Why? Kyler Murray won’t be ready for the start of the season due to ACL rehab, while Colt McCoy has durability (and performance) issues of his own. Tune Profile: Tune totaled 4,591 yards (4,074 passing, 544 rushing) and scored 45 touchdowns with the Houston Cougars last season. - He was the most experienced quarterback prospect in the class, with 47 collegiate starts. Impressive: Tune (No. 139 overall) totaled more yards and touchdowns last season than the first-round trio of Bryce Young (No. 1 overall), CJ Stroud (No. 2 overall), and Anthony Richardson (No. 4 overall). Notable: The 6-3, 220-pounder ran a 4.60 in the 40 at the NFL Combine. He had the second-best Relative Athletic Score and the fourth-best S2 Test score among quarterbacks. Image: @Cardinals Steelers [Najee Harris] Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren look more ‘explosive’ than last year Details: The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly writes that Harris looks “slimmed down a tad from last year” and appeared more [explosive]( in spring practices. 2022 Review: Harris, who was limited by a foot injury last season, totaled 1,263 scrimmage yards (1,034 rushing, 229 receiving) and 10 touchdowns on 313 touches (4.3 yards per touch). Warren: Kaboly used the words “bigger” and “beast” to describe Warren’s second-season “body transformation.” 2022 Review: Warren, as an undrafted rookie, totaled 593 scrimmage yards (379 rushing, 214 receiving) and 1 touchdown on 105 touches (5.6 yards per touch). Interesting: Kaboly wrote that there is “no way” offensive coordinator Matt Canada can keep Warren “off the field as much as he did last season.” Image: Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire Broncos [Jerry Jeudy] Broncos’ offense to prioritize yards-after-catch Details: The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider [writes]( that Russell Wilson “will more frequently be granted opportunities to spray the ball around the field and give his receivers room to run.” Data: From 2017 to 2021, Sean Payton-coached Saints’ teams ranked 6th in yards-after-catch-per-reception. - Kosmider expects the team’s revamped offensive line to give Wilson enough time to execute Payton's offense. - Denver spent a combined $139.5 million on RT Mike McGlinchey and LG Ben Powers this past March. Advantage: Between-the-numbers passing will keep Wilson from having to push the ball downfield — which was a weakness of his last season. - Wilson completed just 36.3% of 80 pass attempts that went 20+ yards in the air — the second-worst efficiency in the NFL. Good Sign: According to Kosmider, Wilson was sharp on short to intermediate passes during May and June workouts. Opportunity: Payton’s scheme should benefit pass-catchers with explosive yards-after-catch talent — like Jerry Jeudy, Greg Dulcich, and rookie second-rounder Marvin Mims Jr. Image: Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire Supplemental [Milton Wright] Purdue WR Milton Wright approved for Supplemental Draft Details: Wright, who did not play last season for academic reasons, will become [available]( to NFL teams on July 11. - The NFL has not held a Supplemental Draft since 2019. Profile: Wright caught 57 passes for 732 yards and 7 touchdowns with the Boilermakers as a junior in 2021. - He performed well in big games, catching 7 passes for 98 yards and 1 touchdown against Ohio State and 8 catches for 213 yards and 3 touchdowns against Northwestern. Skill-Set: Wright offers intriguing size (6-3, 194) and speed (reportedly runs a 4.50). Image: Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire Moore [DJ Moore] DJ Moore set for heavy targets in 2023 Details: Multiple reporters have been impressed by the chemistry between Justin Fields and Moore. Kevin Fishbain (The Athletic): "The best play of Wednesday’s practice was a deep ball from Fields to DJ Moore… Fields dropped it in the bucket with impressive precision, and Moore hauled it in for the explosive gain. Their rapport has been the [best]( part of the offense this spring.” Courtney Cronin (ESPN): “The timing and trust Fields and Moore have displayed early on is something Chicago will lean on to help the offense take the next step in the quarterback's third season. Even without being in full pads, the [spark]( Moore provides is apparent to Bears players on both sides of the ball.” Deep Ball: Cronin expects Moore to be heavily involved in the deep passing game, which has been a point of emphasis this offseason. - Moore tied for eighth on receptions of 20 yards or more with the Panthers last season. - During his two last seasons at Ohio State (2019-2020), Fields threw 18 touchdowns and 0 interceptions on throws at least 30 yards downfield.
