The rookie and the vet. Thanks for being such a great mentor and role model. Can’t thank you enough. Happy 40 years of draft coverage, @MelKiperESPN! 🐐

A lot of split opinions on Proctor right now among scouts across the league that I’ve talked to. Many want to see him use his frame and play to his potential more often this upcoming season. Massive OT prospect at 6'7", 366.
“I want to be a mauler and put guys’ butts on their backs.” — Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor, all 6-7 and 366 pounds of him.
Agree. Tyson is a savvy route runner with good play strength in his route stems. Among one of the top names of the 2026 WR group.
My early favorite is easily Jordyn Tyson, but there are some silly athletes out there who could make a big leap.
We’re in for a fun race with the 2026 WR class. No clear top option, a lot of projection and very similar grades on the draft board entering the year.
Panthers fans, get familiar with the name.

Josh Simmons, who suffered a torn patellar tendon last October, is already back and taking 1st team reps at LT. If fully healthy, there were some scouts that thought he would’ve been the first tackle off of the board. Would be a massive development for the Chiefs.
Here’s the offensive line for the 1st group rep — Josh Simmons, Kingsley Suamataia, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith & Jaylon Moore. Remember, today’s practice is for season ticket members.
NFL training camp is finally here. All 32 teams are ready to start their journeys to Super Bowl LX after an offseason of roster turnover and coaching musical chairs 👀 NFL Nation on what's ahead this season ⬇️ spr.ly/6012fH3hI
* Where Drew Allar (and his WRs) need to improve * If Ty Simpson's good, Bama's got everything * Coords + QB + lines = a big Ohio State reload * If Arch is as good as we think... * So many new starting QBs, new WRs and OL/DL overhauls! THE 2025 IFS LIST: espn.com/college-footba…
Thinking of legendary ESPN anchor Stuart Scott, who would've turned 60 today. Stu's legacy endures in so many ways, including thru the @TheVFoundation's memorial cancer research fund that bears his name: bit.ly/3IBbDwg
Here's the 2025 All-SEC First Team Offense and Defense. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier is second-team at QB and Texas' Arch Manning is on the third-team.
Very much so. Advanced footwork and lower body mechanics, flexible arm, high football smarts/IQ, accurately anticipates to spots, and he doesn’t take sacks. Needs to cut out the inopportune turnovers and LSU has to improve their run game this year. It was really bad in 2024.
Nuss is polished..?
Who will go No. 1 overall in next year's NFL draft? 👀 @Jordan_Reid shares his way-too-early prospects who have a chance of being on top of the board ⤵️ spr.ly/60144ht70
All-22 film of Cam at Auburn.
What's the best superhero film of all time?
Only 280 days until the 2026 NFL draft. (not like I’m counting or anything)
Going to be a fun 9 mo
A lot of hype out there right now for Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza. Go look at the track record for transfer QBs under Curt Cignetti. Even going back to his days at JMU, QBs take a massive leap under him. He’s another that has a chance to thrive in that system this season.
Not at all, but he was way too inconsistent last year. What I’m interested to see is how Miami alters their offense to cater to Beck. He’s completely different from Ward stylistically.
So I guess Carson Beck done fell way off the radar for you huh ?
There’s not a QB in the country that’s better set up for success this season than Cade Klubnik at Clemson. His top 3 WRs return and four starters are back on the OL. For those that have not studied him, he’s a much different QB than what he was in his first year as a starter.
Execs, coaches, scouts rank top 10 corners: *'Complete package' Surtain nearly 90% of 1st-place votes. *Gardner most polarizing. Did he get 'too much, too soon?' *Gonzalez closest thing to Surtain *Ramsey had a great run *Mitchell strong debut espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
