Pro Day News and Rumors: Deonte Banks, Calijah Kancey, and Drew Sanders Solidify Draft Stock (Offensive lineman Nick Broeker, who played left tackle for two years before moving into guard this season, took snaps at center for scouts.)

Lions 2023 draft: An offensive guard for every round (6th round: Nick Broeker, Ole Miss - Broeker made a smart career decision by bumping inside to left guard in his senior season after two years as the Rebels’ starting left tackle. His powerful initial punch and strong leg drive translate a lot better inside than outside at the next level.  The 6-foot-4 Broeker thrived at the Senior Bowl, where he was very good in drills at locking into a pass rusher and staying engaged without holding. He also showcased better athletic range than he showed at Ole Miss, though that was not reflected in his combine testing.)

10 Senior Bowl prospects who helped themselves as potential Lions this week (Nick Broeker, OL, Ole Miss:  Broeker showed outstanding functional athleticism while playing both left and right guard all week. His ability to get out into space and block was nicely captured here by Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer,  Broeker did this all week. He’s not a powerful guard who can handle strong bull rushers. Neither was Evan Brown, Detroit’s starting right guard in 2022 who is a free agent. Broeker would be a plug-and-play starter in Brown’s old spot and shouldn’t cost more than a fourth-round pick.)

Senior Bowl notebook: Day 2 standouts and notes (Nick Broeker from Ole Miss has very good open-field movement skills and the ability to engage in space from a variety of angles. He’s not a terribly powerful run blocker but he wins with hands and great feet. Very good fit for a team that likes to use its guards on the move.)

2023 Senior Bowl preview: 4 players to watch for Detroit Lions (Nick Broeker: Guard, Ole Miss - The Lions offensive line was strong last season, but there are a lot of questions about what this team is going to do at right guard. Will Evan Brown stick around? Will Halapoulivaati Vaitai be able to come back healthy and ready to go or will he be a cap casualty? What the Lions should really do is find their next option there, even if he’s just a depth guy in 2023.  Ole Miss’s Nick Broeker can be that guy. The thing I like the most about Broeker is that he’s a flat-out athlete. The guy ran a 4.90 coming into college, an impressive mark for a 315-pound lineman. He played multiple sports in high school and his athleticism has also allowed him to play multiple positions on the field.  Technique and polish are important—and something Broeker needs to work on—but they can be taught. Athleticism is something that makes you a threat if you walk through the door with it. Broeker is currently slated to go on Day 3.)

Senior Bowl 2023 OL Primer: What You Need To Know (Nick Broeker, Ole Miss:  There wasn’t a single 1 or 3-tech to his side that was able to work past him this fall (zero sacks allowed). With excellent bend in his lower half and constantly active hands, he’s a tough player to beat within the interior. Expect his name to rise during Senior Bowl week.)

Rebels Quinshon Judkins, Nick Broeker Earn All-America Honors (Broeker earned a second team All-America spot with the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).  Broeker anchored Ole Miss’ offensive line for Judkins this season. He has played in nearly all offensive snaps (907) for the Rebels, helping lead them to an 8-4 regular season record and a Texas Bowl appearance this year. Broeker hasn't allowed a sack in 505 pass blocking snaps and is a large part off an Ole Miss offense that ranks No. 3 in the FBS in rushing yards per game (261.6) and No. 7 in total offense (491.2).  The Springfield, Illinois, native is a member of offensive line unit that has helped blocked for a rushing attack that features the only team in the country with two players over 850 yards rushing. Ole Miss is the only FBS team with more than 5,500 yards of total offense, while having more than 3,000 yards rushing.)

2022 All-SEC College Football Team and Individual Honors (First-Team All-SEC Offense - G: Nick Broeker, Ole Miss) (12-6-22):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/all-sec-college-football-team-and-individual-honors-2022/

Top Week 7 2023 NFL Draft Prospect Matchups To Watch (Ole Miss G Nick Broeker vs. Auburn DT Colby Wooden:  Nick Broeker played OT earlier in his Ole Miss career but has shifted inside to left guard this season. The results have been fairly positive, as he’s a better fit inside with his lacking length. Broeker still sometimes struggles with control and hand placement, but he’s a dense, mobile interior blocker who can use his width and grip strength to manage blocks.  Colby Wooden is a good test for him, and vice versa. Wooden is a bit underweight for the interior, but his smooth athleticism, proactive hands, and angle flexibility pose a definite challenge.)

College football Week 5 live reactions, results, and takeaways (Broeker struggling at his new spot
2:30PM- Ole Miss offensive lineman Nick Broeker was a prospect I consistently graded as a third round prospect the past two years when he lined up at left tackle.  All along I mentioned Broeker’s best next level position would be offensive guard and when he was pushed inside to that spot this season I believed it would be to his benefit.  Too date it seems I was incorrect as Broeker has looked lethargic and uncomfortable in confined quarters today.  TP) (10-1-22):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/college-football-week-5-live-reactions-results-and-takeaways/

2023 NFL Draft Board: Top Prospect Battles To Watch In Week 4 (Ole Miss G Nick Broeker vs. Tulsa DL Anthony Goodlow:  Nick Broeker made the switch from tackle to left guard this year, giving NFL teams a first-hand look at how he’ll project in his likely NFL role. Broeker doesn’t have the length or strength coveted in tackles, but he’s a smooth athlete who’s shown he can cover ground as a run blocker and hold his own in pass protection.  Tulsa’s Anthony Goodlow — an alignment-versatile defender with impressive rotational freedom, power, and a tireless motor — presents a challenge for Broeker. And conversely, Goodlow can use this game to drive his stock up.) (9-23-22):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2023-nfl-draft-board-top-prospect-battles-to-watch-in-week-4/

SEC 2023 NFL Draft prospects and scouting reports include Bryce Young, Will Levis (Nick Broeker, OT | Grade: 3.68 | Projected Round: 3 - The Rebels’ top prospect is offensive lineman Nick Broeker, who indicated throughout last season that he was going to enter the 2022 NFL Draft but decided to return to Ole Miss. Broeker is a fundamentally sound blocker who is fluid and moves well around the field. He lined up at left tackle the past two seasons, but he’ll kick into guard this season, the position he projects to on Sundays.  Broeker grades as a third-round prospect on my board, but if a team believes he can line up in a zone-blocking scheme, there’s an outside chance he slides into the second round.)

Top Ole Miss Prospects to Watch in 2023 NFL Draft (OG Nick Broeker:  After playing left tackle for the Rebels for three seasons, Broeker is moving inside for his senior season. The former freshman All-American, Broeker has been one of the best offensive linemen in the SEC throughout his career. He wins with high-level athleticism, quickness and technique. Broeker plays with excellent pad level and knee bend as well. Broeker's success at left tackle with guard measurables makes him an intriguing player for the upcoming season. He is arguably the top senior offensive lineman in the country and should take that next step at guard this fall. Broeker has the talent to be the top interior offensive lineman in the 2023 class.)

Ole Miss’ 2023 NFL Draft prospects led by Zach Evans, Isheem Young (Nick Broeker, G:  Having gained attention in the last cycle, Nick Broeker returns as a potential standout in a 2023 NFL Draft offensive line class that doesn’t appear to have a consensus leader early in the running. Broeker’s game is predicated on above-average athletic ability, some technical refinement, and lower body strength. The Ole Miss guard can mirror even the most athletic pass rushers and gets out to the second level well in the run game. His lower body strength is evident in his pass protection anchor and leg drive in the ground game.) (6-13-22):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/ole-miss-2023-nfl-draft-prospects/
