The 8 best potential Jets targets to watch in the Senior Bowl

The Jets should have their eyes on these eight prospects during Saturday’s Senior Bowl.

The Jets spent the week in Mobile closely evaluating the talent taking part in Senior Bowl practices.

Now, it’s time for the real thing.

The National Team, which is led by New York’s coaching staff, will take on the American Team in the annual Senior Bowl game on Saturday afternoon. Practice evaluations are arguably the most important aspect of the Senior Bowl, but the game will provide the Jets with one last look at some of the 2022 NFL draft prospects they fancy in live-action.

Taking care of business in a practice setting is one thing. Getting the job done during a game is a completely different story. Which prospects should the Jets be watching closely on Saturday? Here are eight of the best to keep an eye on.

2022 Senior Bowl preview: Top prospects, biggest sleepers

To get you familiar with the Senior Bowl participants, here is a look at the top prospects and the ones who are flying under the radar.

The Senior Bowl is the biggest college football all-star game. This is the last game they will participate in before heading to the NFL Combine in February. It is also the last chance for league decision-makers to see prospects up close, going up against the best players in the country.

To get familiar with those partaking in the festivities in Mobile, AL, here is a look at the top prospects and the ones who are flying under the radar.

4 TE prospects for the Eagles to watch at the 2022 Senior Bowl

2022 #SeniorBowl: 4 TE prospects for the #Eagles to watch #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE

We’re less than 100-days from the start of the 2022 NFL draft and with Philadelphia owning three first-round picks, Howie Roseman will need to increase the normal due diligence done on eligible prospects.

The draft actually starts in Mobile, Alabama, where the start of senior bowl practices will kick off on Tuesday, February 1.

We’re profiling the position groups for both teams, while also breaking down several players at each group for Philadelphia to watch.

The next group to watch will be the senior bowl tight ends.

2022 Chiefs NFL draft prospects: Group 13

Our latest group of 2022 NFL draft prospects to watch for the #Chiefs:

It’s rivalry week in college football, and that means we’ll have some heated matchups between draft prospects to watch. We’ve identified over 200 college prospects to keep an eye on ahead of the 2022 NFL draft, all of whom might be potential fits with the Kansas City Chiefs. I’ll be releasing my thoughts on many of the prospects in random groups of four on Saturdays throughout the college football season.

Our thirteenth group of prospects includes a dominant 3-tech, a seek-and-destroy safety, a versatile fullback and a bruising tight end.

Reaction to Michael Mayer not being Mackey Award finalist

What are we even doing at this point?

Michael Mayer is as good of tight end as there is in college football.  Literally as good and you would have real trouble convincing anyone who has paid attention nationally that he’s not the very best.

However, the Notre Dame tight end was left off of the list of finalists for the Mackey Award that goes to the nation’s best tight end.

Here is who the three finalists are:

Charlie Kolar, Iowa State:  53 receptions, 653 yards, 5 TD
Trey McBride, Colorado State: 80 receptions, 927 yards, 1 TD
Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M: 36 receptions, 491 yards, 4 TD

For comparison, not that stats tell the entire story, here is what Mayer has done:

Michael Mayer, Notre Dame:  55 receptions, 663 yards, 5 TD

As many touchdowns as any, more receptions and receiving yards than three of the four, and and a very good blocker to boot.

For what it’s worth, the award should be a battle between Mayer and Brock Bowers of Georgia.  However, it’s just not going to go to the actual best tight end in the nation in 2021, it’s plain and simple.

Kolar is great and will probably be a mid-round draft pick but is he on there as a lifetime achievement award?

Wyderman on there because they need SEC representation?  Brock Bowers had a better year, for your information.

McBride stats are great, at least the receptions and yardage.  Red zone threat?  Not so much.  But I digress.

It was Kyren Williams getting the shaft last week and now Mayer this week.  Here are some of the reactions to the unfortunate news for Mayer and the award on Tuesday:

Colorado State tight end Trey McBride and the case for TE1

Colorado State tight end Trey McBride is heading to the Senior Bowl. Mark Schofield breaks down some of his film.

With the NFL draft season looming, more and more college players are receiving invitations to the post-season bowl games, such as the Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. These showcase events give players a chance to show NFL decision makers what they can do at the next level.

One of the more recent invitations from the Senior Bowl staff has been given to Colorado State tight end Trey McBride. McBride, who has caught 74 passes for 838 yards and a touchdown this year, and will be heading to Mobile for the event:

So this is a good time to take a look at McBride’s game. We’ll study six plays, from his game against Iowa and his game against New Mexico, and talk about his route-running, his athleticism, and more:

Colorado State head coach Steve Addazio recently said this of his tight end:

Perhaps there is that case to be made.

NFL draft prospects for the Lions to watch in college football Week 4

8 college football players to watch in CFB Week 4 as potential future Detroit Lions

It’s Week 4 of the college football season, one week ahead of the NFL’s Week 3. And there are quite a few NFL draft prospects to watch across the big slate of college games on Saturday.

The prospect watch got off to a strong start on Friday night with an impressive but uneven performance by Liberty QB Malik Willis in the Flames’ last-second loss to Syracuse. Willis completed 14-of-19 passes for 206 yards and three TDs and also ran for 49 yards.

Who else should Lions fans pay attention to on Saturday with an eye for the 2022 NFL draft? Here are eight players to know for CFB Week 4.

All-conference tight end gone?

Add Colorado State tight end, Trey McBride, to the latest Mountain West player moving on. 247Sports is reporting that the first-team all-Mountain West tight end is looking to play elsewhere.

McBride still has two years of eligibility and probably will have to sit out but could easily request a waiver to play this year due to COVID-19.

However, there is nothing official about him leaving the Rams program.

McBride was named as the league’s best tight end in MWWire’s preseason all-conference team. Last year, he caught 45 passes for 560 yards and four touchdowns.

McBride is an NFL prospect and assuming he is transferring, would join wide receiver Warren Jackson who declared for the NFL Draft.

There are six leagues that are scheduled to play college football this fall and it would make sense that McBride would attempt to go to those conferences which include: Big 12, SEC, ACC, C-USA, Sun Belt and the American
