I feel Doug Blue-Eli is going to get drafted. He is definitely putting in the work in the weight room. Last year he came in looking puffy and finished camp in better shape. Now they said he is up 322 from 320 Ibs but still looks much slimmer. Even though he came from TCU he pretty much had a tougher road to where he is at than even Sean Atkins. 

"He committed to Delaware State as a high-school junior, but said that offer was pulled at the last minute and he had no other options. He went the junior-college route in January 2020, just in time for COVID. He became a junior-college All-American in 2021 at Monroe College in New Rochelle, N.Y., before accepting an offer at TCU. Blue-Eli played in just four games and preserved his redshirt as the Horned Frogs made the College Football Playoff championship game. The fit never seemed right, though, so Blue-Eli was on the move again and he has found a home at USF."
