It is also funny to me that some voters didn’t pick Mark Stoops as SEC Coach of the Year. You can’t predict a team, as a media pool, to win four games and then not give the head coach credit when his team wins 10 games and the Citrus Bowl.

The #Browns have three of the NFL's top 9 tight ends, according to @PFF. The loss of Jarvis Landry hurts but they can make do with more 12 personnel (up to 31% in Week 2 from 24% in Week 1, per @jake_burns18) if Odell Beckham Jr. is out.

Instead they took Denzel Ward, who has two more NFL Rookie of the Week awards this year than Chubb.
Bradley Chubb, a rookie CLE passed on, has a remarkable 12 sacks. A crazy number. Khalil Mack, as a rookie, had four. Usually takes college pass rushers a while to make impact. Chubb will set all time rookie record in next couple weeks. He’s also never hurt. College or NFL

Kentucky WR addition Ja’Mori Maclin, cousin of former NFL Pro Bowl WR Jeremy Maclin, was one of the most productive pass catchers to transfer this offseason. He originally committed to now Buccaneers OC Liam Coen, but will be coached by WR coach Daikiel Shorts, who recently worked with Texans WR Tank Dell, Texas WR Matthew Golden and Miami WR Sam Brown.
Maclin caught 57 balls for 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns at North Texas last season.
