Christian Kirk plans to be back stronger than ever after ending the 2023 season on a whimper, with no thanks to the injury bug. After playing the first 11 games, the Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver was declared out for the rest of the season when it was confirmed that he needed surgery after he sustained a core muscle injury during their 34-31 loss to the Bengals in December. With Christian Kirk placed on the injured reserve list, the Jacksonville Jaguars went on to lose five of their last six regular-season games. They missed their chance to make their second consecutive…

The Arizona Cardinals own the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and their former star wide receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, has made it clear who he wants the team to pick. In a recent interview with 12 News, the 11-time Pro Bowler said he is a huge fan of Marvin Harrison Jr., arguably the best wide receiver in this year’s draft class. “He’s a stud. “If he’s there, I hope we get him. Kyler (Murray) would love to throw it to him. I saw him working out at Ohio State some years back,” said Fitzgerald. Why Marvin Harrison Jr.…

The 28-year-old defensive linesman was named to the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday as a replacement for San Francisco 49ers’ Javon Hargrave. This means that Kenny Clark is now a three-time Pro Bowler, so now he is one Pro Bowl shy of Henry Jordan, who has the most such selections with four in a Green Bay Packers uniform.  “It’s definitely right at the top,” said Clark during his recent interview with the Green Bay Packers…

Jason Kelce has been keeping himself busy off the football pitch, as he is looking to immerse himself in the video game industry soon. The Philadelphia Eagles Center revealed his plan to buy the classic “Backyard Sports” video game franchise to his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during the latest episode of the New Heights podcast on Wednesday. “I don’t even know if I want to mention this because I’ve been secretly been looking into seeing if anyone holds the rights to ‘Backyard Football’ and ‘Backyard Baseball’ because I want to buy it and get this thing…

If the San Francisco 49ers want to win their first Super Bowl since 1995, they might want to heed the advice of former Carolina Panthers star Luke Kuechly about Travis Kelce. The 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and five-time First-Team All-Pro recently appeared in the Up & Adams show by Kay Adams to examine one particular tendency of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “Nothing he really does is on script. You try to study as much as you can, you try to anticipate routes. He runs normal routes, he runs fades. He can find a window, move…
