My favorite sleepers for the #NFLDraft QB: Depends on your definition of sleeper. But I’d lean Austin Simmons, Missouri or Katin Houser, Illinois here. RB: Wayne Knight Jr, UCLA WR: How much time ya got? Javon Tracy at Minnesota, Pofele Ashlock at Hawaii, QueSean Brown at VT, I could go on and on. TE: Brett Norfleet, Missouri or Willie Rodriguez, Kentucky OT: Elijah Paige, USC or Jimothy Lewis, Cal Edge: Jordan Ross, LSU or Boubacar Traore, Notre Dame. Would also mention Keyshawn Johnson, Syracuse. DT: CJ Fite, Arizona State LB: Myles Graham, Florida CB: Chris Peal, Syracuse S: Faletau Satuala, BYU
Here are my favorite “Sleepers” for the 2027 NFL Draft Class (so far): QB: Katin Houser (Illinois) RB: Eli Gillman (Montana) WR: Marquis Buchanan (Rhode Island) TE: Willie Rodriguez (Kentucky) OT: Trace Thaden (North Dakota) OG: Eryx Daugherty (Louisville) OC: Joshua Bates (SMU) EDGE: Donnie Smith (Troy) DT: Isaiah Perez (Eastern Washington) LB: Jordan Hall (Michigan State) CB: Jalen Mayo (Houston) S: Ty Bryant (Kentucky)

New from me today: Cupcake matchups are winding down, and conference play will soon dominate the slate. And some of the presumed top players' tape still leaves question marks next to their name. Here, I identified 8 prospects and one question they must answer: 🔗🔽

Seeing a lot of revisionist history on the timeline about Josh Allen. Did we forget his first two seasons in the league: 52.8% comp percentage, 2074 yds, 10 TD-12 INTs thru 12 games. QBR of 49.8 58.8% comp percentage, 3089 yds, 20 TDs, 9 INTs thru 16 games QBR of 49.4 Josh Allen wasn’t the JA we know until year 3. So I’m saying this now, and I want some folks to say it with me: “We have to stop expecting immediate success from rookie QBs, and wanting to move on from them when they struggle early.” All of which I wrote about earlier this week: sparkscouting.substack.com/p… #NFL

What is your most controversial sports take of all time? Like ever? Like if you said this in public you know folks going to look at you crazy but you believe in your heart it’s the truth?

It’s poorly worded by Rudy here, but what he’s describing is: Zone to man - Match Concepts Man to Zone - I call it Banjo, some call it box, some call it switch. Think of a cover 1 with a “banjo” call: Normal C1: CB covers WR Nickel covers Slot C1 Banjo: WR goes inside, nickel takes him. He goes outside, CB takes him. Slot cuts outside, CB takes him. He sticks inside, nickel draws him. Pretty easy stuff to explain, but when he says stuff like this, makes me wonder how much that “defensive phD” is playing into it
