Despite a relatively easy week for most big college football programs, these NFL draft prospects could help their draft stock significantly in Week 2.
Style Point Saturday is upon us. Last week’s college football opening weekend was one to remember, but now the vast majority of top-tier programs are playing in games that they’re heavily favored to win.
On the bright side, Saturday is a great chance to check out some of the most talented players in college football as they try to show why they belong in the NFL. With so many games to choose from, there are a few NFL draft prospects I’m keeping my eye on in Week 2.
USC receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is projected to be a first-round pick after the season is over. Unfortunately, the 19-year-old didn’t look as poised as expected in his first game of the year.
Smith-Schuster was completely shut down by Alabama’s top-tier defense in Week 1, catching just one pass for nine yards. Going against the likes of Marlon Humphrey, JuJu couldn’t find a way to get open.
In order to show everyone that was a fluke, the USC receiver needs a serious bounce-back game against Utah State. He’s an intimidating matchup for even the best defensive backs at 6’2” and 220 pounds. He’ll need to utilize that size to create some separation and make some plays on Saturday.
