Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
This is a huge weekend for me and that’s because my four-year-old is having a birthday party on Sunday, so if someone else is writing the newsletter on Monday, it’s because I didn’t survive.
Not only is it a big weekend for me, but it’s also a big weekend for two of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. Colorado will be holding its Pro Day at 2:30 p.m. ET on Friday. This will be the last time that Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter get to show off their talents in front of NFL scouts. It’s an especially big day for Sanders, who’s being projected to go anywhere from second overall to 26th overall in our latest round of mock drafts here at CBS Sports.
Colorado’s Pro Day will actually be televised, and we’ve got all the details here.
As for this newsletter, we’ll be taking a look at the 20 teams who are eligible for “Hard Knocks,” plus we’ll be breaking down Geno Smith’s new contract and unveiling our seven-round mock draft for the Cowboys.
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.
