I've been writing for Gridiron Heroics since July 2022, covering the NFL and USC Football as well as other teams. I graduated in 2020 from SDSU and have always been a sports fanatic.
There has been many offseason changes going around in the NFL this year. Therefore you think the MVP favorites would maybe change a little this year, but that wasn’t the case. The top five favorites for the MVP this year are the top five rated quarterbacks in the league. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are tied for first at +700 odds, Tom Brady comes in next at +800 odds, and Aaron Rodgers and Justin Herbert close out the top five at +900 odds. These five quarterbacks have proved they are the best in the game and will compete to win…
The Buffalo Bills have defined the term “Trust the Process.” After not making the playoffs for 18 straight years, the Bills have made four playoff appearances in the last five years. They have shown Bills Mafia what they are capable of and how they will continue to succeed in further years. Three main reasons that make the Bills Super Bowl contenders are Josh Allen, their defense, and home field advantage. Josh Allen Proving Why He is the #1 Rated Quarterback Josh Allen has proved himself as being one of the most exciting players to watch in the NFL. In Allen’s…
Coming into the 2022 season, there is no doubt the AFC West has become the most difficult division in the NFL. With Davante Adams and Russell Wilson joining the division, the Chargers knew they had to make some moves to compete. Therefore, the Chargers added strength to both sides of the ball with their draft picks and especially with the free agent market. With these new additions, the Chargers are going to be the team to beat in the AFC West. How the Chargers Offense Will Dominate After being in the NFL for only two seasons, Just Herbert has proven…
Alabama is without a doubt the most talented football team year in and year out. From their elite commits that come in every year, to their five star transfers, and their excellent coaching staff, Alabama is always a contender to take home the National Championship. Even though last year didn’t end how the Tide wanted it to, that just added even more desire to come back stronger. Alabama has an extra chip on their shoulder this year to get back to being number one. Bryce Young Needs to be Elite for Alabama Bryce Young had a season to remember last…
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a 2021 NFC East Championship season, but just like recent years, failed to produce in the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys are arguably the most famous NFL team, but fans are starting to wonder why they can’t win in the playoffs. With this talented squad, they should be competing for a Super Bowl every year. Therefore, Dak Prescott is going to be one of the main reasons the Cowboys make it to another Super Bowl. How Good Will Dak Prescott Be This Year? Many people were skeptical about how Prescott would perform a year after…
USC has overtaken the University of Alabama as the betting favorite to win the College Football Playoff. Some people might be scratching their heads at that stat, but they truly are going to be contenders this year. After going 4-8 last year, the Trojans new they had to make a change…and not just one, but many. The first change they needed to make was bringing in a new coach. The Trojans were linked with many great coaches, but one stuck out drastically, Lincoln Riley. The amount of success that Riley had at Oklahoma made the Trojans realize that signing him…
In 2017, Josh Allen had just finished his junior year at Wyoming and had mediocre numbers to say the least. He posted 1,812 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. Less than ideal numbers when coming out of a draft class with Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Rosen. Allen knew he had to prove himself and Charlie Campbell, football analyst, listed his strengths and weaknesses going into the draft. Josh Allen’s Strength’s & Weaknesses One of Allen’s greatest strengths was his size as a quarterback, sitting at 6ft 5in and weighing 238lbs. The average height for an NFL quarterback…
One of the main topic in the 2020 NFL draft was who should get drafted first: Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa? Both quarterbacks had electric numbers in their college careers, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will produce the same in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins had the fifth pick while the Chargers had the sixth, meaning the Chargers had to wait and see who the Dolphins chose. They decided to choose Tua, which fired Herbert up and wanted to prove they had made a mistake by passing up on him. Tua vs. Herbert : Who Has Produced More?…
Baker Mayfield was easily the most exciting player to watch in college, but that didn’t transition into the NFL. He threw for 43 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions in his senior year at Oklahoma. After 4 years in Cleveland, Baker has a 29-30 record with 92 touchdowns and 56 interceptions. Cleveland thought they were getting their next franchise quarterback, but that wasn’t the case. Baker did not take the news of the Browns signing Deshaun Watson well and requested a trade after finding out it was finalized. Finally, after a couple weeks on the trading block, the Carolina Panthers…
