With a full season in Dallas and better support, expect him to climb back to the top of the hea...

Dexter Lawrence, the elite defensive tackle who traded his way out of New York for a fresh start with the Bengals, is still viewed as one of the best at his position—even if his 2025 stats didn’t dazzle. Ranked seventh among DTs for 2026 by NFL insiders, he admits last season wasn’t his best, but it wasn’t due to injury. After seven years with a struggling Giants team, he’s hungry for a new challe...

Isas Waxter, a bruising 61, 201-pound cornerback from Villanova, is carving out a gritty NFL path despite injury setbacks and going undrafted in 2025.

The Ravens defense boasts elite starters like Hendrickson, Roquan Smith, and the Hamilton-Starks safety duo, but true championship potential hinges on the unsung depth.

In the secondary, Keyon Martin, Bilhal Kone, and Chandler Rivers a...

Mac Jones opens up about his rocky NFL journey, tracing his struggles in New England back to the chaotic aftermath of Josh McDaniels’ departure — when the Patriots abandoned a proper offensive coordinator and instead dumped play-calling duties on defensive-minded figures like Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

Despite the projection, the defensive backs are building chemistry and Vic Fangio is confident in his players, sug...

Two high-draft defensive rookies, Shemar Stewart and Demetrius Knight, are under the microscope after underwhelming rookie seasons. Stewart, a first-round pick, posted the worst PFF grade among edge rushers with poor run defense and lackluster pass-rushing stats.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, the beloved journeyman QB with that iconic beard, turned heads at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s epic Madison Square Garden wedding — and yes, he got emotional during the ceremony, especially as Swift walked down the aisle to “Love Story.” Though he’s retired and far from the spotlight, Fitz still commands attention, not just for his NFL grit but for his heart-on-sleeve authenti...

The Giants may still be juggling roster moves before the season, with linebacker Micah McFadden, defensive back Dru Phillips, and safety Tyler Nubin all in play as potential trade candidates. McFadden’s role is shrinking with new additions, Phillips faces pressure after a disappointing sophomore season, and Nubin’s starting spot is threatened by versatile signings.

The Eagles aren’t just stacking stars—they’re building a championship-caliber depth chart that can weather injuries and outlast the grind.

Teammates call him the biggest, strongest guy on the field, always around the ball, while opponents like Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba compare his relentless energy to Troy Pol...

The Miami Dolphins’ offensive line is getting brutal reviews, ranking near the bottom of the league—again. Despite bringing in high-potential rookies like Kadyn Proctor and veteran Jamaree Salyer, and losing key pieces, the talent on paper should be better. With a mobile quarterback and a projected starting five loaded with draft pedigree, this could be the year the line finally breaks through aft...

Training camp kicks off with high stakes for Dallas Cowboys’ newcomers, each carrying unique pressure. Cobie Durant steps into a key cornerback role, expected to anchor a shaky position.

Carolina’s high hopes for Tetairoa McMillan as their WR1 Rookie of the Year are being tested — he’s got the flashes, the honors, and the pedigree, but struggles with contested catches, converting just 30% of his targets — far below elite receivers and even his own college numbers.
