I know Keionte Scott (CB, Miami) ended his college career as a Hurricane, and that's cool and all... ...but he started off his college football journey as a Snow Badger (Snow Community College in UT), and I'll tell you what: this is some elite mascot work right here.

Justin Joly (TE, NC State) isn't the tallest guy, but... OK, sure man - whatever. Wow. 🖐️

Tanner Koziol (TE, Houston) has a 74.1% contetsted catch percentage. I know it's common to joke about players who "turn 50/50 balls into 80/20 balls"... but that's not reality. A very good contested catch rate is 50-60%. 74% is outstanding. Koziol has a big frame, strong hands, & walls off defenders

Update: Pass rushing beast Nadame Tucker (EDGE, Western Michigan) was *checks notes* ...also playing for Independence CC in 2020. So their DL featured Tucker & Jeffrey M'ba (DT, SMU). 👀

Sonny Styles (LB, Ohio State) missed tackle percentage was... 2.2%. That's ridiculously low. Other top linebacker prospects in this draft class are around 5x higher than that (10-12%) - which is still solid!

The latest ALL NFL Draft Podcast went out this am! Was joined by Sam Bruchhaus from @sumersports.bsky.social to talk through the #NFLCombine Drills that matter most at each position Between the athletic testing & field work we covered a ton of ground! #NFLDraft 🔊 t.co/i2WblRU16R

Imagine you're a community college offensive lineman in 2021 and you roll up to take on Independence CC (Kansas)... only to realize you're going to be lined up against all 6'6"/300+ pounds of Jeffery M'ba (DT, SMU). 👀

Gonna be LIVE on CBS Sports Network talking through some of my favorite prospects in this year’s draft class ahead of the combine!

With the NFL combine set to begin next weekend, I ranked the position groups from strongest to weakest and mentioned prospects that would make sense for the #Eagles from the groups they needed to look at closely: OL, DB, EDGE, Safety, WR, and more: www.inquirer.com/eagles/ranki...

Clarification: I blew it. After a long day, I got my wires crossed. I mixed the SB 53 & offseason roster (which includes reserve futures contracts). So (facts): - There weren't 7 UDFAs from a single class on the SB 53 - However, the real total might be MORE impressive (cont'd.):

My love for finding value in the UDFA process is well-chronicled, but if there is anyone who cares MORE about it than I do, it's John Schneider. Wild fact: SEVEN players on the 53-man Super Bowl roster were UDFAs... from a SINGLE draft cycle (2025)!! Unreal value.

What if I told you that this turned into a TD? That the RB (Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame) ran right between those 2 deep defenders... and never stopped. Would you believe me? Love takes angle-breaking to the extreme. Silly stuff.

It's that time of year again: ripping through film getting ready for Indy. I'll post numbers that catch my eye along the way. First up: Zachariah Branch (WR, Georgia). Avg. yards per catch this season? 10.0. Average YAC per catch? 7.8. 👀

It’s finally here: NFLSE & Bootleg together in one place, taking deep dives into NFL Draft topics. If you’re into that kind of thing you won’t want to miss this limited-run, 4-episode series. Welcome to The Bluechip Committee: youtu.be/WfZvgBBJ2IM?...

Are you a fan of the NFL Draft? You feeling lucky? Might just be your week... #TBC

Congrats to the Seahawks. John did a masterful job building this roster and Mike did equally strong work making them into a true team. Thanks to everybody who followed along and supported Bootleg this season. Here’s to you.

So fitting that the defense seals the first Super Bowl victory for Mike Mac as a head coach. Dominant all year, they lead the way for SEA to hoist the trophy this season.

The natural layering in the Seahawks pass rush lanes is why they are so good. Everything is so technically sound. --

Could not be happier for Derick Hall, balling out with everybody watching. Such a physical, fundamentally sound part of this Hawks defense. 💪🏼

Feeling pretty solid about my predictions for how this Super Bowl was going to play out: -Inside runs were going to be very tough to come by✔️ -JSN vs. Gonzo Reps = football cinema✔️ -Low-scoring affair that was going to be ruled by the defenses✔️ -SEA would bring DB blitzes off the edge on big downs✔️

Sean McVay is becoming the Nick Saban of the NFL: Need to rehab that coaching resume’? Take any job you can on McVay’s staff for a year, and you are good to go. 🪄🎩

#Eagles OC Sean Mannion never called plays in an NFL game, but he did during the Shrine Bowl earlier this week. I broke down the film to gather insight on what his playcalling influences may be, and how it could meld with Josh Grizzard’s passing concepts: www.inquirer.com/eagles/sean-...

San Diego State CB Chris Johnson. Lots to like. Could have a big week in Mobile ...

(Big) Fireworks going off in the neighborhood. Hawks are headed back to the ‘Bowl.

Sam Darnold held his own personal exorcism today. Ghosts no more.🚫👻

taunting should be allowed, that’s such a lame game changing penalty

IMMEDIATELY. Woolen poked the Bear. Stafford bit his arm off.

im sure that won't come back to bite seattle. i feel fine

Second time tonight that Adams has dumped Spoon in coverage. Adams has been great at managing contact with DBs since year 3 or 4 for him in GB. Just enough to give an advantage without getting called for OPI. Doesn’t get much credit for that facet of game.

We're 155 minutes into Rams v Seahawks 2025-2026. 25 more to go. Savor them.

this quarter is just fuckin haymakers by both teams

Stafford with 3 perfect throws: We’re not done. 💥🥊

Mike Macdonald preaching all 3 phases: and ST sets them up for the quick score to turn this game for SEA. Watch for the defense come out with renewed energy to try and slam the door on the Rams.

On Bootleg I said that for the Seahawks to win, JSN would have to have a top-tier game… and that he would, based on the first 2 matchups with LAR this season. Through the first half… yeah. He’s on one.

Best on best is so much fun: Kam Curl has always been a lights-out hitter in the secondary. JSN has been very good in contested catch situations. Line ‘em up and see who wins. 💥

Watching McVay counterpunch Macdonald’s defense is pure football cinema. X’s & O’s and execution at the highest level. Makes games like this special.

Passing lanes are not territory for the faint of heart in this LAR-SEA game. Refs are letting them play and both sides are swinging hammers in the handfighting dept.

my best strategy for dealing with Kenneth Walker III would be yelling "now I say stop all that nonsense now" in the most Foghorn Leghorn accent I could muster

Walker’s ability to make people miss has always been a centerpiece of his game. Pair that with his speed and he’s always a threat to rip off explosive plays.

Hawks roar out of the gate at home. Defense forced a punt and then the offenses forces the issue. KWalk picking up right where he left off last week. ⚡️💪🏼

Game of inches: Leonard Taylor III gets a piece of a FG try and tips it wide. NE heads back to the Super Bowl.

Appropriate that a Vrabel-led team claws their way back into this one because of the defense.

RJ Harvey running extremely well. Avoiding first contact from the defense almost every time. Those extra yards are adding up.

Great start for the Broncos at home. Patriots are going to need points quickly if they hope to have a chance late in the game when the altitude sets in. If NE is trailing at that stage? Gonna be a tough uphill climb.

The Rams are a win away from the Super Bowl with a team built completely differently than the champion of three seasons ago. What did it really take to pivot? “You’ve got to be a little f—ed up.” Then, it came down to one fateful day. Inside the 3-year journey: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...
