At ESPN.com, one of the college football leads is, “Biggest positive spring takeaway for every top-25 team.” For Boise State, it might be simply that the Broncos are on this list at No. 24. Beyond that, here’s the narrative:

It’s NFL Draft week, and the talk surrounding Boise State’s Jeremy McNichols centers on his deceiving speed, timed at 4.49 seconds in the 40 at the NFL Combine two months ago.
