Around the NFL: Ezekiel Elliott

So Dallas signed Ezekiel Elliott to a one-day contract yesterday so he can retire as a Cowboy -- hold on, I'm being told it's a one-year deal for 2024. I kid, but Elliott turns 29 years old this summer, and there's a lot of tread on his tires. Seems like a committee backfield coming up.   more »

Trivia: April 29, 2024

Jalen McMillan was picked 92nd in the draft, after two other receivers from his college team had already been chosen (Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk). What two schools in the history of the draft have had three receivers picked even sooner? Looking at the 1988 and 2000 drafts. answer »

Factoid: LA Chargers

The theory was that Jim Harbaugh would pick a bunch of his Michigan guys. Then the draft starts and … not so much.   more »

Factoid: Falling wide receivers

It was a strong class of wide receivers coming out of college, as evidenced by seven being selected in the first round. But the negative (for some players) is that the wealth of talent available probably factored into some guys falling out of the top 3 rounds.   more »

Factoid: Older receivers

Ricky Pearsall is an older receiver. If they 49ers open on Monday night this year, he’ll turn 24 before he plays in his first game as a pro. That’s considered a negative by some.   more »

Around the NFL: Running backs, at last

It took 46 picks, but there were finally some running backs selected in the NFL Draft last night. I'm sure there's some teeth-gnashing about where they went, but most of the landing spots look pretty solid to me.   more »

Trivia: April 27, 2024

Carson Wentz has signed with Kansas City, making him a possibility to throw a touchdown pass for a different team five years in a row (Eagles, Colts, Commanders and Rams the last four years). What current, active quarterback has already done this? answer »

Factoid: Whither Aiyuk

I will be interested to see how this Brandon Aiyuk situation plays out. He wants to be paid. He deserves to be paid. But I don’t think the 49ers can or will give him the kind of contract Aiyuk could get from other teams.  more »

Factoid: Brian Thomas

The Jacksonville Jaguars made out pretty well last night. Not only did they get one of the draft's best players at a position they needed someone at after losing Calvin Ridley in free agency, but they picked up 3rd- and 4th-round picks next year to do it.   more »

Trivia: April 26, 2024

Michigan last year went 15-0, winning college football’s national title, yet had only one player selected in the first round of the draft (J.J. McCarthy). In the NFL’s 32-team era (2002 to present) what is the only university that has won college football’s national title game but not had ANY players picked in the first round of the draft? This same school has actually done it twice (both teams included players who were eventually picked in the first round, but not until future years). answer »

Factoid: Hold That Tiger

If the media reports are to be believed, Malik Nabers will be selected in the top 10 tonight, and his LSU teammate Brian Thomas won’t be far behind. Two wide receivers from the same school, and that’s been happening more often recently.   more »

Factoid: Brenden Rice

At some point this weekend (maybe Friday), Southern Cal wideout Brenden Rice will hear his name called. He won't be mentioned without his Hall of Fame father Jerry Rice being discussed, but the college background also looks fairly encouraging.   more »

Trivia: April 25, 2024

Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas likely will be picked tonight, and they come from a school (LSU) that’s pumped out a lot of elite receivers. Odell Beckham, Justin Jefferson, Jarvis Landry and JaMarr Chase have all had seasons with 100-plus catches. What is the only university that’s produced even more players who have had 100-catch seasons at the NFL level? answer »
