Chirco: I have two names: EDGE Keldric Faulk and offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor. Both have recently become popular mock draft targets of the Lions at No. 17 overall. Subsequently, I’m intrigued to see how dominant they will be in their respective drills at the combine this upcoming week.

After a dominant 2025 campaign that resulted in several awards and honors, along with leading Indiana to its first football national championship, Fernando Mendoza was clearly the best quarterback and overall player in college football.
