I have watched college football for 50 seasons. I have never seen a running-back have a better season. 2,628 yards, an average of 238.9 yards per game, with 37 rushing touchdowns. That's in 11 games, Receiving: 19 receptions, 106 yards-Returns: 21 Kick returns, 421 yards, 1 TD-
Just how many WRs do you realistically expect to be selected in the 1st round? I have a sneaking suspicion that the number will be lower than most of

Raise a ruckus and demand a social, intellectual evaluation. My mother got my baby sister into Kindergarten eventhough she didn’t turn 5 until the 17th of January. She tested at a 3rd grade level.

In what way has he created a system of hierarchies and societal structures that disadvantage an entire race of people? That's what racism is, it's not mere prejudice or simple bigotry.
He was a really good HS student as well, he was a very good basketball player he and Vinny Del Negro are fairly close on the all-time scorers list at his HS, and is an interesting human being, he'll do very well in interviews.

I don't believe it is, but just as with your own family, you can love your family and still recognize all of it's flaws. It's possible to love the US and still demand change. In fact, perhaps pushing to perfect your nation is the ultimate act of love.

to your QB watchlists. He is accurate, the Maryland&VMI transfer was 1 of 2 QBs in PA HS history to pass for 4,000+. He passed for 7,877 at VMI and 3,614 as a Spider in 2022 on 378 of 515, 29 TDs and 5 INTs. He has an NFL frame.
What perhaps needs to be said is, at times, substance abuse is more a symptom than the underlying issue. Drugs and alcohol can be an attempt to self-medicate for the problem that is motivating the abuse. I don't know his struggle, but I root for him to win.
All I'll say is that outside of Randy Moss, Josh Gordon has the most unbelievable skill set to play the receiver position I've ever seen, and I hope he finds peace.

I remember when I wrote Kellen Moore's per-draft scouting report, my last line was "future NFL OC." He's on the fast track to the top of the profession.
The more I watch Kellen Moore's game plan for Dak Prescott, the more I'm impressed.
-Start out with short quick reads to get in a rhythm.
-Motion to help discern coverage.
-Intelligent play action to anticipate who will take the bait/route concepts that will benefit.

I survived actual combat, but I watched Julius Peppers in a practice shortly after he came to the Bears. If that man hits you flush and he's going full out wow! Nobody who's "soft" faces that.
Slender build, lacks explosive arm pop and struggles to fight through contact in the pocket, but high character, strong leader and tough despite his wispy build. Those are notes I had on watching him play at Idaho.

The only concern I have is guys who took a great deal of big hits and/or injuries. He's not beat up, the HOF is filled with guys who had huge numbers of college carries.
Jonathan Taylor had the fastest 40 time of the RBs with a 4.39. That's blazing for a 5'10" 226lb man.
We all know the skill set is there, but do you have any concern on the mileage on his legs/body? He had 968 touches in college.
