Good Pro Day for one of the more notable NFL Combine snubs in @IlliniFootball James Thompson.
His bench and broad numbers match what you see on film: strong and explosive. One scout told me position work was outstanding as well.
Should be one of the first handful of non-Combine players drafted this year.
Had a DOMINANT @ShrineBowl week too.

Sources: Cincinnati is firing coach Wes Miller, who did not reach the NCAA Tournament in five season there, per me and @jeffborzello. Miller went 100-74 over five years, two in the AAC and three in the Big 12.
Reports indicating Hendrickson chose Baltimore because he felt it was the best culture fit to be on a team that also backs out of deals they agreed to.
Absolutely bonkers news in the AFC North. The Ravens have been a model NFL franchise for years and fired their HC after one season of missing the playoffs.
The Bengals have missed playoffs THREE years in a row and kept everyone. Insane how different teams operate.
Since Super Bowl 56
Bengals are 36-31
Rams are 37-31
Rams mortgaged their future. Trading away multiple first and second round picks to win SB 56.
They went 5-12 the next year and have gone 32-19 since that off year.
Elite level front office and coaching make a big difference!
The Bengals organization is not in same stratosphere.
Continuity in Cincinnati: Bengals are bringing back head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin for the 2026 season, per team president Mike Brown.
Biggest smile on Corey Kiner’s face as he walked onto the field at Paycor Stadium.
Hometown kid back in Cincinnati playing for the Cardinals.

Bengals are going 7-10 and will draft some defensive bust.
Reds will miss out on Kyle Schwarber and sign Josh Bell.
UC football will lose to Navy.
UC basketball will finish under .500 and keep Wes Miller.
I love Cincinnati sports!
Amazing.
I am not arguing Vanderbilt's ranking. However ...
The fact Vanderbilt, per selection committee comments, did not get much credit for beating rival Tennessee (9-3) on the road because they won by so much the committee dropped the Vols out of the rankings, but ...
Alabama moved up for beating rival unranked Auburn (5-7) on the road because it was a close game and made a "gutsy" call on a late touchdown should go down in selection committee Hall of Fame reasoning.
