The New York Giants are wrapping up another disappointing campaign that has seen them fall short of the playoffs for the second straight year. It has also made it quite clear that the Giants need to address their quarterback situation to find the successor to Eli Manning. That may more than likely come through next […]

Oregon Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert will officially return to the team next season, despite being projected as a top 15 pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The school announced Herbert’s return on Wednesday, which likely came a surprise to some people considering how high his draft stock was at this point. But, Herbert is clearly […]

With only two weeks remaining in the 2018 NFL regular season, the playoff picture is still far from clear. Three teams have clinched their division in the NFC, while six teams vie for the conference’s final three playoff spots. The playoff picture in the AFC is even murkier, as only two teams have clinched a playoff […]

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell revealed the draft’s location on Wednesday, with Las Vegas beating out Cleveland/Canton, Kansas City, and Denver for the honors. The 2019 NFL […]

Although the New York Giants still have a puncher’s chance of making it to the playoffs, the safer bet remains that of them missing the boat to the postseason, which means a higher pick in the upcoming draft. If they are looking for a new quarterback, then Ohio State Buckeyes redshirt sophomore Dwayne Haskins is […]

With four games to go until the end of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers are the clear favorites to land the top overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The two-win 49ers would hold the top pick if the season ended today, giving a team in desperate need of pass rush the chance to […]

The Buffalo Bills certainly didn’t wind up being the NFL’s worst team 11 weeks deep into the 2018 season despite many thinking they could be. Just ask the Minnesota Vikings, who suffered an embarrassing 27-6 home loss to Buffalo way back in Week 3. Or the New York Jets, who were demolished 41-10 by the […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars came into the 2018 season looking to repeat the same success they had in 2017 as they won the AFC South for the first time and were just four points away from advancing to their first ever Super Bowl appearance.

Many expected first-year head coach Mike Vrabel would help turn around the Tennessee Titans defense in 2018. He has. After 11 weeks of action this season, the Titans now find themselves with the second best scoring defense in the league, having surrendered just 189 total points and allowing a mere 5.5 yards per play. While […]

One of the NFL’s premier divisions just four years ago, the NFC West (San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks) is now a shell of its former self. Age and injuries have turned it from a smashmouth free-for-all into almost a cakewalk for the favorite, and the NFL Draft didn’t do […]

The NFC East is home to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Let’s breakdown the division’s draft classes from this spring. 4. New York Giants […]

The NFC North (Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings) looks to be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL this season, and that is thanks in large part to the drafts of the four teams within it. 4. Minnesota Vikings Round 1 pick 30 – Mike Hughes, CB, Central […]

There was plenty of speculation regarding what the New York Giants planned to do with the second overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have potentially put in place their eventual replacement for longtime starter Ben Roethlisberger with the selection of Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. There had been some talk about the organization heading in that direction especially with the talent level in this year’s class at the […]

Most draft-eligible college players are not selected in the NFL Draft, so they must attempt to begin their professional career as an undrafted free agent. Legends such as John Randle, Warren Moon, and Kurt Warner weren’t drafted, so great players can be found after all of the picks are made. Here are the ten players […]

The Cleveland Browns went chalk by taking a quarterback with the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. However, they took many by surprise when they selected former Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward with the fourth overall pick rather than NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb. Needless to say, general manager John Dorsey has caught […]

In the last few months, the Dallas Cowboys have been heavily rumored as a possible landing spot for Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Earl Thomas.

In the days prior to the 2018 NFL Draft, there was chatter around the long-term future of offensive tackle Ereck Flowers with the New York Giants. According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN, the Giants were looking to acquire a mid-round draft pick in exchange for the 24-year-old, but that asking price proved to be too high. […]

]The Seattle Seahawks took one of the most popular and inspirational players in the draft when they took UCF linebacker Shaquem Griffin in the fifth round.

One of the more intriguing names that remained afloat in the second half of the first round was former Louisville star quarterback Lamar Jackson. Among the batch of top projected players at his position in this year’s draft class, he had remained largely on the outside looking in for that group. However, Jackson was able […]

With Byron Jones being moved to cornerback next season, the Cowboys could use some help at safety in the draft.

The Seattle Seahawks shocked a lot of people around the league when they took San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny with the 27th pick in the NFL Draft.

Prior to the 2018 NFL Draft, former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen was long viewed as being one of the first few players off the board on Thursday night.
