MLB, Players Not Making Much Progress

Both Major League Baseball and the Players Association believe they've made many major concessions and the other side has made very few.

Panthers Impressed With Desmond Ridder

Like many NFL teams, the Carolina Panthers were impressed with Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder's 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine last week, but they also like his makeup and professionalism.

Broncos Think Javonte Williams Is The All-Around Package

Denver Broncos new head coach Nathaniel Hackett is a believer of running back Javonte Williams, who totaled 1,219 scrimmage yards (903 rushing, 316 receiving) and seven total touchdowns in his rookie season in 2021 after being taken in the second round.

The New York Jets have Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks as the top receiver on their draft board. General manager Joe Douglas has been gushing about Burks since the Senior Bowl.
