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 Los Angeles Chargers could be in the mix for New England Patriots impending free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson and/or Carolina Panthers impending free-agent corner Stephon Gilmore this offseason.
