Sam Mustipher started 38 straight games for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the offensive line, but that wasn’t enough to get him an invite to the NFL combine, something that was a bit surprising. Many players would use this as a way to get others to feel bad for them, but Mustipher is taking […]

The NFL Draft combine is less than a week away and it appears that former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins has decided to throw during the event.

The 2018 season did not go the way the 49ers were expecting. Aspirations were sky-high after the way they finished the 2017 season.

The New Orleans Saints were a fairly complete team this past season. For the most part they had top players at every position, but there was one spot that was a glaring spot.

Aaron Rodgers is a fantastic talent who remains a top quarterback at the age of 35.

With Adam Gase serving his first year as the head coach of Gang Green, the New York Jets need to ask themselves three burning questions for the off-season.

Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was a very impactful player for the Los Angeles Rams this past season, primarily during their playoff run to Super Bowl 53.

The Jacksonville Jaguars need help at tight end in the worst way.

Even without a football in his hands this past season, Le’Veon Bell found a way to make just as many headlines. Now, he is a free agent and free to choose whichever team he wants. Plenty of teams will have interest in Bell if he is in shape to dominate the gridiron the way he […]

The Washington Redskins might have the most pressing need for a quarterback of any team in the league.

It’s been storied that safety Earl Thomas challenged Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to go after him when the defensive star became available. That time is now.

They’ve got a lot of work to […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a splash during the 2018 NFL season with the acquisition of running back Carlos Hyde. However, it appears his time in Jacksonville will be short-lived.
