The New England Patriots have selected three wide receivers over the last two NFL drafts, and for their offense to reach its maximum potential this coming season, at least one of them needs to step up and be a reliable contributor. Kyle Williams could be that guy. The Patriots drafted the Washington State wideout with the No. 69 pick (third round) in the 2025 draft. He tallied career highs with 70 receptions, 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns for the Cougars during the 2024 season.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has only played one NFL season, but he has already earned respect and admiration from one of the sport's best players. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who won the league's MVP award last season, is a fan of Maye. They both have similar skill sets with the ability to throw the football with power and accuracy, while also being able to escape the pocket and use their athleticism to make huge plays running the football.

Should the Boston Celtics trade up in the 2025 NBA Draft to select a player who could make a meaningful impact as a rookie? The C's are one of only three teams in the second apron of the luxury tax, which limits their ability to add players via trade and free agency. Therefore, the upcoming draft is likely the best player for the Celtics to add young, cost-controlled young players.

The 2025 Stanley Cup Final concluded Tuesday with the Florida Panthers beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 to secure their second straight championship. And now the offseason has officially begun. The most notable event on the calendar is the 2025 NHL Draft, which starts in eight days. This year's draft class is impressive, especially at the center position. That's good news for the Boston Bruins, who will pick No. 7 overall after failing to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Celtics draft fits: Should C's trade up in first round for Cedric Coward?

The Boston Celtics aren't scheduled to pick until late in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean good players won't be available. Boston currently owns the No. 28 overall selection. Most drafts, especially in recent years, have produced real talent at the end of the first round and early second round. For example, the Indiana Pacers selected Andrew Nembhard with the No. 31 overall pick (first pick in Round 2) in 2022.

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett was the top villain in Boston during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs when he appeared to hit then-Bruins captain Brad Marchand in the head during Game 3 of their second-round series at TD Garden. Marchand was knocked out of the game as a result of the hit and also didn't play in Game 4. The Panthers won both of those games and ultimately eliminated the B's in Game 6. Bennett was not suspended for the hit, which angered Bruins fans.

Many of the moves the Boston Red Sox have made on and off the field in recent years are not what you'd expect a winning organization to make. The latest example came Sunday when they traded the face of their franchise, Rafael Devers, to the San Francisco Giants for an underwhelming package of four players. The Devers trade comes five years after the Red Sox traded another star in his prime -- Mookie Betts -- in a deal that looks worse by the day.

Marchand cements Hall of Fame legacy with second Stanley Cup title

There are lots of certainties in life, and it's time to add Brad Marchand being a first ballot Hockey Hall of Famer to that list. That's right. It's settled. There's no more debate. Marchand is a Hall of Fame player. He already had a very strong Hall of Fame case going into the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but after playing at such an elite level for the Florida Panthers and helping them clinch back-to-back championships, there is no counter argument anymore.
