The 2024 NFL Draft is now one week away. As Caleb Williams is all but confirmed to be the top choice, the focus will then shift to the next crucial picks of the early first-round period come next Thursday night. Some say that the Chargers, newly helmed by Jim Harbaugh, hold the true #1 pick of the draft. But behind the top players, a list that includes wideout Malik Nabers and linebacker Dallas Turner, who is seeing their stock rise in these final days before the 2024 NFL Draft? 2024 NFL Draft Rising Talent #1: Georgia WR Ladd McConkey Ladd…

Wide receivers are a big topic of discussion as of late. The next crop of young talent at the position will soon hear their names called and should all be set to enjoy lengthy careers. But for the incumbent talents in the NFL, there may be further movement in their ranks before next Thursday’s NFL Draft. The Houston Texans completed their substantial early offseason by completing their trade for Stefon Diggs earlier this month. According to some, they may have begun a trend. Are More Wide Receiver Trades Coming? The Washington Post’s Jason La Canfora has suggested that there may be…

Tom Brady and his impact on the game of football is hard to deny at this point, one year on from his (seemingly) final retirement. The 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady was thrust into the starting gig in 2001 when Drew Bledsoe faced significant injuries following a Week 2 game against the New York Jets. And the rest, from there, was history. Brady went on to seven Super Bowl rings, six with the Patriots, before seemingly retiring in 2021. He was called back into action for 2022, a season wrought with struggles as the future Hall-of-Famer led Tampa to…

The New York Giants have persistently struggled with their offensive line in the past decade. In recent years, these problems have arguably deepened as the team has frequently struggled to avoid losing double-digit games in a season. With six selections in next weekend’s NFL Draft, General Manager Joe Schoen has relatively few options when it comes to ensuring the team’s every need is met. This week, on the last possible opportunity for any such visits, the team has welcomed Jordan Morgan for a top-30 visit. https://twitter.com/TheGiantsWire/status/1779902788119544133 Arizona Tackle Jordan Morgan Meets With New York Giants At the sixth overall pick,…

J.J. Watt completed a legendary 11-season career at the end of the 2022 season with the Arizona Cardinals. The 11th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft Class has recently revealed the team he would have signed with for the 2021 NFL season had he not chosen to take his talents to the desert. J.J. Watt Reveals He Wanted To Sign With Green Bay in 2021 And it should come as no surprise that J.J. Watt considered the Packers. The Watt family–of which brother T.J., who is a defensive powerhouse in his own right, remains in the league–all hail from…

The New York Giants have persistently had one of the league’s worst offensive lines since their run to Super Bowl 46 in 2011. It should come as no surprise, then, that the team has also fallen off the cliff in multiple aspects since that 2011 season; the team has won all of 76 games in the 12 seasons that followed that second triumph over the New England Patriots. Several players have been drafted or otherwise signed to help fix the problem, including Evan Neal, the seventh overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. None have exactly succeeded. Despite this, the…

The New England Patriots have fallen into disarray in recent memory, having finished 4-13 in 2023 and finally parting ways with Bill Belichick after the season-ending loss to the New York Jets. However, that has not stopped AppleTV from releasing its documentary series “The Dynasty”, a look into the franchise throughout the 20-season run that began with Brady’s draft day in 2000 to the NFL legend leaving for Tampa Bay in 2020. Despite the generally positive reception that the series received over its month-long, ten-episode run, a growing number of former Patriots players, including the likes of Rob Gronkowski, and…

There were seven head coaching vacancies this offseason, and Bill Belichick was not among those hired. His son Steve, who recently joined the Washington Huskies staff as a Defensive Coordinator, went on to poke fun at his father’s plight. Even still, the legendary Head Coach that led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowls in 24 seasons has found time to travel the country to meet with various college coaching staffs. Matt Rhule’s response to Belichick’s visit to Nebraska is making waves this week. Bill Belichick Visited Nebraska Nebraska was the first of the two stops along the way…

In the final week of March, the NFL made the stunning decision to play games on Christmas Day in 2024, despite the holiday falling a day the league traditionally does not play games on. Two games will be played on Christmas Wednesday, and the four teams that will play out those games will play the previous Saturday so that there is a period of build-up time similar to a Sunday turnaround to Thursday Night Football. Christmas Day games have been ratings juggernauts, and 2023’s were arguably the most successful run of Christmas games the league has seen, even causing damage…

The NFL Offseason has flown by. Although only 58 days have passed since the Kansas City Chiefs took down the San Francisco 49ers to officially commence their dynasty, teams have begun to return to their practice facilities. Three teams have already begun their offseason activities, and another four will open theirs this week. All seven of these clubs face critical junctures this offseason as they look to get off on the right foot with their new Head Coaches. NFL Offseason: Who is Starting Team Activities? Per NFLPA rules, clubs that have hired a new head coach cannot start their offseason programs…
