Not to throw any cold water on the straight heat Bruce Feldman brings every single year with his "Freaks List" for The Athletic, but I can't help but notice how exaggerated it's become at times. Unfortunately, it's disappointed me in the end as a Cincinnati Bengals fan more than once.

Taking a pause from the granular details of Bengals camp — exciting as some of them are thanks to Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and others — Feldman just dropped his annual lineup of college football's freakiest athletes, rife with the typical eye-popping testing numbers and enough hype to give fans of any implicated teams a gridiron-laced shot of epinephrine.
