Michael Ojemudia Drawing Praise This Offseason

Denver Broncos cornerback Michael Ojemudia has drawn a ton of praise during organized team activities and minicamp this offseason.

But when the […]

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Connor Heyward, the younger brother of Steelers pass-rusher Cameron Heyward, impressed in offseason workouts and showed chemistry with first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett during minicamp.

Cleveland Browns former second-round safety Grant Delpit has battled injuries, including an Achilles tear in his rookie season in 2020, but he's now a projected starter entering training camp after surging this offseason.

Kwamie Lassiter II Earns First-Team Reps

Cincinnati Bengals undrafted rookie wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II had an impressive offseason and even earned some first-team repetitions on offense during offseason workouts. If he can work his way into the special-teams rotation, he could have a shot at making the final 53-man roster out of training camp. In his final season at Kansas […]

Baltimore Ravens fourth-round rookie tight end Isaiah Likely has impressed this offseason with his ability to get open and his large catch radius.

Tre Nixon A Player To Watch At Training Camp

New England Patriots wide receiver Tre Nixon spent all of last season on the practice squad, but the seventh-round pick in 2021 has a close bond with second-year quarterback Mac Jones, and he's made an early case this offseason as a player to watch when training camp begins at the end of July. Nixon drove […]

Jamison Crowder Has Looked Solid

Buffalo Bills speedy wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie appears to have an early lead in the battle to take over Cole Beasley's slot receiver role in 2022, but veteran Jamison Crowder looked solid during offseason workouts in his first year with the team.

Eric Rowe Could Serve In Relief Role

Miami Dolphins defensive back Eric Rowe has the ability to play both safety and cornerback, but he will likely play a depth role this year with Jevon Holland and Brandon Jones ascending as the starting safeties early last season. If the Dolphins chose to trade Rowe, they would save $4.55 million and incur just $525,000 […]

Lamar Jackson Bulks Up

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson confirmed that he added 12 to 15 pounds of muscle mass this offseason. He said he usually played at between 205 and 208 pounds, but he's now at 220 pounds. "I just wanted to do it. See how I look, see how I feel," Jackson said. "And I feel good." […]

Christian McCaffrey Remains a Top-Five Pick in Fantasy Football

There is no more polarizing player in fantasy football this season than Christian McCaffrey. If you have listened to RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM you know what I am talking about.

Running Back Fallers for Fantasy Football - ADP Analysis for Michael Carter, Brian Robinson Jr., Ronald Jones

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with.

Jonnu Smith Praises Mac Jones

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was the latest Patriot to heap praise on second-year quarterback Mac Jones this offseason. "Mac is definitely one of the most goofiest guys in the locker room, to be honest, man. But when he steps on that field, he's a different character. He's just got so much ability […]

Kenny Pickett Receives Third-String Reps

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett only received third-string repetitions in organized team activities and mandatory minicamp. Getting NFL-ready with limited first-team repetitions in training camp and three preseason games won't track Pickett to start anytime soon. Unless Mitchell Trubisky gets hurt or plays terribly in camp and the preseason, it's difficult to see […]

Daniel Jones Not Focused On Future

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones isn't concerned about his future, specifically after the franchise declined to pick up his fifth-year option.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans had flashes of promise during his inaugural year. He finished with only 77 yards off 17 carries. However, Evans' most significant contribution came on the receiving end, with the 24-year-old catching 15 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley recently posted pictures to his Instagram account, with the former Penn State Nittany Lion appearing to be in the best shape of his career.

Cade Otton Could Become Bucs' No. 1 Tight End

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Cade Otton (ankle), who is expected to be done with his recovery from an ankle injury for the start of training camp, could become the team's No. 1 tight end over Cameron Brate now that Rob Gronkowski has retired.

Deebo Samuel Hasn't Rescinded Trade Request

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel hasn't officially rescinded his trade request from earlier this offseason, but he did show up for the team's mandatory minicamp, which is a positive.

Dallas could re-sign Chris Naggar, who was released before rookie minicamp in the spring, but he has kicked […]

Cowboys, Dalton Schultz Not Close To Extension

The Dallas Cowboys and tight end Dalton Schultz aren't close to working out a long-term contract extension. Current market conditions could compel the Cowboys to wait it out. Schultz will play the 2022 season on a $10.93 million franchise tag if an extension isn't worked out by July 15, and he could face the possibility […]

Deshaun Watson's Hearing To Begin Tuesday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's hearing before the NFL and NFL Players Association's jointly appointed disciplinary officer Sue L.
