The leader Stroud has been amazing this year but one problem he's thrown it 82 more times.
What Brock is doing this year is incredible .

Does cheerleading still happen at NFL games? Today I watched New York Jets Vs Houston Texans and didn't see any cheerleaders.

Congrats to the Dragon!
From 2008 to 2018, Flacco was 96-67 with the Ravens.
5 years later, after 5 stops on 4 different teams, he’s 4-15 between the Broncos (2-6), Jets (1-8), Eagles (0-0), and Browns (1-1).
Since he'll be the Browns' starter for the rest of the year, he's got a chance to pass Jim Kelly (101 wins) and Warren Moon (102).
After today’s games, here’s the full list of QBs with 100 NFL regular season wins (with their winning percentage in parentheses):
(1) Tom Brady (251-82, 75.38%)

The only other active QB with at least 90 wins is Matthew Stafford (95-107-1, 47.04%)
Hey all, it seem like most people don't have a great grasp on this year's RB class with no clear first or even second round prospects. To make matters worse, two guys who are often disputed as being the top of this year's class may end up going back to school. The combine will be highly important for many of these backs' perceptions as well, so this group will likely fluctuate rather significantly over the next five months with some smaller school prospects stepping into the spotlight and what not.
Before getting into the top ten, I want to bring up two notable exclusions: TreVeyon Henderson and Jonathon Brooks. Henderson is likely going back to school. If he was not, he would easily be in the top three. Brooks tore his ACL, and also might go back to school. As unfortunate as it may be, any running back that is not an elite talent coming off of an ACL tear is likely just off of many team's draft boards entirely.
For these top ten, I listed three strengths and three weaknesses along with a player comparison to demonstrate the type of back each is. These comps are based more on running style than the caliber of the prospect (so don't get too excited seeing Derrick Henry as a comp for a player with a fifth round grade):
1. Trey Benson - Florida State
Pro Comp: Roschon Johnson
Film Grade: Early-Mid Third
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 223lbs
Strengths:
-
Work Horse - At 6'1 223lbs and muscled up, he is built to be a workhorse back.
-
Athleticism - He has good acceleration, home run speed, and crazy strong legs. Benson is a high caliber athlete for the position.
-
Contact Balance - Arms tackles will not bring him down. He stays low in the backfield for his jump cuts, and has the power to run through players when up to speed.
Weaknesses:
-
Dead Leg - Benson can jump cut and stays low really well on his pivots in the backfield, but his open field dead leg and ability to maintain his pace when cutting are not strengths. Him needing to slow down in order to change direction in the open field is what limits his draft grade the most.
-
Route Tree - He is a decent receiver, but is not that dual slot threat seen among more natural receiving backs.
-
Injury History - Benson tore his ACL, MCL, lateral meniscus, medial meniscus and gracilis tendon several years ago. While clearly fully recovered, giving a full workload to a player with that type of injury could lead to chronic knee issues.
2. MarShawn Lloyd - USC
Pro Comp: Ken Walker III
Film Grade: Early-Mid Third
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 210lbs
Strengths:
-
Agility - He keeps his hips low and can make guys miss in the backfield and down the stretch.
-
Acceleration - Has the ability to burst in any direction in the blink of an eye and get to true 4.4 speed nearly instantaneously.
-
Vision - His vision and knowing when to burst is elite in gap and inside zone.
Weaknesses:
-
Third Down Profile - Rarely used in the passing game, has too many drops for his number of targets over the years, and is not reliable in pass protection.
-
Size - He is decently built for 5'9, but his legs could use a bit of bulk to help shed NFL tacklers.
-
Outside Zone - Struggles a bit with outside zone concepts at times, especially knowing when to stop waiting and take the short yardage as to avoid a loss.
3. Blake Corum - Michigan
Pro Comp: Jaylen Warren (as a pure runner, not as a receiver)
Film Grade: Mid Third
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 213lbs
Strengths:
-
Staying Low - He gets really low for his jump cuts, allowing him to change direction multiple times almost instantaneously. He has a low center of gravity, and uses it fully to his advantage at 5'8. He also has elite vision, allowing him to effectively utilize these backfield cuts into the greatest amount of space.
-
Contact Balance - Corum has strong legs and is difficult to take down without fully wrapping him up.
-
Goal Line - Has the build, vision, and burst of the optimal goal line back. He is strong, can find the opening, and is small enough to plow through for short yardage.
Weaknesses:
-
Receiving Profile - He is never really targeted in the Michigan offense. 14 receptions on 16 targets with a drop and only 82 yards (5.9 per reception).
-
Speed - Lacks home run speed despite running a 4.44 in high school. Supposedly runs closer to a 4.6 now.
-
Size - There are certainly concerns on how effectively his skill set will translate to the NFL. It is very difficult for guys of his size to succeed as exclusively between the tackles runners.
4. Dylan Laube - New Hampshire
Pro Comp: Austin Ekeler
Film Grade: Late Third
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 208lbs
Strengths:
-
Backfield Cuts - His ability to make guys miss in the backfield is not seen often in this class. With 75 missed tackles forced in 2022, he has shown the ability to consistently avoid tacklers at every level.
-
Vision - Incredible zone vision. He always seems to maximize space.
-
Route Tree - He runs legitimate routes downfield from the slot. He has impressive breaks, a great release, and an vast route tree for a halfback.
Weaknesses:
-
Power - He will not run through tacklers in the NFL. He is not a violent runner, and lacks the size to compensate for the lack of lowering his shoulder into contact.
-
Drops - He has six drops on the year. This is not that worrisome for his NFL outlook, but is definitely something to monitor. His ability to legitimately play wide receiver in combination with great pass protection should keep him on the field in third down situations.
3.Top End Speed - His top end speed is not bad, but it would be surprising if he ran in the low 4.5s at the combine.
5. Bucky Irving - Oregon
Pro Comp: Kyren Williams
Film Grade: Fourth
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 195lbs
Strengths:
-
Jump Cuts - Stays low and displaces a lot of ground, even on some difficult angles.
-
Navigation - He understands how to work his way through the defense without really having to break tackles. He uses lead blockers well and keeps his hips low to the ground.
-
Vision - Elite vision on any type of run.
Weaknesses:
-
Size-Speed - He is under 200lbs and already not the fastest for the position.
-
Pass Protection - Abysmal pass protector.
-
Big Plays - He makes guys miss in the backfield and in open space, but he will not take a screen to the house. He is the type of back who can somehow find 5-10 yards extra with his vision, balance, and elusiveness, but not 50+ all that often, especially in the NFL.
6. Devin Neal - Kansas
Pro Comp: Tyjae Spears
Film Grade: Fourth - Fifth
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 210lbs
Strengths:
-
Dead Leg - His dead leg in the open field is incredible. His ability to cut acutely without slowing down is not seen often. Excellent change of direction overall.
-
Burst - He can get to top speed very quickly out of the backfield.
-
Second Level Elusiveness - Neal has the agility and elusiveness to make guys miss at any level of the field.
Weaknesses:
-
Long Speed - Lacks home run speed.
-
Contact Balance - Very low yards after contact, and it shows up on tape. He is not always taken down by arm tackles, but they do slow him down more than they probably should.
-
Pass Protection - Must improve in pass protection if he wants to be more than a change of pace back at the next level.
7. Will Shipley - Clemson
Pro Comp: Justice Hill
Film Grade: Fifth
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 205lbs
Strengths:
-
Zone - Shipley is an explosive back good vision, and can find the whole and burst through it quickly.
-
Elusiveness - His cuts in the open field are low and quick.
-
Burst - He has quick feet that get him up to his true 4.4 speed in a hurry.
Weaknesses:
-
Mass - His balance as an athlete is quite good. He just lacks the size and bulk to consistently shed or run through tackles. He has some powerful reps throughout his tape, but his lack of size will be more noticeable in the NFL.
-
Patience - He tends to lack patience in gap schemes, and try to get out in front of his blockers.
-
Blocking - Awful pass protection and only adequate hands at best may limit his role in the NFL.
8. Braelon Allen - Wisconsin
Pro Comp: Derrick Henry
Film Grade: Fifth
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 245lbs
Strengths:
-
Linear Acceleration - He can hit the hole hard for his size.
-
Momentum - Once he gets a full head of steam, it is very difficult to bring him down.
-
Shedding Defenders - He has excellent contact balance, and regularly brushes players off of him with stiff arms or by simply running through them. He also lowers his shoulders ridiculously low to work through contact.
Weaknesses:
-
Third Down Skill Set - His pass blocking has been abysmal throughout his entire career. He has too many drops for his receiving workload, and is likely limited to early down and grunt work at the next level.
-
Agility - His jump cuts and dead legs are subpar at best. He is a very linear player.
-
Backfield Finesse - If a defender gets into the backfield before Allen accelerates, the play almost always results in a TFL.
9. Ray Davis - Kentucky
Pro Comp: Jerome Ford (as a pure runner, not as a receiver)
Film Grade: Fifth - Sixth
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 216lbs
Strengths:
-
Foot Speed - He is shifty in the open field, and can make people miss in a phone booth. He also can perform moves immediately after receiving the handoff to make defenders miss in the backfield.
-
Receiving Ability - Very fluid receiver who can run a multitude of routes downfield.
-
Gap - He uses blockers extremely well.
Weaknesses:
-
Top-End Athleticism - He lacks top end speed, strength, and has only adequate burst out of the backfield, although he is still enough of an athlete to succeed at the position.
-
Power - His low center of gravity helps him stay up through light contact, but he lacks overall power and leg strength.
-
Vision - He has inconsistent vision on zone runs. He tends to bounce outside a bit too often as well, which will not work for him as much in the NFL.
10. Donovan Edwards - Michigan
Pro Comp: Chuba Hubbard
Film Grade: Fifth - Sixth
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 210lbs
Strengths:
-
Athleticism -The former five star recruit clearly has great athleticism all around for the position. If he can learn some fundamentals such as staying low, knowing when to cut, and understanding when to take what is given, then he could be a home run hit.
-
Open Field Running - He is fast and can be utilized on screens.
-
Third Down Potential - He flashed in the receiving game and had enough plus pass protection reps to indicate that he could become a third down back after learning for a year.
Weaknesses:
-
Vision - He clearly lacks vision and often does not run through the optimal gap. He also lacks patience and does not use blockers well.
-
Backfield Cuts - Edwards has higher hips than he should in the backfield, limiting his ability to jump cut and pivot.
-
Contact Balance - Rarely is he seen breaking tackles in any real capacity.
