The receipts
No recruiting service wrote a word here. The national rank was the promise; what happened next is the whole story.
“The No. 2070 player in America.”
Drafted No. 50 overall, round 2 — by a program that never signed him.
“The No. 1862 player in America.”
Peak grade of 29 on our 0–100 scale.
The report card
Star power and cohesion are graded against all 297 qualifying classes, 2021–2023. NFL production and on-field value are graded against just the 107 other 2023 classes — a 2023 signee simply hasn’t had as many draft-eligible years as a 2021 signee, so those two dimensions compare like-for-like instead of penalizing recency. Overall GPA still ranks across all 297.
