Travis Toivonen, Austin Allen Stand Out

New York Giants wide receiver Travis Toivonen was getting repetitions with both the first- and second-team offenses at mandatory minicamp with so many receivers out due to injuries, and he took advantage of his opportunities.

Josh Jacobs Misses Minicamp

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs wasn't on the field for the team's mandatory minicamp, but he's been participating in the Raiders offseason program. The fact that he wasn't on the field for minicamp is a signal that something is up physically, but there is no sense that anything is serious. NFL teams often […]

Per Pro Football Focus, Mahomes was actually slightly more accurate […]

Saquon Barkley Has Been Intriguing This Spring

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been the team's best and most important non-quarterback for much of organized team activities, although it should be taken with a grain of salt during non-contact practices.

Kansas City Chiefs second-round wide receiver Skyy Moore signed his four-year rookie deal on Friday. With the Moore signing, the Chiefs wrap up all 10 of their draft picks.

Desmond Ridder To See Starts In Rookie Season?

It seems like a matter of when, not if, Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder gets to start in his first NFL season, in the opinion of SI.com's Daniel Flick. Veteran Marcus Mariota will almost certainly begin the season as the starter, and the Falcons coaching staff won't just play Ridder to play him, so […]

Day Off For Ketel Marte Saturday
