College football's competition week measured up to the billing. There were a handful of genuinely exceptional video games with some exceptional efficiencies throughout the nation. Here were my NFL Draft takeaways.
-
I will keep informing you about Donovan Ezeiruaku. The Boston College edge protector has actually been among the more dominant pass rushes in the nation which was before he solitarily trashed Pittsburgh this weekend. Ezeiruaku had 3.5 sacks and was simply unrelenting throughout the day. The senior protector ends up the season with 16.5 sacks and looks towards the NFL where he will be a truly, actually great pass rush.

Mason Graham is something unique. Look, I am not going to sit here and discuss how silly Ohio State's tactical plan was for the Wolverines. A lot of individuals are doing that. What I will state is the Buckeyes powerful hurrying attack was rendered essentially ineffective by Mason Graham on Saturday. Ohio State hurried 26 times, balancing less than 3 backyards a bring. Mason Graham dominantly dealt with the within the Buckeyes line, making deals with on OSU runners and maximizing area for his colleagues to make plays. The Wolverines have several future effect NFL gamers on their front 7, however Graham revealed he's the very best of the group with his efficiency in Columbus.
- Mentioning Ohio State, Kyle McCord is an NFL quarterback possibility. The previous Buckeye led Syracuse to a remarkable upset over Miami where McCord tossed for practically 400 backyards and 3 ratings. It was a gutsy, playmaking efficiency and the kind he's been providing for The Orange all year. McCord presently leads the country in passing backyards. While he has no impressive tools, he has a truly great mix of precision, choice making, and grace. I do not believe he is a leading possibility by any methods, however he appears like the kind of gamer who will have a long NFL profession as an area starter.
Gamers of the Week
Travis Hunter, Colorado: Travis Hunter selected off another pass last Friday which wasn't near to the most remarkable thing he did. The do-it-all phenom captured 10 passes for 116 lawns and 3 goals. For those keeping track in the house, that puts Hunter at 92 receptions on the year for 1,152 backyards and 14 goals. Hunter is 5th in the nation in catches and lawns while he is 2nd in goal receptions. Oh yeah and he's chosen off 4 passes this season. It's tough to actually fathom how outstanding his 2024 project has actually been. Unless Colorado has a surprise playoff berth, we might have seen the last of Hunter in a Buffs uniform. Next stop may be the very first general choice in the 2025 draft.
Abdul Carter, Edge Defender, Penn State: The Nittany Lions moved previous Maryland with ease on Saturday, beating the Terps 44-7. Maryland's failure to move the ball was due in part to Abdul Carter, whose 2 sacks on the day were just a part of his total supremacy.
