Play of the Day No. 259: Rueben Bain Jr. sack working against right tackle Ryan Baer (Miami vs. Pittsburgh, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 258: Great catch and run by Hurricanes freshman Malachi Toney, but watch Anez Cooper introduce a defender to the turf (Miami vs. Louisville, 2025). #POTD

Yesterday, I published my 2026 NFL Draft cornerback rankings. The class is loaded. 17 corners received mid-4th round grades or better, including seven who earned at least 2nd round marks. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/december-2...

Play of the Day No. 257: Colbie Young beats Domani Jackson on the double move for a walk-in touchdown (Georgia vs. Alabama, 2025). #POTD

I put together my own awards list for the 2025 College Football season. The Big Ten lapped the other conferences on the All-America Teams, and Fernando Mendoza became the first Indiana Hoosier to win the Heisman Trophy. Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

The Seattle Seahawks don't have many picks to work with in the 2026 NFL Draft, but I took a couple of swings at landing future starters in some mock draft simulators. #Seahawks #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/2026-nfl-d...

Play of the Day No. 256: Ah to heck with it, Bryant Wesco Jr. is down there somewhere (Clemson vs. Syracuse, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 255: Kayden McDonald showcasing his explosiveness in the Big Ten Championship Game (Ohio State vs. Indiana, 2025). #POTD

Fernando Mendoza, Kayden McDonald, Sonny Styles, and Lee Hunter were among the most impressive 2026 NFL Draft prospects in action during college football's conference championships. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

This is the most fun I've had watching Fernando Mendoza's tape yet. Here's a cut-up of some of his better moments against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game. Firmly QB1 in the 2026 NFL Draft at this point. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Play of the Day No. 254: In my opinion, this is the play that changed the Big Ten Championship Game. Fernando Mendonza hits the deep post to Charlie Becker for 51 yards (Indiana vs. Ohio State, 2025). #POTD

I put together a dozen mocks for the Kansas City Chiefs using four different simulators. It’s rare for KC to be picking so high in the NFL Draft, so this is a rare opportunity to retool the roster. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #ChiefsKingdom Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/2026-nfl-d...

I ranked the top ten 2026 NFL Draft prospects to watch in each of the college football Power Four conference championship games this weekend. No surprise, the Big Ten and SEC are stacked. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft #CFB Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/2026-nfl-d...

Play of the Day No. 253: Finally, the red zone shenanigans actually go Clemson's way. Cade Klubnik picks up his own fumble and scrambles for a touchdown (Clemson vs. South Carolina, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 252: Jackson Acker toe-tapping touchdown catch in the corner of the snowy end zone. It was originally ruled incomplete but was changed to a touchdown after review (Wisconsin vs. Minnesota, 2025). #POTD

The college football regular season concluded last week, which means it’s time to revisit the top performers from the month of November with the November All-America Team. #CFB #Collegefootball Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

Week 14 of College Football was a final chance for some 2026 NFL Draft prospects to impress scouts. Let's check in on Josh Hoover, T.J. Parker, Quintrevion Wisner, A.J. Haulcy, Tyler Onyedim, and more. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

Play of the Day No. 251: This is the final play before keel downs for the Longhorns. It's a 30-yard Quintrevion Wisner run. Watch LT Trevor Goosby get a slab of Albert Regis before picking off Daymion Sanford. Also, nice block by Jack Endries (Texas vs. Texas A&M, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 250: KC Concepcion is making plays against the Texas Longhorns tonight. He didn't make this catch against South Carolina, but you can see the explosiveness and twitch that make him such a threat (Texas A&M vs. South Carolina, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 249: Cornerback Kelley Jones has two interceptions this year. This is by far the most skilled of the two (Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M, 2025). #POTD

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social to support your take on there always being a crazy number of injuries in the NFL, this was a Sports Illustrated cover in 2017.

A little Thanksgiving mock draft. The 2026 NFL Draft didn't make it easy, but I came up with at least a few combinations I liked. #NFLDraft #2026NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/thanksgivi...

Play of the Day No. 248: Emmanuel Pregnon de-cleater (Oregon vs. Indiana, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 247: Josh Cameron hauls in the contested fade against Keith Abney II (Baylor vs. Arizona State, 2025). #POTD

Stanford's Collin Wright leads the way for Week 13's Stock Up rankings. Dante Moore also helped his 2026 NFL Draft stock with a big game against USC. Check out the other top performers at the link below. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

I have graded 34 linebackers in the 2026 NFL Draft. Here are where my rankings sit in late November as the college football regular season nears its end. Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are LB 1 and 2. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/november-2...

Play of the Day No. 246: Mario Craver goes 86 yards for the touchdown against the Fighting Irish (Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 245: Tyre West bull rushes through Bulldogs right tackle Earnest Greene III for the quarterback hit. A defensive holding penalty negates the interception (Tennessee vs. Georgia, 2025). #POTD

I forgot to share this on Monday, but here are my 2026 NFL Draft Stock Up selections from college football Week 12. Some of the headliners: Keith Abney, Malachi Fields, Kenyon Sadiq, and Dani Dennis-Sutton. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

Play of the Day No. 244: Wesley Bailey has been an excellent complementary rusher for Clev Lubin. Check out his bull rush here (Louisville vs. Boston College, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 243: Jakobe Thomas jumps a route for a pick-six (Miami vs. North Carolina State, 2025). #POTD

Some nice reps by Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson against Minnesota. He's a redshirt sophomore transfer from Louisville, and presumably the heir to Kenyon Sadiq's role in 2026.

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social I would like to nominate Jordan Addison for the burn book. JJ McCarthy is making him unplayable

Play of the Day No. 242: Linebacker Rasheem Biles jumps the screen for a walk-in pick-six (Pittsburgh vs. Notre Dame, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 241: Will Echoles flattens the center to apply interior pressure (Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 240: Austin Romaine tosses Texas Tech tight end Terrance Carter Jr. and assists with the tackle (Kansas State vs. Texas Tech, 2025). #POTD

Play of the Day No. 239: Drew Shelton gets just enough of Jamari Sharpe to spring Nick Singleton on a 19-yard touchdown (Penn State vs. Indiana, 2025). #POTD

Let's take a look at a dozen 2026 NFL Draft prospects who had good games in Week 11, including two quarterbacks and two Big Ten left guards. It's this week's Stock Up! #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

Oregon's A'Mauri Washington failed to finish plays against Iowa, but he created consistent disruption that made openings for his teammates. Here are his best moments from Week 11. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Oregon's Bear Alexander has been one of the top risers in the 2026 NFL Draft. He was disruptive against Iowa's star offensive line. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Beau Stephens was Iowa's best offensive lineman in the game against Oregon. He routinely made impactful blocks in the run game while his teammates struggled to contain Bear Alexander and A'Mauri Washington. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Not the cut-up I was expecting to make today, but Jake Retzlaff had himself a night against Memphis. Great win for Tulane. Retzlaff comes with concerning baggage but still a 2026 NFL Draft prospect with some nice tools. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Some of the more interesting Ty Simpson moments from Alabama's win against LSU. Simpson has clearly separated from Dante Moore and Fernando Mendoza as QB1 on my big board if he declares for the 2026 NFL Draft. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft

Play of the Day No. 238: Austin Romaine originally comes on the blitz but peels off when he feels the play starting to develop and ends up in the perfect spot for an interception (Kansas State vs. Texas Tech, 2025). #POTD

I went back and forth on a lot of these, but here are my 2026 NFL Draft edge rusher rankings for 47 prospects. I'm hoping to add another 10 or so after we get official declarations on who's returning or not. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/november-2...

Play of the Day No. 237: Kayden McDonald is my top true nose tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft. He has been a top 80 prospect on my board since the summer (Ohio State vs. Penn State, 2025). #POTD

I still need to evaluate four or five tight ends for the 2026 NFL Draft, but I already have grades on 30+ players at the position. Here are my tight end rankings. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/november-2...

Play of the Day No. 236: Quincy Rhodes Jr. will likely return to school in 2026 but continues to flash in 2025. The spin is his best move (Arkansas vs. Mississippi State, 2025). #POTD

Malachi Lawrence, Olaivavega Ioane, Derrick Moore, and Skyler Bell had some of the top weeks by 2026 NFL Draft prospects. Check out some of the other top Stock Up performers from Week 10 of college football. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2026 #2026NFLDraft Read: sportstalk.substack.com/p/college-fo...

Play of the Day No. 235: Michael Trigg looks like the older brother who agrees to play with his younger brother's friends and just shows off the whole time. Just made it look comically easy against UCF (Baylor vs. UCF, 2025). #POTD
