There’s my guy Heldt again. Stevens is another guy I’ve seen a ton of this year.

Damn, the defense simply gave up at the 30 yard line.

How the fuck did Miami not sign this guy? They could have paired him with Fletcher to form a bulletproof backfield rotation. Saw a few clips of him last year but not this otherworldly speed.

Per-touch production was never the question. Brown averaged nearly nine yards a carry in 2025 and has been an explosive-play machine since winning ACC Rookie of the Year as a true freshman; the Boston College game, 201 yards on 14 carries, is the kind of tape that makes scouts sit up regardless of the ranking. When he gets a crease, the run usually ends in the secondary.

The rest of the file is complicated. A leg injury against Virginia Tech erased half his season and is the first thing the medical staffs will chase. He is among the smallest backs in the class, which removes the inside-grinder role entirely, and the blocking math is worse: keeping him in to protect is a losing bet, so his third-down value has to come through the air, where the impact so far is all dump-offs. Two fumbles in nine games on a part-time touch count compounds the trust problem.

He returns to Louisville for 2026 with everything to prove about durability and nothing to prove about juice. For the league, the honest projection is a camp battle: a space-and-screens specialist whose explosiveness gives him a real chance to outplay this slot, but whose size, medical file and ball security questions mean he has to win a roster spot rather than be handed one. The talent says watch him closely next fall.

Probably late Day 2 to mid Day 3 guy.

I’ll bet no one went to Arch Manning’s 21st birthday.

Wouldn't say he played bad at all. Maybe not go for a 52 yard FG on 4th and two. Not let up a blocked punt for a TD.

Manning did throw a pick 6 to allow them to go ahead. I saw that. Lots of mishaps in this game that could have been avoided.

Said the same thing last year. Bulk him up a bit and make him an F.

Fletcher might be who I thought Damien Martinez was going to be.
