College Football Week 4: NFL Draft big board rankings
Week 3 of the college football season is over and in the books. It’s now time to evaluate the top NFL Draft prospects heading into Week 4.
The games are piling up and the stretch run of the college football season is about to begin. With conference play set to start for most teams, this is about to be the best time of the year for college football. It’s also a great time for players to elevate their draft stock.
Week 3 saw multiple players elevate their stock, some have theirs drop and others unable to make any moves because of circumstances out of their control. At this point in the season, guys already have a solid amount of tape on them.
Still, the tape can always improve for anyone and it’s more important now than ever with bigger games set to take place. With Week 4 on the horizon, it’s time rank the NFL Draft prospects on the big board.
Azeem Victor
LB, Washington
Another one of those athletic linebackers that will be asked to do everything, Azeem Victor has a chance to really push his stock forward as the season goes on. Now that he’s healthy and back on the field for Washington, he should continue to make an impact as the year goes on.
Playing in his second game of the season on Saturday night, Victor finished with a couple of tackles against Fresno State. He even had a nice pass deflection as he showed off his ability to move in coverage as well.
It wasn’t the biggest of nights for Victor and his draft stock, but he showed flashes of what he can be for the team this season. With Washington’s defense finding themselves early after losing plenty of players to the draft, guys like Victor will have to hold everyone together.
Thus far they have done a great job in their non-conference portion of the schedule. Now, the Huskies will begin their conference slate and that’s where Victor’s leadership is going to be more important than ever.
If they want to be the Pac-12 Champions and back in the College Football Playoff, players are going to have to emerge. Victor hitting his stride and becoming one of the top linebackers would be just what the Huskies need.
