Peter Woods is my #1 player in the 2026 class and he’s lapping the competition. It’s also really hard to study this class in depth and not come away thinking Clemson should be the NC favorite. No team that I’ve watched compares to their combo of experience + NFL talent. -…
Dallas Turner was on one today, too. Looked very good.
Vikings starters just went with a two-minute period. Was defensive domination. Probably would’ve been multiple sacks, Jonathan Greenard could not be stopped at all whatsoever. Hargrave wreaking havoc, too.
The Vikings have extended S/LB/DL/everything Josh Metellus. It’s a three-year deal worth up to $42 million.
Impressive interaction with #Clemson DT Peter Woods today at ACC media day. A few notes: • Already playing more inside under new DC Tom Allen, but open to playing anywhere. • Down to the 305-310 pound range Enters the year as the #1 player on my big board for the ‘26 draft.
I will also say this: Dallas Turner looks like a flash around the edge. Will continuously be interesting to see where he's lining up, but the sheer explosiveness is almost jarring in person.
Quick thoughts from Day 2 of Vikings training camp: The Brian Flores defense looks revved up, per usual around this time. Disguised looks. Activity from Levi Drake Rodriguez. Lots of Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers and Jeff Okudah. Offensively, a few crisp screens stood out.
Will have some full thoughts from first day of Vikings training camp, but thought J.J. McCarthy ran the operation very well. What you'd want for a Day 1. Also thought T.J. Hockenson looked great.

J.J. McCarthy said he’ll stay in Minnesota this summer, but plans to throw with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and the rest of the #Vikings’ receiving crew as much as possible. “If I have to go find them, I will,” McCarthy said.
