The Dallas Cowboys, after a draft day trade on Thursday, selected former Oklahoma Sooners offensive tackle Tyler Guyton with the 29th overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft. Dallas, which had yet to do much in free agency to add talent to a team that has won 36 regular-season games over the past three seasons, acquired a top 75 pick to move down five spots in the first round of this year’s NFL draft. Despite the strategic move that postponed their first-round selection, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was already turning heads for comments about a rival’s first-round pick. During an…

The Kansas City Chiefs made waves late in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, trading up with the Buffalo Bills of all teams to select former Texas football standout and wideout Xavier Worthy. Buffalo, who have long struggled to surpass Kansas City in the postseason, sold the rights to the 28th overall pick to the AFC West club to move down in the draft. In turn, the Chiefs selected one of the fastest wide receiver prospects of all time, Texas Longhorns product Xavier Worthy. Naturally, NFL fans were beyond surprised by the Bills letting the Chiefs move up…

The Las Vegas Raiders, in their first move of the Antino Pierce era, went tight end with the 13th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft. With three wide receivers already off the board, Las Vegas opted for an elite pass catcher in a different form, selecting Georgia football star Brock Bowers in the early portion of the first round.  Bowers, one of the most versatile players in college football over the past few seasons, posted monster numbers at the tight end position during his time with the juggernaut Georgia football program. Bowers became the first player selected from Georgia…

In a move to reclaim relevance in the NFL, the Chicago Bears strategically bolstered their offense during the 2024 NFL draft. With the first overall pick, they selected the 2022 Heisman Trophy Award winner and former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams, a highly sought-after prospect. Continuing their offensive focus, the Bears made another significant move in the first round, selecting former Washington football star and wide receiver Rome Odunze. The Bears, known for their offensive struggles, made a bold move by selecting Odunze to strengthen their offensive line-up. This decision was met with jubilation from long-suffering Chicago Bears fans, who…

On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys will make a potential franchise-altering move with the 24th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft. Dallas could burn the pick, trade up, or move down, with all possible avenues helping them return to the NFC Championship for the first time since 1995. The Cowboys also own the 24th pick in the second and third rounds of this year’s NFL draft. The NFL, partnered with the 32 league organizations, will have legends or current players announcing the selections in those Friday rounds, a distinct difference from the first round, presented by Commissioner Roger Goodell.  The…

The Cleveland Browns are fresh off a playoff berth in 2023 despite losing their franchise quarterback, Deshaun Watson, midway through the season. The polarizing gunslinger, Watson, signed a massive five-year, $230 million deal with Cleveland after being traded from the Houston Texans in 2022. He entered the 2023 season at full strength after serving an 11-game suspension the year prior. Watson sat out the entirety of the 2021 season, and the majority of the 2022 campaign after 23 suits of sexual assault came to light against the former Clemson Tigers standout.  Watson’s legal issues resulted in significant financial consequences, with…

The saga surrounding the Florida State football team, the rest of the school’s athletic programs, and their request to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference remains fluid. In December, FSU filed a lawsuit against the ACC, their conference of play since 1992, intending to leave without paying a nine-figure exit fee. The Seminoles believed the contract binding the conference and the university was unenforceable. Additionally, the suit filed by FSU claimed the ACC was careless in helping schools adapt to the era of player compensation through name, image, and likeness (NIL). On Thursday, the attorney general of the state of Florida,…

In less than 48 hours, the 2024 NFL draft will get underway, with USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner Caleb Williams all but sure to go with the first overall pick to the Chicago Bears. The next pick belongs to the Washington Commanders, with many pundits believing they, too, will take a signal-caller, potentially in the form of LSU’s Jayden Daniels. This rendition of the NFL draft remains heavy on quarterbacks, with six players potentially hearing their names called during the first round.  The record for most quarterbacks drafted in the first round is six, a mark that 2024…

Head Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado football program are going through a major roster turnover heading into their annual spring game on Saturday. The Buffaloes roster continues to take shape as the spring window of the transfer portal has seen more than ten players leave the program. Conversely, Sanders and his staff have inked a wave of highly productive players, including a pair of edge rushers. Despite the non-stop moving parts at Colorado, Sanders took time out of his day on Wednesday to support a quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft. Sanders, an NFL Hall of Famer turned college…

On Tuesday, the NCAA, the governing body of Division I college football, dropped the hammer down on former ASU football frontman Herm Edwards and members of his old coaching staff regarding recruiting infractions involving more than 30 prospects during the Covid-19 impacted season. The NCAA concluded that Edwards and his coaching staff “participated in impermissible recruiting, meeting with prospects on campus and elsewhere,” including meeting with players in a nearby home designated for recruiting purposes.  ASU will vacate nine wins from their double-digit winning season of 2021 for the “use of ineligible players,” per ASU insider Chris Karpman. The five-year…
