EDGE DEFENDER
Adrian Clayborn, New England Patriots – 91.0
Coming off a career year, Clayborn played 24 snaps as a starter against the Eagles and was one of the chief beneficiaries of Halapoulivaati Vaitai’s disastrous game at left tackle. Clayborn racked up a sack, a hit and two hurries in 19 pass-rushing snaps.

LINEBACKER
Ben Niemann, Kansas City Chiefs – 91.7
With an interception to his name and solid grades in coverage and against the run, Niemann was one of the standouts at linebacker this week. Niemann’s interception may have been thrown straight to him thanks to pressure collapsing the pocket and forcing an errant throw, but he made a nice move to find space and fought through contact to bring it back for six the other way.

CORNERBACK
Josh Jackson, Green Bay Packers – 95.2
We were high on Jackson heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, and had him as the eighth-ranked player on our final big board. His performance against the Steelers on Thursday night highlighted why. Targeted three times in coverage on the night, Jackson didn’t allow a single reception, and scored on an interception return. Overall, he ended the game having allowed a passer rating of 0.0 on throws into his coverage.

Why is clayborn playing that much in a preseason game?

Once NFL scouts see Iowa next to a prospects name, that's all they need to look at. They're getting well schooled, committed, hard working and humble. I friggin' love the way our program works.
