Connor Cook was a three-year starter at Michigan State and was arguably one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2016 NFL rookie draft class. At one point, Cook was projected as one of the first four quarterbacks off the board. In fact, some even projected him as a first-round selection. The Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns, […]

In the off-season there are always a few once promising and productive veterans that land one-year deals with a team in need of depth. This year, Donald Brown is one such player. Brown now joins a crowded New England backfield with his best days already behind him rushing for an average of less than 4

The 2016 NFL Draft suffered yet another huge drought from the tight end position. For every Rob Gronkowski in the league, there are ten Vance McDonalds. In this player profile, former Stanford Cardinal and current Atlanta Falcon Austin Hooper is somewhere between my Gronk-McDonald comparison. He wasn’t a featured target with only 74 career receptions in two years

The 2016 NFL Draft has its share of talented, yet niche players. One of the smallest wildcards is former Western Michigan, now current Chicago Bear wide out Daniel Braverman. When I say, smallest I’m talking about his size and not his talent. Being a former Mid-American Conference alumni (Bowling Green graduate), I have a special

Right before the NFL draft can be quite a stressful time, especially, for the potential draftees who are under a lot of pressure and scrutiny. One of the first to crack was former Western Kentucky and now current LA Ram, tight end, Tyler Higbee. Higbee got arrested on April 10th and charged with second degree assault,

With the 2016 NFL Draft behind us, dynasty owners are now trying to find value wherever they can. One of those less talked about rookie picks is former Mountaineer runner, Wendell Smallwood, who was drafted by the Eagles. Definably, Smallwood has a good opportunity to see immediate playing time in year one, playing behind Ryan

Before the 2016 NFL Draft anyone in New England could have told you that Jimmy Garoppolo was the highest drafted quarterback by the Patriots (62nd overall pick) since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 and was clearly Tom’s heir apparent. However, with the selection of Jacoby Brissett, in the 3rd round this year, some were left scratching

As dynasty fantasy owners prepare for their rookie drafts, there are always a few players that crash and burn; while others climb in the collective rankings. Today, we will discuss former Horned Frog rusher and current L.A. Ram, Aaron Green (who resembles the fiery explosion). Although, he was not invited to the NFL Combine, the

The NFL is filled with family tradition, just look at Archie Manning with his sons Eli and Peyton or former defensive guru Buddy Ryan with his sons Rex and Rob. Will Kelvin Taylor, the son of former Jacksonville all-pro Fred Taylor have the same sort of success as his dad? Dynasty fantasy owners are asking

First things first, Teddy Bridgewater is in need of another wide receiver playmate. Outside of rookie sensation Stefon Diggs, the wide receiver group vastly disappointed for the sophomore QB in 2015. Charles Johnson was thought to continue his solid 2014 season and build upon it for 2015. Unfortunately, that never happened and Bridgewater was left

Combine Wonder or more? With 2016 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it is time to look at a nice surprise aka, former Georgia Bulldog and current Washington back, Keith Marshall. Many dynasty owners might reason that his selection is a fluke since the former five-star recruit could not beat out Todd Gurley and Nick

Great combine and 2014, but what can we expect in 2016? The 2016 NFL Draft is full of anomalies aka, players that test one way, yet performed differently on the gridiron. Today, this scouting report will focus on former Golden Bear and current New Orleans Saints running back Daniel Lasco. The senior had a poor final

Every year the NFL Rookie Draft has stories upon stories, but Cardale Jones’ is one for the ages. The former third string quarterback became the starter in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game and continued that momentum into a three game winning streak that won Ohio State a National Championship. He got handed the starting

Athleticism is awesome, and I am one of the biggest proponents of great athleticism. However, great athleticism only guarantees one thing. If you guessed that the only thing guaranteed from it is great athleticism, then you are absolutely correct. While, I wish it could guarantee a successful NFL career, it does not guarantee that. One

From Small School to Small Time? You decide. No matter how you slice it, Charles Johnson has shown flashes of brilliance as an NFL wide-out. Changes in situation, moving between three organizations and incoming talent have all contributed to a tapestry of mediocrity spun by NFL brass and dumped on the head of CJ12. Is

The Donte Moncrief Wet Blanket If you are a dynasty player, you know of Donte Moncrief. Standing 6’2” and over 220lbs, flashing absurd speed and burst, he’s the monster Wide Receiver that #TeamBigWR covets religiously. Athleticism junkies drool over his 115.5 Sparq-X score (79th-Percentile). Even market share fanatics, like myself, look intriguingly at his 32-percent Dominator

I’d like to kick start this profiling of a young quarterback with a question. It’s a question that matters as much and arguably more than any when it comes to evaluating a young, talented and semi-proven player in the NFL. The first thing we must ask ourselves is, will this player ever get the opportunity

Mike Davis. I’m sure if you asked the San Francisco 49er running back about his first and last name, he would tell you, in some form, are not unique. The goal for the second year player though is to establish himself as “unique” within the crowded 49ers backfield. In my view, Davis should easily position himself

The all-time NFL greats are known for being exceptional leaders on and off the field. They embody what it means to be a professional athlete. As a result, they are granted an abundance of respect by their respective franchises and fans. Frank Gore was that great player for the San Francisco 49ers for nearly a

Before diving into this topic, I need to get one thing off my chest. I AM A BIG JEFF JANIS FAN! There, I said it, so you have been forewarned of any potential bias. The Green Bay Packers 2015 season did not go as planned, and the loss of Jordy Nelson echoed far more painfully than anybody
