Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson is coming off a massive 2025 season: 1,450 rushing yards, 12 touchdowns, and 5.8 yards per carry while earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors. After four seasons in Lincoln (including one redshirt year), Johnson enters the 2026 NFL Draft as one of the most dynamic and instinctive running backs in college football. In this full scouting report, we break down: Elite lateral agility and instinctive vision Explosive burst and second-level acceleration Contact balance and lower-body strength at 5’11”, 200 lbs 3-down receiving value (92 career catches, just 2 drops) Areas for improvement, including pass protection and downhill consistency Is Emmett Johnson a true Day 2 pick — or could his weapon-like skill set push him into Round 1?

We’re breaking down BYU linebacker Jack Kelly and his full 2026 NFL Draft evaluation. Measured at 6’1”, 246 pounds at the Senior Bowl, Kelly is one of the more intriguing “tweener” defenders in this class.

On film, Kelly flashes high-level instincts as a run defender. His ability to read offensive line movement, diagnose zone concepts, and trigger into his run fits makes him a consistent presence around the football — even when the stat sheet (55 tackles in 2025) doesn’t fully reflect his impact. He plays with strong hands at the point of attack and rarely gets displaced.

The questions come with athletic ceiling. Does he have the true sideline-to-sideline speed to play full-time off-ball linebacker in the NFL? In coverage, there are flashes, but route feel and long-speed can show up as limitations.

Where Kelly may offer real value is as a pass rusher. With 10 sacks in 2025 at BYU and previous production at Weber State, he’s proven he can win on blitzes, stunts, and situational edge alignments. His first step, strength, and timing allow him to affect the pocket — even if he isn’t a full-time edge defender.

Is he an off-ball linebacker? A sub-package rusher? A developmental hybrid? We break it all down and finish with a full draft grade projection.
