The University of Alabama and premier football talents go together as well as milk and cookies. Once again, one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL Draft hails from Alabama, and his name is Patrick Surtain II. The junior out of Plantation, Florida is entering the draft early and has been a starter for stacked Alabama defenses for the past two seasons. Virtually every NFL analyst has Surtain at the top of the boards, and for good reason. Here’s the Patrick Surtain II NFL Draft profile, along with his stats, highlights and current projections.

One of the more intriguing prospects in this year’s NFL Draft class is cornerback Caleb Farley. He was an absolute star as a high school quarterback out of North Carolina. Farley was slated to play at wide receiver before a knee injury caused Virginia Tech to move him to the defensive side of the ball. As they say, the rest is history. From the Fuller brothers to linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to tight end Logan Thomas, Virginia Tech quietly produces some very solid NFL talent. Could Farley be the next Hokie success story? Here’s the Caleb Farley NFL Draft profile, along…

If the name Asante Samuel sounds familiar to you; it should. Asante Samuel Jr.’s dad, was a four-time Pro Bowler, one-time All-Pro and two-time Super Bowl champion for some of the most lethal New England defenses of all time. Now, his son is coming to the NFL scene. While many may be wondering how much of the hype is really his abilities and not just the name, Asante Samuel Jr. is undoubtedly one of the top cornerbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft. So, what has Samuel Jr. shown us and what can we expect from him at the next level?…

Defense wins championships. That mantra always has and always will stay true. If this past NFL season showed us one thing, it was the importance of solid depth at cornerback (looking at you, Packers). With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, every team will be looking to solidify their secondary to try to combat the new generation of high octane offenses. One of the more intriguing prospects hails from Northwestern: Greg Newsome II. He may not be an “elite” talent according to experts, but make no mistake, he can be a guy fans look back on as a major steal in…

We may be only two days into the MLB season, but baseball and politics are again intertwined already. It was announced today that the MLB All-Star Game would be moved from Atlanta in response to new legislation that has civil rights groups feeling that that it would potentially restrict voting rights and access for people of color. While many MLB fans just want to focus on baseball finally returning, this decision poses an interesting question to sports fans that we need answered: where does this end?

On Friday, the Green Bay Packers made it official and finalized the re-signing of Aaron Jones to a four-year, $48 million contract. Although that looks like quite the amount of money, Jones only carries a cap hit of $4.5 and $9 million over the next two seasons, respectively. In the 2023 and 2024 season however, his contract carries a hit of $19 and $15 million, meaning this deal is effectively for two years. Jones made an interesting statement after the deal became official. He stated: “I feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface to enter the prime yet. So…

In a strange turn of events, NBA Top Shot was able to successfully run a pack drop the first time. The drop was the third of the “Cool Cats” installment and first since last Friday, with the postponed 2021 rare All-Star Game pack. While I wasn’t able to experience that drop, here’s a brief overview of what was in the NBA Top Shot Cool Cats pack, and what to expect in similar packs in the future. NBA Top Shot Cool Cats Pack Drop Queue With the rising popularity of NBA Top Shot, the queues continue to get longer. However, even…

With many players having already been signed on NFL Free Agency, it’s natural to ask who is left? With players like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Will Fuller and Kenny Golladay already signing to teams, these are the three best free agent wide receivers still available. Best Free Agent WRs Still Available Tim Patrick One of the most underappreciated gems of the 2020 NFL season was Denver Broncos receiver Tim Patrick. He was always a lock for three receptions and 35 or more receiving yards a game. While that doesn’t sound like much, he also had six touchdown receptions, all while playing as…

TikTok star and NFL free agent JuJu Smith-Schuster is quite the loud personality. I don’t say that as a bad thing, it’s just who he is. That is why his pending free agency decision is so interesting. While some may still believe he will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers, I’ll take it from JuJu himself that he isn’t. When he saw an Instagram story where users could vote on the question “Will Juju stay in Pittsburgh,” JuJu himself voted “that’s a negative.” Could Smith-Schuster be doing this to play with the media or possibly play hardball? Possible, although it is…

The Green Bay Packers have made their decision. They had to choose between Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones in NFL Free Agency. Green Bay chose Jones, and with it, have much less money to play with now for bringing in free agents. The Packers need to make some moves and plenty of rumors have been flying around about who they may be serious about bringing in. Packer fans know all too well that just because a guy is brought in (looking at you Jordan Love), doesn’t mean he’s necessarily a good fit with the team. Here are the three best…
