Austin Abbott

Here’s what I bought my 8 groomsmen, make sure you take care of your boys

Elijah Sarratt really caught a TD on 23.4% of his receptions this season.. Since 2022: - 1st in TD’s (44) - 1st in Yards (3,652) - 1st in Contested Catches (54) Elijah Sarratt also has 242 Career Collegiate Receptions and 0 Fumbles.. Elite ball security is truly invaluable

What’s going on brother, his prior injury concerns are completely warranted. What’s enticing about his profile is quite literally everything else: his size (6’2, 203 lbs), his early production (99th percentile) dominating as a true freshmen at Colorado and so much more. Special route runner, can thrive at all 3 WR roles. Body control is amazing, I’m not a scout but the film genuinely looked so strong to me. Learned from Hines Ward as well, thought that was pretty cool.

@AustinAbbott So 1 great catch and a bunch of injuries ?

Jordyn Tyson is the most talented Wide Receiver in the 2026 class His 34.2% College Target Share ranked in the 97th percentile.. Averaging 110.7 YPG and 1 TD in his 7 career games against ranked teams was truly exceptional Man I seriously see some shades of OBJ in his tape..

@GeorgeRaimondi KW all day mane

@AustinAbbott who do i keep? k9 or bucky?

Instant thoughts from Free Agency: - Ken Walker to the Chiefs is a home run, A+ landing spot - Mike Evans to the 49ers is low key a really good landing spot in 2026 (Aiyuk/Jennings likely gone, Kittle tore his Achilles in January) - Alec Pierce’s deal is going to look brutal in a year, I think it’s an egregious overpay. $116M for a guy who’s never recorded 50 receptions in a season blows my mind. For context: ARSB’s contract is 4 Years, $120M - Tua Tagovailoa to Atlanta honest to God feels like one of the greatest realistic landing spots available for him. Yes, he’s a real upgrade from Michael Penix Jr. and I don’t view it as particularly close - Maxx Crosby’s deal falling through is a W for Baltimore. I feel confident saying they would’ve overpaid (2 1st’s) but yes sometimes you need to push the chips in. Fully understand wanting to capitalize while you have a generational talent in his prime at QB - DJ Moore to Buffalo, it’s about damn time they added a legitimate NFL WR. I know they paid a 2nd and that’s a lot.. if I was their GM I would trade up in the 2026 NFL draft and select Tate/Lemon/Tyson. Buffalo needs another high end prospect to join their WR room - JK Dobbins staying in Denver is awesome. He’ll continue to be their RB1, he dominated touches over RJ Harvey last year and will continue to do that in 2026 (as long as he’s healthy) - Daniel Jones is going to get exactly what he wants. The longer the Colts wait, the more leverage he gains on Chris Ballard. Less viable options remain each day at the QB position, Kyler Murray/Mac Jones are the only other realistic options I could see, both being a downgrade imo - Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders is a grand slam, I LOVE it man. Wheels up for Ashton Jeanty btw, he’s absolutely the biggest beneficiary here - Malik Willis in Miami is.. fun? I know he’s not going to hoist the Lombardi and I know he’s not going to be the answer they’re looking for longterm.. I’m just happy he’s earned a fighting chance at being a team’s QB1.. He’s got the opportunity, if he ever wants to succeed in this league NOW is the time that he needs to capitalize - Romeo Doubs to the Patriots is decent, am I crazy for thinking he’s instantly their WR1? They paid him (up to $80M) like it.. they should seriously add another quality WR as well on Day 2 during the draft - Travis Etienne (4 Years, $52M) holy bag. Look, he’s a very solid RB, I’m just blown away by his contract. Tough scene for Kamara/Neal, bottom line is the Saints need to continue to add real playmakers. They got one, but at what cost.. - Isaiah Likely is a real difference maker, he will play his best football yet in 2026. The Giants crushed here, there’s a lot of people out there that don’t understand how impactful this move is and will soon realize. One of my favorite moves by any team during Free Agency so far - Breece Hall franchise tag is frustrating. He’s shown enough and deserves a long term contract that compensates him extremely well. I actually really liked the Minkah Fitzpatrick signing by the Jets for what it’s worth.. - Geno Smith signing with the Jets feels like we’re living in a simulation. Are they secretly brilliant here? Intentionally tanking to land the 2027 1.01 already - Michael Pittman Jr. to Pittsburgh is a pretty notable upgrade from their former WR2 (Calvin Austin Jr.), I bet Aaron Rodgers is sitting up in his recliner as we speak - Rico Dowdle to Pittsburgh.. my first thought was RIP Kaleb Johnson.. Rico’s a pretty good player, he’ll cut into Jaylen Warren’s workload a good bit - Rashid Shaheed just fits like a glove in Seattle.. really happy to see him retained (3 Years, $51M) - Wan’Dale Robinson (4 Years, $70M) honestly feels like a bargain.. I instantly view him as Tennessee’s WR1. Cam Ward’s got his best weapon yet with more help on the way

@RealSkipperBudd That feels appropriate, tbh I’d rather Dobbins over a mid 2026 2nd.

@AustinAbbott Curious if you have a price for Dobbins in dynasty? Mid 2nd?

Short answer is yes, RJ Harvey can still provide value and have a reasonable role. His volume will be very limited, last year it was but he was unbelievably efficient when it came to fantasy points per touch. The film and production last season + new contract makes me believe Dobbins will remain Denver’s RB1.

@AustinAbbott I've seen lots of takes on the Denver backfield situation. Is it the contract that leads you to believe Dobbins will be RB1? Can Harvey still have a decent roll, especially in PPR?

My thoughts from the 2026 NFL Combine: - The Combine is trending in the wrong direction for a handful of reasons - Highly promising prospects not competing makes sense (sometimes) financially for them, it also makes me question their competitiveness and commitment - Is this the fastest class collectively of all time? I don’t believe so, there were a ton of prospects who didn’t run due to it negatively impacting their draft capital which ultimately skewed the classes average 40 time - What the hell happened to the 3 cone drill? 11% of DL ran this drill, that’s 7 out of 64 prospects.. for what it’s worth: in 2017 we saw 94% of CB’s run the 40 yard dash, in 2026 it was only 63%.. - This combine was frustrating due to the lack of participation, and ultimately I land on the sentiment that a lot of these prospects just aren’t that good. Unless you’re injured or extremely confident in your profile, you should perform at the combine. - If you know your numbers are going to likely hurt your draft capital and your agent is in your ear telling you to sit out, I understand the process but it makes me view you as less of a competitor and that would keep me up at night as a GM - I’m optimistic that the 2027 class will participate at a higher rate and be a significantly stronger class overall Alright enough complaining, let’s talk about the fun stuff: - Jordan Tyson is my WR1 in this class - Mike Washington Jr. excuse me but 4.33 (99th percentile) is just silly at 6’1, 223 lbs. You have my attention.. - Jeremiyah Love actually exceeded my already high expectations. I’m just really impressed, he’s so special man. - Bryce Lance’s stock is up tremendously, he blew me away this weekend. Hell of an athlete, probably a 3rd round pick now.. - Carnell Tate reminds me of Chris Olave, my current WR2 in the 2026 class - Omar Cooper Jr. is likely an early Round 2 selection as of today, there is a world that exists where a team drafts him very late in the 1st round - Fernando Mendoza’s a rock star. His interviews, his preparation and his leadership are all things you can’t put a price tag on - Ty Simpson’s got a little more buzz this time of year than I expected, some team will roll the dice on him earlier than you think - Cole Payton has to be rising in your rankings, I’m more intrigued each week in his physical traits, arm strength, ball placement and speed.. - Drew Allar has more potential than most would like to admit, you can’t teach the size - Kenyon Sadiq is an alien, that’s all you need to know - Eli Stowers can jump out the gym, 45.5 inch vertical leap is a new combine record for TE’s.. what a dawg The NFL Draft is my favorite day of the year, April 23rd can’t come soon enough y’all

@jasrifootball @CameronWolfe I believe it

𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: There is “mutual” interest between the Vikings and Colts QB Anthony Richardson, per @CameronWolfe This would make a lot of sense. Richardson vs JJ McCarthy QB battle for 2026?

Rondale Moore was raised by a single mother, he was the youngest of 4 children He graduated from Purdue in less than 3 years The second he made it to the NFL he made sure to prioritize his mother by buying her a house As a true freshman at Purdue he put up: - 114 Receptions - 1,471 Total Yards - 14 TD’s Rondale Moore was 5’7, 180 lbs with 1st percentile arms (28”) and was still the most electric player on the field BY FAR Dude squatted over 600 lbs in High School He was unbelievably gifted, I’m glad he was able to help his mother and family out and make them proud. Rondale Moore accomplished so much in his 25 years and had such a bright future, not just in football but in life. May he forever rest in peace

@ConnorJRogers @TampaBayTre let her host the pod

Need about 7 more but she’s ready

@kuala_t3 Happy birthday big dawg, hope y’all have a great day

Great start to the birthday weekend celebration with my better half!❤️🥳🥂

@comnsensesports Yessir, that’s a mistake on my end, he was granted a 6th year of eligibility. Thank you for the long response!

Isn't Chambliss going back to school? I'm curious how Klubnik does at the combine Allar too. Klubnik might move up the boards after the combine. Was a good dual threat QB in 2024. 6'2. Someone is going to get a stud wr when Boston falls to them. J'mari Taylor is going to be a great find as a RB 2 with his low center of gravity and 4.4 speed. Some say even faster. Him and Singleton are probably the two fastest rbs in the draft. ND TE Eli Raridon is interesting with his size. #nfldraft

Here’s what I’m most excited for about the 2026 NFL Draft: - 4 Teams have multiple 1st Round Picks (NYJ, DAL, LAR and CLE) - We could very easily see 5+ WR’s selected in the 1st round - Jeremiyah Love, potentially the biggest non-QB difference maker in the entire class - QB2 debate in this class fascinates me.. Cole Payton, Ty Simpson, Trinidad Chambliss and Drew Allar all intrigue me for different reasons - RB2 debate is going to be wild, there’s A LOT of prospects that could seriously get there. Emmett Johnson feels like he’s still under-appreciated imo - Jordan Tyson/Carnell Tate/Makai Lemon will have consensus’ attention, rightfully so.. all I’m saying is that Denzel Boston (6’4, 209 lbs) and KC Concepcion (earned 106 Targets as a true freshman) have a lot of admirable traits.. - Some “analysts” claim only 11 prospects as true 1st round grades in the 2026 class.. if this ends up being accurate we should absolutely expect more trades than normal early on in this draft.. - I think it’s refreshing and appropriate to not hear the term “generational” in this class.. still a handful of high end prospects however - Drafting Caleb Downs will be equivalent to plugging a gold bar into the roster of one very fortunate NFL team - There’s an abundance of Day 2 RB’s in this class I’m eager to see perform at the combine - The WR Depth in this class is going to be talked about for years to come.. Man I genuinely cannot wait for April 23rd

@Bears_Dubz I appreciate the response, it actually slipped my mind that he’s going back. I was fully anticipating him declaring and becoming this classes QB2..

@AustinAbbott Trinidad goin back to school. He got another year of eligibility. Wish he did come out though. Has a case for qb2 imo. One guy ppl are sleeping on is drew allar. He’s injured but he was playin good in 24’.

@dmn_9 Seattle was getting the ball back trailing with 47 seconds left and no TO’s. Think it’s fair to say they were on the ropes, just funny how the best team in the NFL was even in this position to begin with.

@AustinAbbott On the ropes? Lol we held them to 16 points which was BELOW the ppg avg we gave up (16.9) which was already good enough for…*checks notes*…best in the NFL.

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Phillip Rivers had the Super Bowl champs ON THE ROPES after being 5 years removed from the NFL.. Only 3 days of practice prior to this game Any given Sunday man

@duwapenjoyer He threw 5 TD’s, 0 INT’s and 350 yards wym?

@AustinAbbott phillip rivers was not doing anything that game the offense for seattle was just struggling against the colts defense

Here’s 60 seconds of Quinshon Judkins balling out

The Jaguars 27 Point Playoff Comeback (2022 Wildcard) Trevor Lawrence in the 1st Half: - 1 TD - 4 INT’s - 10/24 (77 yards) Trevor Lawrence in the 2nd Half: - 3 TD’s - 0 INT’s - 18/23 (211 yards) Jacksonville’s 31-30 victory was the 4th largest playoff comeback in NFL history
