Here for the Jalen Royals ascension
Chiefs rookie WR Jalen Royals has had one of the best days out here today. Included an impressive back-shoulder sideline catch on pass from Mahomes. More on what Andy Reid has seen from Royals as he continues to sub in with 1s: kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kan…
Regular reminder: Take care of your mental health, even in the little ways! Get off social media for a bit, don’t train your brain to scroll and over-consume. Go outside, meditate, create something. Let yourself and your mind breathe.
There’s a perception that offensive linemen have hands loaded with violence and hearts filled with hate. Then there’s @ULM_FB’s Elijah Fisher (@elijahfisher95), who challenges every perception with love and leadership. My latest for @PFSN365: profootballnetwork.com/cfb/exclusive-…
Offenses, whatever you do, don't run at Keldric Faulk with outside zone.
Auburn CB (#4) Kayin Lee has really impressed me while watching Keldric Faulk. A little light at 5'11", 180, but he's disciplined and quick-to-react in press, with snappy reactive athleticism, oily hips, and high-end vertical speed. LOVE his late adjustment for the PBU here.
If I could boil down Keldric Faulk's biggest areas for improvement as a rusher: - Inconsistent leg drive and sync w/ power - Delays between counters and recalibrations But the flashes are *nice*. He won't have this much time often, but this long-arm + outside-chop combo plays.
TJ Parker, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention This is a menacing power rush against a potential NFL prospect in McKale Boley
Keldric Faulk still has a lot of room to further refine his game, but man, the canvas of tools to work with can't be matched. Look how he runs down Brock Vandagriff in the flats here. Insane closing speed at a listed 6'6", 285 pounds. And his motor is unhinged.
Watching Auburn's defense, but had to spotlight this play by Dane Key (WR #6) Body control, late hands, hand-eye coordination with tight coverage -- tons to like here Won't be a WR1 candidate but I think he'll be a solid pro for a long time. Playing at Nebraska this year.
If it's a non-QB team picking first, Peter Woods If it's a QB-needy team, Cade Klubnik or Fernando Mendoza -- right now
Who's going No. 1 in your mock draft?
Rueben Bain Jr. broke onto the scene with 7.5 sacks, 13 TFLs, and 3 FFs as a true freshman. Less productive last year, but was nursing a calf injury. Elite power, strength, leverage game -- and the flashes of torso and ankle flexibility, like the one below, are super compelling.
Nothing major, just 315-pound Peter Woods running the arc from wide 9, beating his man with a stab-chop-rip combo and forcing an incompletion. I'm a little late to the party here, but dude is 1A. I don't think there's anyone better in the 2026 NFL Draft right now.
My god Peter Woods - Instantly senses the down block - Levies a lightning-quick swim move - Follows the pullers and makes the TFL
Peter Woods (aligned versus the left-side TE on this play) doing this at 315 pounds is absurd
“I’m a football player, but I’m more than that” From tackling food insecurity to giving back at a regional hospital, @PackFootball’s Brandon Cleveland (@brandonvibes25) sat down with @PFSN365 to talk about his journey of servitude as a student athlete. profootballnetwork.com/cfb/exclusive-…
Three 2024 rookie WRs *already* in @PFSN365's NFL Top 100. My comp for Brian Thomas Jr. was Javon Walker, but even I didn't expect him to break out as a true WR1 this early. Ladd McConkey = certified stud. And it's insane how well Malik Nabers produced with such poor QB play.
81-90 on our PFSN NFL Top 100
So here's what I got so far for Caleb Lomu and Spencer Fano. They're very, VERY close. Lomu is the more advanced pass protector imo, with elite flexibility as a failsafe. Fano is the more powerful run blocker, with tons of untapped potential still to achieve in pass pro.


Who grades higher for you between the Utah tackles Caleb Lomu and Spencer Fano? I’m close to locking in my preseason grade for both and have a good idea how I feel, but I want to see what the community thinks. Think we can all agree on this: Utes have quite the duo.
Nothing major, just 330+ pound nose tackle Domonique Orange sniffing out a screen and making the tackle
Love this rep of Caleb Lomu and Spencer Fano. You can see Lomu's incredible flexibility and controlled lean in action. His leverage game is so composed. Meanwhile, Fano shows off his lateral range & hinge fluidity on the stunt pickup (Domonique Orange still drives him back tho)
