Arch Manning is already receiving hype, and Nahlin believes Manning could end up being the best college football quarterback since Joe Burrow at his peak. But who will he be throwing to? Daylan McCutcheon and Ryan Niblett have made plays during the most recent week of drills. McCutcheon is someone who could step in for DeAndre Moore if needed, but also has a bright future.

Tackle depth is a little bit of a concern. While Trevor Goosby is a strong player and the position battle between Brandon Baker and Andre Cojoe sets up well, the depth looks like a true freshman in Nick Brooks. That can have its pitfalls in the SEC.

Optimistic updates about CJ Baxter, Quintrevion Wisner, the EDGE position with Colin Simmons and Colton Vasek, the battle at cornerback, and much more follow.
