Surely you've heard the news that Aaron Donald is back. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year retired after the 2023-24 season, but now he's back, two seasons later, to join Myles Garrett with the Rams. And just like that, arguably the most formidable defensive line tandem in history has been formed … if Donald is the Donald we remember. How will he perform in his return? Let's see what […]

Texas quarterback Arch Manning enters his redshirt junior season as the most celebrated and scrutinized quarterback in the country and thus is the most intriguing NFL prospect. But he's not a shoo-in to be the No. 1 overall pick of the 2027 NFL Draft. There is no denying Manning’s appeal.

INDIANAPOLIS — So often we hear players and teams quickly push aside talk of any success they had the previous season. They’re almost allergic to it. It’s seen as complacency and a distraction to the current year’s objectives. Not for Daniel Jones, though. The Colts quarterback would rather remember the high level the Indianapolis offense played at early last season — a dominant unit leading the way to an 8-2 […]

No one knows for sure how things might change during the upcoming college football season, but early indications are that the 2027 NFL Draft will be the strongest in years.

But the beauty of next year's draft class is that […]

A Louisiana court ruling permitting NFL players to return to campus has ignited immediate pushback from college football’s top powerhouses. Despite heavy penalties from the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12, head coaches remain sharply divided over how to handle the roster chaos. To no one's surprise, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is leaning right into the storm. Rather than diffusing the backlash over his latest roster additions, Kiffin doubled […]

Seattle has the fourth-best odds to win the Super Bowl this year and is a rare defending champion that is not even favored to win its own division. Granted, the odds are what they are for a reason.
