TV cameras caught Jihaad Campbell skipping down the draft theater hall, slapping the Eagles emblem, and delivering a PPV promo after getting drafted by the #Eagles. “The rich got richer,” he said afterward. Scenes from Campbell’s memorable draft night: inquirer.com/eagles/jihaad-…
At American media days, #Temple coach K.C. Keeler discussed a variety of topics, including the QB competition heading into fall camp between Gevani McCoy and Evan Simon, how they will approach revenue sharing, and more. More here: inquirer.com/college-sports…
#Temple coach K.C. Keeler says the QB competition between Evan Simon and Gevani McCoy will continue through preseason camp. Even though Simon joined Keeler at AAC media days, he’s not locked in as the starter.
Penn State coach James Franklin acknowledged his program's expectations at Big Ten media days, but says preseason rankings "means nothing." More on how Franklin, QB Drew Allar, and others are reloading for 2025 season: inquirer.com/college-sports…
As #Eagles training camp opens , RT Lane Johnson, 35, has fine tuned his game, even in the latter stages of his career. Inside Johnson’s offseason process and why Duke Manyweather believes “he’s probably the best right tackle to have ever played:” inquirer.com/eagles/lane-jo…
![RealD_Jackson's tweet card. Johnson enters year 13 with the Eagles and in the NFL, and has showed no signs of slowing down. "He’s building his Hall of Fame resumé, and it’s been incredible [to watch]," Terron Armstead said.](https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1947949494349246464/UQZYRaDX?format=jpg&name=orig)
The TL needs football games back on in the worst way, the discourse is getting out of hand on both sides of the coin
Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti isn’t mincing words when it comes to the expansion of the College Football Playoff inquirer.com/college-sports…
#Utah LT Caleb Lomu is a skilled pass protector with quick, nimble feet, recovery ability, and refits his hands when they're knocked off. Easy athleticism to move in pass and live out on an island in pass pro. At his best in 45 sets and jump sets, getting hands on edges early.
Jalen Hurts arrives to #Eagles training camp rocking the Jordan Trunner O/S, a nod to the Y2K-era and Michael Jordan’s offseason attire. The shoes will be available for purchase in October. 📸: @Jumpman23
#Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk (#15) is just physically imposing player w/powerful hands. He's a strong run defender and is a consistent stack and shedder in the run game. They used him on both sides of the formation, in the 4i, and he can reduce down in pass rush situations too.
Not to get too ahead of myself but man, #Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk, who will be a junior next year, keeps catching my eye. Still some more work to do in the 2025 class but he's one of the headliners for next year's class.
Inside Lane Johnson’s OL Masterminds, which brings top NFL linemen and the next generation together inquirer.com/eagles/ol-mast…
Last week, I got the opportunity to attend the 8th @OLMasterminds summit in Texas, that has grown tremendously from 27 players at the first one. A look inside the summit and how #Eagles RT Lane Johnson is building his legacy off the field with this event: inquirer.com/eagles/ol-mast…
Cam Newton is one of those rare players this century. He had me diving in my backyard growing up like this like I was Superman

Micah Parsons opened up about his contract situation in a conversation on Tuesday. He's not sweating it or the booming EDGE market and will leave talks to his agent, David Mulugheta. "I just work harder...I’m just going to get mine no matter what." pennlive.com/sports/2025/07…
*Unless* you study the position full-time, year-round, write 12k+ words detailing every player with extensive references and also use tiers to allow for flexibility in the rankings 2025 Top 75 OL dropped today btw trenchwarfare.substack.com/p/ranking-the-…
Making lists of top players in any sport just means the shows ran out of real things to talk about. Fans are goofy enough to pay attention, so they keep doing it. Every time you see a list or ranking, just ignore it so we can make the world a little better.
Is Lane Johnson now the most underrated player in the NFL?
Dion Dawkins is entering Year 9 with the #Bills and is a perennial Pro Bowler. I caught up with him one on one to reminisce on his time at #Temple and championing the “Protector of the Year” award. Dawkins made his first trip to @OLMasterminds this week: inquirer.com/college-sports…
A wrap from my first OL Masterminds at The Cosm. A huge special thanks to @BrandonThornNFL for the invite!
This morning #Bills LT Dion Dawkins shared his perspective at OL Masterminds on his approach in pass protection and reflects on feeling like he should have been a first round pick out of Temple instead of a second rounder.
