Kyle Shanahan isn’t chasing short-term fireworks. Last year, he learned his lesson that uncontrollable factors like injuries could change your destiny in the matter of a few seconds. This has opened new doors. He’s building an NFL ecosystem, sustainable, self-replenishing, and always dangerous. It’s not just about winning this year’s NFC West—it’s about being in the mix every year, irrespective of injuries, roster shakeups, or salary cap traps.

Back in 1985, Jerry Rice had no idea that to become a football superstar, he’d also be required to hone physics. Joining the San Francisco 49ers during that year’s NFL Draft, Rice’s talent had far exceeded his rookiness—a sign that definitely put his front office at ease. By the time 1991 rolled by, the wide receiver already racked up numbers that put him in a future Hall of Fame conversation, unbeknownst to the fact that a fumble was closer than expected.

It didn’t feel real. Third quarter, MetLife Stadium, January 2, 2022, Buccaneers led by Tom Brady, trailing the Jets 24–10, still in the playoff hunt.

In this post-Belichick era, the Patriots need bold, authentic players—and in this draft, they found one who’s not just dreaming but already living the NFL dream.

There’s something about women who like sports and talk about it all day, every day. We have seen Erin Andrews (Fox) and Charissa Thompson (Amazon Prime) garner a lot of attention on the sidelines and even on social media. But the media giant ESPN was looking for a way to rake in the popularity. They are already making waves for the Rich Eisen vs Pat McAfee episode, which could happen in the coming fall.

Did Mike Tomlin make a leap bigger than he could land? He traded away both of last year’s starters, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Currently, he projects Mason Rudolph as the starter, unless the roster adds another player. But deep down, his greatest hope is to see Super Bowl winner Aaron Rodgers in a black-and-gold jersey.

After a disappointing 2024 season, the NY Giants were determined to make a strong comeback. That’s precisely why head coach Brian Daboll went above and beyond to sign Russell Wilson. But he didn’t stop there—he also added veteran quarterback Jameis Winston to the roster. However, he saved the biggest move for last. That’s how desperate they were: they traded a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 third-round pick just to acquire another first-round selection—solely to draft a quarterback.

Irsay’s commitment to his players went beyond words. His dedication wasn’t limited to financial support.
