Javon Small, G, West Virginia
Height: 6-1 • Weight: 190 • Class: Senior • Age: 22
Summary: Small is an undersized guard who plays bigger than his body thanks to his excellent athleticism and gritty nature. He’s a knockdown shooter off the catch and a solid lead guard, though his lack of size puts a natural cap on his upside.

Comparisons: Terry Rozier
Strengths
Shooting: Small has elite touch from the line at 87.1% in four college seasons. As an upperclassman, he figured out his jumper, making 42.5% of his catch-and-shoot 3s.
Playmaking: Demonstrates solid vision and decision-making in pick-and-roll situations, improving each year in college to become a steady hand running an offense.
Athleticism: Small plays bigger than his body, often finding himself above the rim on the break or off cuts in the half court. He logged 14 dunks as a senior and finished 56.6% of his layups.
Defense: Small is a pest on defense who frequently gets his hands in the passing lanes, including in clutch moments. But at his stature he could become a target.
Concerns
Shooting off the dribble: Small made 32.1% of his dribble jumpers as a senior, which is pretty consistent with his production throughout college. Because of his size, his shots are more easily contested.
Size: Small is in the name. He’ll get picked on defensively.

NFL Preseason Week 3 Recap: Buffalo Bills 23, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19
As the Bills seek to bolster their defense in 2025, they received encouraging contributions from potentially emerging players in their preseason finale, a 23-19 win over the Buccaneers. Fourth-round pick Deone Walker continued his impressive August, amassing three pressures and a 33.3% pass-rush win rate on 12 pass-rushing snaps. Also, corner Dane Jackson permitted just two catches on his four targets, letting up seven yards and forcing an incompletion in the process. Although this contest didn't feature either Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield, the two sides combined for 616 total yards and 14 explosive plays. Tampa receiver Tez Johnson and Buffalo running back Frank Gore Jr. each secured a 15-plus-yard reception of their own as they fight for roster spots. PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive […]

NFL Preseason Week 3 Recap: Miami Dolphins 14, Jacksonville Jaguars 6
The Dolphins closed out their preseason with a tune up on both sides of the ball, defeating the Jaguars 14-6 in an intra-state clash. Miami's defense limited Jacksonville to only 190 total yards and no explosive passes. Second-year edge rusher Chop Robinson registered two pressures and a sack on only six pass-rushing snaps, while Bradley Chubb also notched a sack in his second taste of preseason action in his return from season-ending knee surgery.
