Now that the draft is completed, it’s time to predict which rookies will have an “instant impact” this upcoming season. While it is a Herculean challenge to forecast which players will find early success at the NFL level, some rookies possess game-changing talent from day one.
The NFL has evolved into a pass-happy league that devalues running backs while prioritizing gunslingers and pass-catchers. Compiling the top 10 receivers was not an easy task.
The sweepstakes for the NFL’s marquee free agent wide receiver is heating up as DeAndre Hopkins explores his options for the upcoming 2023 season.
The five-time Pro Bowl wideout was released by the Arizona Cardinals last week after three seasons in the desert. Hopkins, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on June 6, has plenty left in the tank after posting 64 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns in just nine games a year ago.
What we once regarded as the Pro Bowl is now a relic of the past, to be replaced in 2023 by a new weeklong “Pro Bowl Games” event which is a celebration of player skills and features an exciting new format that spotlights flag football.
Great athletes don’t usually make good coaches. Exactly why this is the case is still open for constant discussion. There is no doubt that great athletes possess knowledge of sports that are often unrivaled.
Due to the high employee turnover rate in the NFL, new head coaching positions are always available. Although the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers have become the first NFL teams to scout for a new coach, other teams will no doubt join them. Over the last five offseasons, an average of seven NFL head coaching jobs have opened up each year.
We know it might be a bit too early to judge the 2022 NFL draft class. However, if the reports circulating the media lately are true, then some teams are already having one or two regrets about some of their chosen players. What could be the reason for the regrets of choosing these players?
Matt Rhule came into the NFL as one of the most hyped and brightest coaching prospects available during the 2020 hiring cycle. Sadly, he didn’t even make it through two-and-a-half years with the team that hired him.
Once upon a time, head injuries simply used to be all in a day’s work for football players.
Concussions weren’t a common topic in the NFL.
Players who smacked their heads violently on the field were sent back into the game almost immediately.
Today in the NFL, violent falls and hits are taken far more seriously.
Anxiety and excitement usually crawl in when a big game draws close. Sweaty palms and a racing mind are just some of the things that happen when a player remembers that he’s a few moments away from a match that might mark an essential milestone for the team.
