College Football Running Back Sleeper | UNLV's Jai'Den Thomas
Jai'Den Thomas averaged 7 yards per carry last season, ran for 1,000 yards, and scored 12 touchdowns. Only five running backs in the entire country who carried the ball 100+ times matched that yards-per-carry number. So why isn't anyone talking about him? In this video, I break down exactly what makes the UNLV running back such an exciting player: the lateral agility and vision at the line of scrimmage that sets up everything else, the open-field elusiveness that makes him impossible to get an angle on in the second level, and the straight-line acceleration that turns good runs into home runs. I also cover the one thing Jai'Den Thomas needs to clean up in 2026 — finding the balance between patience and decisiveness at the line of scrimmage — and why fixing it could push him into the national conversation. Remember, a Mountain West running back finished second in the Heisman not too long ago. 00:00 Introduction 00:25 Line of Scrimmage 1:22 Second Level 3:20 Area for Improvement 4:15 Wrap-Up Know an under-the-radar college football player I should cover?

The Best Defensive Player in College Football? | Colin Simmons Player Profile
Colin Simmons might be the best player in college football — and 2026 is the season he proves it beyond any doubt. In this video, I break down what makes the Texas edge rusher such an elite prospect: the best first step in the entire country (and why it's about anticipation, not just athleticism), the instinctive pass rushing approach that offensive tackles simply have no answer for, and why he's just as dangerous against the run as he is as a pass rusher. I also set three goals for Colin Simmons in 2026 — keeping his offsides penalties in check, reaching 11 sacks to crack Texas's all-time top three, and leaving zero doubt that he's the first edge rusher off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft. 00:00 Introduction 00:22 First Step 1:50 Pass Rushing Instincts 3:42 Run Defense 4:38 2026 Season Goals Drop a comment with who you want broken down next.

2027 NFL Draft Wide Receiver Preview | 3 Names You Know and 3 You Should Know
The 2027 NFL Draft wide receiver class is as good as advertised — and today I'm breaking down the six names you need to have on your radar right now. I split this into two groups. The first three are established producers already trending toward the first round: Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State), Cam Coleman (Texas), and KJ Duff (Rutgers). The second group are guys with real upside who need one more season of polish: Nick Marsh (Indiana), Mario Craver (Texas A&M), and a sleeper almost nobody is talking about in Cooper Barkate (Miami). Fair warning — the first list is meant to be controversial. If you think I snubbed somebody, drop it in the comments. 00:00 Introduction 1:06 Jeremiah Smith 3:58 Cam Coleman 8:11 KJ Duff 11:54 Nick Marsh 13:31 Mario Craver 16:38 Cooper Barkate 19:12 Wrap-Up Edge rushers of the 2027 class are coming in two weeks. In the meantime, individual breakdowns on Jeremiah Smith, Cam Coleman, KJ Duff, Dylan Stewart, and Jayden Maiava are already up on the channel. Let me know who you think I snubbed.

USC's Next First Round QB? | Jayden Maiava Player Profile
Jayden Maiava could have entered the 2026 NFL Draft and quietly worked his way into the first round. Instead, he's coming back to USC — and now he has to earn it against the most loaded QB class in years. In this video, I break down what makes the USC quarterback such an intriguing prospect: his elite quick release that maximizes every weapon around him, his underrated pocket presence and anticipation under pressure, his off-script ability to extend plays and find receivers on scramble drills, and a deep ball built on touch and placement rather than pure arm strength. I also cover what's holding Jayden Maiava back from locking up that first round grade (decision-making and ball security) and set three goals for his 2026 season — cutting turnovers, keeping the easy things easy with a younger receiving corps, and standing out in a stacked 2027 QB class. 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Release 1:52 Pocket Presence 3:12 Deep Ball 4:00 Decision Making 5:05 2026 Season Goals Let me know who you want broken down next.

Is this WR Poised for his Best Season Yet? | Cam Coleman Player Profile
Cam Coleman was productive at Auburn. But his production has never matched his talent — and that's about to change at Texas. In this video, I break down why the Texas Longhorns WR is an early first round talent: his dominance at the catch point, the vertical speed that lives in defenders' heads all game long, his fluid hips as a route runner, and what he can do after the catch that most people are sleeping on. I also cover the one area he needs to clean up (his release off the line) and set three goals for his 2026 season — including doubling his career yards after the catch, and winning the SEC with Arch Manning. With his best quarterback situation, 2026 is the year Cam Coleman shows everyone what he's capable of. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Ball Skills 1:04 Vertical Threat 1:34 Route Running 2:05 RAC Ability 3:09 Release 3:38 2026 Goals Let me know who you want broken down next.

Dynamic EDGE With Rare Mix of Traits | South Carolina's Dylan Stewart
Dylan Stewart might be the most terrifying edge rusher in college football — and he's only getting started. In this video, I break down exactly what makes the South Carolina EDGE such a nightmare for offensive tackles: the elite twitch and short-area quickness that makes it impossible to know whether he's going inside or outside, his underrated effectiveness as a run defender, and how his bull rush is quietly becoming a weapon. I also cover the one thing holding Dylan Stewart back from being truly dominant in 2026 (conditioning in the 2nd and 4th quarter) and set three goals for his upcoming season — including doubling his career sack total with 11 sacks. If he gets there, the conversation about him going top 5 in the 2027 NFL Draft gets a whole lot louder. 00:00 Introduction 00:18 Twitch 1:36 Bull Rush 2:32 Run Defense 3:35 Conditioning 4:30 2026 Season Goals Drop a comment with who you want broken down next.

The 6'6" WR Everybody is Sleeping On | KJ Duff Player Profile
KJ Duff is quietly one of the most complete wide receivers in college football — and most people don't even know his name yet. In this video, I break down exactly why the Rutgers Scarlet Knights sophomore WR is a matchup nightmare: his elite release off the line, his ability to threaten defenses vertically at 6'6" 225 lbs, and why his combination of size AND athleticism is rare at any level of football. I also cover what KJ Duff needs to improve in 2026 (route violence at the top of breaks) and set three goals for him this season — including a shot at becoming the second all-time receiving leader in Rutgers history behind Kenny Britt. 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Release 1:08 Vertical Threat 2:27 Run Blocking 2:50 Route Running 3:23 2026 Goals If you want me to break down another college football player — freshman, sophomore, junior, whoever — drop a name in the comments.

Jeremiah Smith Player Profile | Best CFB WR Since?
Jeremiah Smith might be the most exciting wide receiver prospect college football has ever seen — and 2026 could be his defining season. In this video, I break down why the Ohio State WR is such an elite talent: the rare combination of size (6'3", 220 lbs) and explosiveness that makes him nearly impossible to cover off the line, his elite ball skills and vertical threat ability, and how he dominates after the catch. I also set three goals for Jeremiah Smith in 2026 — 1,300 receiving yards, a Heisman Trophy, and the #1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. If he pulls that off, he'd be the first receiver to go first overall since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996. 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Size/Explosiveness 1:22 Ball Skills 1:59 Vertical Threat 2:46 Route Running/RAC 3:33 2026 Season Goals Drop a comment with who you want me to break down next — I don't care if they're a freshman or a senior, any college football player you want covered, I'll get to it. #JeremiahSmith #OhioState #CollegeFootball #Buckeyes #WideReceiver #CFB2026 #NFLDraft2027 #FootballFilmStudy #Heisman

RB, WR, or Both? | Eli Heidenreich Draft Evaluation
Eli Heidenreich might be one of the most difficult players to evaluate in the 2026 NFL Draft class. At Navy, he lined up everywhere — running back, wide receiver, slot, wing back — and produced at a high level in a flexbone-style offense that rarely translates directly to the NFL. With nearly 2,000 career receiving yards (a Navy record) and over 1,200 rushing yards, Heidenreich brings rare versatility and elite feel in space. Most of his touches came on the perimeter, where his vision, blocking instincts, and ability to create without elite athleticism consistently showed up on film. But projecting him to the next level raises questions: Can he develop as an in-between-the-tackles runner? Does his frame limit him as a receiver? Where does he fit best at the NFL level? This breakdown dives into his role at Navy, his strengths as a hybrid weapon, and how teams could maximize his unique skill set. Evaluate Eli Heidenreich and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Zion Young Draft Evaluation | Missouri EDGE Film Breakdown
Zion Young brings elite size, strength, and production to the table after a standout season at Missouri. At 6’6”, 262 pounds, Young combines a devastating bull rush with violent hands and the ability to set the edge as a run defender. In this film breakdown, we dive into: His dominant power rush and upper-body strength How he uses hand technique to disengage and attack Flashes of speed and bend off the edge Areas for improvement in his pass rush plan Why he projects as a Day 2 pick with first-round upside After transferring from Michigan State, Young put together a highly productive 2025 season with 6.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss, showing he can impact the game on all three downs. His versatility and physicality make him one of the more intriguing EDGE prospects in this class. Evaluate Zion Young and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

John Michael Gyllenborg Draft Evaluation | Wyoming TE Film Breakdown
Wyoming tight end John Michael Gyllenborg brings intriguing athletic upside to the 2025 NFL Draft class after testing in the 94th percentile among tight ends over the last two decades. With a 4.64 40-yard dash, explosive change of direction, and vertical field-stretching ability, Gyllenborg flashes real potential as a receiving threat. Across three primary seasons of action, Gyllenborg totaled 80 receptions, over 1,000 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns, showing his ability to impact the passing game. His release off the line and acceleration allow him to attack seams and generate chunk plays, while his fluid movement skills make him dangerous after the catch in space. While the athletic tools are clear, refinement is still needed. Gyllenborg remains a developing route runner who must become more sudden and deceptive to consistently separate at the next level. As a blocker, he currently struggles with engagement, play strength, and consistency—making this the biggest area for improvement moving forward. With a high ceiling as a receiving tight end and developmental upside as an inline player, Gyllenborg projects as a Day 3 option with room to grow into a valuable offensive weapon.

Sam Roush Draft Evaluation | Run Blocking TE with Athleticism
Sam Roush played four seasons at Stanford and brings a unique skill set to the 2026 NFL Draft class as a true inline tight end. At 6’6”, 267 pounds, Roush stands out as one of the few tight ends in this class capable of consistently playing with his hand in the dirt and functioning as a sixth offensive lineman. As a run blocker, Roush excels with strong pad level, lower body power, and refined technique. He consistently creates movement at the point of attack and shows advanced awareness when climbing to the second level. His athletic profile also stands out, including a 4.74 forty and a 38.5-inch vertical, allowing him to execute across the formation and contribute in multiple blocking schemes. However, arm length (30 5/8”) is a major limitation, particularly in zone blocking situations where sustaining blocks is critical. While he shows flashes as a receiver—posting 545 yards in 2025 and demonstrating situational awareness—he remains a developing route runner with inconsistent ball skills and limited catch radius. Roush projects best in a power-based offensive scheme where his strength and initial engagement ability can shine. With technical refinement as a receiver, he could develop into a more complete tight end at the next level. Evaluate Sam Roush and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Rueben Bain Jr Draft Evaluation | Miami EDGE Film Breakdown
Rueben Bain Jr exploded onto the scene with 7.5 sacks as a freshman and followed it up with a dominant 2025 campaign, earning All-American honors and reestablishing himself as one of the top defensive prospects in college football. In this full scouting breakdown, we analyze what makes Bain such a force at the line of scrimmage—from his elite power, low pad level, and violent hands as a run defender to his devastating bull rush and ability to collapse the pocket. His compact frame and strength make him a true three-down defender, capable of impacting games immediately at the next level. But there’s one major concern: arm length. Measuring in the .7 percentile, Bain’s lack of length raises real questions about his ceiling as a pass rusher and how NFL teams will deploy him. Can coaching and scheme unlock his full potential? This video covers: Run defense dominance Power rushing ability Pass rush counters off the bull rush Arm length concerns and NFL projection Final draft grade and ideal usage Evaluate Rueben Bain Jr. and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

In this film breakdown, we dive into Bell’s strengths as a ball carrier, his release package, and how his physical frame translates to the next level.Bell’s ability after the catch stands out immediately—he’s elusive in space, difficult to bring down, and builds speed as he gets moving. We also evaluate his release off the line, where he shows impressive control and the ability to avoid contact early in routes. At the catch point, Bell flashes solid tracking ability, though his stiffness can limit his adjustment range.We also break down areas for improvement, including route-running sharpness and separation at the top of routes.

Darrell Jackson Jr Draft Evaluation | DT with Rare Physical Traits
Darrell Jackson Jr. is one of the most physically imposing defensive tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft class. At over 6’5” and around 335 lbs on film, Jackson brings rare size, length, and lower-body strength that make him a true force against the run.In this breakdown, we take a closer look at how Jackson uses his strength to anchor at the line of scrimmage, absorb double teams, and collapse running lanes. His ability to control offensive linemen and occupy space makes him a prototypical nose tackle with high upside at the next level.While his pass rushing remains limited due to a slower first step and lack of explosiveness, his power consistently shows up when collapsing the pocket over time. Jackson projects as a scheme-dependent interior defender who can dominate early downs and develop further with improved technique.Evaluate Darrell Jackson Jr. and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Adam Randall Draft Evaluation | Big RB with 1 Year of Experience
Adam Randall is one of the most unique prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class. At 6’3”, 230 lbs, the former Clemson wide receiver transitioned to running back in 2025 and immediately produced with 814 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns, and added value as a receiver out of the backfield. In this film breakdown, we dive into what makes Randall such an intriguing evaluation. His rare blend of size and explosiveness shows up immediately, especially with his ability to make a decisive first cut and accelerate into the second level. With a 4.5 forty at 230 pounds, he becomes a serious problem once he builds momentum. However, as a first-year running back, there are still areas to develop. Vision, timing, and processing speed behind the line of scrimmage remain inconsistent, and his upright frame can limit leverage in tight spaces. Still, the upside is clear—especially on third downs where his receiving background and pass protection potential add value. This is a high-upside, developmental prospect with a unique profile that could pay off in the right system. Evaluate Adam Randall and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

DT With Historic Combine Performance | Uar Bernard Draft Evaluation

Kaleb Proctor Draft Evaluation | FCS DT with 9 Sacks in 2025
Kaleb Proctor, a defensive tackle out of Southeastern Louisiana, is one of the more intriguing small-school prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. After a 9-sack season and a strong showing at the East-West Shrine Bowl, Proctor carried that momentum into the NFL Combine where he tested extremely well for a 290-pound interior defender. In this breakdown, Proctor flashes elite explosiveness off the line with a quick first step and the ability to win with active, violent hands. His short-area quickness allows him to attack both shoulders of offensive linemen, making him a disruptive interior pass rusher. Against LSU, he showed he can compete with higher-level talent and still create pressure. While his pass rush upside is clear, Proctor is still developing strength, particularly as a power rusher and run defender. At this stage, he projects best as a rotational interior pass rusher with the potential to expand his role as he adds strength at the next level.

We also take a detailed look at the biggest area for improvement in his game: route running.

AJ Haulcy Draft Evaluation | Physical Safety Film Breakdown
AJ Haulcy has been one of the most productive defensive backs in college football, making stops at New Mexico, Houston, and LSU before earning First-Team All-SEC honors in 2025. Across his career, Haulcy totaled 10 interceptions, 19 pass breakups, and 347 tackles — rare production for a safety. What stands out immediately is Haulcy’s elite zone instincts. He consistently reads quarterbacks, anticipates routes, and puts himself in position to make plays on the football. His awareness and film study show up every Saturday, allowing him to react quickly without overcommitting. At 215 pounds, Haulcy brings a physical edge that separates him from many defensive backs. He thrives in run support, delivers impactful hits, and plays with an aggressive downhill mentality. His blend of instincts and physicality makes him especially valuable closer to the line of scrimmage or in split-safety looks. While he may not project as a true single-high safety due to long speed limitations, and his man coverage ability remains a question mark, Haulcy’s strengths make him an intriguing NFL prospect in the right scheme. Cleaning up angles and maintaining control in pursuit will be key areas for development. Overall, AJ Haulcy offers a rare combination of production, instincts, and physical presence that should translate well to the next level.

Robert Henry Jr Draft Evaluation | UTSA RB Film Breakdown
Robert Henry Jr. is one of the most underrated running backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Late Round Diamond in the Rough RB | Coleman Bennett Draft Evaluation
Coleman Bennett might be one of the most overlooked running backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class. After stops at Bucknell and Rice, Bennett broke out at Kennesaw State, playing a key role in their Conference USA Championship run. At 5’11”, 200 pounds, Bennett brings elite lateral agility and quick-cut ability, allowing him to explode through cutback lanes and create space at the second level. His acceleration makes defenders pay when they take poor angles, and he adds value as a receiver out of the backfield with improved hands. However, there are areas for development. His decision-making can be inconsistent, sometimes leaving yards on the field or getting too lateral instead of getting north-south. Combined with his age and experience, that could impact his draft stock despite intriguing traits. Bennett projects best in a zone scheme where his agility can shine, and he currently carries a late-round (6th round) draft grade with upside to outperform that value.

Eli Stowers Draft Evaluation | Freak Athlete Tight End
Eli Stowers is one of the most unique offensive weapons in the 2026 NFL Draft class. The Vanderbilt tight end began his college career as a quarterback at Texas A&M before transitioning to tight end at New Mexico State and eventually transferring to Vanderbilt, where he became one of the most productive receiving tight ends in the SEC. At 6’4”, 239 pounds, Stowers brings rare athletic traits for the position. He ran a 4.51 forty-yard dash and recorded a 45.5-inch vertical jump at the combine — one of the best jumps ever recorded across any position. That explosiveness shows up on film with impressive change-of-direction ability, vertical speed down the seam, and dangerous run-after-catch ability. While he only played tight end for three seasons and is still developing as a route runner, the upside is clear. Stowers operates more like a big slot receiver or hybrid pass catcher than a traditional inline tight end, creating matchup problems for both linebackers and defensive backs. In this film breakdown, we look at: Elite athletic traits and combine testing Route running flashes and areas for refinement Vertical threat ability Run-after-catch explosiveness Catch-point ability and ball skills Overall NFL Draft projection Evaluate Eli Stowers and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Christen Miller Draft Evaluation | Georgia DL Film Breakdown
Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller brings a powerful combination of size, leverage, and explosiveness to the defensive front. At 6'4", 320 pounds, Miller consistently wins at the line of scrimmage with a strong lower body, violent hands, and an impressive first step that forces offensive linemen backward and disrupts run plays before they develop.While his stat totals at Georgia may not immediately stand out, the film shows a different story. Miller regularly collapses the line of scrimmage, creating traffic in the backfield and freeing linebackers to make plays. His ability to drive blockers into the backfield and control leverage makes him one of the more disruptive run defenders in the class.Beyond run defense, Miller flashes intriguing upside as an interior pass rusher. His bull rush can collapse the pocket and force quarterbacks off their spot, and with further development in pass rush moves and hand usage, he could become a valuable interior disruptor on passing downs.In this film breakdown, we analyze Miller’s frame, get-off, hand usage, athleticism, run defense, pass rush potential, and overall NFL projection heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.Evaluate Christen Miller and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Trey Moore Draft Evaluation | Speed Rusher with 30 Career Sacks
Trey Moore began his college career as one of the most productive pass rushers in the country at UTSA, recording 22 sacks and 35 tackles for loss over two seasons before transferring to Texas. While his role changed in Austin, Moore still showed traits that translate to the next level as an intriguing NFL Draft prospect. At 6'2, 243 pounds, Moore doesn’t have the traditional size of an NFL edge rusher, but he makes up for it with elite athleticism. His explosive first step and flexibility allow him to bend around the corner and generate pressure quickly. That burst off the line consistently puts offensive tackles in recovery mode. Moore also brings a deep pass-rush toolbox. He combines speed off the edge with spin moves, inside counters, and a clear plan of attack when rushing the quarterback. His motor and tenacity stand out on film, as he consistently chains moves together and plays with relentless effort. Another intriguing aspect of Moore’s game is his versatility. Texas moved him around the defensive front and even used him off the ball at times. His athleticism allows him to execute stunts, blitz from depth, and attack gaps in creative ways. The biggest question for Moore at the next level revolves around his role on early downs. His frame makes it difficult to consistently set the edge against the run as a traditional defensive end, which raises the possibility of transitioning into more of an off-ball linebacker or hybrid pass-rushing role in the NFL.

Jordyn Tyson Draft Evaluation | Elite Do-It-All WR
Jordyn Tyson emerged as one of the most exciting wide receivers in college football during his time at Arizona State. The 6'2 receiver began his career at Colorado before transferring to the Sun Devils in 2023, where he developed into a dynamic playmaker and a rising NFL Draft prospect. In this film breakdown, we analyze what makes Tyson such a complete receiver. His explosive release off the line immediately creates separation, allowing him to consistently win early in routes. Tyson is also an advanced route runner who snaps in and out of breaks with suddenness, making him difficult for defenders to stay attached to. At the catch point, Tyson uses his 6'2 frame well by attacking the football and extending away from his body. His improvement in ball security and consistency shows up on tape, and his athleticism allows him to make difficult catches look routine. After the catch, Tyson becomes a dangerous ball carrier. His instincts, short-area quickness, and ability to change direction allow him to create additional yards and turn simple completions into bigger gains. The biggest question surrounding Tyson entering the NFL Draft is durability. Injuries during his college career limited his availability at times, but when he’s on the field, the tape clearly shows a high-level wide receiver prospect with the traits to succeed at the next level.

Brandon Cisse Draft Evaluation | Young CB With High Ceiling
Brandon Cisse is one of the youngest and most athletic defensive backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class. The South Carolina cornerback previously spent two seasons at NC State and entered the draft at just 20 years old, bringing rare developmental upside. In this film breakdown, we analyze Brandon Cisse’s explosiveness, hip fluidity, long speed, and coverage ability. His 41-inch vertical and 131-inch broad jump highlight the elite athletic traits that show up on tape, especially when driving on routes or recovering downfield in coverage. While Cisse’s athletic profile is outstanding, the film also shows areas for growth. Developing better timing, improving ball skills, and gaining experience in zone coverage will be key areas as he transitions to the NFL. With elite physical traits and plenty of time to develop, Cisse is a high-upside defensive back prospect who could become a very impactful NFL player with the right development.

Ola Ioane Draft Evaluation | First Round Guard?
Ola Ioane is one of the most physically powerful interior offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft class. The Penn State offensive guard stands 6'4", 320 pounds and already shows the traits teams look for in a starting NFL guard.In pass protection, Ioane combines strong footwork, balance, and elite grip strength that makes it extremely difficult for defensive linemen to disengage once he gets his hands inside. His lower body strength allows him to consistently drop anchor against bull rushes, while his patience in pass sets keeps him in position against interior counters.As a run blocker, Ioane’s upper body power shows up on tape. He thrives in gap schemes where he can use his strength on down blocks, pull blocks, and kick-outs to create movement at the point of attack. His ability to take smart angles when climbing to the second level also helps maximize his athleticism.While Ioane may not have elite lateral agility in space, his patience and technique help mitigate that limitation in pass protection. When kept within his strengths, he projects as a powerful and reliable interior offensive lineman at the next level.This breakdown covers Ioane’s pass protection, run blocking, strengths, weaknesses, and where he could land in the 2026 NFL Draft.Evaluate Ola Ioane and view other draft grades on We-Draft.com.

Jake Golday Draft Evaluation | Cincinnati Linebacker Film Breakdown
Jake Golday is a 6’4.5”, 239-pound linebacker who spent two seasons at Cincinnati after transferring from Central Arkansas, and his combine testing backed up what shows on tape. In this breakdown, we run through Golday’s athletic profile (4.62 40, 39" vertical, 125" broad), how Cincinnati deployed him across the defense (off-ball, overhang, and even split out), and what that explosiveness looks like when he triggers downhill and closes in a straight line. We also dive into the physical side of his game—taking on blocks, using length and violent hands to shed, and bringing mass to contact—before getting into the areas that can show up in space: pad level, lateral agility, and the timing/urgency in pass drops.

Drew Allar Draft Evaluation | First Rounder Despite Injury?
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar entered the 2025 season with significant NFL Draft buzz, but an ankle injury against Northwestern cut his year short. Despite that setback, Allar still showed the physical traits that NFL teams covet in a franchise quarterback. At 6'5", 230 pounds, Allar brings prototypical NFL size and elite arm strength to the position. His ability to generate velocity allows him to attack tight throwing windows and deliver the football quickly when his first read is open. He also shows functional athleticism, moving well inside the pocket and extending plays when pressure breaks down protection. However, Allar’s evaluation comes with notable developmental questions. His lower-body mechanics can become inconsistent, which affects velocity and accuracy when throwing under pressure. Touch and ball placement on layered throws downfield also fluctuate, and his decision-making can decline when working beyond his first progression. Because of his combination of physical traits and developmental areas, Allar projects as a high-upside quarterback prospect who may benefit from time to develop before becoming a full-time NFL starter.
