We've made it to Draft Day! Now that we're only hours away from Day 1, there's no better time to drop a big board.
I'm a bit late to the party this year, but the 2025 Jacob Big Board is linked below. As always, this board is 100% accurate and correct.

4th and 25!? 😲
On this date in 2015, Arkansas converted a first down using a lateral on 4th-and-25 in OT. The Razorbacks went on to upset No. 18 Ole Miss after a TD and 2-point conversion.
Ole Miss had a 95% win probability prior to the play and it is one of two 4th-and-25+ conversions in OT in the last 20 FBS seasons.
Agreed, but really need Jaelan Phillips to stay healthy to realize the 4-3 to the fullest potential
Todd Wash called a 4-3 under in JAX and it could be argued the #Panthers have better 4-3 talent (especially in under fronts) than 3-4 talent.
Hypothetically speaking, if they put in some of those looks...
Big end (5-tech): Derrick Brown, Aaron Hall
NT (1 Tech): Lee Hunter, Bobby Brown
3T: Turk Wharton (exponentially better fit here than anything they've asked him to do over the past two years), could use both Browns, Hunter, Hall and Pat Jones here, too.
LEO: Jaelan Phillips, Pat Jones, Princely Umanmielen, Trevis Gipson
WILL: Tyrel Dodson
MIKE: Devin Lloyd, Jackson Kuwatch
OTTO: Bobby Okereke, Jones, Gipson, Phillips
With the Packers game added to the sample, the number ends up at 20.34% of games allowing 200+ rushing yards during the Evero era in Carolina - Compared to just under 7% throughout the rest of franchise history

Firing Evero is cool but it should’ve been done after he had a historically bad defense. You could’ve had this offseason to get a new defense installed.
Jacob retweeted
Maybe the primary job of a defensive coach is to find ways to impact the opposing QB. Evero's defenses were consistently poor in that regard (albeit with weak personnel often)
From 2023-2026, no defense had a lower pressure rate than the Panthers under Evero, and no defense had less sacks
Long overdue. 20% of his games allowing 200+ rush yards is unacceptable. The more interesting part of this to me is that there is real pressure on Dave Canales for the first time in his Carolina tenure. Things need to turn around quickly for him this season

Charles Barkley gets emotional addressing Ernie Johnson:
“It’s been an honor and privilege to work with you all this time.”
Johnson announced today that he will be leaving Inside the NBA after this season.

from 2012 through 2022, the Panthers allowed 200+ rushing yards in 10 games
from 2023 to six games into 2026, the Panthers allowed 200+ rushing yards in 12 games (Ejiro Evero's time as DC)
the Panthers have allowed 200+ rushing yards in 20.69% of the games that Ejiro Evero has been the team's defensive coordinator

I’m not sure how 24 instances were omitted in my search but we corrected it after going game by game. I apologize for the initial wrong percentage in the ‘95-‘22 range
Replying to @JoshNorris
Thanks for pointing that out. The actual number is 32 times from 1995-2022 (including playoffs). We’re getting it corrected in the article.

There were dozens of damning stats you could point to following the Panthers' lifeless loss to the Bucs.
One @JacobLequire pointed out?
#Panthers DC Ejiro Evero's defense has allowed 200+ yards rushing in 20.69% of games he's been in Carolina.
