New on @athlonsports.bsky.social from the combine: I asked several cornerbacks for their favorite college plays, and their answers gave me insight into their NFL potential. Avieon Terrell, D'Angelo Ponds, and more! athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-sco...

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: With Rueben Bain Jr.'s arm length/wingspan, you could refer to all the edge-rushers who have overcome similar concerns. I took a page from Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson, because styles make football players just as they make fights. athlonsports.com/nfl/rueben-b...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: At the combine, I asked five linebackes -- Sonny Styles, Jake Golday, Kendal Daniels, and more -- for their favorite collegiate plays. Their answers, and the corresponding tape, can be seem here. Some great answers! athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-sco...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social from the scouting combine: Defensive tackles are more important than ever in today's NFL. If you want proof, ask the two Super Bowl teams. How does the 2026 class measure up? athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-sco...

(Also: I can neither confirm nor deny that a preview of the cover story for @athlonsports.bsky.social's draft guide magazine, which comes out next week, is in this article).

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Spoke with Eliot Wolf, Eric DeCosta, and Jesse Minter about the value of the do-it-all DB in today's NFL, and @MoveTheSticks gave me great intel on the three prospects who could be next. athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: As the scouting combine gets going, who has the most to prove? Here are 12 prospects with a lot on the line, from Ty Simpson to Jordyn Tyson to Rueben Bain Jr. to D’Angelo Ponds. athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl...

New on @SBnation: Based on tape, metrics, and number of high-speed plays, here are six offensive prospects I think could blow up the combine. Cole Payton, Brenen Thompson, and Kadyn Proctor (!) are among the dudes. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1104054/...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: Based on tape, metrics, and high-speed plays per position, here are six defensive players who should blow it up at the combine. Dani Dennis-Sutton, Justin Jefferson (not that one), and Julian Neal are among the guys to watch. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1104098/...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Woot! Flying to Indy for my 18th combine today, and in advance of that, put together a list of 12 small-school stars to watch this week. Cole Payton, Bryce Lance, Kaleb Proctor, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren are among the dudes. athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl...

there might be some decent writing in here

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Getting ready for the combine (my favorite week of the year), so it's time to drop the first first-round mock of 2026. As always, protestations should be filled with ad hominem arguments and multiple mis-spellings. athlonsports.com/nfl/nfl-mock...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Seahawks have been getting away with defensive schemes other teams just can't all season long. In Super Bowl LX, they tripled down on all of it, and somehow became even better. On the NFL's "unicorn with fangs." athlonsports.com/nfl/seahawks...

New on @AthlonSports: In advance of Super Bowl LX, I wanted to talk with one receiver who lit up the Seahawks AND the Patriots this season. So, I talked with Emeka Egbuka of the Buccaneers, who did exactly that. athlonsports.com/nfl/emeka-eg...

watching tape with t-mac www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq0j...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: There are times when the stars align in all the right ways. On Thursday, I watched tape with Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan. A few hours later, McMillan learned that he's the NFL's Offensive Rookie Of the Year. athlonsports.com/nfl/offensiv...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: This was a fun one. Christian McCaffrey. Trey McBride, and Tetairoa McMillan all lined up against the @Seahawks' Dark Side defense this season. So, I asked them all for scouting reports. athlonsports.com/nfl/christia...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Patriots’ defense has been underrated all season long. In Super Bowl LX, that could readily change, as these ‘No-Names’ are better than you think. athlonsports.com/nfl/super-bo...

!!!!!

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: This is one of my favorite articles to write every year. At Opening Night, I asked five Patriots players for their favorite plays of the season, and matched them up with the tape. Seahawks coming soon! athlonsports.com/nfl/patriots...

Both teams Brian Flores coached 2+ years jumped from bottom 10 to top 10 defenses by DVOA: Dolphins 2018: 27th 2019: 32nd <- Flores hired 2020: 12th 2021: 9th Vikings 2022: 24th 2023: 11th <- Flores hired 2024: 2nd 2025: 3rd He has a better resume than 7 of the 10 new head coach hires.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: 10 new head coaching hires in the NFL, and not one of the jobs went to a Black person. Yes, it's a major problem. Yes, it requires serious discussion. And yes, the reasons why are more revolting than you may think. athlonsports.com/nfl/number-o...

Throwback Seahawks gear is pretty great. I'd buy some myself if I didn't hate the Seahawks. But I know I have some Seahawks followers and some sports merch lovers that can dive in here to help support reproductive rights!

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Join our live Q&A with @dougfarrar.bsky.social at 11 a.m. ET.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: If there's one thing Seahawks GM John Schneider isn't into, it's public praise for his work. The man would rather be grinding tape and building relationships. But it's time to give Schneider his due for a remarkable rebuild. athlonsports.com/nfl/john-sch...

We are live! 25 Seahawks/Seattle sports items that I have collected over the years are up for grabs, with every cent going to @abortionfunds.bsky.social :) Seahawks fans, let's show 'em how much we love reproductive rights! Tell a friend to tell a friend... www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?s...

MAGA Nazi dipshits: If they can’t kill you one way, they’ll find another.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If I were Mr. Kubiak, I would be looking at Las Vegas real estate in my free time.

I think it's a combination. When they brought Shaheed in, they had to alter route responsibilities for everybody else, and that takes a minute. Kubiak has played around with a lot of these concepts all season, like putting JSN and Kupp in the backfield, but he's starting to expand the palette.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak went on an all-time play-calling heater against the Rams in the NFC Championship game, and the ways in which Kubiak weaponized WR Rashid Shaheed decided the end result. athlonsports.com/nfl/super-bo...

The Spun speaks exclusively to five Super Bowl standouts to find out what they're doing today.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social : My gamer from a rapturous Lumen Field, where the Seahawks and Rams fought their third pitched battle of the 2025/26 season. Things ultimately went in Seattle's favor, but it was a nail-biter all the way. athlonsports.com/nfl/super-bo...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Steelers haven't blundered the art of hiring a head coach in 60 years. But in taking on the Mike McCarthy adventure, this storied franchise has made a move that it will seriously regret. athlonsports.com/nfl/steelers...

The great @dougfarrar.bsky.social took a closer look at one of the Patriots' X-factors for the AFC Championship Game.

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Curt Cignetti was REALLY unhappy with all the uncalled late hits Fernando Mendoza took in the first half of the National Championship (one was obvious targeting), and he was exactly right. athlonsports.com/college/indi...

New on Athlon Sports: Did a deep dive on Indiana's defense, the unsung factor that could bring the Hoosiers their first natty on Monday night. Bryant Haines' creativity is at an NFL level, and people need to recognize. athlonsports.com/college-foot...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: In 2023, C.J. Stroud was the Houston Texans' future. Now, he's their biggest (and perhaps only) major problem. What happened? Because rookie QBs like this don't generally fall off a cliff. athlonsports.com/nfl/c-j-stro...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Seahawks' run game, which was iffy at best in the first half of the season, has become a defining masterpiece. I talked with RT Abe Lucas and LG Grey Zabel about why it's all working so well. athlonsports.com/nfl/seahawks...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Denver Broncos’ 33-30 divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills was decided to a large degree by one pass interference call that happened — and another one that should have, but didn’t. athlonsports.com/nfl/broncos-...

New Monday column at @theguardian.com: Kyle Shanahan outcoaches everybody again, the Patriots do just enough to win, the Bears continue their cardiac season, and... is this finally Josh Allen's year? www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Coaching isn't just about play calls and playbooks. It's about leading people past where they believe they can go. And this season, nobody in the NFL has been a better coach than Kyle Shanahan. athlonsports.com/nfl/kyle-sha...
