Bears select CB Zah Frazier in the 2025 NFL Draft: Social media reacts
The #Bears take UTSA cornerback Zah Frazier with the No. 169 pick.
Ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at 6'3' and had 6 INTs this past year. Lengthy press corner with great ball skills. I had him ranked No. 127 — very good value. pic.twitter.com/MvFckndq42 — Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) April 26, 2025
Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft has been all about speed for the Chicago Bears. In the fifth round, the Bears selected cornerback Zah Frazier out of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Frazier is the third defensive player the Bears have taken in a row, along with defensive tackle Shemar Turner in the second round and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite in the fourth round.
Frazier is a tall and fast corner, standing at 6 feet 3 inches and 186 pounds. He showcased his speed at the NFL Combine by running a 4.36 40-yard dash and displayed his ball-hawking skills during the 2024 season at UTSA. Frazier finished tied for second in the FBS with six interceptions, which was a school record, according to NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein.
Now as a pro, Frazier will compete in the Bears secondary that has starters such as Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, and Tyrique Stevenson. Here is how social media reacted to the pick:
Aside from Luther Burden, Zah Frazier was my favorite draft pick for the Bears. — BOOG (@BoogCB) April 26, 2025
Bears took CB Zah Frazier from UTSA in Rd 5 to add to their secondary.
Fast and long. But certainly more of a "traits" pick it would seem. — Dan Wiederer (@danwiederer) April 26, 2025
That's not a running back, sir. https://t.co/7pDaVfUw30 — Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) April 26, 2025
Frazier is one of the Freaks of the Draft. Ranks very well in the vast majority of athletic scores.
Has the right size and athleticism to give himself a shot. — Irish Bears Network | Ciaran (@IrishBearsShow) April 26, 2025
The #Bears picks so far on day 3: Speed on the defensive side of the ball. — Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) April 26, 2025
CB Zah Frazier is an older prospect who only had 1 year of starting experience at UTSA. But he has outstanding height and length and ran a blazing 4.36. Outside corner who probably needs to add some strength. — Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) April 26, 2025
Zah Frazier is a BALLER! Love that he is coming to Chicago!!!! — The other Derrick from Simeon 💙💛 (@ChiLottery) April 26, 2025
Zah Frazier is very interesting here for Chicago
Older prospect, but you don't find many corners with the following:
- 6'8' wingspan
- 4.36 40
- 6 INTs this year
- Pedestrian 35.8 passer rating when targeted
Excited to see his career unfold.

Zah Frazier had a second round grade for us and has the profile to become a starting boundary corner in the NFL.
One of our favorites pick in this draft. https://t.co/Xh0V40rCEA — Gridiron Grading (@GridironGrading) April 26, 2025
Zah Frazier is a freak of nature at corner. Fairly good in press coverage but needs to add a lot of bulk to fill out his 6-3 frame. — Erik Duerrwaechter (@EDuerrwaechter) April 26, 2025
In Zah Frazier, the #Bears got one of the most unique DB athletes on the 2025 class.
At 6'3, Frazier ran a BLAZING 4.36 at the NFL combine, and that rare speed and movement ability shows up on film.
He stood out all @ShrineBowl week long, with great timing, recognition, and… pic.twitter.com/8pskrZtHK5 — Eric Galko (@EricGalko) April 26, 2025

Eagles Given Top Grade For All-Pro Tackle Duo
Eagles Given Top Grade For All-Pro Tackle Duo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have the best offensive line in the league, and that isn't changing anytime soon. All five starters on the unit are signed through the 2027 season. Advertisement A big reason for Philadelphia's recent success in the trenches has been its two stalwart tackles, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Since both were named starters, Philadelphia's line has reached new heights as a collective unit. They have blocked for a 2,000-yard runner, an MVP finalist, and have won a Super Bowl. Pro Football Focus is just the latest publication to speak out in favor of Philadelphia's tackle tandem. In their weekly series ranking each position group, the analytics site ranked Mailata and Johnson as the best offensive tackle duo in the league. "Bookending the best offensive line in football, Mailata and Johnson are the best offensive tackle duo in the NFL and, arguably, the best players at their respective positions," Zoltán Buday said. "Mailata's 95.2 PFF overall grade led all offensive tackles in 2024, while Johnson's 88.9 figure ranked second among right tackles. Advertisement "Johnson's 88.7 PFF pass-blocking grade was the highest at the position. Johnson's 2.2 percent pressure rate allowed ranked second among all tackles and led all right tackles, while Mailata's 3.7 percent clip ranked eighth among all offensive tackles." Philadelphia has had a strong history of excellent tackle play. Mailata and Johnson are just the latest duo to excel. Johnson, the former fourth-overall pick out of Oklahoma, is a five-time All-Pro and considered maybe the best right tackle in modern history. Mailata, meanwhile, was a seventh-round draft steal who has grown from a rugby star to an NFL success story. Few teams in the league have two quality tackles on their roster. Even fewer can claim both of their tandem as Pro Bowl talents. The Eagles are the only team that can call both of its tackles the best at their respective positions. Advertisement It's why they remain a top team in the league.

Your 2025 Dolphins Offensive Stat Leaders
A couple of nights ago, I asked the following question: What's your prediction for who will lead the Miami Dolphins offense in any statistical category? Give us your list of leaders, along with statistical numbers, if you also want to predict those. Below are some of your thoughts and answers- Advertisement SlayerNation1 has all of the usual suspects. Achane 800/400 yards Hill 1400 (Waddle will miss games 1100) Tua 3,000 yards passing, will miss games Smith if He plays 700 yards, many of his short passes/behind LOS passes could go to a RB or Conner. Mcadaniel leads the league with 30 Delays of Game dedstrk316 added some new statistical categories. Injuries: Tua, Chubb, Phillips, at least one oline player. Timeouts due to not being able to get the play call in on time: McDaniel Hissy Fits: Tyreek Being a total badass: Seiler and Grant How the heck did he do that: Achane, Waddle Yarganaught doesn't know who it's going to be but believes that the run game will be a focus this coming season. Oh gosh, I really don't have any idea who will be The Man at any spot. I think the running game will be a focus, and the O-line will improve in that area. But will those carries go to Achane, or will he become an increased passing threat? Perhaps Wright or Gordon II will surpass him in rushing yards and TDs. As mentioned below by JUK, will MMD spurn Hill's ego (in what could be his final season with Miami) in turn for Waddle's? Similarly, will MMD try to replace Jonnu's TE production with one of the other TEs on the roster, will Achane assume many of those shorter yardage passes, or will a WR3 step up as the TE (Pharoah) assumes more of a blocking role again? And that's just on Offense!!! Dolphster sees the status quo remaining. Interesting question. I think Tua, Achane, and Hill will still lead in passing, rushing, and re Smith will stay, play to the same standard but be at least 20% down in counting statsceiving. Even if Jonnu stays, I don't foresee him replicating last year's stats, so I don't see him repeating for most receiving TDs. Not sure who I would guess would take that lead this year though. Maybe Achane for most overall TDs, but not receiving TDs. JUK has Achane leading the team in yards and Waddle besting Hill. Achane will lead the team in total yards from scrimmage, that's the easiest call for me if he's healthy. Waddle will outplay Hill, whether he leads the team in receiving yards depends if McD has learned his lesson or if he keeps trying to feed balls to protect Reek's ego. Bill Moody sees Tua staying healthy. QB (All) - Tua (he stays healthy) RB (Rushing and Scrimmage Yards, TDs) - Achane (Wright didn't look good last year, and Ollie is new) WR (Receiving Yards) - HIll (while I think both Hill and Waddle will have a resurgance, I think Hill gonna be on a warpath) These seem most likely to me. It seems that if there is any consensus, it is that things will continue as they are. Thank you to each of you who took the time to answer our question of the day. More from

Josh Allen Defends Second-Year Bills' Receiver: 'Very Smooth'
Josh Allen Defends Second-Year Bills' Receiver: 'Very Smooth' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills only got a small taste of what former second-round receiver Keon Coleman can do. The Florida State product caught 29 passes for over 500 yards in his first season in the league. Advertisement While he showed the kind of potential that most teams look for, Bills fans were concerned about his lack of production. The team isn't too worried, though. In an interview noted by Bleacher Report, reigning league MVP Josh Allen discussed Coleman's production and the young receiver's future. "He looks very smooth right now. I feel like he's put on some muscle, he's moving quicker, not just physically but mentally, with our offensive system," Allen said. "I think he's attacked this offseason the way you would want a second-year receiver to attack." Allen has worked with a quality All-Pro receiver before. Stefon Diggs helped him become one of the league's better signal-callers. Advertisement Last year, Allen didn't need a star receiver to become the MVP. And ... Buffalo doesn't have a clear-cut No. 1 receiver. But it is comfortable with its current collection of weapons. If Coleman can develop into a star receiver, that will even help Buffalo's offense. It's easier said than done, though. Every offense needs a guy with Coleman's skill set as a deep-threat wideout. He'll still need to earn more playing time with acquisitions like Joshua Palmer, and Elijah Moore added this offseason. Allen still believes in his young receiver. If Coleman can take a jump in his second season, Allen's numbers will remain among the best in the league - and maybe Keon can be key to another MVP.
