Week three of the 2023 college football season is over; we have more names to add to our 2024 NFL Draft watch list after another week of college football.
Throughout the 2023 college football season, we will examine the weekly 2024 NFL draft-eligible prospects whose stock is rising or who need to be on the radar after a big performance. Some of these players may already be in the top 50 NFL Draft rankings; many will be in the unpublished top 100 to be released at a later date.
As the season progresses, many of the prospects we add will be guys performing at a high level weekly and less about the single-game performances.
The 2024 NFL Draft Big Board is Live
Spotlight Player of The Week
Washington QB Michael Penix Jr.
This Week's 2024 NFL Draft Watch Prospects Of The Week
Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. vs. Michigan State
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Penix was elite on the road vs. Michigan State on Saturday, completing 77% of his throws for almost 500 yards and 4 TD's. He did not have a single turnover-worthy play, according to PFF.
UNC QB Drake Maye vs. Minnesota
Wk Grade: Near Elite
Summary: Maye was not elite overall because of two INT's, but he was efficient overall, completing 73% of his throws for more than 400 yards and 2TD's in the win vs. Minnesota.
UNC QB Shedeur Sanders vs. Colorado State
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Another week, another elite performance. Sanders led the Buffaloes to a come-from-behind 4th QTR win vs. rival Colorado State. He completed 81% of his 47 total pass attempts for 347 passing yards and 4 TD's. Sanders turned on "Brady Mode" this week. What will he do next?
Notre Dame RB Audric Estime vs. Central Michigan
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Estime is a wrecking ball. Against CMU, he rushed for 176 yards on 20 rush attempts with 108 yards after contact.
Alabama RB Roydell Williams vs. USF
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Alabama had to find someone to lean on vs. USF, as their QB situation is a disaster. Williams accumulated 128 yards on 16 attempts, averaging 8 yds per rush. We expect he will continue to get a heavier workload while Bama tries to figure out their QB situation.
Michigan WR Roman Wilson vs. Bowling Green
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Wilson has been Michigan's top receiver on the year through three weeks. He has 6 total TD's, and he hit pay dirt once again vs. Bowling Green.
Florida State TE Jaheim Bell vs. Boston College
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Bell was targeted 5 times, caught them all, and scored a TD against the Eagles on Saturday.
Ohio State Edge Jack Sawyer vs. WKU
Wk Grade: Elite
Summary: Sawyer finished the day vs. WKU with 7 total pressures on the QB and an elite PFF grade.
