Yep.  
 

I love the metric - age of “breakout season.”  
 

Which is why I think there is very little room for growth for Nix, Penix, and even Daniels. 
 

Not saying they won’t be good players.  Or can’t improve.  
 

It’s more likely imo that Daniels and Nix take steps back.  Could be wrong.  They can absolutely still maintain what they’re doing.

 

And I think Stroud can still significantly improve.  
 

 

Any draft eligible 23 year old no matter the position - I’m immediately skeptical.  
 

It’s why I’m still high on Keon.  
 

 

I've been tracking breakout age for over a decade 

 

Jayden Daniels while being an old college player.. by the metrics his breakout age was 2019 his freshman season at 19

 

Over 240 ypg... A 7-1 touchdown to interception ratio.. 150 rating with 300 rushing yards 

 

That's hitting breakout metrics as a freshman

 

Joe burrow didn't hit his breakout metrics till he was 22

I’ve entered my information, but at 39 years old in May, despite a legendary college career (in my mind), I do not expect a call on draft weekend. Again. For the 15th straight year. But without hope, what do we have, right?

I text/call my wife every year after the draft is over telling her the bad news. Last year she said "you're 40, time to give up the dream"

I don’t mind drafting a player who is a bit older in the third round or later.  Don’t love it in round 2 and would hate it in round 1.  It really limits their upside, IMO.
