Once all the storm clouds blow over, it turns out Manti Te’o is a pretty good linebacker, who probably would have been picked in the first round if it wasn’t for fear of some personal issues. The San Diego Chargers used their second round pick on him and are quite happy with what he’s showing early on, already thinking about turning him into an every-down kind of linebacker. More
From being a first round pick for the Chicago Bears two years ago, Gabe Carimi might soon find himself out of a job, fighting for what seems to be the right guard position or a backup spot, which he probably suited for while being watched by a coaching staff that didn’t pick him. More
It’s been one long, slow and painful decline for the San Diego Chargers over the last three seasons, despite having what was perceived to be a very talented squad. The number one problem, on the field? The offensive line. While making some additions and adjustments this offseason, the Chargers still need help at left tackle, which might make Winston Justice the best solution left for them. More
Just like with other rookies across the NFL, Geno Smith has been doing quite well in the rookie minicamp, making a lot of people among decision makers for the New York Jets think about giving the former West Virginia star the starting quarterback position for next season, pushing Mark Sanchez out of the way. More
Rookie minicamps can be confusing, making players looking better than they might be against a full roster by playing against guys who might be cut from the team pretty soon. It doesn’t change the fact that the Oakland Raiders are impressed from what they’re seeing in Tyler Wilson, already considering him for the starting quarterback position once the preseason is over.

It seems we’re at a standstill, which means it’s bad for Victor Cruz. The New York Giants aren’t going to pay a slot receiver, a very good one but still not a number one wide receiver type the kind of money he thinks he deserves. Eventually, knowing they have Hakeen Nicks to pay for as well and secretly knowing he’s the better player when healthy, Cruz is the one who’s going to lose from all of his stalling. More
Eleven quarterbacks were taken in the 2013 NFL Draft – EJ Manuel by the Buffalo Bills, Geno Smith by the New York Jets, Mike Glennon by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Matt Barkley by the Philadelphia Eagles, Ryan Nassib by the New York Giants, Tyler Wilson by the Oakland Raiders, Landry Jones by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brad Sorensen by the San Diego Chargers, Zac Dysert by the Denver Broncos, B. J. Daniels by the San Francisco 49ers and Sean Renfree by the Atlanta Falcons. More
If it wasn’t for his injuries over the last couple of years, Marcus Lattimore would have been a definite first round pick. The San Francisco 49ers took a chance on him in the fourth round and 131st overall pick, but being quite a patient organization, he won’t be rushed, and more likely than not sit out the entire season. More
One of the more persistent rumors this off-season has been the talk of Branden Albert being traded by the Kansas City Chiefs after they gave him the franchise tag earlier on, but recent developments have brought both sides to a standstill, with Albert not getting the long-term contract he wants, but also gets to keep the position of left tackle. More
After another playoff appearance last season, the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t planning on letting that streak end, hoping that the upgrades they’ve made to their offense through the NFL draft will be enough to take them beyond the wildcard stage. The most surprising addition, in the long run, might be Rex Burkhead, the sixth round pick out of Nebraska, making the strongest impression at this very early stage in training camp. More
