The 23-year-old was sacked a league-high 68 times while throwing for ... [More...]

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is reportedly looking good in recent open practices. Okonkwo has caught the most passes during OTAs and appears to be building a strong chemistry with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. The former fourth-round pick hasn't been too successful over his first three seasons. Over the last two years, Okonkwo has hauled in 50-plus receptions and under 550 receiving yards both seasons. The Titans don't have a ton of competition at tight end, so Okonkwo should remain ... [More...]

But I've said this before: if I'm on the field, I should be able to give it my all." After a strong 2023 (71/761/5), the 26-year-old regressed last season -- failing to score a ... [More...]

While everyone focuses on the depth of running backs in this NFL Draft class, it's easy to wonder if there are any receivers this year who can live up to the standards that Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, and rising star Marvin Harrison Jr. set from the 2024 draft class.Although Tetairoa McMillan and Travis Hunter seemingly lead the 2025 WR class in hype and talent, are we sleeping on some diamonds in the rough with Emeka Egbuka and Luther Burden III?Let's take a look at the ...
