The right side defender is still not skating after being on the receiving end of a reverse hit last week.
Former Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill can make one social media post into a kicked beehive, and he just did so with a workout post in his old NFL home.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter long weekend…I certainly am happy that I used a few holiday days to stretch it to a full 7 days without doing my day job. Moving on to look at the Western Conference’s wildcard race before action gets underway on Monday. The Winnipeg Jets are currently 3 points behind the Nashville Predators & Los Angeles Kings, who are tied for the 8th and final spot. The San Jose Sharks are only 2 points back of those clubs and 1 up on the Jets, while the St. Loui...
When you ask certain questions for the fans you always have an idea of where things will end up. At least you expect to. So, last week when I asked where you would want the Arizona Cardinals to draft Ty Simpson I strongly expected to see the highest percentage of respondents to be what it […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than three weeks away and the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. While Drake Maye is a big reason in that, New England is expected […]
The news just keeps coming on prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft who will be visiting the Green Bay Packers.

The Cleveland Browns head into their first day of the offseason program on Tuesday with the final two and a half weeks of 2026 NFL draft prep ahead.

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, fans and analysts will be firing up their mock draft machines in hopes of creating a perfect first round; however, ESPN writer Bill Barnwell has taken a different approach. In his latest mock draft, he instituted an all-trade policy where every pick must be moved. While for some teams, […]
It might physically kill a top-100 player to run agility drills this year. I’ve been running a Green Bay Packers thresholds big board for the past several years here at Acme Packing Company, an endeavor that grows increasingly futile each and every subsequent year as fewer players in the rounds that matter actually complete testing.

It’s NFL Draft Season! Before you read, some important context… I’ve ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fit. So while I may rate player ‘X’ higher than player ‘Y’ on pure talent, ‘Y’ could rank higher here due to fit or need. Focus more on tiers than exact order. Players in […]
Last week, I asked you to predict who would lead the Tennessee Titans in receiving yards in 2026: Wan’Dale Robinson is the pretty heavy favorite there. It makes sense given the success Robinson had the last couple of years in Brian Daboll’s offense. He will have a leg up on the rest of the guys […]
One of the best defensive players in the NFL over the past couple of seasons has requested a trade. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dexter Lawrence wants out of New York. Lawrence has two seasons left on his contract with the Giants, with cap numbers of $26.9 and $28.9 million in each of the next two […]

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the Miami Hurricanes football team is sending one of the strongest groups of prospects to the next level. We haven’t seen a batch of players from Miami like this in quite a while, and we can hear a few names being called as early as round one. From potential […]

D’Angelo Ponds CBIndiana HoosiersJunior 3-star recruit 5’9”182 lbs History As a freshman in 2023 at James Madison, Ponds played all 13 games and made 10 starts, putting up 51 tackles, two tackles for loss, two interceptions, […]
Everything was going the Nationals’ way for most of yesterday’s game, as they had a 6-1 lead entering the 6th inning thanks to a 2-run Luis Garcia Jr. home run, a Keibert Ruiz single which ricocheted off the first base bag, allowing CJ Abrams to score, and a 3-run laser home run off the bat […]
The Phillies’ western swing started out well with the team scoring seven runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Rockies. Unfortunately, the offense largely dried up throughout the remainder of the series The Phillies will try to get their bats going again when they travel to San Francisco for a three-game series […]
It’s only 10 games, people! That’s just 6.2% of the season! The San Francisco Giants’ 3-7 start, then, shouldn’t be cause for a complete fandom meltdown. Seriously! Okay… honestly. Okay… maybe. Look, it’s not great. It’s reflective of all the downside risks that were apparent when the team was cobbled together in the offseason. But […]
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t sign a backup quarterback in free agency, which means that they could look for one in the 2026 NFL Draft. This may not be a great quarterback class, but that also might mean that the Rams could find good value at 13 or even later in the draft. Throughout the […]
Last week, on the ‘On My Soul’ podcast, former Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl tight end Eric Ebron caused some national stir, when he recalled that current longtime team general manager Chris Ballard gave retired franchise quarterback Andrew Luck an ‘ultimatum’ that he either commit to the team and play through lingering pain for the 2019 […]
I TOLD you March is problematic So since we last left the Nats they... became the Nats we expected. Joey Weimer is not a secret superstar. The pitching is not just fine. They actually didn't do a bad job hitting against LA but it wasn't enough. The good news is they are done with perennial playoff teams for a series. The bad news is the next week isn't super easy - at least if you believe the early season results. St. Louis looks to be an average team, while Milwu...
When it comes to the San Francisco 49ers’ needs heading into the NFL Draft, wide receiver and another pass rusher are at the top of the list. After you’re done deciding which of those positions are more pressing to address, you’ll probably land on one of the spots in the secondary if you haven’t penciled […]
