Charlie Campbell· Oct 29, 2026
Previewing college matchups with NFL draft relevance, Campbell calls Georgia cornerback Eillis Robinson IV a likely first-round pick and suggests USC quarterback Jayden Maiava could come off the board in the middle rounds.
“Robinson looks like a future first-rounder, so it would really help Singleton if he can show that he can be effective at getting separation from a future pro starter.”
