Reached out to a source in Buffalo on early camp standouts, who had this to say on rookie DB Dorian Strong: “The rapid progression of Dorian [Strong] has been great to see with it being so early… he’s staying late, working his a** off.” Excited to see his progression as the…
Joe Alt makes everything look so easy at 6’8”, 325. Effortless mover & technician.
Away from the obvious names, here a few yr 2 ballplayers I expect to become core, household type names this fall: - Colts ED Laiatu Latu - Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper - Broncos WR DeVaughn Vele - Titans DB Jarvis Brownlee Jr - Lions iOL Christian Mahogany - Giants RB Tyrone Tracy…
It’s with respect to the other guys, but Jayden Daniels made it MORE than work with guys like Olamide Zaccheus & Dyami Brown around McLaurin in his rookie yr. The discourse is all over the place as folks attempt to generate storylines, but if 5 can’t make it work with Deebo…
A few Camp positional battles I’m intrigued to see play out this summer: • Center - Chargers • QB - Browns • WR rotation- Patriots • WR3- Commanders • SAF rotation - Bills • LB - Falcons (Diablo v Andersen) • DB - Raiders • QB & CB2 - Colts • Perimeter CB2 - Broncos •…
Oh these are CLEAN. New threads to be worn SNF v SEA, SNF v DEN & Christmas Day v Dallas.
Weaving past and present We’re adding back the Super Bowl Era threads to our uniform rotation
***Some personal news — my time at The Draft Network has come to an end. While that chapter has closed, I’m grateful for the journey. Moving forward, I am aggressively pursuing any & all opportunities in the NFL/CFB/Draft space, or otherwise. My DMs are open and I am eager to…
• Broncos WR Pat Bryant • Titans WR Elic Ayomanor • Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II • Bills WR Jalen Virgil • Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey Multiple notes on each from highly impressive early offseason work for each pass-catcher. Excited to see the potential roles for each…
I said it during the predraft process & I said it again when he was taken in the 7th in that I fully expect Jacory Croskey-Merritt to earn touches when things count in Washington this fall. Good to hear his minicamp is off to a hot start — the kid can flat out play ball.
• Rams TE Terrance Ferguson • Broncos WR DeVaughn Vele • Lions DB Ennis Rakestraw Jr • Chargers RB Kimani Vidal • Commanders DB Trey Amos • Ravens WR Tez Walker A few young ballplayers that have been consistent talking points with folks around football during OTAs.
Louisville RB Isaac Brown — ‘24 ACC OROY & freshman All-America. Electric playmaker & already one of the country’s premier RBs. There aren’t many players in CFB I’m more excited to see back on the field this fall. With Duke Watson behind him, LVille has one of the top RB…
A day 3 pick last spring, Jordan Magee is only going to add more pop into the LB core for Washington as he progresses. A glimpse at his instincts/trigger from his days at Temple.
The Niners extended roster pillars in Warner, Purdy, & Kittle, added a heck of a rookie class of 11 ballplayers, brought back Robert Saleh to run the defense & also completely retooled their special teams unit. Tip of the cap is deserved for John Lynch & co.
Notable rookie matchups in W1: • TEN QB Cam Ward v DEN DB Jahdae Barron • NYG ED Abdul Carter v WSH OL Josh Conerly Jr • SEA iOL Grey Zabel v SF iDLs Alfred Collins & CJ West • MIN iOL Donovan Jackson v CHI iDL Shemar Turner • CAR WR Tetairoa McMillan v JAX DB/WR Travis…
Three big time ballgames on Christmas this year.🎄 • Lions at Vikings • Cowboys at Commanders • Broncos at Chiefs
The Commanders will host the New York Giants in Week 1, per league source. @art_stapleton first. It will mark the NFL debut of No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter, who could likely see Commanders first-round OT Josh Conerly Jr opposite.
Notables from a few conversations following rookie minicamp: Raiders WR Jack Bech Bills TE Jackson Hawes Bills WR Kaden Prather Titans WR Xavier Restrepo (UDFA) Falcons WR Nick Nash (UDFA) Panthers WRs Jimmy Horn Jr & Jacolby George (UDFA) Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa Commanders DB…
• TE Brock Bowers • RB Ashton Jeanty • WR1 Jack Bech The expectations are already lofty for Bowers & Jeanty, but the way Bech has already looked in early glimpses of work shows a guy who’s got a legit shot to be Vegas’ top guy on the outside. Nothing but glowing reviews from…
