top 50 prospect rankings<\/a>, the fourth edition of this year’s list.<\/p>\nHere are the biggest risers from Jeremiah’s updated rankings, along with commentary from the analyst.<\/p>\n
Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State (+6 up to No. 33)<\/p>\n
“McDonald has excellent size and strength for the DT position. He’s at his best against the run… Overall, McDonald will provide value on run downs, but he needs to develop a better plan of attack as a pass rusher.”<\/p>\n
Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas (+5 up to No. 32)<\/p>\n
“Hill is a fluid mover with outstanding size and speed… Overall, Hill isn’t an overly violent\/aggressive player, but his athleticism is an asset at the position.”<\/p>\n
Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee (+4 up to No. 25)<\/p>\n
“Hood has average size but excellent play speed and toughness… Overall, Hood is a complete player and should be a very solid starter immediately at the next level.”<\/p>\n
KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M (+4 up to No. 29)<\/p>\n
“Concepcion is an undersized receiver with elite burst and inconsistent hands. His speed jumps off the screen… Overall, Concepcion is an intriguing player who needs to decrease his drop rate.”<\/p>\n
Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas A&M (+4 up to No. 41)<\/p>\n
“Rodriguez is an off-ball linebacker with outstanding instincts, playmaking ability and intangibles. He’s a dominant player against the run, sorting through the muddy box to locate ball-carriers and bring them to the ground… Overall, Rodriguez is polished and equipped to make an immediate impact.”<\/p>\n
Keylan Rutledge, IOL, Georgia Tech (up to No. 47, previously unranked)<\/p>\n
“Rutledge has excellent size and length for his position. He shows great awareness in the run game, fitting up consistently and straining to finish… He plays with a lot of toughness and intensity, which will endear him to offensive line coaches. Rutledge should be a plug-and-play starter at guard in the NFL.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Biggest risers in Daniel Jeremiah’s latest prospect rankings We are officially three weeks away from the start of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[48939,2468,9,11,10],"class_list":{"0":"post-183270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-giants-now","9":"tag-homepage","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-headlines","12":"tag-new-york-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
