Interesting that KC Concepcion was the most versatile player. Pretty much what you and I were saying already.
And Eli Stowers was originally a QB for A&M, but became the best TE after transfer to Vandy. Of note is that his sister was a comeback Volleyball key player on the A&M National Champs after having retired over a year due to an injury. She blasted the match ending final shot to win the final set. Two great athletes from one family.

You and I have mentioned him quite a few times, I’d really like him as a second WR taken for the Browns but I think he’s moving up the draft… instead of being a third rounder he might end up closer to the first

Yeah, KC Concepcion & Marcel Reed were the reasons I shared with you early on I thought their offense had the best foot speed I've seen this year. I'd be curious to see if their clock speeds are as fast as their game speed. It's fun to watch someone with the football looking through a crowd of defenders as he spots what/where is going to open up while defenders are only looking at him. The most underrated intangible in football is vision - it can make people play faster than others with better foot speed (and quite often does).

Turns out the "announcement" by Mendoza that he was coming back was fake.

? When was this announcement I missed? Not saying it didn't happen - I'm just surprised to hear it considering nobody is even close to him talent wise.
Dante Moore has a lot of upside yadda yadda yadda; but basic essentials like taking the snap from Center or handing off or pitching the ball are far too sloppy for comfort. Yes, he makes nice throws behind one of the best Olines; but he has a lot of bad habits. Unfortunately, practice makes perfect with bad habits too - to the extent some could be beyond the point of no return. I think I see a Sam Darnold (that was a WR & Linebacker as a sophomore in high school before he was moved to QB). Very athletic like Moore but look how long his bad QB habits took before he could be mentioned with the other QBs in his draft class (that also had some bad habits to overcome) like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield (when healthy),etc. Anyway, Darnold has finally arrived the last 2 seasons playing for teams with enough talent to make the playoffs. It took a lot for all the stars and planets to align for him. JMO, I think whoever drafts Moore will need to be patient with how quickly he'll be ready.
Lucky for me, I don't have a career riding on my QB predictions.

There was a youtube video of him announcing, but it's an AI driven fake. Have a look. Kinda funny really. ?
