2024 NFL Draft Watch: Which Group of 5 prospect can make a statement?

New York Times  

This Saturday’s college football slate is missing a marquee matchup like Texas–Alabama provided last week. Stat of the Week Quarterback Sam Hartman has received most of the praise for Notre Dame’s 3-0 start, as he’s leading an offense that is averaging almost 500 yards per game. Featuring a talented defense and an offense that’s currently averaging 43.0 points per game, Miami should be a much more interesting team to watch in upcoming matchups with ACC foes like North Carolina, Clemson and Florida State. There isn’t enough of a sample size this season to say he is “falling” as a pro prospect, but Burch’s lack of impact on the Texas Tech tape was a missed opportunity. Here is the summary from his scouting report in the 2023 NFL Draft Guide: A two-year starter at BYU, Nacua was an inside and outside receiver in offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick’s balanced scheme.
