The 2019 NFL Combine is history. With free agency in sight and the draft not far down the road, the parsing of who ran fast, jumped high and lifted a lot of weight will remain center stage, at least for a few more days. A long weekend in Indianapolis produced the usual hype, in addition […]

Teams in need of defensive help next season sure had to be pleased with the number of defensive standouts from the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, which concluded on March 4.

The 2019 quarterback class has gone from weak to being one of the most exciting in recent memory. Missouri product Drew Lock was thought to be the best available.

In 2018, the Cleveland Browns had their most successful season since 2007, finishing with a 7-8-1 record. But the record improvement was secondary to the discoveries the team made about their players; most notably, the Browns had finally found a franchise quarterback in Baker Mayfield. New head coach Freddie Kitchens engineered one of the most […]

Earlier this week, former NFL general manager Charley Casserly had some harsh words about Oklahoma quarterback and NFL Draft prospect Kyler Murray, stating that he heard very poor reviews about Murray from the Scouting Combine last week: “He better hope Kingsbury takes him No. 1 because this was not good,” Casserly said in reference to […]

Misdirection is rampant at this time of year in the NFL. With free agency quickly approaching and the draft just right around the corner, executives, coaches, scouts, agents, and players have every incentive to reach their ultimate goals – whatever they may be – by spreading rumors only loosely based in fact. Case in point: […]

Kyler Murray may very well end up being the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, and if that does occur, it would mark the second year in a row that an Oklahoma quarterback was taken first overall. Of course, last season, the Cleveland Browns decided to go with Baker Mayfield with the […]

Oklahoma Sooners head football coach Lincoln Riley doesn’t think that NFL Network commentator Charley Casserly’s comments about Kyler Murray’s performance at the combine are actually true.

Former Mississippi State Bulldogs pass rusher and current 2019 NFL Draft prospect Montez Sweat impressed throughout the 2018 college football season.

On Sunday, […]

With the NFL Combine kicking off this week, the 2019 NFL Draft is right around the corner. The Los Angeles Rams hold the 31st pick, the next to last selection in the first round of the draft. Many have come up with mock drafts for the Rams where they stay put and use the 31st […]

Although the NFL Scouting Combine gives players the opportunity increase their draft stock each year, the annual event always brings along some trimuph as well.

[…]

Any season in which a team misses the playoff with Aaron Rodgers under center is a disappointment. Last season, it was enough to make the typically cautious Green Bay front office shake things up with the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy and their subsequent hiring of Matt LaFleur. Now, LaFleur looks to give Rodgers […]

The term athletic freak of nature always ends up being tossed around this time of year as the NFL gathers in Indianapolis for the NFL Draft Combine.

Nick Bosa, considered by many as the top defensive prospect in the 2019 draft class, probably isn’t even the best football player in his own family. His older brother, Joey, entered the league in 2016, and has subsequently established himself as one of the most impactful edge defenders in the NFL. His father, John, played […]

Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, former Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson will not be very active during the draft combine in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Times have changed in the NFL.
