I think its ok that he doesn't throw at the combine

Tyler Shough and AJ McCaron

Another random numbers comparison thats just for entertainment purposes: Jaxson Dart & Graham Harrell

Pass rush win rates & pressure rates for EDGE rushers taken in the first round + 2025 EDGEs who could also be taken in the first round this year

From a pure numbers standpoint the Teddy B - Shedeur Sanders comparison is pretty solid (with the exception of sacks)

Can you build the Tyler Shough plane entirely out of play action in breakers (and not screens I guess?)

Kyle McCord: lot of green but intermediate middle and right wasn't great

Jaxson Dart was solid towards the right side of the field & in the short middle of the field which is where you'd find some of those RPO slants

Cam Ward was highly effective in the intermediate part of the field. Couple red marks, particularly on deep shots to the right

Lets spam the timeline with completion percentage over expectation grids, because why not? Up first is Shedeur Sanders, who was effective at all levels down the middle of the field

Highest YPC on rushes outside of the tackles in the PFF College Era (Since 2014, min 200+ att) 1. Darrell Henderson - 7.9 2. Bryce Love - 7.8 3. TreVeyon Henderson - 7.5 4. Travis Etienne - 7.3

Posting these at 10:45 PM so nobody can see them

Thinking back to 2020 when the top 2 teams in Opponent Adjusted EPA/Play were a Sean Lewis led Kent State team and a Lane Leipold led Buffalo team

Top 10 in Pass Rush Win Rate among P5 Dl in the PFF era (since 2014) when lined up at Nose Tackle. Pretty great company to be in for Kenneth Grant imo

Most "explosive" (10+ yard rushes) in the PFF college era (since 2014) on rushes where first contact was at or behind the line of scrimmage: 1. Jonathan Taylor - 25 2. Ashton Jeanty - 24 3. David Montgomery - 23

This is EPA on designed rushes + scrambles & EPA lost on sacks. The goal is really to be above the line, which is QBs who ended up with positive EPA when you add these together. Riley Leonard!

Most rushing attempts without a fumble in the PFF era (since 2014): 1. Kyle Monangai: 670 2. Kareem Hunt: 645 3. Elijah McGuire: 610

8PM listed start time for USA vs. Canada, still 15 mins from actual puck drop

Completion Pct Over Expectation against Man and Zone coverage. Shedeur leads the way for this class, but Max Brosmer vs. zone isn't too far behind

Number of players invited to the combine by school for the entire combine

Most NFL combine invites by school: Ohio State - 15 Georgia - 14 Texas - 14 Oregon - 12 Ole Miss - 11 South Carolina - 11

Here is the Group of 5 EPA Above Average. Leading the way is Captain America Bryson Daily followed by John Mateer, who I am very excited to see at Oklahoma!

Nothing crazy here just EPA - Avg EPA allowed by the defense to get us EPA Above Average. Leading the way in the Power 4 this past season was Cam Ward, Kyle McCord & then Will Howard

2025 TE Class Blocking Grades via PFF (This is not an endorsement of the grades, but just providing one source's eval)

Adding to the TE graphs today with a look at positional versatility (using our favorite shannon entropy) and value (PFF Wins Above Average). Nobody at the Brock Bowers level, but Warren + Fannin are closest

Eagles draft picks by college since 2010 (When Howie Roseman took over as GM). Of course Georgia was number 1, but for the most part its power 5 + blue blood players

Kenny Pickett in the Superbowl on my television screen

The most important thing in American sports today

This has the chance to be the greatest beverage of all time are YOU KIDDING @drpepper

PFF Big time throw & Turnover worthy play rate in true freshman seasons among QBs with 200+ dropbacks in their true freshman season. DJ Lagway👀

*Reposted* Its Super Bowl week which means we can look at each active roster and where they were rated coming out of high school (Plus which school they finished at)

Another viz to highlight which QBs were in offenses with more RPO/Play Action/Screen/Shift/Motions etc. This includes QBs who CFB careers started in 2016 or later. The bulk of the "hits" come from the middle tiers

Shannon entropy with things like RPO/Screen/PA rate etc. with the idea being the higher the number = more snaps in the more schemed up offenses. Dillon Gabriel and Jaxson Dart at the top of this class checks out imo

Lowest target rate in coverage in 2024 among Power 5 CBs with 300+ coverage snaps (PFF): 1. Azareye'h Thomas - 9.6% 2. Travis Hunter - 10.1% 3. OJ Frederique Jr. - 10.7%

PFF Big time throw rate & Turnover worthy play rate on plays outside of the pocket. This is the 2017 - 2025 NFL Draft classes. Kurtis Rourke!!!

Timeline filled with Senior Bowl clips🥹

Completion Pct Over Expectation on passes over the middle of the field vs. outside the numbers among draft prospects from 2017 - 2025 draft classes. Shedeur Sanders stands above all among 2025 QBs

The Bills being done in by mesh after blowing teams off the face of the earth with it all season is just brutal

TRAFFIC MESH FOR THE WIN

Happened in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. Bama player came off the bench to tackle a Rice HB with the ball. Refs awarded Rice the TD.

One of the earliest examples of a "Palpably Unfair Act" before the rule was made. Guy just had too much dawg in him

Im sorry the ref can AWARD A SCORE???

Football is so much more fun to watch when coaches aren’t scared to go for it.
