I think #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts left a big play on the field here to A.J. Brown in the first half. Brown motions to align on the same side as DeVonta Smith, and Smith clears out while Brown runs a deep in-breaker. Hurts seems to look at Brown but turns down the throw and leaves the pocket. Could have even thrown to Jahan Dotson on the corner route at the bottom of the screen.

A.J. Brown, Darius Slay, and Isaiah Rodgers arrive to the Iowa Cubs stadium for Cooper DeJean’s softball game. Rodgers tells me he thinks he’s going to win the Home Run Derby.

A great indicator of a strong prospect: they can affect or derail a drive in a string of plays. #TexasTech LB Jacob Rodriguez did that 3 plays in a row against Arizona State. - Run stop on 1st down - Blitz and batted pass at the LOS on 2nd down - Chase and tackle RB screen on 3rd.

Was in Zack Baun’s hometown of West Bend, Wisconsin last night for an event and Q&A honoring their Super Bowl champion and All-Pro linebacker. He talked about his football journey and the community that raised him, and closed with an Eagles chant. 🔗:

#Miami EDGE Ahkeem Mesidor with back to back sacks to close out Notre Dame. Has inside out ability. Keep his name on your radars along with Rueben Bain Jr.!

Hard to believe #Maryland DT Jordan Phillips will be 20 years old on draft day. The physicality and athleticism he plays with is impressive. Credited with 20 run stops last season and had a 16.7% pass rush win rate on true pass sets. Lots of potential in his NFL future.

#UCLA LB Kain Medrano is forgotten about because of his teammate Carson Schwesinger but he has excellent coverage ability (2 INTs in 2024) and pass rushing upside. Arrived at UCLA as a WR. Explosiveness at the combine showed that (4.46s 40, 10-5 broad, 38 in. vert). Fun player!

#SMU RB Brashard Smith is a player I keep coming back to and runs like these are why. Speedy back but shows his power on the goal line with the "won't be denied attitude." Can see him winning multiple teams over with plays like this.

New #Eagles DT Ty Robinson's go-to pass rush moves are the club rip or the club swim moves. Consistently sets those up, especially when he has that two-way as a 1-tech, 2i, or 3-tech. Crosses faces every time he pulls out one of those moves.

#Arizona OL Jonah Savaiinaea (6-4, 324) has experience at LT (5 starts), RT (16 starts) and RG (15 starts) and has a nasty snatch-trap in pass pro. Physical, heavy hands, quickness off the ball, powerful run blocker who I'm projecting to guard. Swing tackle ability in a pinch.

Green Bay asked Dontayvion Wicks to do a lot of the dirty work at the LOS, from insert blocks to crack/replace up to safeties or the frontside linebacker. I'd expect the #Eagles to also utilize his abilities as a run blocker in their offense too. Adds an extra blocking body in the box to help spring downhill runs from under center.

New #Eagles OC Sean Mannion has never called plays in an NFL game, but was the OC for the West team at the Shrine Bowl earlier this week. While most of the offensive install were fairly simple, there's some Matt LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan influences in the small sample size. Mannion called quite a few play-action bootlegs with tight WR alignments.

#Eagles take one of my guys in this draft class, Cole Wisniewski. The former LB turned safety uses those skills in run support, running the alley, squaring up to tackle. He was at his best playing closer to the LOS in coverage.

#OSU LB Arvell Reese with a 4 plays that encapsulates his performance and NFL potential: - Forklifts the Texas RT and forced Arch Manning out of pocket - Covers a "Texas" route out of backfield. - Fills gap for 4th down stop - Slips underneath O-lineman for open field tackle.

#Eagles take NDSU Cole Payton here in the fifth round. Special running ability for the lefty, oozes athleticism and someone that can develop over the next couple of years. He’s someone I mentioned as an option for the Eagles earlier this month.

#Miami RT Francis Mauigoa put another strong performance on tape against Ole Miss. Clearing the way in the run game and working well in tandem on combo blocks, passing off stunts in pass pro, forcing edge rushers to work around the arc.

Went back and watched the film, #Indiana Center Pat Coogan had a fantastic performance vs. Oregon. Pulling in space, working well on double-teams up to LBs, overtaking players in pass pro and picking up blitzing linebackers, blocking even when his helmet is knocked off.

Absolutely blown away by #Arizona nickel/safety Treydan Stukes tape. By far the best ball skills of any DB I have watched this cycle. Recovery speed, mirroring ability, his ball production (4 INTs, 6 PBUs) all without committing any penalties. He is going to crush the Senior Bowl.

#Eagles signing UDFA TE Dae'Quan Wright, who runs with good route pacing and moves well for a player his size. Willing to do the dirt work in the run game. Has 8 TDS over the last two seasons. Nice development player at the position.

#Indiana DB D'Angelo Ponds balled all game against Miami on Monday night. Allowed one catch on six throws his way, made several tackles providing run support from his corner spot, had a PBU and dislodged the football on another throw. I'd want him on my team and in my secondary.

The TD catch from #Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq was only a small sample of his dominant showing against Montana State. He kicked ass as a blocker on multiple plays and showed off his 41.5-inch vertical on a jet sweep as well. Unreal athlete but he does the dirty work too on offense.

#Eagles had a formal meeting with Jaydon Blue at the combine, and will bringing him in for a top 30 visit as well. Legit breakaway speed and his game against Clemson gave a sampling of what he brings skill set wise, especially on OZ.

#Miami EDGE Rueben Bain is often talked about for his pass rushing ability but he put on a clinic as a run defender against Indiana. Violent hands at the POA allows him to lock out and shed blocks, plus his pursuit speed and explosiveness afterward. Unbelievable power in all facets.

#NotreDame LG Billy Schrauth was an impressive watch even though he was limited to 7 games because of injury. Sturdy anchor, has run displacement ability as a combo and one-on-one blocker, nice strain ability. Has started games at both guard spots.

I caught up with Slippery Rock Football OT Joe Cooper, who got the Shrine Bowl invite yesterday at 11:30 a.m. and flew in last night. He talked to me about his “loyalty” staying with Slippery Rock when he had transfer portal offers from P4 schools and his rushing TD he had last season.

Last season, Saquon Barkley had 1,050 of his 2,005 rushing yards come from shotgun, and a good portion of his long runs were just inside zone attempts. Offensive line did a better job last year working double teams to the second level and getting displacement.

Drew Allar had a couple of really impressive throws climbing the pocket, adjusting his arm slot and hitting back side routes for Penn State against Oregon. First throw is just insane, a must-have throw while he's escaping a sack. Second throw: beautifully layered to Warren.

Was watching #Washington for Jonah Coleman but instead, RT Drew Azzopardi (6-7, 315) stole the show for me. Generated movement off the LOS consistently and did a nice job cutting off backside D-linemen on outsize zones. Got off to a really great start against Colorado State.
