Kids who will be playing on Sundays: Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith looks like future No. 1 pick in record-tying performance

Smith made defenders look silly on several plays, including a 72-yard TD catch in the first quarter. The Ohio State star said he felt "bad" for putting Illinois defensive back Mac Resetich in the spin cycle.

Draft gurus also feel bad for DBs who are guarding Smith. In a story published Saturday, Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports noted that some of Smith's tape reminds him of Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Johnson.

Texas Longhorns junior edge-rusher Colin Simmons

Bleacher Report's Brad Shepard listed Simmons as his No. 4 most pro-ready player in a story published this past Wednesday. The Texas star, however, sometimes forgets to act like a pro.

After sacking Tennessee Volunteers freshman QB Faizon Brandon in the second quarter of a Saturday road game, Simmons was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for "simulating using the restroom" while celebrating. Juvenile.

Despite the asinine penalty, Simmons' play helped Texas in a 20-17 road win. He tied the program's record for sacks (five) in a game, set by Shane Dronett in 1990. The edge-rusher also had eight tackles, tied for the third most on the team.

After watching Simmons dominate, ESPN's Jordan Reid called it the "best game of his career" and noted that's "why scouts believe he's the best edge in this class."

Florida Gators junior RB Jadan Baugh

This past Wednesday, Baugh told SEC Network that his dad texts him a picture of the Heisman Trophy weekly and says, "Go get me that." The motivation tactic is clearly working.

Baugh delivered another Heisman-worthy performance in a 52-28 home win over the Ole Miss Rebels, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries. After Week 4, the RB now leads the nation in rushing TDs (11). Combine his skills with those numbers, and that's another reason many are giving Baugh an early first-round grade.

"He's got some top speed along with the size [6-foot-1, 225 pounds], physicality and the ability to make you miss," NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah said in a "Move the Sticks" clip posted on Friday. "Looks like a first-round RB all day long."

Oregon Ducks senior TE Jamari Johnson

Oregon senior QB Dante Moore was stretchered off in the second quarter of a 41-27 road win over USC after USC LB Desman Stephens II hit him in the head. Stephens was ejected for targeting, while Moore was taken to the hospital and later diagnosed with a concussion. 

Junior QB Dylan Raiola replaced Moore, finishing 19-of-25 passing for 289 yards and two TD passes. Johnson — who had a team-leading 119 receiving yards on seven receptions — served as the backup QB's safety valve throughout the evening.

His best catch didn't count. Johnson made a sweet one-handed grab late in the second quarter, but a holding penalty erased the play. Scouts will still count it when discussing the TE's excellent hands, another reason he may be TE1 in the draft.

"I love the way he consistently plucks the ball from his frame," CBS Sports' Mike Renner wrote of Johnson in a story published in August. "He has the kind of game that could easily translate to first-round selection if he sees a big leap in production this fall."

Georgia Bulldogs junior LB Chris Cole

Cole had his breakout performance in a 41-13 home win over the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. He recovered two fumbles, returning one for an 85-yard TD.

Georgia — which has produced elite NFL stars like Roquan Smith (Baltimore Ravens) — has a fantastic track record at LB. As a result, scouts are paying more attention to Cole.

"Cole was the best athlete I saw on Georgia's defense a year ago," wrote The Ringer's Todd McShay on Sunday morning. "Now the verified 6-foot-3, 235-pound LB is turning those tools into a more complete game, and his stock should only continue to climb."
