  • Denzel Boston NFL Draft Scouting Report

    Denzel Boston NFL Draft Scouting Report Denzel Boston has been in the Day 1 conversation since the summer scouting period because his boundary skill set translates cleanly to the NFL. At 6’4”, 210 pounds, the Washington receiver wins with size, timing, and catch-point control rather than pure vertical speed. He projects as a possession-based perimeter target with real red-zone value. His production supports the evaluation. After a limited role in 2023, Boston broke out in 2024 with 63 catches for 834 yards and nine touchdowns, then followed that with 62 receptions, 881 yards, and 11 scores in 2025. Over the last two seasons, he established himself as one of the more dependable touchdown producers in the class. The question is not whether Boston can play in the league. It is whether his ball skills, physicality, and finishing ability are strong enough to offset average burst and a release package that still needs refinement against NFL press corners. Film Summary Boston looks like a true boundary X on tape. He plays with strong body control, works back to the football, and consistently finishes through contact. His best reps come on fades, back-shoulder throws, slants, and intermediate in-breakers, where he can use his frame and timing to win late in the route. He has enough initial acceleration to threaten space early, but the separation window tightens as routes develop. That is where his game shifts from speed-based to strength- and timing-based. He wins because he stays composed at the catch point, tracks the football cleanly, and rarely loses through contact. Ideal Scheme Fit Boundary X / Possession-Based Perimeter Receiver: Best suited for a timing-based or play-action passing offense that values size, back-shoulder accuracy, and contested-catch reliability on the outside. Key Strengths (Film-Based Traits) Catch-Point Control: Times his hands well, shields defenders, and consistently finishes through contact. Boundary Play Strength: Uses size and body positioning to win late in reps and create throwing windows. Red-Zone Value: Reliable on fades, back-shoulder throws, and tight-area targets near the goal line. Developmental Areas (Growth Opportunities) Limited Vertical Separation: Does not have a true second gear to consistently run away from NFL corners. Press Release Efficiency: Release package is still linear and will need more variation against physical man coverage. Route Finish: Can improve how much sharpness and separation he creates at the top of routes. Unique Playstyle Comparison Tetairoa McMillan's competitive toughness and catch strength paired with Mike Evans’ red-zone presence and boundary ball skills. NFL Draft Grade High-End Starter Potential — Projects as a starting-caliber boundary receiver whose ball skills, strength, and red-zone finishing create clear NFL value even without elite speed. Draft Projection Day Two (2nd–3rd Round)

    2022 NFL Draft: WR Positional Rankings, Final Grades, Ceiling Grades, Advanced Stats, and More As we move closer to the 2022 NFL Draft, we have to finalize our positional rankings. We have watched the film, monitored the Senior Bowl and the combine, and now it's time to complete the analysis.

  • 2022 NFL Draft: Brandon's Mock Draft 1.0

    2022 NFL Draft: Brandon's Mock Draft 1.0 The stage for the 2022 NFL Draft has been finalized, with the Jacksonville Jaguars picking 1st and the Detroit Lions picking 2nd. For the better part of two months, the debate about which of these two teams would pick 1st overall was in question as each team won a few meaningless games down the stretch. One of the more notable and intriguing storylines in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft centers around both New York teams as the Jets and Giants have a combined four picks in the top ten. The Jets (via trade with Seattle) and Giants (via trade with Chicago) have two picks in the top 10. The Jets will be on the clock at picks 4 and 10, while the Giants hold picks 5 and 7. The Philadelphia Eagles have three first-round picks, which is the most in round one for any team. They have picks 15 (via Miami), 16 (via Indianapolis), and their original pick at 19th overall. The first round of the 2022 NFL Draft will take place on April 28th followed by rounds 2 and 3 on April 29th, while rounds 4 through 7 will conclude the NFL draft on April 30th. Please check us out on our YouTube Channel. By the time the NFL Draft starts, we will have completed 30 NFL draft evaluations covering the top prospects on the Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Big Board. Below, you will find my first post-Super Bowl NFL Mock Draft. There will be no trades, and I will provide some analysis to support my picks. Each pick is team needs-based or the best available prospect. 1. Jacksonville Jaguars, OT Ikem Ekwonu, NC State Team Needs: OT, C, LB, DT, TE Building around Trevor Lawrence is a no-brainer, and it started with building up the offensive line. 2. Detroit Lions, Edge Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan Team Needs: WR, CB, OG, LB, DT The Lions can go many different ways, but picking arguably the top player in the draft to bolster your defense is the logical route to go. 3. Houston Texans, S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame Team Needs: QB, RB, OG, CB, S The Texans have many needs, and it goes against most logic picking a safety this early, but Kyle Hamilton exhibits generational talent. 4. New York Jets, OT Evan Neal, Alabama Team Needs: CB, EDGE, OT, LB, TE The Jets, like the Jaguars, need to build around their young QB. 5. New York Giants, Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon Team Needs: LB, EDGE, OG, C, TE Thibs is a steal for the Giants if he falls. We still believe he is a top-five overall talent. 6. Carolina Panthers, QB Kenny Pickett, Pitt Team Needs: QB, OT, OG, S, C Pickett provides NFL-ready value at the QB position, and the Panthers need a reliable signal-caller. 7. New York Giants (Via Chicago) LB Nakobe Dean, Georgia Team Needs: LB, EDGE, OG, C, TE Nakobe Dean is one of the top talents in this draft, and he provides an immediate impact at a position of need for the Giants. 8. Atlanta Falcons, Edge Jermaine Johnson, II Florida State Team Needs: QB, RB, S, LB, EDGE The Falcons have a lot of needs, but picking up a steal at a premium position like Johnson could pay massive dividends. 9. Denver Broncos, EDGE Travon Walker, Georgia Team Needs: QB, LB, EDGE, OG, OT Walker is a versatile talent. He can be moved all along a defensive front. 10. New York Jets (Via Seattle), CB Ahmad (Sauce) Gardner, Cincinnati Team Needs: CB, EDGE, OT, LB, TE The Jets bolster their secondary with the top CB on our board. 11. Washington Commanders, IOL Kenyon Green, Texas A&M Team Needs: QB, OT, LB, S, CB The Commanders need a lot of help, and as with any team, you are only as good as your offensive and defensive line. 12. Minnesota Vikings, Edge David Ojabo, Michigan Team Needs: EDGE, OG, CB, LB, WR The Vikings have a new staff and a new DC looking to install a 3-4 base, and the versatile Ojabo is a perfect fit. 13. Cleveland Browns, Edge Kingsley Enagbare, South Carolina Team Needs: WR, DT, LB, C, EDGE The Browns could lose Clowney to free agency, so going after one of the top remaining edge rushers makes a lot of sense here. 14. Baltimore Ravens CB Derek Stingley, JR. LSU Team Needs: OT, OT, LB, EDGE, DT The Raven's last-place pass defense needs some help. Stingley is one of the most talented players in this class, and for a long time, he ranked atop his position. He can play in the nickel or outside. 15. Philadelphia Eagles (Via Miami), CB Kaiir Elam, Florida Team Needs: LB, CB, S, EDGE, WR The Eagles have a lot of picks and a lot of needs. They need to improve their secondary, and with the potential losses of Brandon Graham and Derrick Barnett to free agency, they need to make their picks count. 16. Philadelphia Eagles (Via Indianapolis), Edge Arnold Ebiketie, Penn State Team Needs: LB, CB, S, EDGE, WR The Eagles have a lot of picks and a lot of needs. They need to improve their secondary, and with the potential losses of Brandon Graham and Derrick Barnett to free agency, they need to make their picks count. 17. Los Angeles Chargers, IDL Travis Jones, UCONN Team Needs: DT, OT, WR, EDGE, TE One of the NFL's worst run defenses a season ago from the inside out, the Chargers get one of our favorite players in Travis Jones. 18. New Orleans Saints, OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State Team Needs: QB, WR, CB, TE, S The Saint's salary cap situation is a disaster, so their picks will be critical, and they must go after their needs. They may not be able to resign Terron Armstead due to cap issues, so going best available OT makes sense. 19. Philadelphia Eagles WR David Bell, Purdue Team Needs: LB, CB, S, EDGE, WR David Bell teaming up with Devonte Smith can help elevate the Eagle's offense. 20. Pittsburgh Steelers OT Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa Team Needs: QB, OT, OG, CB, DT The Steelers need OL, and they have options. If Penning falls this far, they have to go this route. He is a mauler in the run game. 21. New England Patriots, WR Jameson Williams, Alabama Team Needs: CB, WR, LB, S, DT The Patriots need a WR that can take the top off of the defense, and there might not be a better option in the 2022 class. 22. Las Vegas Raiders, WR Jahan Dotson, Penn State Team Needs: WR, OG, C, LB, DT After losing Henry Ruggs, the Raiders can fill the void with another speedy receiver. Jahan Dotson is a refined route runner that can provide an immediate impact. 23. Arizona Cardinals CB Roger McCreary, Auburn Team Needs: CB, OG, OT, C, DT The Cardinals need to work on their OL, and they might go OL in this spot, but they also need help in the secondary, and McCreary provides good versatility at a position of need. 24. Dallas Cowboys, Edge Boye Mafe, Minnesota Team Needs: DT, EDGE, LB, S, TE Mafe had a great week at the Senior Bowl and has climbed on a lot of draft boards. The Cowboys could go a lot of different ways here. They could go LB and move Parsons to a full-time edge rush position or add a traditional edge rusher. 25. Buffalo Bills, IDL Devonte Wyatt, Georgia Team Needs: CB, OG, LB, DT, WR The Bills can bolster their DL with one of the best options available. 26. Tennessee Titans, Edge George Karlaftis, Purdue Team Needs: CB, WR, LB, EDGE, TE Karlaftis has fallen a bit on our board, but he will not fall out of the first round. 27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State Team Needs: RB, DT, WR, CB, TE The Bucs get a steal at WR, assuming they cannot retain Chris Godwin. 28. Green Bay Packers, WR Chris Olave, Ohio State Team Needs: OT, WR, TE, DT, EDGE Rodgers will finally get his number two to go along with Adams, and then he will retire. All kidding aside, this is a great spot where I believe many big-time playmaking WR's will still be available. 29. Miami Dolphins (Via San Francisco), Zion Johnson, Boston College Team Needs: OT, OG, C, LB, RB The Dolphins need OL help, and Zion Johnson is one of the top players rising on draft boards across the league. 30. Kansas City Chiefs, WR Drake London, USC Team Needs: CB, WR, EDGE, LB, S London may not get this far, but imagine a world where Mahomes has Hill, Kelce, and a go-up-and-get-it player like Drake London. 31. Cincinnati Bengals, C Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa Team Needs: CB, C, OG, OT, LB Linderbaum has fallen due to his lack of versatility. Regardless, he is a premium talent at an important position of need. 32. Detroit Lions (Via Rams), WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas Team Needs: WR, CB, OG, LB, DT If Burks falls this far, the Lions will get a massive steal. Teams without a 1st round pick 39. Chicago Bears Team Needs: OT, WR, C, CB, DT 41. Seattle Seahawks Team Needs: OT, CB, OG, EDGE, LB 47. Indianapolis Colts Team Needs: CB, WR, TE, OT, EDGE 61. San Francisco 49ers Team Needs: CB, S, OG, C, WR 103. Los Angeles Rams Team Needs: OT, TE, LB, EDGE, OG

  • 2026 Senior Bowl: Event Overview and Player Invites

    2026 Senior Bowl: Event Overview and Player Invites The Draft Starts in Mobile The Senior Bowl remains the premier college football all-star event and the official first step in the NFL Draft process. For more than 76 years, Mobile, Alabama, has served as the permanent home of the game, making it the longest continually running all-star showcase in football and a foundational evaluation stop for NFL decision-makers. The 2026 version will be played on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Hancock Whitney Stadium, home of the University of South Alabama. Coverage will air nationally on NFL Network, with additional radio coverage via Fox Sports Pensacola and SiriusXM. Fan Fest activities will take place earlier in the day, leading into a 1:30 PM CT kickoff in Mobile. NFL-Driven Roster Construction and Evaluation Model The Senior Bowl reaffirmed its standing as the league’s most trusted all-star event with the release of its initial 130-plus accepted invitations for the 2026 game. While late additions and roster movement are expected as the process unfolds, the core roster is largely set heading into Senior Bowl week. Under the direction of Drew Fabianich, the Senior Bowl roster is built to mirror an NFL draft board rather than a traditional all-star selection model. Fabianich, a longtime NFL evaluator with nearly two decades of experience helping construct draft boards at the professional level, utilizes a positional vertical board approach—stacking prospects round by round in the same manner NFL teams evaluate their own classes. “We’ve got a positional vertical board, just like you would, round by round, for an NFL team,” Fabianich said. That philosophy continues to translate directly to draft outcomes. The 2025 Senior Bowl produced 106 NFL Draft selections, accounting for 41% of all drafted players, including seven first-round picks and 50 selections in the first three rounds. As a result, NFL front offices consistently treat Senior Bowl week as an extension of their draft rooms, with heavy general manager, head coach, and coordinator presence throughout practices and meetings. Senior Bowl by the Numbers The Senior Bowl’s impact on the NFL Draft remains unmatched among postseason all-star events: 47 more Top-3 Round selections than any other All-Star Game 100% of NFL teams selected at least one Senior Bowl participant 99% of 2025 participants were drafted or signed as undrafted free agents As former NFL head coach Jon Gruden has stated, Mobile has become a proving ground for professional opportunity: “This is where players come — Mobile, Alabama. Guys get discovered here.” -Jon Gruden Best of the Best, From Every Level The 2026 Senior Bowl roster includes athletes from every level of college football, bringing together the nation’s top draft-eligible prospects to form the National and American teams. From Power Five programs to Group of Five and FCS standouts, the event offers a unified evaluation environment designed to identify players who can translate to the NFL level. What follows is a position-by-position breakdown of accepted player invites, providing a clear view of how the 2026 Senior Bowl roster is shaping up as the NFL Draft process begins in Mobile.

  • 2025 NFL Draft: Jomier Augustine Is A Hidden Gem, A Tenacious, Versatile LB with an Elite Football IQ

    2025 NFL Draft: Jomier Augustine Is A Hidden Gem, A Tenacious, Versatile LB with an Elite Football IQ Each year, the NFL Draft reveals hidden gems—players with unique paths, untapped potential, and unrelenting determination who are primed to make an impact at the next level. Jomier Augustine, a linebacker from Southeastern University and graduate student with an impressive athletic and academic background, is one such prospect. Augustine blends leadership, positional versatility, and sideline-to-sideline speed, making him a name to watch as the 2025 NFL Draft approaches. Jomier Augustine | LB/SS | Southeastern University Augustine’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. A graduate of Southeastern University’s MBA program specializing in Sports Management, Augustine has played at four collegiate programs: Howard, Kennesaw State, Carson-Newman, and Southeastern. As a true freshman at Howard, he started all 10 games and made an immediate impact, recording 35 tackles, six tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and one sack. His career continued at Carson-Newman, where he started every game in 2023, finishing with 42 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. His perseverance and adaptability have prepared him to compete at the highest level. Jomier Augustine | LB/SS | Southeastern University Height: 5’11” Weight: 220 lbs Position: LB/SS/Rover Class Year: Graduate Student (2024) 40-Yard Dash: N/A 10-Yard Split: N/A Top Speed: N/A College Career Highlights: Tropical Bowl & FCS Bowl participant, Second-Team All-Sun Conference in 2024 Background Growing up in a military family, Augustine learned discipline and adaptability early on. These traits carried over to his football career, where he thrived despite changing schools multiple times. A native of Lawrenceville, Georgia, and a product of Collins Hill High School—the same program that produced NFL stars like Travis Hunter—Augustine earned All-Gwinnett County and All-Region honors while serving as team captain. Known for his leadership on and off the field, he now aims to bring his physicality, football IQ, and tenacity to the NFL. At Southeastern in 2024, Augustine was named Second-Team All-Sun Conference after recording 35 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. He also forced two fumbles, tying the program's single-season record. His impact has been equally felt off the field, with Southeastern head coach Adam Waugh praising Augustine’s leadership and enthusiasm as setting the tone for the defense. 2025 NFL Draft: Jomier Augustine Scouting Report Strengths Versatility: Augustine has played multiple roles, including linebacker, strong safety, rover, and nickel, giving him a unique adaptability across various defensive schemes.

Ball Production: Over the past two seasons, Augustine has forced five fumbles, two of which resulted in touchdowns, showcasing his knack for creating game-changing plays. Leadership: Augustine’s relentless effort and vocal presence make him a natural leader, both in the locker room and on the field. Special Teams Potential: His high motor and tackling ability translate well to special teams, making him an immediate asset in this phase of the game. Weaknesses Size vs. Physical Matchups: While Augustine holds up well against competition, he may need to add mass and strength to handle physical NFL blockers effectively. 2024 Southeastern Season Highlights Games Played: 10 Tackles: 35 total (15 solo, 20 assisted) TFL: 4.5 for 10 yards Sacks: 1.5 Forced Fumbles: 2 Key Performance: Recorded 1.5 sacks and 4.5 TFL in the season opener against Faulkner University. 2023 Carson-Newman Season Highlights Games Played: 10 Tackles: 42 total TFL: 3.0 Sacks: 1.5 Forced Fumbles: 1 Key Performance: Notched a season-high 10 tackles in a 14-10 win over Erskine College. NFL Style Comparison Nakobe Dean (Philadelphia Eagles): Augustine mirrors Dean’s compact frame, sideline-to-sideline motor, and downhill run support. Key Quotes On his work ethic: “I believe my insane work ethic, my ability to read the game at a high level, and my versatility on the field to play multiple positions are what make me a top prospect for the draft.” — Jomier Augustine On adversity: "One of the hardest moments in my life that I’ve had to overcome would be when my mom was battling breast cancer in 2019." — Jomier Augustine On his game style: “If the ball is coming my way, I’m going to lock it down. I’m a superior tackler with my frame and love covering guys.” — Jomier Augustine NFL Draft Projection Projected Round: Undrafted Free Agent with priority Practice Squad potential Best Scheme Fit: Teams that utilize hybrid defenders in 4-2-5 or 3-3-5 defensive schemes Summary Jomier Augustine is a diamond in the rough whose combination of leadership, effort, and adaptability makes him a compelling 2025 NFL Draft prospect. His ability to produce turnovers, adapt to multiple positions, and contribute immediately on special teams gives him a unique edge. While Augustine projects as an undrafted free agent, his Tropical Bowl and FCS Bowl performances will be key in elevating his draft stock. With his relentless drive, strong academic background, and football IQ, Augustine has all the tools to carve out a role in the NFL and exceed expectations.

How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round. Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value. High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value. Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value. Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents. Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations. Draft position can vary based on positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical evaluation and athletic testing.

  • 2021 CFB Playoff Semi-Final: Alabama vs Cincinnati Situational Scouting and Matchup Analysis

    2021 CFB Playoff Semi-Final: Alabama vs Cincinnati Situational Scouting and Matchup Analysis The Matchup: Alabama Offense vs. Cincinnati Defense Alabama Offense Overview The Alabama offense is explosive, led by Sophomore QB and Heisman Trophy Winner Bryce Young; they are 5th nationally in plays of 20+ yards (84) and average 42.5 points per game. Alabama took a step back in the run game in 2021, amassing 1919 yards (75th). They rank 6th nationally in passing offense with 4523 yards, 44 TD's, and 4INT's. Alabama averaged 495 yards of offense per game (6th). Bryce Young Displaying his deep accuracy Heisman Winner and Sophomore QB Bryce Young Is The Engine That Propels The Alabama Offense The Alabama offense took a slight step back in 2021 after a record-breaking 2020. Sophomore QB Bryce Young took the reigns from the departed 2021 1st round NFL Draft pick Mac Jones, posting incredible numbers for a first-year starter. His 4300 passing yards, 44/4 TD/INT ratio, and 2nd highest NFL QB rate won him the Heisman Trophy. His performance in the SEC title game sealed the Heisman, Young went 26 of 44 for 421 yards and three scores. If Young were draft-eligible, many believe he would go number one overall in 2022. The Alabama Run Game Powered By a Senior RB That Waited His Turn Brian Robinson is a solid RB who possesses good size and plays with good vision and patience. He doesn't wow you in any particular area, but he is versatile. As a runner, Robinson picked up 1071 yards in 2021. Robinson then added another 268 yards as a receiver. He has a combined 16 TD's in 2021. Alabama's WR Factory Continued In 2021 With Ohio State Transfer Jameson Williams Leading the Way The Ohio State transfer arrived in Tuscaloosa perceived as the 4th best WR at Ohio State before transferring. In 2021, Williams became the best WR in college Football, snagging 68 catches for 1445 yards and 15 TD's. Jameson Williams is an instant impact player and the top WR on our NFL Draft Board. Williams provides a spark whenever the Crimson Tide offense needs a big-time play. He can attack a defense at all levels and is one of the best route runners in college football. Jameson Williams with the stop and go double move displaying his explosive speed The Alabama OL Has Been Inconsistent You might have expected better with Bill O'Brien as the Alabama OC and Doug Marrone coaching the OL (LOL for Bill O'Brien). But, the Alabama OL has been inconsistent in 2021, yet put together their best game of the season against the best defensive front in college football (Georgia) in the SEC title game. The week prior, they surrendered seven sacks vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl. In 2021, Bryce Young has faced the second-most total pressures in the country, and Young has been sacked 30+ times on the year. Alabama OL Graded Average to Below Average In 2021 According to PFF, Alabama has received a below-average grade in pass blocking and an average grade in run blocking for 2021. They are among the worst in total-blown run blocks in college football. Still, they have Football Scout 365's top-rated OT prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft (Evan Neal) bolstering their OL. Cincinnati Defense Overview The Bearcats defense allows 16 points a game (4th) and allows the 2nd fewest pass yards per game (168). Their run defense is a bit more susceptible, giving up 147 yards per game (44th) but a respectable 3.3 yards per rush attempt (11th). The Bearcats are 3rd in the nation in turnover margin, and they rank 12th in tackles for loss. They give up the nation's 5th fewest explosive plays. They rank 12th overall in yards allowed in 2021. The Bearcats DL is Quick And Can Create Havoc; the LB's Play Fast The Bearcats defensive line is led by Curtis Brooks, a 285 lb interior player who has picked up 7.5 sacks and 11.5 TFL's in 2021. Brooks is not the 300lb giants you see at Georgia or Alabama, but he brings a blue-collar attitude to the middle of the Bearcats defense. The Bearcats also have an athletic edge defender (Myjai Sanders), a solid pass rusher who can set the edge. In addition, the second-level speed at LB has been a significant key to the Bearcats' success in 2021. None of the LB's stand out, but they do a good job in coverage and playing downhill vs. the run. LB's Joel Dublanko and Darrian Beavers lead the Bearcats in tackles. Havoc creates turnovers, Sauce Gardner INT The Bearcat Secondary Is Very Good Led By Sauce Gardner and Coby Bryant Most people will write off or overlook the Bearcats secondary because of "Bama" but they are an excellent group that plays at an elite level. Sauce Gardner is a long-armed corner at 6-2 188 who is getting a lot of NFL draft attention. The game against Alabama is a big game for Gardner's draft stock as he will likely shadow Alabama's Jameson Williams. On the other side is Coby Bryant. Bryant is a 6-1, 198lb corner who is also lengthy. He is the less heralded of the two, but he is also garnering a lot of attention from NFL scouts. At safety, the Bearcats are led by Bryan Cook, a 6-1 210lb split safety, who can play in the box and get physical when needed. The Matchup: Cincinnati Offense vs. Alabama Defense Cincinnati Offense Overview The Bearcats average 39 points per game; they ranked 52nd in pass offense, 49th in rush offense, and 46th overall. They are a balanced offense that uses RPO and play-action. Ridder shows his touch and deep accuracy Desmond Ridder Is The Straw That Stirs The Drink The Bearcats are led by their senior QB Desmond Ridder, a player considered by many to be a first-round NFL talent. Ridder has been a steady force the last few years in Cincinnati. In 2021, Ridder completed 66% of his throws for 3190 yards with a 30/8 TD/INT ratio. Ridder adds versatility as a runner where he amassed 361 yards and six more TD's. Jerome Ford Wants You To Know He Is Not "The Alabama Transfer, He Is The Cincinnati RB" The Bearcats lead back is a former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide; he doesn't want you to talk about that, and he is vocal about it. Ridder and Ford show why they are tough to defend in zone-read situations Jerome Ford has had a great 2021 season picking up 1243 yards on the ground scoring 19 TD's, and adding another 209 yards and a score as a receiver. He averaged 6.22 yards per rush attempt in 2021. At 5-11 220 lbs, Ford is a bowling ball-style back who picked up 578 of his 1243 rush yards after contact. The Bearcat OL Is Solid, But Face Their Toughest Test vs. Alabama The Bearcats surrendered 92 pressures, ranking the 7th lowest nationally in 2021. And their 20 sacks allowed is 30th nationally. They have surrendered the 5th fewest TFL's (45). Bearcat Receivers Led By Alec Pierce Are Solid, But Not Overly Dynamic Led by Alec Pierce, the Bearcats are not dynamic on paper. But do not be fooled; they are a solid unit, and Pierce, who is 6-3 208 lbs, can be a matchup problem for opposing defenders. Pierce has good hands and excellent ball skills. He can gain separation as a good route runner and has good speed. Bearcats TE Josh Whyle Provides A Matchup Problem For Alabama At 6-6 235, Whyle is a hands catcher with good size that can body a defender. He posted 25 catches for 320 yards and six TD's in 2021. Alabama Defense Overview Not one of the better versions of a Saban defense, the 2021 edition allows a respectable 20 points per game. They rank 8th in total defense and give up the 63rd most pass yards per game (223). They possess a stout run defense, ranking 4th, allowing 83 yards per game. They give up the 7th fewest plays of 20+ yards but give up a significant number of (chunk) 10-19 yard plays, ranking 32nd nationally. The Bearcats will have an issue containing Edge Will Anderson Will Anderson Is a Top Five NFL Draft Talent in 2023 If eligible in 2022, Anderson would have a case to be number one overall. His talent off the edge is undeniable. He ranked 3rd in total pressures with 13 sacks in 2021. Anderson is not just a pass rush asset; he can drop into coverage when needed. Josh Jobe and Jordan Battle Bolster A Solid and Improving Alabama Secondary The Physical 6-1, 210lb Jordan Battle plays physical. He is a versatile player that Alabama will line up deep, in the box, or the nickel. His 3 INT's lead the team. Josh Jobe has had a subpar 2021, but he is still a solid NFL draft prospect with a high ceiling. Jobe has 2 INT's on the year. If Alabama Wins: It will be because....They assert themselves early in the run game to take pressure off the offensive line in passing situations. As noted earlier, the Bearcats run defense looks a little susceptible. If Alabama can play physically up front, they may be able to control the line of scrimmage against an undersized Bearcats defensive front. This season, Cincinnati has surrendered 121 first downs in the run game, ranking 72nd nationally. In addition, they have allowed nearly 1100 yards after contact (63rd). With or Without A Run Game, The Bearcats Have Their Hands Full Vs. Bryce Young And Jameson Williams. For the Bearcats defense, it will be a pick your poison scenario. I expect the Bearcats will play to keep everything in front, allowing the Crimson Tide to have a lot of access underneath. If the Bearcats are getting gashed in the run game and decide they want to stop the run, they will have a hard time locking down the Alabama WR's. Jameson Williams leads the charge, and even without Metchie, the Tide can target several options outside of Williams, including one of the top TE prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft Jahleel Billingsley. Sauce Gardner vs. Jameson Williams The Bearcats play a man-heavy defensive scheme, but against Alabama, they may want to try to play a little more zone. Regardless, the matchup to watch will be Sauce Garner vs. Jameson Williams. If Cincinnati Wins: It will be because....The Alabama Offense Struggles and Bryce Young Faulters under Pressure The Bearcats defense will need to do whatever is necessary to keep Alabama from hitting the explosive plays, which means they may have to play out of their comfort zone and line up in less man to man and more zone coverage. The one problem is that if the Bearcats want to exploit the inconsistent Alabama OL play, they will need to bring an extra defender from time to time which takes away from their coverage on the back end. If Desmond Ridder And Jerome Ford Have Success In The Run Game, The Bearcats Have A Shot The best defense is a good offense, and in Cincinnati's case, they may want to try to sustain drives and keep the ball away from Bryce Young. They can do this by running the football successfully. Ridder is a good athlete who can use his legs to add pressure to a defense. His ability to run can force Alabama to defend all eleven and open things up in the RPO and zone-read game. Ridder will have to play a significant role as a runner to beat Alabama Jerome Ford's role is also vital; he will have to play well between the tackles for Ridder to find success on the edge of the Alabama defense. Early down success in the run game will give Ridder more manageable late down passing opportunities to use his legs when Bama decides to play man. Alabama Key 2022 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch Alabama has nine players ranked on our current NFL Draft Big Board. They have 2nd most players ranked on our board.
