2026 NFL Player Position Rankings

You smell that? Football is in the air! Tonight the Arizona Cardinals take on the Carolina Panthers in the annual Hall of Fame Game. If you ignore the fact that this is a glorified high school game with less entertainment, it is exciting! Because of this, I figure it would be a great time to post my pre-season positional rankings. THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE LIST, combining every factor. Everything is taken into account for these lists, from team circumstances, to the obvious stats, underlying analytics, eye test, and personal opinion. This is NOT a full projection of who I think will be the most successful statistically this season, nor is a perfect representation of my thoughts on who is the most talented player at each position. It is a blend of both as I try to project where each player ends the season. Comment below what rankings you agree and disagree with!

Tuesday Takeaways: NFL Week 7 Reactions

It is Tuesday! This means another week of NFL football has passed us and we are giving our breakdown of things that stood out to us! Comment below what you took away from this past weekend! 1. How Good are the Denver Broncos? A lot has been made of Denver's historic fourth quarter comeback this week against the Giants. They scored 33 fourth quarter points, and were down by 18 points with 5 minutes left in the game. Lots of questions have come about from this game. How did this happen? Did this really happen? What took the offense so long to wake up? How did the Giants blow this? Did the Giants really miss that extra point? Did the refs really call that DPI? Just to name a few. I have more questions. Specifically around the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are sort of enigma at this point of the season. The Broncos are 5-2 and are third in the AFC. You can make the argument that they really should be 7-0 as they saw late leads slip away against both Indianapolis and Los Angeles. Two game...

Underrated NBA Prospects for the 2026 Draft

It is the eve of the 2025 college basketball tip-off! There is so much talent in the NCAA and this looks to be one of the most exciting seasons in years. Not only will this prove to be a must watch season collegiately, it looks to be one of the most talented drafts from top to bottom in recent memory. We already know who some of the top picks project to be, but I wrote about a few players who may sneak under the noses of the casual fan who can potentially make some noise in the draft cycle this upcoming season. From potential lottery picks to sneaky 2-Way guys, here are 9 players who I think will outperform their preseason expectations. As always, please comment some of your favorite under-the-radar draft prospects that you are excited to watch for this upcoming season!
