Keeping an eye on the enemy: Clemson linemen are not only good at what they do, but are also outrageously athletic.
Skill players: “Yeah but I bet y’all couldn’t play our positions either!”

Just a friendly reminder that Duke is currently out-recruiting Florida. But at least the Gators are still holding off [a] Miami.

The biggest question mark of this NFL draft is Josh Sweat, but his combine performance proved that he’s ready for the next level.

One of the draft’s biggest mysteries: #FSU pass-rusher Josh Sweat. He put on a show at the Combine, but his knee (ACL, MCL, PCL in HS) has some concerned. #Giants team doc Russ Warren performed the surgery… will that make NYG one of his possible landing spots?

DJ3 has gotten a lot of comparisons leading up to the draft, but he’s just trying to be the best version of himself that he can.
FSU Safety @DerwinJames6: I watched a lot tape of Sean Taylor but I get comparisons all over the place with my size and speed. I hear the Eric Berry and Kam Chancellor comparisons but I am just trying to be the best Derwin James I can be. pic.twitter.com/12uFEjT8JZ

The Green Bay Packers have found a clear value in James over the other highly touted defensive back in the class, but it doesn’t seem that he’ll last on the board that long.
