— Last week's article led with Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams, who had a terrifying moment when he collided with a goal post after catching a touchdown, causing a fracture in his neck. Speaking to team sources this week, I'm told Williams is expected to miss 8-10 weeks but should be at 100 percent health following that time needed for the bone to heal.
— Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III injured his knee and will be out three to four weeks, per team sources. I asked around to NFLscouts this week about Wright, and the general feeling from the four "early looks" I received is that Wright is too small and not powerful enough to be a Round 1 player a year from now.
— Braxton Miller shook up the world with his electric play at wide receiver for Ohio State against Virginia Tech, which prompted me tostart asking questions about how the NFL sees him. As one top decision-maker texted me, "He's too small to be a 1 (Round 1 player), but man he'll be a great 2."
— Vernon Adams has started one game at Oregon, but his play at Eastern Washington in the past had him coming into the year as, what one scouting director told me, a "top 50 senior grade." Adams faces Michigan State this weekend in a game that will put his draft prospects to the test.
— Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is my top-ranked player at the position, which prompted one scout to call me this week to complain about his lack of explosiveness and burst. Treadwell may be seen higher in the media than on team boards right now.
— Keep an eye on Tre Madden, the running back at USC. He was a name scouts told me this week to go back and watch. Madden, a redshirt senior, has been banged up in the past but rushed for 106 yards in Week 1.
