You know that a draft class is loaded with intriguing quarterback and skill position prospects when there are potentially elite offensive tackles falling outside of the top-10 picks. In most mock projections for the 2024 draft class, fans are getting a taste of how an elite tackle class could wind up giving franchises in the late-teens and even the 20s multiple opportunities to protect the quarterback with offensive tackle prospects who would go in the top-10 in some past years. Such has been the case with a trio of Pac-12 Defunct West Coast Gone offensive tackles, including Washington’s Troy Fautanu, who was…
As last season’s trade deadline approached, the idea of the Detroit Lions looking toward the struggling Las Vegas Raiders for players who could fortify their roster was definitely in play. More specifically, it was easy to dream about what it might take to acquire All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby and pair him with Aidan Hutchinson. It’s a guarantee the Raiders, if they’d even consider trading him (very unlikely), will not give Crosby away. He’s entering his age-27 season, firmly in his prime, with four All-Pro team nods and three straight Pro Bowl selections over five NFL seasons. The…
Derrick Henry’s relocation to Baltimore is sheer perfection on so many levels. Talk about the rich getting richer … The Ravens led the league in rushing last season, after all. And now they just added “King Henry” to flank reigning MVP Lamar Jackson? That’s a marquee move that we, the general football-watching public, wanted to see! And so did the running back himself. Henry popped on my SiriusXM Radio show, “Schein On Sports,” after the deal came together last week. He stated that Baltimore was a place he wanted to be and “a perfect match.” Indeed it is. Henry’s…
Are Auston Matthews and Max Domi the Toronto Maple Leafs newest and best duo? After watching Domi and Matthews together against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, I think that might be the case. Domi is an example of the kind of cheap player that Auston Matthews can turn into a star. Matthews and Domi aren’t going to combine for two goals and seven assists every night but they didn’t skip a beat without Mitch Marner in the line-up. Obviously, Marner is a better player than Domi, but it’s not that shocking to see Domi shine beside a…
The Pittsburgh Steelers showed up in a big way for Michigan’s Pro Day on March 22. Many of the organization’s personnel went to take a look at the prospects the defending national champs have to offer for this year’s NFL Draft, which includes one notable receiver. However, it’s another blue blood program that might actually be the one who has the receiver they want this offseason. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette’s Ray Fittipaldo, the Steelers had Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in for a visit earlier this week. Pearsall’s Perseverance Pearsall’s college career got off to a…
e Dallas Cowboys wisely selected Dak Prescott 135th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. He’s since become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and is coming off a season in which the Cowboys had the highest-scoring offense in the league. While Prescott hasn’t had the playoff success that Jerry Jones and Cowboys fans dream of, several teams would be thrilled to have a quarterback who can perform like the 3x Pro Bowl QB has. As Prescott, 30, prepares to enter his ninth NFL season, one would think his future in Dallas is set in stone, but that…

Michael Porter Jr. is on an absolute heater, a development that should terrify the rest of the league. The reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets are full of weapons and are fully healthy heading into the playoffs. And with Porter shooting incredibly efficiently right now, the Nuggets are slated to do some serious damage to opponents offensively. Heading into the Nuggets matchup against the New York Knicks on Thursday, Porter was only three 3-pointers shy of setting the franchise’s single-season record. And honestly, it didn’t take long for him to break it during the game. Porter was also the Nuggets top…
The San Francisco 49ers are willing to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk for a first-round pick in the 2024 – but they have a steep price that rival teams will have to meet if a deal is to be done. There was reportedly tension between San Francisco and the 26 year old after February’s Super Bowl LVIII defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime. Aiyuk only caught three passes for 49 yards in the 25-22 loss, which led to frustration from his camp over how he was being used. Don’t forget what got you there,” Aiyuk said in a mysterious Instagram Story.…
