Week 6 Bryce Torneden
Youth Vinny Curry Jerseys , S ,1# Kansas (v. West Virginia, Saturday, 12 PM EST, ESPN2)Kansas football players rarely garner draft hype, but the Jayhawks have a
burgeoning star this year in Bryce Torneden. The junior safety has been a
stalwart on the back end and his services will be in dire need against West
Virginia’s high powered passing attack. Kansas is unlikely to upset the number
nine ranked team in the country, but strong play by Torneden could propel him
into the draft discussion. - NatanMarquise Brown, WR ,5# Oklahoma (v. Texas,
Saturday, 12 PM EST, FOX)The Red River Rivalry is one of this weekend’s most
highly anticipated games. The game is no doubt going to be a high scoring affair
between two top 20 teams. Marquise Brown is Oklahoma’s headlining playmaker on
offense, outside of Kyler Murray of course. The speedy pass catcher has over 500
yards through the air and Texas’ tough defense will be his biggest challenge
yet. - NatanDarnell Savage, S ,1# Maryland (v. Michigan, Saturday, 12 PM EST,
ABC)Excited to see what Savage does against Michigan, man. Folks have been
pumpin’ Savage up as a potential nickelback/safety hybrid player, which is
interesting to me. I enjoyed watching Savage fly to the football against Texas
in Week 1 when I was at FedExField, but I was more impressed with teammate
Antoine Brooks Jr., and his ability as a potential safety/nickel player. My eyes
will be in the Maryland backfield all game — corner Tino Ellis also has some
traits. Jachai Polite, EDGE #99, Florida (v. LSU, Saturday, 3:30 PM EST,
CBS)Polite was a rumble-y sort of player — might be good, probably isn’t there
yet — coming into the season. Then
Youth Wes Hopkins Jerseys , before his battle with a good offensive line in Mississippi State, some buzz started to grow louder: “Man, Polite’s having a
good season, isn’t he?”Then the Bulldogs game — and wow, Polite put on a clinic.
He’s officially on the bulletin board as a riser to watch, and facing an
uber-physical team in LSU is a great way to string together two impact
performances for NFL scouts.Evan Worthington, S #6, Colorado (v. Arizona State,
Saturday, 4 PM EST, PAC12 Network)Colorado’s offense has caught a ton of the
buzz thus far into their surprisingly strong season — but I have eyes on a
couple players on the defensive side of the football in a big match-up against a
good Arizona State team. Worthington is the first — he’s a rangy safety with
really nice size and length who moves surprisingly well in space considering his
frame. I’m not sure he’s a true cover man, but he offers some interchangeable
traits that make him an interesting NFL piece for sure.Drew Lewis, LB #20,
Colorado (v. Arizona State
Youth Malik Jackson Jerseys , Saturday, 4 PM EST, PAC12 Network)Lewis is the other player that really intrigues me on this Colorado defense. He’s one of
Feldman’s freaks from the offseason — at 230, he power cleans 355, hits 1.50 in
the 10-yard split, and broad jumps over 10’. That athleticism shows up on film:
Lewis is super bursty into the contact point as a tackler, and is a good cover
man in space as well. I’ll be interested to see how he handles physicality —
Arizona State really wants to steamroll you with the running game.Tyrel Dodson,
LB #25, Texas A&M (v. Kentucky, Saturday, 7 PM EST, ESPN)Dodson was in the
news cycle last week for...less than great reasons. Not his fault: he was the
player Jimbo Fisher shook by the facemask last week. Woof.But Dodson is a good
player in his own right — he’s a very intelligent backer when he’s lined up
off-ball, and he brings a nice brand of physicality when the Aggies drop him
down to the line as a SAM rusher. I think his brand of football translates
really nicely to handling this Kentucky offensive line
Malik Jackson Jerseys Stitched , and I expect a good game from him.Josh Allen
Malik Jackson Jerseys Stitched , EDGE #41, Kentucky (v. Texas A&M, Saturday, 7 PM EST, ESPN)Kentucky has been a pleasant surprise this year and pass rusher
Josh Allen has been a catalyst for the Wildcats on defense. Allen has a staunch
test this weekend against Texas A&M and their explosive offense. Allen’s
blend of pass rushing and run stopping prowess will be put to task against a
balanced Aggies gameplan. - NatanJonathan Abram, Safety, Mississippi State (v.
Auburn, Saturday, 7:30 PM EST, ESPN2)The Bulldogs defense has star power in
their front seven, but that shine has overpowered the performance of safety
Jonathan Abram. The versatile playmaker has been a quiet stud in Starkville and
will have a tremendous match up against Jarrett Stidham and the Auburn Tigers.
Auburn will try to push the ball downfield all night, giving Abrams plenty of
chances to make memorable moments for NFL evaluators. - NatanBryce Love, Running
Back, Stanford (v. Utah
Herman Edwards Jerseys Stitched , Saturday, 10:30 PM EST, ESPN)Bryce Love was a preseason Heisman favorite but has struggled to meet stratospheric expectations.
After a 2,000 yard rushing campaign in 2017, the senior back is averaging a
modest 4.2 yards per carry early this season. Against Utah, Love has a great
opportunity to make up for lost time and feast on a vulnerable defense. He’s
fallen out of favor with Heisman voters and draft analysts, but Love is still
very much a talented player and he’s due for a big performance. - Natan While
the months of mock drafts and lists of top prospects lead many of us to believe
we have a good handle on how the draft will play out, there are always surprises
once the process actually gets underway.Teams need to be prepared in the event
that things go in an unexpected direction in regard to a player dropping further
than expected or a trade opportunity materializing out of nowhere. Those
possibilities may be part of the reason for one pre-draft meeting the Eagles are
taking on Tuesday.Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that former Houston
defensive lineman Ed Oliver is visiting with the team. The Eagles currently own
the 25th overall pick and Oliver is generally expected to be wearing the cap of
another team by the time that pick comes around, but they’ll be ready should
things wind up playing out differently.Garafolo adds that the Eagles are also
meeting with former Ohio State wide receiver Paris Campbell. He’s likely to be
available at No. 25 and the Eagles hold a pair of second-round picks that could
be used to round out the receiver group.
