Player Profile Name: Jameson Williams School: Alabama Crimson Tide Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: WR Height: 6016 Weight: 189 Year: Junior Jersey Number: 1 (Alabama), 6 (Ohio State) Offensive Scheme: Pro Style Spread/Multiple West Coast Offensive Coordinator: Bill O'Brien (Alabama), Ryan Day, Kevin Wilson (Ohio State) Games Reviewed: 2021 Georgia, 2021 Auburn, 2021 Southern Miss, 2021 Miami, 2021 LSU Position Specific Critical Factors Hands (7) Very Good The best WR's in football display great hands; they can snatch or pluck the football when in tight coverage or the wide-open field. Some receivers use their bodies when catching and therefore need more development as hands catchers. Separation (8) Near Elite A player's ability to separate from a defender while running a route is dependent on his ability to run a precise and clean route. Separation is not just the prospect's ability to separate with speed, but his ability to run several routes at a high level. The prospect's ability to sell a route to get a defender out of position is also a key way for a player to gain separation. Players with a limited route tree can make it easier for defenders to predict their route running tendencies. The ability to use their body to box out is another way to gain separation. After Catch Ability (8) Near Elite A running back with the football in their hands, receivers who can catch a football and make defenders miss in open space, or that can break tackles is a commodity at the highest level of football: high-level WR's show elusiveness, strength, speed, and display toughness after the catch. Key Strengths Smooth Route Runner Elite Speed After Catch Ability Key Weaknesses Improve Run Blocking Concentration Drops (Nit Picking) Pass Game Summary In 2021, Jameson Williams displayed his high-level speed and versatility at the WR position. At Alabama, Williams played most of his snaps at the Z or in the slot allowing him to get a free release. Williams can play the on-ball role when needed at the next level due to his quick release and hand usage, but he needs to improve his strength to win against more physical NFL defenders. Williams is a savvy and smooth route runner; he can win underneath with slants, in-cuts, and curl routes. He does a great job locating the open areas of the field when facing zone coverage. He can win against man coverage either by taking the top off with pure speed, using a double move, or quickly stemming a deep route into an open area to separate from a defender. Williams is excellent after-the-catch. He can make defenders miss in space, or a condensed area, or he can beat them to a spot with pure speed. He shows good strength to break tackles and pick up a few extra yards when needed. Jameson Williams displays good to great concentration when locating the football on deep throws. He can track the football at a high level and make adjustments mid-route to put himself in a position to make a play. Run Game Summary In the run game, Williams is versatile. He can handle jet sweeps and end-around plays, using his speed to beat defenders to the edge. Once in the open field, he is as dynamic as any player in the open field. Williams must improve his strength to move defenders at the NFL level as a blocker. He does a good job getting in the way of defenders to shield them from the ball carrier. Final Analysis Jameson Williams projects as a top 15 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. His speed, route running ability, and overall versatility as an athlete that defenses must respect are what sets him apart. Williams is also a gunner on special teams, who competes with just as much enthusiasm as a gunner on punt coverage as he does when he scores on an explosive play at the WR position. Williams is also a dynamic and explosive kick returner. Once at the NFL level, Williams will need to improve his overall strength, which will help him to defeat physical NFL level DB's when challenged in press coverage. Williams has successfully beaten press coverage at the college level using initial speed and quickness. If he only improves marginally, He will quickly separate himself from all of the WR's in this talented 2022 class.

Player Profile Name: Kenneth Walker III School: Wake Forest Demon Deacons / Michigan State Spartans Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: RB Height: 5090 Weight: 210 Year: Junior Jersey Number: 9/25 Offensive Scheme: (Multiple/Run Heavy Michigan State), (Spread/RPO Wake Forest) Offensive Coordinator: Jay Johnson Michigan State, Warren Ruggiero Wake Forest Games Reviewed: 2021 Michigan, 2021 Ohio State, 2021 Rutgers, 2020 Virginia Position Specific Critical Factors Vision: (7) Very Good Ability to run to daylight and gain positive yardage. Running without hesitation, seeing cut-back lanes, patience to follow blocks, finding open seams, creating something out of nothing, ability to set up blockers. Contact Balance: (9) Near Elite Ability to maintain his balance in traffic, bounce off of would-be tacklers and continue to advance the football. This grade should reflect his ability to play with a low center of gravity, strength, balance, and foot coordination to keep plays alive amidst contact and foot trash. Pass Game Impact: (6) Good Combination of his ability to make plays out of the backfield as a receiver, catching skill, and pick-up defenders in pass pro. Key Strengths Vision/Patience Burst/Short Area Quicks Contact Balance Key Weaknesses Routes Out Of Backfield Pass Pro Pass Game Summary Kenneth Walker's limited usage as a pass-catcher in his two seasons at Wake Forest and in 2021 at Michigan State does not conclude he lacks as a receiver. Walker has displayed good hands and adequate route running ability from out of the backfield when given the opportunity. On film, he is a hands catcher with good after-the-catch ability. Walker is a willing blocker on passing downs but needs to improve his blitz pickup. Walker has displayed three-down ability at the collegiate level, and with more repetition, he can improve his ability as both a receiver and a blocker at the next level. Run Game Summary As a runner, Kenneth Walker displays great patience allowing his blocks to set up, good vision (eyes) to find daylight where he can accelerate and burst into a defense's second and third level. His nifty footwork, combined with short-area quickness, is high level, he can make defenders miss in a phonebooth, and if you give him space, he will win a high percentage of one-on-one battles with defenders. Kenneth Walker displays good durability and stamina as a player who appears to get better throughout a game. Walker is a contact balance savant who bounces off of tacklers consistently and can create something out of nothing. Walker does a great job taking care of the football, considering he is consistently dancing in and around traffic. On film, you see a dynamic and creative runner, who, when it looks like he might get reeled in for negative yardage, Walker pops out from within the traffic to pick up a positive gain. Final Analysis Kenneth Walker is a dynamic playmaker who displays a versatile running style; he can dance his way through traffic on one play and then make one cut and get downhill on the next. He will be the highest-rated RB on a lot of NFL Draft big boards for 2022, and if not for the question marks about his ability as a receiver, he would be a projected late first-round pick. Walker will have opportunities to show more of what he can do as a receiver by participating at Michigan States Pro Day and the NFL scouting combine. Final Grade Analysis Final Grade: (6.9) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level Ceiling Grade: (8) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Floor Grade: (6.9) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level

Player Profile Name: Kayvon Thibodeaux School: Oregon Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: Edge Rusher Height: 6050 Weight: 260 Year: 3rd Yr/Soph Jersey Number: 5 Defensive Scheme: Multiple 2-4-5, 4-2-5 Defensive Coordinator: Tim Deruyter Games Reviewed: 2021 UCLA, 2021 Washington, 2021 Washington State Position Specific Critical Factors Pass Rush : (8) Near Elite The prospect displays an ability to generate pressure and production on the QB as a rusher. The player must combine the following skills: burst to close, strength/power, elusiveness, and flexibility. The prospect should also have a toolbelt of optional moves to help the player beat his opponent, swim, rip, swipe, etc. 1st Step/Explosiveness: (8) Near Elite The prospect displays explosive quickness/power. The player(s) exhibits good Initial quickness and an ability to close cushion quickly. The prospect demonstrates an ability to penetrate quickly with reaction to 1st movement and anticipatory quickness. Edge Setter/POA: (6) Good The prospect exhibits an ability to negate his opponent's strength with force/stoutness, can stack & neutralize blockers, shows the ability to maintain leverage vs. outside plays with his play strength, hand use, aggression, toughness, and instincts. The prospect can anchor the edge and maintain leverage against the run. Key Strengths Speed to Power Initial Burst Athleticism Key Weaknesses Awareness Run Angles Open Field Tackling Pass Game Summary At 6-5 260lbs, Kayvon Thibodeaux possesses dominant pass-rushing traits that show up on film. His initial burst off the line of scrimmage combined with a good balance of speed to power is precisely what NFL Scouts are looking for in today's edge rushers. He can play with his hand in the dirt or standing up. Thibodeaux is an every-down player who can impact the passing game as a pass rusher from the edge of the defense while also lining up in the middle of the defense as an off-ball LB on occasion. Thibodeaux's athleticism allows the Oregon Ducks to drop him into underneath coverage; while pass coverage is not his primary strength, the ability to do so as a changeup is available. Run Game Summary Kayvon Thibodeaux is a good run defender, but improvement is needed. While watching his film, teams show they can scheme him in the run game via RPO or the zone read. When he takes a wrong angle, his athleticism can bail him out at the collegiate level but will be further exploited against much better NFL athletes. His open-field tackling is also an area that needs to continue to get better. He is a true edge player at the next level who has the strength to be a true edge-setting defensive end. Final Analysis Kayvon Thibodeaux is the exact prototype NFL scouts, and GM's are looking for during their draft evaluation process. He is a chess piece that has great length and athleticism. His initial burst and ability to balance speed to power off the edge is why he is considered a top 5 NFL Draft prospect. He provides a Chase Young level of potential at the next level. Final Grade Analysis Final Grade: (7.7) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Ceiling Grade: (8.4) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Floor Grade: (6.8) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level

Kenny Pickett Has Elevated His NFL Draft Stock In 2021 Click Here to View Full NFL Draft Profile The Football Scout 365 All Offensive Team QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh See above analysis RB Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State The Wake Forest Transfer arrived at Michigan State and was immediately impactful in 2021. Walker, a Heisman candidate, is a dynamic player who rushed for 1800+ yards and 18 TD's in 2021. RB Hassan Haskins, Michigan The nation's leader in rush attempts converted into a first down against eight or more defenders in the box (34), Haskins is the engine that drives the Michigan offense. WR David Bell, Purdue Big game Dave, all he does is produce in big moments. 624 of his 1286 yards as a receiver came against a top 25 opponent. Bell is also a 1st round level receiver heading into the 2022 NFL Draft.

He had nine blown blocks on the season, 1% of his total 867 snaps. IOL William Dunkle, San Diego State Dunkle is a giant at 6-5 330; the 2023 eligible draft prospect is a dominant interior run blocker for an Aztec offense that ranked 3rd in the Mountain West in rush yards in 2021. IOL Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa Linderbaum is a dominant run blocker at the center position and is the top-rated center prospect entering the 2022 NFL Draft.

He is a highly regarded run and pass blocker who is garnering more attention ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Our Defensive Player Of The Year is Michigan EDGE Rusher Aidan Hutchinson Aidan Hutchinson has been the leader of the Michigan Football team in 2020. Since way back in the spring of 2021, it was apparent that he had taken on a leadership role and was ready to take his game to the next level. Harbaugh mentioned Aidan Hutchinson during Big Ten Media Days in the spring and said that Aidan had approached the Michigan Strength staff and asked them to "wring him out every day." Aidan wanted them to get as much out of him as they possibly could ahead of the 2021 college football season, and that work ethic certainly has paid dividends. The Top 2022 NFL Draft Prospect Aidan Hutchinson's dominance in 2021 has elevated his draft stock. His ability as a High Impact Player has also elevated Michigan's defense from one of the worst in CFB in 2020 under former defensive coordinator Don Brown to a top 10 level in 2021 under new Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. In the new Mike Macdonald Baltimore Ravens 3-4 base scheme, Michigan plays a lot of one high man and cover three that rely on consistent pressure, especially from the edge of the defense. Michigans All-Time Single Season Sack Leader With one or two games left (College Football Playoff), he can add to his 14 total sacks on the season, a Michigan Football record. He took over the No. 1 spot from legendary Michigan defensive end LaMarr Woodley, who had 12 sacks in 2006. Hutchinson leads all of college football in QB pressures in 2021. Football Scout 365 2021 College Football All-Defensive Team EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan See Above Analysis Go to Aidan Hutchinson NFL Draft Profile IDL Neil Farrell JR., LSU Farrell is a dominant inside force who can play inside or out. His 10 TFL's and 2 sacks on the LSU defensive line provided one of the very few bright spots in Baton Rouge in 2021. IDL Devonte Wyatt, Georgia Wyatt has 25 QB pressures to go along with his 3 Sacks on the season from his interior DL position. He also has 7 TFL's and has forced 2 fumbles. EDGE Will Anderson JR., Alabama The leader of the tide defense, Will Anderson, is second to only Aidan Hutchinson in QB pressures (70) while leading the nation in sacks (15). LB Nakobe Dean, Georgia Dean leads the Bulldogs in TFL's with 8.5, and has compiled 5 total sacks. LB Devin Lloyd, Utah Lloyds 22 TFls leads the nation in 2021. He also has 8 total sacks. CB Roger McCreary, Auburn McCreary ranks 2nd in the nation in pass breakups (15) and has recorded 2 INT's on the season. CB Ja'Quan McMillian, ECU McMillan has recoded 11 pass breakups in 2021 to go along with his 5 INT's (Tied for 2nd nationally). CB Marcus Jones, Houston Jones is a dynamic player who is also a special teams ace. He leads the nation in pass breakups (17) and ranks 2nd with 5 INT's (tied). S Verone McKinley III, Oregon McKinley is a ball hawk at safety; he has 11 pass breakups and leads the nation with 6 INT's in 2021. S (Rover) Jalen Pitre, Baylor More of a rover near the LOS, Pitre makes big-time plays. He has recorded 17.5 TFL's, 2.5 sacks, forced 3 fumbles, intercepted 2 balls while breaking up 7 more.
