New All-22 on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Early in the 2024 season, Klint Kubiak's Saints offense was the terror of the NFL. That ultimately regressed, but in the 2025 Seahawks, Kubiak could have another tiger by the tail. athlonsports.com/nfl/seattle-...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Another Hall of Fame class, another group of great assistant coaches throughout history ignored. Assistants never get the credit they deserve for changing the sport for the better, so here's my all-time list of the all-time best. athlonsports.com/nfl/greatest...

Whether you're planning ahead for your fantasy draft or you're curious about some of the unfamiliar standouts in training camp this year, @dougfarrar.bsky.social has you covered with the Hidden Gems (one veteran, one FA, and one 2025 draft pick) on each team's roster www.sbnation.com/2025/7/29/24...

Philadelphia Eagles Hidden Gems: 3 Secret Superstars on the 2025 roster by @dougfarrar.bsky.social www.bleedinggreennation.com/2025/6/5/244...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: The Hidden Gems series continues with the Eagles, and their underrated veteran, free-agent signing, and draft pick. Vic Fangio gets richer with the safety he can trust, a new edge weapon, and Milton Williams' replacement. www.bleedinggreennation.com/2025/6/5/244....

New All-22 on @athlonsports.bsky.social Sports: We continue the "One Big Question" series for every NFL team with the Steelers, which just so happened to be scheduled for today. How can Mike Tomlin's team make the most of Aaron Rodgers at this point in his career? athlonsports.com/nfl/pittsbur...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The "One Big Question" for every NFL team lands in Cleveland with the Browns, who will have at least their 40th QB start a game since 1999. Can Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, or Shedeur Sanders become the franchise guy? athlonsports.com/nfl/clevelan...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: Continuing my "Hidden Gems" series for every NFL team with the @49ers, who are in the middle of a major rebuild. Here's one underrated veteran, free-agent signing, and draft pick that could make the process far more pleasant. www.ninersnation.com/2025/6/4/244....

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: We continue the "One Big Question" for every NFL team with the Bengals, who have thrown an unusual amount of money (for them) at their offense. But how do you improve a declining defense when you're low-balling Trey Hendrickson? athlonsports.com/nfl/cincinna...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Continuing the "One Big Question" for every NFL team with the one question everybody in Baltimore is already sick of -- when will Lamar Jackson transcend his postseason demons? Well, it's not ALL on Lamar to change. athlonsports.com/nfl/baltimor...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Continuing the "One Big Question" for every NFL team with the New York Jets and Justin Fields. It appears that Fields has coaches who believe in him, and a system that could work. Is it time for whatever the next level could be? athlonsports.com/nfl/new-york...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: Continuing the "Hidden Gems" with the Chiefs, and one underrated veteran, free-agent signing, and draft pick. Two gifts for Spags, and the guy who could be Patrick Mahomes' next best deep target. www.arrowheadpride.com/2025/5/30/24....

New on @AthlonSports: Continuing the "One Big Question" series for every NFL team with the Miami Dolphins, and whether they have a true franchise QB in Tua Tagovailoa. So far, the answer is... complicated. athlonsports.com/nfl/miami-do...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: My "One Big Question" series for every NFL team begins with the Buffalo Bills, and how this franchise can finally get past their prominent AFC opponents, and into their first Super Bowl since January 30, 1994. athlonsports.com/nfl/buffalo-...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: The "Hidden Gems" series continues with the Washington Commanders' most underrated veteran, free-agent signing, and draft pick. It's Dan Quinn's two-city pass-rusher, a former seventh-overall pick, and Jayden Daniels' new deep threat. www.hogshaven.com/2025/5/23/24....

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: I'm so happy that the NFL has finally established a "Protector of the Year" award for the best offensive lineman. Here's why I believe that Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions would (or should) have won it last year. athlonsports.com/nfl/detroit-...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: Continuing the "Hidden Gems" series with the Buffalo Bills -- one underrated veteran, free-agent signing, and draft pick. We have the NFL's best 6th man, Josh Allen's new deep threat, and a sixth-round CB who could fit right in. www.buffalorumblings.com/2025/5/22/24....

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Now that the NFL has wisely agreed to preserve the Tush Push, the only thing that can kill it is schematic sameness. One Eagles play against the Packers gave me hope that this could be more than just another Wildcat. athlonsports.com/nfl/eagles-t...

My latest on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Caleb Williams was abandoned in the film room by his coaches, and he's not the only first-overall pick who has experienced this. @sethwickersham.bsky.social and @danorlovsky7 share stories about Alex Smith and Jared Goff. athlonsports.com/nfl/caleb-wi...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Caleb Williams was abandoned in the film room by his coaches, and he's not the only first-overall pick who has experienced this. @sethwickersham.bsky.social and Dan Orlovsky share fascinating stories about Alex Smith and Jared Goff. athlonsports.com/nfl/caleb-wi...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Every NFL season has those field-tilting games that tell you more than you knew before about how things really are on the competitive landscape. Here are the nine most potentially revealing matchups for 2025. athlonsports.com/nfl/2025-nfl...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Some 2025 schedule release videos were very good. Some were utterly cringe-inducing, and a handful were too generic to even mention. The Titans' 2023 video still stands as the GOAT, but here are my rankings of this year's lot. athlonsports.com/nfl/nfl-team...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The history of running backs over 30 isn't great. At all. But in giving Derrick Henry more money than any other back has ever made in his golden years, the Baltimore Ravens made the only decision that made any sense. athlonsports.com/nfl/ravens-d...

Falcons fans, if you haven't read this yet, get to it

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: The "Hidden Gems" series continues with the Atlanta Falcons. Here, I ramp up my Darnell Mooney appreciation, give some love to Leonard Floyd, and wonder how the HELL Xavier Watts made it to the third round. www.thefalcoholic.com/2025/5/13/24....

Who are the underrated would-be stars on the Falcons roster, whether they're mainstays, free agent additions, or draft picks? @dougfarrar.bsky.social gave us his picks for Atlanta's hidden gems www.thefalcoholic.com/2025/5/13/24...

At Windy City Gridiron, @dougfarrar.bsky.social gives us one veteran, one free agent, and one 2025 NFL Draft pick who should be under-the-radar difference-makers for the #Bears this season www.windycitygridiron.com/2025/5/12/24...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: All the talk about the @ChicagoBears has been about the offense. But the "Hidden Gems" series for every NFL team continues with three guys on the defensive side of the ball: Gervon Dexter Sr., Dayo Odeyingbo, and Zah Frazier. www.windycitygridiron.com/2025/5/12/24...

The great @dougfarrar.bsky.social is back again on DBN taking a look at the Hidden Gems on the Browns roster for 2025. A fun read from one of the best in the biz: www.dawgsbynature.com/2025/5/10/24...

New on @SBNationNFL: If I wrote an article on the @Browns that mentioned Shedeur Sanders just once, would you read it? Well, here's an All-22 piece on Cleveland's hidden gems -- Martin Emerson Jr., Teven Jenkins, and Dylan Sampson. www.dawgsbynature.com/2025/5/10/24....

New on @AthlonSports: Last year, South Alabama DB Jaden Voisin entered the transfer portal, but decided to stay with his school. He paid for it in ways he never could have expected. I watched tape with the prospect the NFL forgot... and shouldn't have. athlonsports.com/nfl/2025-nfl...

Still more receiver All-22 on @AthlonSports! The Patriots got Kyle Williams in the third round, and that could lead to a MAJOR steal for a passing game desperately in need. Williams might turn out to be the best receiver in the 2025 class. athlonsports.com/nfl/kyle-wil...

New All-22 on @AthlonSports: The George Pickens trade comes with all kinds of caveats for the Dallas Cowboys, but the ripple effects could completely redefine Dallas' offense. It's worth it if... well, you know. athlonsports.com/nfl/dallas-c...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: New series! In "Hidden Gems," I look at one underrated veteran, free-agent acquisition, and draft pick for every NFL team. First up: The Dallas Cowboys, with Jalen Tolbert, Dante Fowler Jr., and Shavon Revel Jr. www.bloggingtheboys.com/2025/5/3/244...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Based on what Kevin Stefanski wants in his offense and what Stefanski and Andrew Berry have already said, I think Dillon Gabriel may have a better shot at the Cleveland Browns' starting QB position than Shedeur Sanders does. athlonsports.com/nfl/dillon-g...

New All-22 on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Seahawks selected Jalen Milroe with the pick they got in the Geno Smith trade. Here's how they may be able to turn Milroe into their next franchise quarterback... over time, with Sam Darnold as the bridge. athlonsports.com/nfl/seahawks...

New on @theguardian.com: Winners and losers for the 2025 NFL Draft! The Browns get weird, the Falcons get weirder, the Jaguars get their all-time franchise centerpiece, Howie Roseman does it again, and the 2025 quarterback class finds its own level. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

New on @theguardian.com: The draft gave Shedeur Sanders a reality check that seemed unfortunately necessary. It's time to get to work, because the NFL itself will demand far more on the field. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: My best scheme fits for Day 3 of the draft include Shedeur Sanders (really), Cam Skattebo, Bhayshul Tuten, Dont'e Thornton Jr., Ty Robinson, and Jalen Royals. Plus, the one guy who demolished Travis Hunter in college! athlonsports.com/nfl/shedeur-...

New All-22 on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Nick Emmanwori, Jayden Higgins, Terrance Ferguson, Luther Burden III, Quinshon Judkins, Trey Amos, and Kyle Williams are among the best scheme fits from Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft. Here's why. athlonsports.com/nfl/nick-emm...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: From Cam Ward as a pocket quarterback, to Abdul Carter as a spinner from hell, to Ashton Jeanty in Chip Kelly's run game, to Jihaad Campbell with Vic Fangio (YIKES), here are my favorite scheme fits from the first round of the draft. athlonsports.com/nfl/2025-nfl...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: The Browns are still getting out from under perhaps the worst trade in sports history. Now, they've exacerbated that by passing on a generational talent in Travis Hunter with no historical equal. athlonsports.com/nfl/browns-j...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Happy Draft Day! Here's my seven-round mock draft, organized by NFL team. 7.700 words, scouting thoughts with metrics and tape, and all 257 picks. Prepare to be outraged! athlonsports.com/nfl/7-round-...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: A 7-round @steelers mock in which I argue for Shedeur Sanders/against Aaron Rodgers, split the difference between D.K. Metcalf /George Pickens, add Teryl Austin's press binky, and bring the RB who wants to kill your face. www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2025/4/23/24...

New on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Here are the 2025 "My Guys" on offense in the draft -- players who aren't first-rounders per se, but I'm pounding the table for them all damn day. Dillon Gabriel, Kyle Williams, Charles Grant, Willie Lampkin (!!!), and more! athlonsports.com/nfl/2025-nfl...

New on @sbnation.bsky.social: I took a shot at GM Joe Schoen's role with the Giants, starting the team's inevitable rebuild with this here seven-round mock draft. No quarterbacks, but some very interesting key pieces for the future. www.bigblueview.com/2025/4/16/24...

As someone who grew up idolizing independent record labels like Dischord and Matador I was fascinated (in a sad way) by this @nicksylvester.bsky.social piece on the diminished role of the indie in today’s music industry smartdumb.substack.com/p/what-is-th...

New All-22 on @athlonsports.bsky.social: Shedeur Sanders does have the tools to be a plus-level NFL quarterback. But like any quarterback, he's going to need the right system for his traits. What should that system look like? athlonsports.com/nfl/shedeur-...

I’m not in love with Starks’ tape — a lot of transition issues in coverage. Nolen would be an interesting Milton Williams replacement, but I think Watts is better at his position. And with CJGJ gone, it is a need.
