C.J. Stroud has gained valuable playoff experience despite recent struggles, and DeMeco Ryans believes he has learned from those challenges.
I was a little bit surprised, Nealis told amNewYork. I thought toward the end of last season, I was playing my best soccer. But I think I'm pretty confident and comfortable playing anywhere along the back line. I was looking forward to the opportunity. I had a few games there before, whether it was a back three or a back five.
A 2022 fifth-round pick by the Commanders, Howell made his first career NFL start against the Cowboys during the regular season finale of his rookie campaign. That next season, the North Carolina ended up being a full-time starter for Washington. He went 4-13 in his 17 starts, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns, and a league-leading 21 interceptions.
If the NBA needs a Southland representative for a three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend at Intuit Dome, senior Dylan McCord of Thousand Oaks High would gladly raise his hand to participate. The 6-foot-1 senior made 113 threes in the regular season for 23-4 Thousand Oaks. In the Lancers' final regular-season game, he scored 43 points against Newbury Park, including 10 threes.
At the combine, you're throwing to different receivers, it's a whole different thing. And I want to make sure I give my guys the best chance. I want to throw at pro day with my guys, with my running backs and be there with the boys.
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off in a little less than a week. There will be 319 participants attempting to boost their draft stock by impressing the scouting community with their performances in the on-the-field drills as well as official and unofficial interviews with different teams. This big event of the offseason is a great way to get a better understanding of this year's draft hopefuls and last before individual Pro Days.
Oregon starting quarterback Dante Moore has not declared his decision on entering the NFL draft or staying in school. The Ducks continued to recruit Raiola regardless, raising the possibility that he could serve as Moore's backup and redshirt next season. Raiola is currently recovering from a broken right fibula suffered in a loss to USC on Nov. 1. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound sophomore threw for 2,000 yards on 72.4% passing with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions over nine games before the season-ending injury.
In just his second year, Maye has led the Patriots to Super Bowl 60. He did so in a game that was played on the road, in front of a rambunctious crowd and in what wound up being a beautifully-wild snowstorm. But, what cemented this one as the stuff of legends was the decision Maye made on the game-sealing play.
Dante Moore, who was the clear-cut No. 2 passer expected to come out of the Class of 2026, announced earlier this week that he will stay at Oregon for one more season, making the Jets the losers of this situation. As of now, no other young quarterback is projected to be a bona fide Day 1 draft pick until the NFL's mind-numbing pre-draft machine ultimately inflates a talent or two that will have no business being taken in the first round.
