The Carolina Panthers finished the 2018 season with a 7-9 record. That record wasn’t good enough to make the playoffs, effectively ending their run early. However, a poor 2018 doesn’t necessarily have to foreshadow 2019. The Panthers have a lot of massive pieces in place that could help them to turn things around extremely quickly […]

A 4.37 second 40-yard-dash, a 40.5-inch vertical, 27 bench-press-reps, a 134-inch broad jump, and a historical lineage of NFL players propped now Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K.

The Baltimore Ravens made progress in 2018. Head coach John Harbaugh changed the team’s offensive mindset from stalling, play-action dependent to a two-headed lethal rushing attack.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and head coach Kliff Kingsbury are both most comfortable using the shotgun formation, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that they are looking at not being under center for the 2019 season. Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic predicts that Murray will be under center very little this […]

The New England Patriots have a crowded running back room and that means Rex Burkhead could be one of the surprising cuts of camp.

In the NFL , it is a fairly common sight to see players getting IVs during games. As fans, we don’t think much of it, as it just seems like standard procedure. However, IVs can be dangerous. Just ask Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker, who says that he once almost died from an IV: […]

The New England Patriots lost a lot of key members of their passing game this offseason, as long-time tight end Rob Gronkowski retired and wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan both walked via free agency.
