exact same rate in the same system. The year before, Kyler Murray was at 13.6%, which is above average relative to the rest of the sample

I have a 118-player sample from the last ten drafts classes

In that sample, Jalen Hurts ranks 11th in pct of throws to that area of the field in his last year of college (16.7%), the 90th percentile result

His passer rating of 119.2 on those throws is above 80th percentile

I chart a bunch of metrics at every position for #NFLDraft prospects

One thing I look at every year is how often a QB targeted a receiver between the hashes at a depth of 10-20 yards

This is NOT a predictor of future success, it is more of a descriptor of style of play
