The Denver Broncos used their second-round pick on Penn State wide receiver K.J. Hamler at pick No. 46.

At 5-foot-9, Hamler doesn't boast elite size, […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. Selected By Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers addressed their defense in the second round, drafting safety Antoine Winfield Jr. out of Minnesota with the 45th overall pick.

Andre Drummond is Unsure if He'll Return to Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond is unsure if he'll exercise his player option for the 2020-2021 season. His player option is worth $28.7 million, so that's going to be tough to pass up.
