Shawn Siegele examines the 2022 NFL combine results for small-school stars Skyy Moore and Jalen Tolbert, including an under-the-radar element that adds sparkle to their profiles. We’ve been looking at big combine stories this week, from Winners and Losers at RB and WR, to the Freak Score stars, and the key athletic comps for top prospects. Ben Gretch and I broke down all of the…...

Shawn Siegele uses the NFL Workout Explorer to evaluate all the physical comps for top prospects in the 2022 NFL draft. The 2022 NFL combine came along and did what it always does; it dramatically altered the landscape. The top prospects generally moved up, and while RB continues to look relatively thin, the WR position is now populated with sleeper options galore. Travis May’s Combine…...

The NFL Combine is wrapped up for the offensive players. We have all this athletic testing data. But what does it mean? Here at Rotoviz we’ll spend the next few months helping you understand the interaction of production and athleticism, but today we need to recalibrate how the NFL will likely value some of the big winners and losers. We’ve reported the Freak Score results…...

Shawn Siegele looks at the WR Freak Scores for the NFL’s fastest combine class ever. If you’ve been compiling picks for the maligned 2022 rookie draft, you got what you wanted on Thursday. A record eight WRs ran below 4.4 at the 2022 NFL combine, and several of the other big names also ran well. Many of these players will start rising on draft boards…....

The NFL combine is here! Every year millions of football fans tune in to watch the “Underwear Olympics” of the NFL to see just how athletic all their favorite incoming rookies are. And every year there’s hot debate as to which metrics matter. The truth of it? Most of the NFL combine metrics generate very little measurable statistical signal in terms of predicting future outcomes…...

This year’s quarterback class is already slated to be one of the most controversial in recent memory. From the athletic upside of Malik Willis (Liberty), to the complete opposite with Carson Strong. From the early elite analytical success of Sam Howell, to the bizarre fifth-year breakout for Kenny Pickett. And then there’s the near perfect peak performance of Matt Corral contrasted with the long-term but…...

Kadarius Toney was the fourth receiver off the board in the 2021 NFL Draft. Outside of two big games in Weeks 4 and 5, Toney’s rookie season was one in which he struggled to stay on the field. In July 2021, Toney had COVID-19, then an undisclosed injury in the preseason that later became a hamstring injury. Within the first few weeks of the regular…...

It’s been clear for quite some time that the 2022 NFL Draft Class wouldn’t exactly be “stacked” at the running back position. Breece Hall (Iowa State), Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M), Kenneth Walker III (Michigan State), and Kyren Williams (Notre Dame) seem to be perceived as the consensus top four right now. But who are some names outside of the obvious that we should be targeting…...

While we may not get a Kyle Pitts in this class — or in any class for a long while — that doesn’t mean that we won’t have some fun tight ends joining the league here soon. In fact, the 2022 NFL Draft is deep at the tight end position. There may not be an elite no-brainer first-round talent, but there are at least five…...

Not too many draft classes have several small-school wide receivers in the mix for top-100 (Days 1 and 2) NFL Draft capital, especially in recent years. In fact, there have only been three receivers selected that early in the last three NFL Drafts who didn’t play in Power Five Conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC 12). However, the 2022 wide receiver class could…...
