Wide receiver Xavier Restrepo caught a lot of passes from quarterback Cam Ward at the University of Miami, but his production for the Hurricanes wasn’t enough to convince a team to draft him. Restrepo’s consolation is that he will get a chance to show he’s capable of playing in the

After the first round of the draft, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team did not feel it was necessary to draft a wide receiver this year and the team backed him over the final six rounds. The Cowboys did not select a wideout for the first

In 2023, the Lions drafted tight end Sam LaPorta and he immediately became one of the NFL’s most productive tight ends in offensive coordinator Ben Johnson’s offense. Now Johnson is head coach of the Bears, and he thinks he just found a tight end who is a lot like LaPorta,

Eagles first-round draft pick Jihaad Campbell was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, and as he made his trip to the Eagles’ facility after the draft, he realized what a special moment it was in his life. “When I was on the plane, I was looking like, ‘Dang, I’m

At six-foot-six and 464 pounds, defensive tackle Desmond Watson would have been the largest draft pick in NFL history. He was not drafted. Via the Associated Press, Watson has instead signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. It’ll be a homecoming for Watson, who grew up 20 minutes

The reports of the demise of Dre Greenlaw’s season have been greatly exaggerated. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Greenlaw will be ready to go in eight weeks. As another source explained it, Green did not suffered a torn quadriceps. It’s only a strain. However it plays out,

The Falcons won’t be taking action against defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich in connection with his son’s prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the second night of the draft. The NFL still could. “We have been in contact with the Falcons and we are reviewing the matter,” a league spokesman told

The Panthers are bringing in another potential weapon for their offense. Carolina announced on Sunday night that the club has agreed to terms with veteran receiver Hunter Renfrow. Renfrow, 29, did not play in 2024 after the Raiders released him in March of that year. While he’s dealt with injuries,

One of the Broncos’ key free agent signees won’t see the field for a while. Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that linebacker Dre Greenlaw tore a quadriceps while working out. The injury could force him to miss a substantial portion of the 2025 season, per Chan.

Michigan Panthers wide receiver Samson Nacua, the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, slapped a fan in the face following Saturday night’s game in St. Louis. Video of the incident shows a fan in the front row leaning onto the field and apparently exchanging words with Nacua, who then

The Jaguars spent the last few days adding rookies to their roster, but Sunday was a moment for striking a deal with a more seasoned player. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN that his client Emmanuel Ogbah has agreed to sign with the Jags. It’s a one-year deal worth up to

In his upcoming book, The Art of Winning, Bill Belichick made one very strategic omission. Patriots owner Robert Kraft is mentioned nowhere in the entire publication. During Belichick’s book-tour interview with CBS Mornings, Belichick gave an arguably inartful explanation about the failure to include any reference to Kraft. Asked about

The mystery has been solved. Well, one of them at least. The Falcons have announced that the prank call placed during the second night of the draft traces to defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. In a statement, the Falcons said that Ulbrich’s 21-year-old son, Jax, “unintentionally came across the draft contact

Bill Belichick’s first book comes out soon. He’s doing a book tour. Based on the most recent broadcast interview, it seems to be going roughly as well as the tour for Kramer’s coffee-table book about coffee tables. In a mostly fluff-filed sit-down with Tony Dokoupil of CBS Mornings, the 73-year-old

The Dolphins added one cornerback in the draft and it looks like they have plans to bolster the group with an older player as well. General Manager Chris Grier said in a press conference on Saturday that “we’ve had a number of conversations with players” when asked about signing a

And then there were three. Per a league source, a third prospect received a prank call during the 2025 draft. Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Colts tight end Tyler Warren received fake calls telling them they were being drafted before they were. Another player received a phony call 30 minutes

The NFL draft might not draw a Super Bowl-level TV audience. It definitely generates a Super Bowl-level crowd. The league announced that 600,000 attended the draft in Green Bay. While that’s down from last year’s all-time record of 775,000 in Detroit, Detroit is a much larger city and metropolitan area.

Shedeur Sanders apparently isn’t the only prospect who got punked during the draft. Via Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, tight end Tyler Warren received a prank call when the Jets were on the clock with the seventh overall pick, on Thursday night. (Warren was eventually picked by the Colts, at

The Saints announced agreements with 11 undrafted free agents on Sunday. Defensive end Omari Thomas is part of the group. Thomas played 61 games and made 41 starts during his time at Tennessee and had 115 tackles, five sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 12 passes defensed, a forced fumble, a

As quarterback Shedeur Sanders slid through round two and three of the draft, the question of whether he should try to return to college football for another year caught fire. There’s another player to whom that question is relevant — quarterback Quinn Ewers. Per a source with knowledge of the

The draft has come and gone, and cornerback Jalen Ramsey remains on the Miami roster. Earlier this month, the Dolphins confirmed that they’re trying to trade Ramsey. They surely would have preferred to get 2025 draft picks. Now, they’ll either get one or more players or one or more 2026

The Shedeur Sanders free fall included a Friday night prank call from someone who claimed to be Saints G.M. Mickey Loomis. With Shedeur explaining on Saturday that the call came to a phone he received directly from the NFL, the question becomes who leaked the number? If Shedeur’s version is

During a Super Bowl week interview with PFT Live, Jalen Milroe made it clear that he has no desire to play anything but quarterback. As he said, “You never ask a zebra to be a dog.” The team that drafted Milroe agrees with his assessment. After Milroe joined the Seahawks
