Boy, do we have a treat on Saturday afternoon. Two of the most storied programs in FCS football history will meet in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. When Eastern Washington makes the trip to the Fargodome to take on North Dakota State, they will be looking to avenge the 2019 title game loss to the Bison. NDSU easily rolled over the Eagles in 2019 in Frisco, winning by a score of 38-24. Believe me when I say, there is no love lost between these two fanbases, especially during the FCS Playoffs.

Instead of using the 26th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select a young edge-rusher, they can now look to add more to the secondary or even take the best offensive player available.

In my humble opinion, that one player could be Jaycee Horn, who…
The Cleveland Browns made a huge splash in NFL Free Agency. They inked former Rams safety John Johnson III to a reasonable deal for three years.

The Browns still need to add another cornerback to pair with All-Pro Denzel Ward, and NFL Draft prospect Jaycee Horn is candidate.…
