Remember the name Dean Connors

[Eric Galko @EricGalko]

.@UHCougarFB RB Dean Connor had dynamic 2025 season (5.2 yards per touch) including 34 catches, and was outstanding at @ShrineBowl week, especially as a receiver.

Somewhat surprising Combine snub, he posted a 4.45 forty, 39.5 vertical and 6.95 three-cone at 200+ pounds. His GPS numbers at UH are also outstanding.

He’s one of just two non-Combine RBs that I expect have a STRONG chance to get picked.

#Iowa QB Mark Gronowski put together an outstanding Pro Day workout after being a frustrating NFL Combine snub.

Top-5 most athletic QBs in the draft per RAS, including and especially the jumps and 10-yard split.

Gronowski’s throwing session was strong, per scouts there, and is still a favorite among more than a few teams on Day 3.

Tough, experienced, athletic, smart and NFL-ready. Hard to find.
