I’m not evaluating college DL at the moment but this rush from Mesidor stopped me in my tracks. The fluidity and speed at which he clears the corner here is really impressive

Travis Burke might be the most violent finisher in the 2026 OL class. 6’9, 325 and you’re getting 5–7 knockdowns a game — not cleanup, not scheme… full-body, torque + drive finishes. Film room with Memphis RT ↓

NEW on Substack: Pass Pro Lab with Lane Johnson. We studied tape against Khalil Mack, Micah Parsons, T.J. Watt, Nick Bosa and others while discussing pass-set choreography, QB landmarks, route concepts and how elite tackles solve problems. One moment that stood out: Lane discussing how an early bull-rush from Abdul Carter reminded him of Micah Parsons and why studying Laremy Tunsil helped simplify his approach. Full film room + video:

One of the most interesting parts of my conversation with Laremy Tunsil was hearing him discuss the adjustment that changed his career. After years of getting beat inside, Tunsil began working with former NFL OL Mike Wahle, who introduced him to a line set influenced by Hall of Famer Walter Jones. The result was a simpler approach that helped eliminate many of the inside losses and spins that frustrated him earlier in his career. New Pass Pro Lab 👇

Spencer Brown was lights out yesterday against the Broncos with several impact blocks. He has been a personal protector for Allen scrambling right all season, a weapon in the screen game and dialed in on an island using a potent snatch-trap technique and effective change-ups.

The field conditions at the Super Bowl were an issue and frankly embarrassing considering the magnitude of the game. These are just some examples.

Tyler Booker 1v1 against Jalen Carter was a battle. Can't help but come away impressed by Booker's ability to go at Carter and win straight up. Not many OGs are doing that.

One of the coolest parts about studying certain OL is seeing them finish and run downfield to protect/congratulate/pick up their guys. One of the most consistent guys at it is Dalton Risner. 33 examples from his 2025 season 👇

Colts OL coach Tony Sparano Jr on how he teaches pass protection hand usage. Two hands. Independent strikes. Circle punches. Flashes. One thing that stood out: He avoids teaching OL in absolutes & instead teaches progression, reactions & confidence. Good football discussion.
