Division-III Middlebury vs. Georgia 👀 Advantage: OG/C Thomas Perry Duke Manyweather calls him "Thomas the Tank" bc he's one of the strongest players in the draft. Tireless worker. Just needs reps and development. Has improved each day at EW practices.

Georgia LB Chris Cole is poised for a breakout 2026 season now as a starter. Freaky mover at 6-3, 235. My eyes kept finding #9 when studying the UGA defense.

Play of the day, courtesy of Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields. Good bet he is the top WR drafted from this year's Senior Bowl.

Obviously, he's a physical freak. But the subtle body lean and head bob to manipulate the DB on this route is so, so good, esp for a freshman. It's more than just size/speed w/ Jeremiah Smith.

Caleb Downs will be "dinged" for most of his production coming near the LOS. But when OSU used him deep, he showed the same instincts and reaction skills. Cover-3 post. Read-react burst to drive on the throw. Stud.

Just throw it in Kenyon Sadiq's zip code. #TE1

The most impressive defensive prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft that I've seen so far this season? It's not even close: Rueben Bain Jr. (22 pressures, elite run defender)

The gravitational pull of Jeremiah Smith is hilarious (and warranted). Also, a pretty slick double-move by Carnell Tate

RB1 doing RB1 things. Ashton Jeanty in 1st half today: 12/146/4

LB Arvell Reese is everywhere on the OSU-UT tape. He's casually forklifts a 310-pound blocker on this rep and has the speed to flush Arch. Matt Patricia really weaponized him in this game.

WR Omar Cooper is an awesome addition to the 2026 draft class. High level ball skills and RAC ability. This play is an incompletion for most WRs. Somehow Cooper turns it into a 1st down.

Four of "my guys" in this draft class. Prospects I'm guessing I'll be higher on than most (based on the tape): Armand Membou, OT/G, Missouri Mike Green, Edge, Marshall Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas St.

Absolutely see the 4.34 speed w/ Bryce Lance (why he's in my top-100). Vert: 41.5" Broad: 11'1" 6-3, 204, 32 1/8, 9 1/4" Explosive long speed (1.49 10-yard split!). 21.2 yds/catch in 2025.

A lot of people are going to learn about Georgia St. WR Ted Hurst this week - 6032, 207, 33 1/4" arms, 10" hands - Glides to top speed and creates catching windows - Really productive for a team that went 1-11 in 2025 - 34 catches of 20+ yards over the last 2 yrs (No. 1 in FBS)

9/136/2 last night for Louisville WR Chris Bell. AJ Brown-like acceleration at 227-pounds!

LT Kadyn Proctor casually launching one defender into the other to seal outside run for 6.

Only once over the last decade has a RB surpassed 100 forced missed tackles in a season, according to PFF (Bijan Robinson had 104 in 12 gms in 2022). Ashton Jeanty is now at 105 forced missed tackles in 10 gms in 2024.

Ohio State LT Donovan Jackson (📈) continues to be the unsung MVP for this team. Zero pressures allowed vs. UT. In 3 Playoff Games (175 snaps vs. 3 very good DLs) Pressures: 1 Sacks: 0 Penalties: 0

Ashton Jeanty made Washington State's defense look like a JV squad. I've never seen more forced missed tackles on a RB tape. Just watch these 5 clips. #RB1

Arvell Reese vs. Illinois 😤 Future high draft pick. Future NFL playmaker.

We haven't seen multiple WRs drafted in the same top-5 overall picks in over two decades (2003). It's possible in the 2027 NFL Draft.

My early pick for fastest 40-yard dash at the Combine? Brenen Thompson (WR, Miss State) 10.18 100-meters in HS. He is dusting CBs on his 2025 tape. Led the P4 w/ 5 catches of 50+ yards (might've had double that w/ better throws).

The playmaking instincts of Trinidad Chambliss are ridiculous. This 3-play sequence sums it up.

One of my favorite random draft nuggets: CB Keith Abney (talented day 2 prospect) was an inline skating prodigy as a kid. Won 4 national titles. Destroyed the 300-meter national record in 7th grade 👇

This week's "Arvell Reese is really freaking good" tweet. Speed. Burst. Violence. What a weapon.

No block, no rock. Emeka Egbuka's blocking was all over the MSU tape. That won't go unnoticed by NFL scouts.

Get ready for the "He doesn't have enough college starts!" debates with QB Ty Simpson. It'll be the most talked about storyline of the draft process.

Just like he has done all season, David Bailey was a menace for Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. NFL teams covet this type of disruption on the edge.

The TreVeyon Henderson screen TD was more than just speed and poor defensive design. Texas FS Andrew Mukuba has the pursuit angle, but Henderson is so dang good in the open-field. He anticipates the block of Hinzman #75 and then cuts behind it (all while at full speed).

This was going to be a positive run regardless bc of the blocking. But the burst and proximity awareness of Jeremiyah Love turns it into a 94-yard TD. Would've been a TD in a two-hand touch game.

#LSU CB Mansoor Delane continues to play like the best cover man (zone or man) in CFB. Easy NFL starter grade as a prospect. 3 PD, 1 INT vs. Arkansas

Reese, Downs, McDonald, Styles, etc. all played awesome. But Kenyatta Jackson had arguably the best game of his career vs. Michigan. 4th-yr JR with an NFL decision to make after the season. Day 2 prospect.

Arizona State RT Max Iheanachor was a "winner" on day 2 of practice. Coordinated athlete in space, esp for 325 pounds. His hand use and awareness continue to improve. Exciting upside here.

Alabama safety Bray Hubbard #18 was a maniac vs. Wisconsin. Big, fast, alert and physical. 📈

Keionte Scott is a fun nickel to study. Extremely disruptive at the LOS due to his speed, balance and competitive toughness. Has been playing at this level all season for Miami.

Three games, three 100-yard receiving performances by #Rutgers WR Ian Strong (6-3, 215). Arguably the best contested catch receiver in CFB. NFL-level play strength + body control

Look, I know it was an FCS opponent. But Oregon DT A'Mauri Washington was a problem in his first career start. His quickness and burst off the ball are absurd for 320+ pounds. No. 4 on Bruce's Freaks List (and you can see why). NFL stock way up 📈
