Five-star wide receiver and the number one wide receiver recruit in the 2020 class according to 247Sports Julian Fleming has verbally committed to play at Ohio State University. Fleming, who is also ranked number six overall in the 2020 class by 247Sports, had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, and many more, decided today on Ohio State.

Tua Tagovailoa is an extremely polarizing prospect in the 2020 draft class. As a true Freshman, he entered the National Championship game after halftime, down by 13 points. The poise he showed in that miraculous comeback is precisely what had some fanbases clamoring for in their “Tank for Tua” campaigns. He replaced a seasoned veteran who had previously been a true freshman phenom in Jalen Hurts, and Alabama has never looked back.
Many already regard Tua as the consensus QB1 and possibly number 1 overall pick in next years draft class. Throughout the last few weeks, I have watched hours of game film picking apart every facet of his game
Memphis Tigers #55 Linebacker One of the top rising pass rushers in college football, Memphis Tigers linebacker Bryce Huff, is coming off a forty-nine tackle, nineteen tackle for a loss and nine and a half sack performance, in his first full season as a starter. Now entering his senior season, he is primed to be […]
Every year there are a handful of players that get overlooked during their college careers and then the pre-draft process as well. That can be due to a variety of factors. I will be focusing mainly on running backs for this project. From going to a small school (David Johnson), not getting the workload they […]

As it pertains to college production, some believe it is the end all be all statistic to evaluate a player going into the NFL. To me, it is a piece of the puzzle (just like the combine), but one has to digest the reasons for production. What makes a players production in college special? We […]
As we prepare for another college season full of hype during spring games and scrimmages, it is important to note a few of those names that stick out. Below are two players that have excelled in high school and were no lower than four-star recruits via 247 Sports coming out. There are many players that […]
The calendar has turned to April. The days are longer. The weather is better. College football teams are back on the field and spring games are here. This weekend brings the first big slate of games. Some teams are looking forward to getting players back on the field after an injury-shortened 2018 season, others are […]
It’s that time of the year again folks! The NFL draft is just around the corner. Draftniks are breaking down film and furiously debating players. Dynasty players are awaiting upcoming rookie drafts and locking in their rankings. For the past few years, I have shown my process of using combine stats to help discover which […]
Over the last few years, devy leagues have increased in popularity. I’ve found that over half of the leagues I’m in are devy leagues. They add a wrinkle to typical dynasty leagues, give you that much more ammo to trade and even more players to study up on during the offseason. One thing I have […]
Let the hype train begin–it’s wide receiver time! This was the best group of offensive players at the combine, so let’s break them down and see what we can find. I’ve separated them into two categories. The first group could have an immediate impact next season. The second group will need work but have a […]
With the NFL Combine being wrapped up and my numbers finally starting to wrap up, I wanted to write an article to talk about this ridiculous WR class. I have 29 wide receivers with a 5th round grade or higher, and on average, around 32 wide receivers get selected each draft. The talent in this […]
Ok, it’s quarterback time and this year it’s a very short list. First, let’s look at the league as a whole. A lot of general managers aren’t happy about missing out on Patrick Mahomes. To understand what I mean think of it this way: 31 teams missed on a franchise quarterback. Based on the MVP […]
The 2019 NFL combine may have come and gone, but it has left its footprint behind with some very good athletic results. Other results left us scratching our heads. Those who have watched game film of these prospects for a long time find ourselves confused with the testing numbers that took place in Indianapolis. What […]
Hey fantasy loyalists, the NFL Combine is here, and it’s time to evaluate the running backs. What are we looking for, exactly? You hear a lot of things, like how a forty time dictates how successful a football player can be. Others say there is nothing to learn from guys running around in tights and […]
Young men running fast in spandex. No, I’m not describing an Avengers movie here folks. This is the NFL Combine. The biggest tryout audition of your life, a chance to impress your future employers, and one last shot in the national spotlight before your professional career begins. It quite literally means everything to the prospects […]
With the college season well in the books and the Super Bowl having just concluded, draft season is in full effect. Throughout these next few months, the talk is likely going to be centered around the big name, high profile top prospects. Players such as Nick Bosa, Kyler Murray, and Quinnen Williams are sure to […]
Offensive tackle is one of the most important positions in football and quality play at the position is paramount to the success of an offense. Luckily for lots of NFL teams, this year’s offensive tackle haul is quite impressive, with several players who I think could step in almost immediately and contribute quality play and […]
