ACC Spring ’18: Notre Dame

By Kyle Francis | April 16, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Notre Dame

Quarterbacks Yeah, yeah, they aren’t technically in the ACC, but for all intents and purposes, they are. Starting these previews at the QB spot is perfect as we get into the oft-maligned position from last season. I had very high hopes for Brandon Wimbush last season. I pegged him as a Heisman Dark Horse and […]

ACC Spring ’18: University of North Carolina Tar Heels

By Kyle Francis | April 16, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: University of North Carolina Tar Heels

  Quarterback UNC elected not to go with a traditional spring scrimmage this season. The reasoning behind this choice was the thought that they would get twice as many reps for their young team by going with an alternative strategy. Starting at the top, there is a QB controversy in Chapel Hill. Chazz Surratt had […]

2019 Devy Profile: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss

By Joshua Johnson | April 15, 2018 | Comments Off on 2019 Devy Profile: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss

Intro: After a promising true freshman season (29 receptions, 429 yards 14.2 YPC and 2 TDs), A.J. Brown had a breakout campaign in 2017 for the Ole Miss Rebels. His 75 receptions were 33 more than his next closest teammate. His 1,252 yards were nearly twice as much as any other Rebel. His 16.7 YPC […]

ACC Spring ’18: Florida State Seminoles

By Kyle Francis | April 14, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Florida State Seminoles

Florida State has always recruited well so it shouldn’t surprise me as much as it has that they have as many good options as they do at QB. Deondre Francois is the presumed favorite after getting QB1 reps for all of 2016 and the 2017 opener where he was injured. He is still rehabbing the […]

ACC Spring ’18: Miami Hurricanes

By Kyle Francis | April 14, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Miami Hurricanes

Miami had an incredible resurgence in 2017. They rattled off ten consecutive wins. Some would say it was largely due to the play of Malik Rosier while others would contend that it was in spite of his play. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. When you look at his raw stats, he completed 54% […]

SEC Spring ’18: Kentucky Wildcats

By Kyle Francis | April 13, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Kentucky Wildcats

The biggest question that needs answering is who will be the QB for the Cats this fall? Stephen Johnson had plenty of flaws but what’s the old saying, “the devil you know is better than the devil ya don’t?” The thing that makes this really interesting is that the two players that are vying for […]

He plays the game […]

ACC Spring ’18: Louisville Cardinals

By Kyle Francis | April 12, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Louisville Cardinals

Philosophers have wondered for ages, what will LALJ be like? Life after Lamar Jackson is scary. The most electric and dominant CFF QB of the forward pass era, Jackson now takes his talents to the NFL, and Jawon “Puma” Pass has the unenviable task of replacing him. Full disclosure, if you asked me last year […]

ACC Spring ’18: Pittsburgh Panthers

By Kyle Francis | April 12, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Pittsburgh Panthers

There aren’t many bright spots on this Pitt offense other than QB Kenny Pickett. He didn’t get a ton of work as a true freshman in 2017 but he made his lone start count. Against Miami, he went 18 of 29 for 193 yards and a TD while rushing for 13-60-2 in the 24-14 win. […]

ACC Spring ’18: Duke Blue Devils

By Kyle Francis | April 12, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Duke Blue Devils

There are some holes to fill for Duke this season, but QB is not one of them. Daniel Jones enters his third season as the starter for Duke. I am a huge fan of Jones. Last season, I expected him to build upon some of the terrific games he had as a rFR in 2016, […]

ACC Spring ’18: Virginia Tech Hokies

By Kyle Francis | April 11, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Virginia Tech Hokies

After seeing Josh Jackson play the first four games of his rFR last season it would be inconceivable to think he wasn’t a lock to be the starter at VT for at least two, maybe three more years. As it happens with many young players, particularly QBs, he regressed and finished the season playing like […]

ACC Spring ’18: Clemson Tigers

By Kyle Francis | April 11, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Clemson Tigers

Dabo Swinney has done a marvelous job of building Clemson into one of the premier programs in college football. Every position group is seemingly loaded with NFL players, and the quarterback room is no exception. Kelly Bryant had the unenviable task of following behind one of college football’s all-time greats in Deshaun Watson. Bryant was […]

ACC Spring ’18: Boston College Eagles

By Kyle Francis | April 10, 2018 | Comments Off on ACC Spring ’18: Boston College Eagles

Anthony Brown showed some promise at QB for Boston College in 2017. He injured his knee towards the end of the season and has missed spring practice as a result. I don’t think he’s in serious jeopardy of losing his job in the fall, but there are two other guys who are running with the […]

In part one of this series, I looked at the Cowboys skill positions and possible replacements. If you missed that article, start here. Drafting Skill Positions in the Garrett Era While head coach of the Cowboys, Jason Garrett has partaken in a relatively needs-based draft approach. The upside here is that over Garrett’s tenure, the […]

SEC Spring ’18: Texas A&M Aggies

By Kyle Francis | April 10, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Texas A&M Aggies

The Jimbo Fisher era is officially underway in College Station. Fisher has developed a positive reputation for his work with quarterbacks. He is very hands-on and has a methodical approach to the way that he recruits the position. The good news is that he has a couple of talented options on this roster. The last […]

SEC Spring ’18: Missouri Tigers

By Kyle Francis | April 9, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Missouri Tigers

Missouri will be implementing a new offense this season after former OC, Josh Heupel, took the head job at UCF. The good news is they return one of the most talented QBs in college football. Drew Lock finished last season as the CFF QB5. He had this to say in regards to their new offense, […]

SEC Spring ’18: Florida Gators

By Kyle Francis | April 9, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Florida Gators

The Gators hired Quarterback Whisperer, Dan Mullen, and it appears that he has his work cut out for him. UF has been unsettled at the QB position for the better part of a decade. The three current contenders are Feleipe Franks, Kyle Trask, and Emory Jones. Franks has the most extensive experience of the trio […]

Five underrated rookies to keep an eye on in 2018

By Maverick Allison | April 9, 2018 | Comments Off on Five underrated rookies to keep an eye on in 2018

As we draw closer the NFL Draft, most of us seem to have a general understanding of all of the top rookies in this class. Soon we will covet the names of Barkley, Guice, Michel, Moore, Sutton, Ridley, and a few others like them. Although for every sure-fire top rookie pick in the past such […]

SEC Spring ’18: Auburn Tigers

By Kyle Francis | April 6, 2018 | Comments Off on SEC Spring ’18: Auburn Tigers

There is relative stability at QB on the Plains this spring. Well, stability in the sense that Stidham isn’t in jeopardy of losing his job, but he is in jeopardy of missing the overwhelming majority of spring practice as he recovers from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder. That has given the opportunity for both of […]

The Definitive Dallas Pre-Draft Report

In-depth analysis of the Cowboys skill positions Since the day I watched my first football game, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with the football team in Dallas. It was a warm spring afternoon in 2012, and there was absolutely nothing on New Zealand television that was remotely interesting. As I channel surfed through the sports […]

Landing Spot Hell: Running Back Edition

By John Di Bari | April 4, 2018 | Comments Off on Landing Spot Hell: Running Back Edition

In a recent conversation I was having with Travis May on my podcast, we were discussing rookies we could imagine landing with the Tennessee Titans. One of the names that were thrown out there (before the free agency signing of Dion Lewis) was Georgia running back and fantasy draft twitter darling Sony Michel. We pretty much […]
