The Philadelphia Eagles traveled to Nashville for a game against the Tennessee Titans in week 4 in which the two teams would exchange haymakers for four quarters and nearly an entire overtime. Both teams had made the playoffs in 2017 and were holding 2-1 records entering the contest. The two quarterbacks had already missed time…

The “How Were They Built” series is a 32-part set of pieces showcasing how each team’s roster in the National Football League was constructed. I’ll dive into how the players were acquired, either by trade, the draft, or free agency, how much money is spent on each position, and give a brief summary of the…
The Utah Utes have been one of the most consistent college football programs across the country in the last few years, and are consistently underrated by national outlets, as they have begun each of the last three season unranked and finished all three seasons in the Top 25. The Utah Utes offense is heavily based…
In 2016 I watched many cornerback prospects, but rather than rank them sequentially I wrote up my cornerback “superlatives,” ranking players in various categories. Florida’s Quincy Wilson and Colorado’s Chidobe Awuzie are very different styles of players, and it’s almost nonsensical to rate one as “better” than the other. These categories paint a better picture…
Series Introduction: A scheme fit is when a player’s traits and abilities line up with a certain coach’s style and scheme.

Before the 2017 NFL Combine officially begins I wanted to get out a top 10 at each position to get discussion going and to show where I’m at in my process. Film and background has been gathered on all 110 prospects below, but athletic testing and measurements are vital to the scouting process, so the…
Now that I’ve had time to sit back and reflect on my first pass at a mock draft this offseason, which was discussed on air during a recent episode of Pylon U, I gave it a revision before unleashing it on the masses. There is no absolute in constructing a mock draft. There is no…
Welcome to my first mock draft of the season, where you are encouraged to slay me for each and every pick without reading my analysis or acknowledging the fact that it is February 6 and there is much we do not know! I’ve accentuated your criticism by making this a “what-I-would-do” mock draft, providing my…
During what head coach Rich Rodriguez termed an “awful year” the Arizona Wildcats have struggled on both sides of the football, ranking 75th and 113th in total offense and defense, respectively. While injuries at the quarterback position and a lack of continuity across the team have contributed to the team’s dismal 2-9 record through 11…
