Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer joined us to discuss the Browns plans at QB with the first pick in the draft (yes UCLA QB Josh Rosen is in play), why Browns fans should feel very hopeful about the new front office under GM John Dorsey, and why the presence of new offensive coordinator Todd Haley is good for head coach Hue Jackson (@MaryKayCabot)

Guard Will Hernandez of UTEP is arguably the best prospect at his position in this draft class sans Quenton Nelson. He DOMINATED practices on Tuesday. I spoke to him earlier in the day and we discussed his playing style and the NFL guards he looks up to, how he’d feel playing for his college coach Sean Kugler (now the Broncos OL coach) again at the pro level, and why his sense of loyalty is the be...

A player who quietly stood out at Tuesday’s practice was LB Fred Warner of BYU. I caught up with Fred earlier in the day and asked him about the NFL linebackers he admires most and what the biggest asset he would bring to an NFL team is (Fred on Twitter: @Fred_Warner)

The 2017 NFL season is boiled down to three games and four teams as we get ready for Conference Championship weekend. Who would’ve thought that this year’s penultimate round in the NFL would consist of Tom Brady, Blake Bortles, Case Keenum and Nick Foles?? That list of QB’s sans Tom Brady might not sound appealing, but the overall quality of football teams knocking on the door of Super Bowl LII is...

Now that the 2017 NFL season has reached conference championship week, it means that 28 of the 32 NFL teams are now looking ahead to the 2018 season. Several teams have already undergone significant changes to their coaching staffs, and most (if not all) are getting ready for free agency and the draft. And to give us the news and analysis on this front, it is a pleasure to welcome back to the prog...

From January 22-27, Sports Krunch will be hitting the road and going to Mobile, Alabama to cover the 2018 Reese’s Senior Bowl.

Our prayers to the football gods were answered as Wild Card weekend delivered an unbelievable product, with three games decided by a touchdown or less. And I certainly hope the Divisional Round, which is usually the most exciting weekend on the NFL calendar, brings us some more heart-palpitating finishes. And to help us break down this weekend’s games and the NFL’s Elite 8, it is a pleasure to bri...

Happy New Year everybody! We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday. Well, the 2017 NFL regular season has ended and that means it’s playoff time. The final lap to Super Bowl LII officially begins this Saturday as Wild Card weekend commences. And to help us break down all four Wild Card playoff matchups, we are joined once again by our good friend Hal Bent, NFL and Patriots writer for Cover32.com...

Merry Christmas everybody! Well, they’re only two more weeks left to go in the 2017 NFL season, and the playoff picture is quickly coming together. Despite the lack of appeal regarding the matchups this weekend, a LOT of playoff seeds could be locked up after Monday. And to break it down for us, we once again would like to welcome back our good friend Hal Bent, NFL and Patriots writer for Cover32....

Happy Hanukkah everybody! Well, we are down to the final three weeks of the 2017 NFL season and the road to Super Bowl LII took another unpredictable turn this past week. The turn consisted of devastating injuries and poor performances, resulting in a more wide open race for both the NFC and AFC titles. And our good friend Hal Bent, NFL and Patriots writer for Cover32.com, MusketFire.com, and Scou...

It’s hard to believe, but the 2017 NFL season has already entered the top of the stretch, and the playoff picture became even more interesting given the results in Week 13. With many consequential matchups looming ahead this week, the picture could get even more fascinating. And to help us break it all down, it is a pleasure to welcome back yet again our good friend Hal Bent, NFL and Patriots writ...

There are only two weeks left in the 2017 college football season before it’s conference championship and bowl game time, which means that NFL scouting departments will likely be watching the final snaps of (and assigning final grades to) many, if not most of the 2018 NFL Draft prospects. And in that spirit, we would like to continue our 2018 NFL Draft preview series with a look at this DB class....
