Rico Gathers Might Not Earn a Roster Spot

Kevin Hogan On The Bubble

Washington Redskins quarterback Kevin Hogan is very much on the roster bubble heading into training camp as the third quarterback behind starter Alex Smith and backup Colt McCoy.

Ryan Griffin Could Challenge For Backup Job

Although Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has much more experience, quarterback Ryan Griffin has an opportunity to leapfrog Fitzpatrick for backup duties in training camp. With Jameis Winston facing a three-game suspension to open the year, that means that Griffin could be under center in Week 1 when the Bucs face off against the […]

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman pointed out a tell of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's during offseason workouts. “You just need to read him—hand off ball; he’s letting it go.

Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer Inspire Little Hope in Green Bay
