Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images If Caleb Williams is the next Prince, the Bears are going to win a lot of Super Bowl titles. Caleb Williams was groomed to become the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft from an early age. A standout prep career for D.C. powerhouse Gonzaga High School helped make Williams a top-10 national recruit and top quarterback prospect. After leaving Oklahoma for USC after his freshman year, Williams exploded into the best QB in college football, winning the Heisman Trophy and leaving pro scouts salivating over his eventual arrival in the NFL.

Lakers blame refs for blowing 20-point lead to Nuggets, and even their fans won’t buy it

Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images Sorry Lakers, but the refs weren’t the reason you blew a 20-point lead to the Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers finally had a win over the Denver Nuggets in their grasp. Down 1-0 in their first round series in the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the Lakers walloped Denver in the first half, opening up a 20-point lead early in the third quarter. Game over, right? Not quite. The Nuggets roared back in the second half behind another virtuoso performance from Nikola Jokic and some clutch fourth quarter shot-making from Jamal Murray. The final minutes of the fourth quarte ..read more

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Which specialists could be drafted this year? The NFL Draft is right around the corner and we will round out our positional rankings series by taking a look a the specialist positions, kickers and punters. There are not usually a ton of kickers and punters that get drafted every year, so instead of ranking them, we will review a handful of players that we think have a chance to get drafted. It is easy to forget how many specialist players get drafted each year, but history tells us there are usually a few that come off the board. In the last 10 years, th ..read more

Bo Nix is the ultimate problem solver in the NFL Draft

by Mark Schofield
2h ago
Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Bo Nix’s mind is the key to his NFL Draft stock When it comes down to it, a large part of the beauty and art to playing the quarterback position stems from the fact that as a QB, you are tasked with solving complex problems. Of course, you are tasked with doing that as a handful of large human beings are trying to put you in the hospital, others are looking to embarrass you, someone on your own sidelines is likely hoping to take your job, and the world is watching. Perhaps the most recent description along these lines came during the past NFL season, fr ..read more

My favorite 2024 NFL Draft prospects at every position on the field

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images J.P. Acosta’s favorite NFL Draft prospects at every position in 2024. The 2024 NFL Draft is this week, and with it comes the first installation of something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time: the 2024 All-JP team! The All-JP team is a group of players that I loved watching on tape, with a good majority of them more than likely not hearing their name called on Day 1 of the draft. However, these are guys that I would pound the table for, and think they’ll be good pros at the next level. We’re doing every position outside of special teams, with two backs ..read more

LeBron James’ impossible And-1 is wildest shot of 2024 NBA Playoffs

LeBron James sure didn’t look like a 39-year-old against the Nuggets. LeBron James is 39 years old. Have you heard? He was drafted way back in 2003. This is his 21st season in the NBA. James has outlasted multiple generations of his rivals at this point in his career, and he’s still performing at an All-NBA level. James isn’t the best player in the NBA anymore (that guy is on Denver), and hasn’t been in about five years. But even in his basketball golden years, James is still incredible, and he just proved it again in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Before the Lakers completely collapsed and allowed J ..read more

Edit via Dwight Howard (@DwightHoward) on Twitter Dwight Howard is taking to the internet to remind the Lakers about who their starting center was the last time they beat Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in a series. The Los Angeles Lakers keep getting their hearts ripped out by the Denver Nuggets, but fans who want to remember a happier time, when their favorite team was capable of slowing down Nikola Jokic and (more importantly) beating him in a series don’t have to look far. They just have to go to Dwight Howard’s Twitter account, where he’s reminding them of his efforts in the 2020 Western Con ..read more
