  • Why Eli Stowers Could Become the New Problem Child in Philadelphia

    Forget AJ Brown for a second and start to think about what the Philadelphia Eagles have in store for the 2026 NFL regular season. They drafted not only Makai Lemon but Markel Bell and Eli Stowers in the first couple rounds.

    Stowers starts to warrant the cushion the Eagles need at tight end with a trending alert at the position. Ever since Sean McVay incorporated a three tight end set because of men down. Teams have been loading up on tight ends and especially at this past year’s 2026 NFL Draft.

    The Eagles played well on defense last year. There were Maxx Crosby rumors floating around.

    With the return of Dallas Goedert, him, Grant Calcaterra, and Stowers will have specific roles to play and implement strategy for big opposing men such as them, feasibly, to move on from Brown and create speed on the outside for Lemon and Devonta Smith through wear and tear.

    The Los Angeles Rams almost won against the Seattle Seahawks in last year’s NFC Conference championship game but due to Mike MacDonald’s dominant safety, nickel and linebackers scheme. They won fair and square against a heavy tight end pass rush.

    Now, is the Eagles and Eli Stowers’ time to shine bright as most teams will look to add strength and physicality at the second level.

  • OBJ Nearing Comeback of his Career

    Odell Beckham Jr. is used to the game of football by now. He likes to run and pound as they say.

    Nothing will get in his way because he is so fearlessly motivated to do great things. In a recent interview, he talked about how OBJ wanted to ultimately win a Super Bowl first in NY and that is what makes him so special this go-round.

    He is a team-first player that wants to win now before his career is over. He recently took some of the Giants out to dinner.

    Along that path, OBJ has started to learn some of his teammates. There are some well-equipped staff in the New York Giants locker room and it will be a matter of if and when OBJ can reap the benefits.

  • What the Chicago Bears Should Do with Stadium Outlook

    According to sources, the Chicago Bears are planning on relocating their stadium in the foreseeable future to the suburbs or Indiana. While it is not the most popular decision, Soldier Field has become an iconic stadium for decades. In fact, why cannot the Bears treat the stadium as a unique situation.

    It does not stop there.

    The Chicago Bears are one of the historic franchises in the NFL that consisted of NFL players such as JIm McMahon, Walter Payton, Steve McMichael, Mike Singletary, Brian Urlacher, and now Caleb Williams. To give up the Chicago name would be perilous.

    Arlington Heights would be the best option. The San Francisco 49ers have tried with Saint Clara and the results have benefitted there. If the Bears are going to upgrade their stadium, they need to make their venue meaningful.

    Or else..

    Soldier Field can just be called the new Fenway Park to football. The Bears can upgrade their current stadium and even add a Citgo sponsored sign. Chicago is famous for their deep-dish pizza, skyline, and most of all football.

  • 2026 NFL Draft Round 1 Grades

    Los Angeles Rams: B+

    I am a huge Ty Simpson fan when it comes to this pick. He leaves the same intensity for Alabama and now Los Angeles. Stetson Bennett may have been a step back in recent years but I think Simpson can definitely learn from a pro’s pro Matthew Stafford and grasp information as time goes forward.

    Dallas Cowboys: B-

    Cowboys receive a B- for drafting Caleb Downs. Downs slipped but for huge reason. I would argue he created a lot more buzz entering college than he did exiting.

    As for Malachi Lawrence, we have seen this before with Demarcus Lawrence. Only, Demarcus’ time had abated.

    Kansas City Chiefs: A-

    The Chiefs filled the room with one objective. Get a guy to disrupt the quarterback and they did that successfully.

    New York Jets: C+

    The New York Jets continue to reinvigorate the roster and they drafted David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr. Bailey was undoubtedly a better pick than Fernando Mendoza.

    Las Vegas Raiders: D

    The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Mendoza with the first overall pick and the quarterback did not even shake Rodger Goodell’s hand. The arm is a little questionable, to me, since he emanates from a great, souring Indiana program.

    Tennessee Titans: A

    Carnell Tate is an excellent player. The Titans and Robert Saleh not only draft another viable OSU wide receiver, they add one right beside Jermaine Johnson.

    New York Giants: C

    I did not like the Giants picks on Night 1. I, however, liked the uplifting speech by Francis Mauigoa about letting loose, similar to Will Campbell’s draft night audition.

    New England Patriots: B-

    OT Caleb Lomu is an assurance policy on the right side.

    Los Angeles Chargers: A+

    Akheem Mesidor is the sleeper of the first round draft. If Miami won the National championship, maybe people would be talking about Mesidor more. But it is just me. Quarterbacks always get favored in the draft.

    Cleveland Browns: A

    Browns receive a solid A for simply no effort. They select the best offensive lineman in the draft.

    Philadelphia Eagles: B

    Makai Lemon was on the phone with the Pittsburgh Steelers just before the Eagles drafted him. I think Lemon has the most upside of any receiver but AJ Brown needs to bleed green another year.

    Seattle Seahawks: A

    Jadarian Price is a great payday for him and Seattle. They lose Kenneth Walker but Price displays more than a one-cut style.

  • Fernando Mendoza Prepares for the NFL Spotlight

    Fernando Mendoza is a soon-to-be Las Vegas Raider. More likely the case, Mendoza will serve as a significant contributor to a team that has needed help since owner Mark Davis succeeded the team.

    Speaking of which, owners across the NFL league have until March 29 to vote whether Mark Davis should sustain ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. It is safe to say Egon Durban will be a viable candidate.

    But, the spotlight is on Mendoza just a month in from the possible owner transfer. Not only did Mendoza play fantastic at Indiana, he revolutionized a program under coach Curt Cignetti.

    Mark’s father, Al, invigorated a program of, “Just win, baby!” He was the quintessential leader of his time and Mark owes it to the Las Vegas Raiders.

    After signing Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean, Kwity Paye, the team needs a leader and that might be Mendoza, and not Crosby.

  • Malik Willis Right Option for Dolphins

    It was not too long for the Miami Dolphins to sign Malik Willis. He signed for 3-years, $67.5 million (45 million guaranteed).

    This was the right option for Jeff Hafley and staff. This allows the leeway to move on from former Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and set free a new, clear path.

    Throughout the last couple of seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Willis served well in a total of 11 NFL games and completed 78.7% of his passes. He won two games as a starter and proves a reunion with Hafley is feasible.

    The main question is whether Willis can handle a second chance over his Tennessee Titans days. Willis immediately got the call to play eight games during his rookie season and floundered through his last three games in red, white and blue.

    Signs point to the naïveté dispersing into a big opportunity for Willis to miraculously play well.
