The Detroit Lions have already signed several key free agents and traded for cornerback Carlton Davis this summer. According to Austin Mock’s NFL Projection Model, the Lions are having one of the finest four offseasons in the league. However, according to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, edge rusher Josh Allen remains a possibility for the Lions. Knox identified Detroit as one of two teams who are “potential suitors” for Allen. “The Detroit Lions signed pass-rusher Marcus Davenport in free agency, but only for one year,” Knox wrote. “Detroit has $21.6 million in cap space available and may see Allen as…

Alabama football received a commitment on Wednesday from linebacker Darrell “Duke” Johnson. According to the 247Sports aggregate rankings, Johnson, who plays for Dodge County in Georgia, is a four-star talent. According to the 247 composite, Johnson is the No. 3 linebacker in the 2025 class, ranking him 28th overall. He began his high school career as a defensive back before moving to linebacker. “Plays the ball extremely well in the air, making use of his 80-inch wingspan and superb athleticism to attack the ball at the highest point,” 247Sports national analyst Hudson Standish wrote in his assessment of Johnson. “Made…

Coach Kirby Smart announced Tuesday that Georgia running back Trevor Etienne will face disciplinary action from both the university and the athletic department following his DUI arrest over the weekend. If Etienne is found guilty of DUI, he will miss 10% of Georgia’s season, or at least one game out of the Bulldogs’ 12-game schedule.

On Wednesday evening, the Detroit Lions announced the re-signing of veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Contract information was not immediately accessible. Sudfeld entered 2023 as the Lions’ presumed backup quarterback before the team made two key moves at the position. First, they selected Hendon Hooker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and then they signed veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to serve as backup quarterback and mentor. Sudfeld entered training camp as the third-string quarterback (with Hooker out due to a non-football injury). It was unclear if he would make the 53-man roster or spend the season on the…

After transferring to rival Ole Miss, defensive end Princely Umanmielen determined to throw a fire under the whole Florida Gators team, doing so with brutal honesty. Coming out of college in the Class of 2020 as a four-star recruit, Umanmielen received 27 offers before committing to the University of Florida. Dan Mullen was the head coach for the first two seasons, and Billy Napier will take over in 2022. In his final two seasons with the Gators, the 6-foot-5, 255-pound Umanmielen recorded 39 tackles and 11.5 total sacks, offering a regular threat to rival SEC offenses. Umanmielen, like many other…

Kendrick Law, a wide receiver for the University of Alabama, crowned him early in spring practice as no longer a tight end, but he has quickly adapted to his new job. Caleb Odom, a five-star freshman from Georgia, has made a smooth transition to wide receiver. The 6-foot-5, 215-pounder has made plays in practice and constantly draws attention from Crimson Tide offensive coaches and teammates. JaMarcus Shephard, Alabama’s co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach, is happy that Bryan Ellis allowed Odom to leave the tight end room to become a receiver. Shephard was thrilled that Odom’s family allowed him to feel comfortable choosing…

Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch had a terrific rookie season, but the franchise has even bigger ambitions for the 22-year-old defense going ahead. Many have wondered if the fact that the Lions have not gone out and signed a safety in free agency was a sign that they were preparing to play Branch—who was almost exclusively a nickel cornerback last season—at safety more going forward. While coach Dan Campbell said they are still looking for additional safety help, he more-or-less admitted that was the track Branch is on. “Branch has got flexibility to be able to play the safety…

As Alabama football resumes its spring practice period, Kalen DeBoer made it clearly obvious that Jalen Milroe is the starting quarterback. His words about the quarterback position suggest a solid plan for the future. However, they raise concerns regarding the remainder of the depth chart. DeBoer, in his first year as Nick Saban’s successor, will continue to work with Milroe. The redshirt sophomore is the current starter, having led the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff last season. That hasn’t changed. He continues to lead the pack. Jalen has taken every photo with the ones this spring. He’s…

New Ole Miss Rebels defensive end Princely Umanmielen took a shot at the coaching staff of his former team, the Florida Gators. Umanmielen was one of the most sought-after transfer players in the portal. He played for the Gators for four years and has shown noticeable improvement in every season.
