Isaac Brown #Louisville #NFLDraft
Where the All-22 doesn't show you just how good Brown is on this run.
The EZ view? Quietly sick.
Brown presses to set up three levels of defenders.
Overall, this RB wins inside because he presses defenders into blockers so well.

- Drops weight/sudden stop
- Re-accelerates into open space

Isaac Brown #NFLDraft #Louisville
Good set up of S into his puller on Counter.
Good position near his down blocks early to set the table for that setup of the S.

Isaac Brown #Louisville high-pointing the corner fade with a Notre Dame LB glued to him at the catch point.
Not bad for a frosh's unveiling on a national stage.

Eight WR values that are stupefying...
Demond Claiborne
- Two-quick footwork at top of stem on circle route.
- Sharp turn at top of stem.
- Nice head fake with two-quick
#Demondeacons #NFLDraft
Many RBs are inefficient movers with jump cuts -- jump-stopping 2-4 yards forward before attempting the lateral cut.
Demond Claiborne doesn't waste that kind of space.

#demondeacons #NFLDraft
Excellent stick to cut downhill and beat the CB's angle before outrunning the S.
What's most notable to me is the maneuverability in tight space preceding that move. Claiborne does something that Nick Chubb is great at.
Demond Claiborne #demondeacons #NFLDraft
Pass Protection
- IDs slot blitz
- Earns position tight to QB
- Gradually works forward
- Square/squat position
- Gets lower than DB,
- Rolls hips through uppercut
- Chest to chest
He can run, too ;)
Makhi Hughes
Nice use of blocks and space off the edge. Understands how to stay tight while selling an outside path.
Determined runner with excellent stiff arm and good contact balance. Attacks defenders and/or reacts with good position.

Loss Mitigation on 2nd and 10. Transforms a likely 3rd and 15 into 3rd and 9.
Excellent stiff arm. Good feel for going where the penetration came from

Arroyo's speed is enticing and he can win those wheel routes and deep crossers off play action where the scheme hides him and gets him free.
You'll see some big plays. Will it be enough for TE1 value? Not likely this year.
I wouldn't go to the moon with Elijah Arroyo's fantasy value this year after the cutting of Noah Fant.
Arroyo will offer similar value as Fant. Neither are man-to-man matchup advantages at this point.
Also, A.J. Barner can block and win in tight windows. He'll be a RZ hurdle
Makhi Hughes #GoDucks #Tulane #2026NFLDraft
Good strike in the passing game against the K St. edge defender.
Positioning can be cleaner, but the uppercut and roll through the hips is what many RBs don't do well.
Jeremiyah Love #NotreDame #2026NFLDraft
- Understands where his 2nd-level blocks will be.
- Presses to set up those blocks.
- Reads DL leverage and slides inside.
- Press also influences third level and creates indirect contact instead of a downhill hit.
TD
Jeremiyah Love #NotreDame #2026NFLDraft
Power is often about timing and placement. Love's stiff arm of the DE is a good example.
We’ll see it goes. Still very early in the research phase.

What does NFL-Caliber Contact Balance Look Like on a College Field?
Bouncing off a glancing shot from a DT in the backfield is a good indicator.
