Excellent point, dating back to April when you first posted it in the Draft thread. Houston and Chicago are the teams that come to mind the most this season. A few years ago Denver went through this, when Sean Payton came aboard, so sometimes a new coach or GM (or both) can make an appreciable...

Nice to see you back, MCDC! Key Elevation Rules: Ref, if Larison is hoping to stick around, he will need to pull a "Woodhead" and flash as soon as possible. Might only have 3 games to shine? Woodhead did it game one with the Patriots (<link) and the rest is history; positive history. Then...

Nice write up, jacque Why in the world would any team need to keep 5 Tight Ends? Last season Aunt Crissy (Sunday Night Football), noticing more and more NFL teams were placing 3 tight ends on the field at the same time, said something like this (not exact words) : When your options at wide...

Of the 20 RB's I featured above (posts 14 and 12) only Grayson Rigdon and Bo MacCormack flashed on the F.B.S. stage. Details posted by Twenty-Two. Particularly disappointing, considering all the blow out wins week1! Why, for example, did Jett Walker not get a single carry for Texas? On the...

Most important part of the Link: "According to Art Stapleton of USA Today" Me and Leonardfan discussed it in this Seahawks thread: How S.I.com, Bleacher Report, USA Today and others are increasingly exploiting "superfans", who never leave their couches, and passing them off as beat writers or...

Smith's Career Earnings: $107,172,721 *** *** Career Earnings, minus the new deal

Twenty-Two, there has been a (nasty) rumor for over 100 years that Babe Ruth was mixed-race (too a varying degree) or an outright mulatto. Spike Lee and others have perpetrated it, but it's largely been debunked. We'll save that topic for another day and another CF forum (baseball), however...

Thanks for the explanation, Okie, I always assumed "Mc" was Irish and "Mac" was Scottish. Hence the close enough geographically comment.

Yes he is, as is Art Williams, which sounds like a popular name for "old school" black running backs from the 1970's and prior! Looks look Doll will get the Kaden Wetjen treatment this season, being relegated to return duties. Sort of sad, considering how much of a freak athlete he is...

Bucky, I know a "Mac" isn't the same as a "Mc", although close enough geographically (Europe). I'd like to link a recent post of mine***, featuring some potential Running Back's to watch, who are not exactly on the same tier (YET) as those put forth by Twenty-Two. B.C. could (eventually) have...

Yes, their ex-GM, who is black, stated this numerous times a few years ago (early 2024?) -- supposedly teams loved his special teams coverage ability, as well as his overall speed/athletic ability and were willing to trade for him. Even with that, he was rarely active that season. The Dolphins...

HD, if you did find time to do it, I think doing it by conference is the best way. Do the big 4 first, then work your way down. Some of the lower rung conferences, especially those which include several Southern based teams, are going to be hopelessly black. Best example is the Sun Belt, why...

Wafle looked great in his first game; as expected for a teen collecting over $1,000,000 via N.I.L. Here's a quick video of him abusing 3 Spartans in the span of like 4 or 5 seconds? He looks the part of future NFL top 10 pick, lets hope he continues to progress and, perhaps more importantly...

Nice work Twenty-Two; love the stats. There were over 12,000 lurkers, at one point, last night. No doubt your wrap-ups are required reading for a lot more people than you think! Leo, the entire A.C.C. is pretty much a joke. I'd love to see Norvell fired, so he can be replaced (in a perfunctory...

Thanks for the correction FT, Bozeman's 3 career solo tackles leads me to believe he'll be relegated to special teams coverage. If injuries ever ravaged the Black Bengals LB unit, I guess they'd find a "real athlete" off the street to start, before inserting Bozeman. Perhaps they can bring...

DB Dan Jackson, Lions: Reportedly, this ex-7th round pick was in line for the #3 safety job as a rookie in 2025, after a stellar pre-season. But was placed on I.R. with an injury that was likely not "season ending" (similar to Lan Larison). Lions thought 2025 would be a valuable "redshirt' year...

Corrected your last post for a typo! Yes, :buitre: was in the booth, so I decided to check out from watching. Hopefully :buitre: will be gone in the second half, so I can turn the game back on. Actually, Stanford struggling to beat a F.C.S. (1-AA) caliber Hawaii team (that now plays at high...

TwentyTwo, according to the draft geeks, he is on the NFL's radar. When he signed with Auburn, some of the bigger name draft types pitched him as a potential 2nd or 3rd round surprise pick. For whatever reason, they've toned down the rare hype (projecting him rd 5, or so?) they were given a...

Leo, great point regarding the quarterbacks. Not sure why any White 4 star recruit would go anywhere Knoxville, too be coached up by QB "guru" Heupel. Don't think 5 stars should even consider, let alone commit! But it's not just limited to QB. Look at the highly regarded defenders I posted...

Good point. It does seem like the P.T.B. are pushing more black TE's, as the position probably became too White dominated in recent years. This year is much like 2025, as we are seeing black TE's on top of almost all draft ranking lists, as if they mean anything this early? It's sort of easy...

Good point icspect, regarding the Colorado retro saga, but have to disagree a bit on Lane's girl. I think Lane's daughter has been "dating" the Tigers' star linebacker for quite a while, even before he accepted the L.S.U. job. From all reports, Whit (potential 1st or 2nd round NFL pick) is a...

Good post Leonardfan, didn't realize the SEC had gone that far, with the D.E.I. QB's? Don't forget, Jalen Milroe was once considered a "consensus" (fairly high) 1st round pick by Kiper and all his draft geek followers on the Net. Reality is, at best, he might become the NFL's version of...

Freethinker, I realize a lot of these pre-season articles are merely fluff, mostly put out by "super fans", with limited or zero real access to teams. SI.com, USA Today's affiliated Wire, Bleacher Report, SBNation and even NFL.com have pretty much all gone on the "cheap" and are outright...

Excellent job Leo; glad you took the time to research it and post it. I know these lists are tough to comb through! Niki Prongos Stanford -- some draft geeks claim this player could be a "boom or bust" type -- possible first round pick or nowhere close. Supposedly a total athletic freak...
