# Ross Jackson: Jackson expects Jordan Tyson to top 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie without reaching 1,500, sees Cesar 'Torricelli' Simpkins holding the backup center job, projects Kaden Ellis at weak-side linebacker contributing to the pass rush, and names Jaden Price as his dark horse to make the 53-man roster.

4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 1 player season number and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.

> I would not be surprised if Jordan Tyson's rookie year is a strong rookie year, a la, like, Tetrauma McMillan from last season.
