Happy for my buddy Thomas Duarte. We were together at UCLA and then again when he started his career in Miami as a late-round draft pick. He’s a bit of a hybrid tight end with good route running skills and his best attribute is his hands and body control in the air. Probably a longshot to make the roster, but he stuck around for a couple years on the Dolphins practice squad and made some plays in practice while I was there. Pulling for you TD!

I had to be ok with nobody seeing what God saw... I had to be ok with just being me & God for awhile. I had to let them sleep on me. Well, It's time to wake them up. #KeepPounding @Panthers

I'll be back in the NFL next season. When I do, I promise I'll be one of the best to do it.

Good grief. In a league full of massive men, that's a MASSIVE man.

Yep he caught everything at UCLA.  I always think of the play at 0:39 when I hear his name. Points to the body control/hands you speak of.

    • Thats how GMs get fired.  Sure Bowers is the anomaly but the history of first round TE's is fuging brutal at best.  Now you want to pick one in the top 10?  Oof.  You want to play with fire, go ahead and be my guest but dont go crying when your ass is fired morgan.   But all you guys pining for Warren need to realize its not going to happen, even morgan isnt that stupid and it shows by the lack of top 30 visit.   https://www.profootballnetwork.com/tight-ends-first-round/
    • Chicago will not trade up for a Jeanty.  Thinking a team will trade up to the top 5 for a RB with the idea of finding trading partner for your current RB1 is a LONG shot proposition for the Jags (I have heard the same rumblings about this scenario).  I honestly think they are putting out smoke just hoping to move back.  At #5 there should be more value and this draft is very thin with elite talent at the top.  Again, they are simply trying to fabricate a scenario to move back and get more value.
    • UPDATE:  CHARLIE CAMPBELL HAS CHANGED THE PROJECTION OF THE PANTHERS SELECTION. HE NOW PROJECTS JALON WALKER TO GO TO THE RAIDERS AT 6.  HE PROJECTS MYCHEL WILLIAMS TO GO TO THE PANTHERS AT 8.  6. Las Vegas Raiders: Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia Pete Carroll has always placed an emphasis on drafting pass rushers and addressing the defensive front seven. Las Vegas could use linebacker help as well. Having Walker at Sam linebacker could be similar to Carroll using Bruce Irvin as a Sam in Seattle, and give the Raiders a pass rushing trio with Maxx Crosby and Tyree Wilson. Walker is also a high-character leader who will help the culture reset under another new regime in Las Vegas. Walker is a dangerous edge rusher for the Bulldogs, showing speed and athleticism off the edge. In 2024, he had 61 tackles with 6.5 sacks and two passes broken up. Walker had five sacks as a rotational player in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is too undersized to be a base edge rusher in the NFL, so he will have to be a linebacker who rotates to rush off the edge in the subpackage.   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia The Panthers need a true replacement for Brian Burns. Williams gives them a talented edge rusher that also has size to defend the run. In 2024, Williams had 21 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles thus far. He missed the month of September with an injury. Williams totaled 16 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and two passes batted in 2023. As a freshman backup in 2022, he recorded 4.5 sacks and 28 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder has a lot of upside and an excellent skill set.
