IDP Draft Profile: LB Duke Riley, LSU

Here’s a writer’s secret for you: It can be very hard to write an objective scouting report on your draft crush. Believe me, I will do my best, though. You may be wondering why Duke Riley is my draft crush. After all, he’s a fairly under-the-radar weakside linebacker that probably won’t get drafted until Day-2.

Draft Profile: QB Nathan Peterman, Pittsburgh

Prior to the start of the football season, 2017 was being talked about as the great quarterback (QB) drought. After 2016 boasted 2- or 3- great signal callers (if you like Paxton Lynch as much as I do), 2017 was looking really weak. Then things took an unexpected turn, prospects grew immensely, and things clearly

In the stacked safety class of 2017, Malik Hooker is right up there with the best of them (Jamal Adams, Jabrill Peppers, Budda Baker). The former Buckeye was one of many standouts for Ohio State in 2016 as a Redshirt Sophomore, and he is now headed for the NFL. Safeties today must be extremely versatile

Draft Profile: Brad Kaaya, Miami Hurricanes

Many mock drafts prior to the 2016 season had Miami Quarterback Brad Kaaya as a top 15 pick. One preseason debate was centered around whether or not Kaaya was the best quarterback in the class.
