Erick All, the Bengals’ fourth-round tight end who missed his rookie season recovering from a torn ACL, is poised to become a breakout star in 2026—if he stays healthy. Already the most physically imposing TE on the roster, All out-snapped veteran Mike Gesicki in several games last season and brings rare versatility: he can block, create mismatches, and stretch the field. ESPN’s Ben Solak calls hi...

The Patriots are flying high again, turning a 4-win disaster into a 14-win Super Bowl run in just one season — the biggest turnaround in NFL history — thanks to Drake Maye’s breakout year and a blockbuster offseason that added A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, and more. Buffalo, still anchored by Josh Allen and DJ Moore, remains a dangerous contender. Miami and the Jets are rebuilding with new QBs and fres...

Tennessee Titans’ first-round pick Keldric Faulk, a massive 6’6”, 275-pound defensive force, is set for a rotational rookie role — not due to lack of talent, but as part of a smart development plan. While Carnell Tate eyes a starting spot, Faulk’s focus is on mastering technique and learning from veterans, with his size and potential positioning him for a bigger role down the road. The Titans are...

Tua Tagovailoa’s fresh start with the Atlanta Falcons could be the catalyst for a major comeback — and possibly a shot at the 2026 AP Comeback Player of the Year award. After Miami dumped him for nearly $100 million, Atlanta signed him for just over $1 million, betting on his talent and resilience. With Michael Penix Jr. sidelined and a stacked receiving corps around him, Tagovailoa is already the...

The 49ers just dropped their 2024 training camp schedule—11 days, July to August, with tickets on sale. Meanwhile, the Brandon Aiyuk saga continues to stir debate, with analysts warning it could damage his future. Draft talk heats up as insiders stress the importance of nailing offensive line picks, while Mac Jones reflects on his own journey to San Francisco and hints at possible trade rumors. An...

K.J. Wright, ex-Pro Bowl linebacker turned 49ers linebackers coach, is laser-focused on becoming a defensive coordinator — not just aiming, but actively building toward that next big step. Once he said he’d never coach, his competitive fire reignited, and now he’s climbing the ladder with clear ambition, mastering his current role before eyeing the coordinator spot. With a decade in the NFL as a p...

The Buffalo Bills are loaded to the brim, and GM Brandon Beane is already eyeing trades to cash in on depth. With Josh Allen leading the charge, the roster is stacked — DJ Moore, Bradley Chubb, and draft picks like TJ Parker and Davison Igbinosun have all bolstered the team. That means veterans like Lloyd Cushenberry III (offensive line), Mike Danna (defensive end), and Mecole Hardman Jr. (wide re...

Ty Simpson, the Rams’ 13th overall pick, is diving headfirst into Sean McVay’s complex offense—comparing it to “drinking from a fire hydrant.” As the QB runs the show regardless of star receivers, Simpson’s got big shoes to fill, especially after Matthew Stafford’s stellar season. Despite the surprise pick and Coach McVay’s viral reaction, Simpson’s got the chance to prove he’s the Rams’ future—an...

The San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl-bound with a loaded roster, but tough decisions loom as they juggle depth and cap space. Mike Evans and Christian Kirk beef up the offense, while Osa Odighizuwa and new corners fortify defense — but that means some stars may be traded. Brandon Aiyuk’s future is uncertain as new WRs ease pressure; Mac Jones, a potential QB trade gem, could fetch assets for a c...

Makai Lemon, Philly’s first-round wideout, faces a steep climb as he steps into a star-studded receiver room without an automatic starting spot — with Marquise Brown now in the mix and Dontayvion Wicks possibly favored at outside receiver. Lemon’s path to the field? Earn it in training camp, where his USC breakout (1,100 yards, 11 TDs as a junior) will be tested against high expectations in a cham...

Gary Barnidge is raving about Harold Fannin Jr., calling him a receiver built like a tight end with elite yards-after-catch ability—and he’s convinced Fannin’s poised for a breakout year if he can sharpen his blocking. Last season, Fannin racked up 73 catches for 731 yards and 6 TDs, but his game still needs work in the trenches. With the Browns’ offense brimming with uncertainty at QB and breakou...

CBS Sports ditched traditional rankings for tiers, placing Jared Goff in the “borderline stars” group—where quarterbacks can shine like MVPs one week, then look average the next. He’s joined by Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy, and Jordan Love, all similarly inconsistent but talented. Above them, the “transcendent stars” include Mahomes, Jackson, Allen, Burrow, and even Matthew Stafford—now a Super Bowl c...

The Jets’ first-round draft haul is shaping up to be a game-changer, with Omar Cooper Jr. poised to be their most immediate impact receiver—already showing elite toughness and slot versatility. Alongside rising tight end Kenyon Sadiq and historic defensive standout David Bailey, the offense is stacking up with serious talent. While QB remains a question mark, Cooper could be the 2 receiver by trai...

Former NFL tackle Andrew Whitworth is sounding the alarm on the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive line strategy, warning that their lack of high-draft investment since 2021—only one first-rounder since 2017, now gone—could spell trouble down the road. Despite ranking among the league’s top offensive lines, Whitworth argues the team’s reliance on later-round picks and free agents, anchored by aging st...

Tyler Shough is bullish on Juwan Johnson’s potential for a breakout season, calling him a “thousand-yard threat” and one of his closest friends off the field. Johnson’s 77 catches for 889 yards last year were just the start, with Shough praising his speed, toughness, and ability to stretch the field. Alongside steady center Erik McCoy, Johnson anchors the Saints’ offense, offering experience and c...

Justin Simmons, the Broncos’ All-Pro safety who spent eight seasons watching them miss the playoffs, is being floated as a surprise comeback candidate — just as Denver’s fortunes flipped after his departure. Retired since April, Simmons’ career in Denver was defined by heartbreak and losing seasons, save for his rookie year. Now, with the Broncos making the postseason for the first time since he l...

Who’s making waves at Eagles training camp this year? Watch Hollywood Brown explode with speed, Tank Bigsby shine as Barkley’s explosive backup, Markel Bell rise as Lane Johnson’s potential heir, Byron Young lock in a key defensive role, and undrafted safety Maximus Pulley turn heads with his interception prowess—each with a shot to carve out a big role in the 2024 season. Listen in comfort: Get a...

Malik Nabers, the Giants’ electric rookie wide receiver and dark horse for NFL Offensive Player of the Year, is still rehabbing a brutal knee injury from Week 4 of 2025—multiple surgeries and no guarantee he’ll be ready for Week 1. His absence could derail the Giants’ season, as he’s the only receiver who can single-handedly turn games around. Despite a stellar rookie campaign with 1,200+ yards an...

Brock Purdy and George Kittle are rewriting tight end history with elite quarterback-pass catcher efficiency, ranking fourth all-time since PFF began tracking — beating legends like Jason Witten. Since 2022, Purdy’s thrown to Kittle nearly 300 times for 3,000+ yards and 26 TDs. In 2025, Kittle was fifth among tight ends in EPA per play, adding 490 yards and 5 scores. Even more impressive: rookie J...

Matthew Stafford and Kyren Williams are rewriting the playbook with elite efficiency—clocking in at 0.51 EPA per play, Williams snagged 44 of 53 targets for 351 yards and 5 TDs with zero turnover-worthy plays, earning PFF’s top pass-catching back duo honor and a 125.7 passer rating from Stafford, proving ageless precision and lethal chemistry on the Rams’ offense.

Jaquan Brisker is hitting the offseason with a vengeance, training alongside NFL legend Aaron Donald to sharpen his game ahead of his new role with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After four solid years with the Bears — where he racked up over 300 tackles, 7 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles — Brisker is now locked in as the Steelers’ free safety, ready to thrive in their new defensive schemes. Signed to a one...

The Bucs are banking on rookie cornerback Keionte Scott to be the game-changer their pass defense desperately needs, despite his late draft slot and offseason wrist surgery. A fourth-round pick from Miami, Scott brings elite speed, relentless motor, and a linebacker-like play style that could make him a key sub-package weapon — and maybe even a starting nickelback. With a history of rookies making...

The Las Vegas Raiders are steering clear of controversy as they rebuild, rejecting the idea of signing Terrion Arnold despite his on-field talent—his felony charges for armed robbery and kidnapping make him a risky fit for a young, character-driven roster under new leadership.

Seattle Seahawks ownership is narrowing down to two top contenders after Todd Boehly’s bid fell through: the Aditya Mittal and Wyc Grousbeck group (Celtics owners) and the Vinod Khosla family (49ers investors). Mittal, a London-based steel magnate, plans to lead from afar, while Grousbeck will be more hands-on in Seattle — both favoring a hands-off, fan-friendly approach. The Khosla group, includi...

Jerry Jones has a history of meddling in assistant coach hires — like when he brought in Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator in 2007 while still searching for a head coach. That pattern explains why Brian Schottenheimer had a guaranteed spot as offensive coordinator in 2025, no matter who got the head coaching job. Schottenheimer, who wanted the top role to run his own vision, confirmed he and...
