My least-favorite thing about the offseason: serious injuries for players heading into their rookie years. For guys trying to establish themselves in the league, itโs just devastating timing.

#Cardinals rookie DT Kaleb Proctor, a 4th-round pick in this year's draft, tore his meniscus during OTAs and could miss the entire 2026 season, per HC Mike LaFleur.

Because there are so many other meaningful things going on with the NFL right now, I am certain everyone will simply agree wholeheartedly with this (entirely subjective) list and move on with their days. *

The more OL I study, the more convinced I am that coaching/scheme/environment are the biggest hidden variables in how individual players and full units are perceived.
Environment sets the floor. Talent determines the ceiling.
A better ecosystem can stop exposing a player and start maximizing what he already does well. Talent still matters, but OL play is uniquely dependent on whether the conditions around the player are raising the floor or cracking it.

Fresh Bootleg episode! Basically, we were messing around having some fun answering the question of "Who's next?" in the NFL... then June 1st hit, and the league threw us (and everyone else) a massive curveball. So you get a little of both. Enjoy. youtu.be/Er4_RTVXdyc?si=GH3Eโฆ

The Bears stadium is a shambles. But #DaBears Draft wasnโt. Myself & @FootballEJ were joined by @StaceyDales this week as we spoke about the newest Chicago Bears. youtu.be/bWi7zDP8u5s?is=DmE0โฆ

Lane Johnson is entering year 14. This will be the first time he has had a new OL coach. He'll also be in a Shanahan-adjacent system. What sorts of things might be different? We talked about a lot but here's one I'm excited about: more change-up & jump sets, especially off of PA

It's usually stupid to call someone of this caliber underrated, but Nico Collins might be the most underrated legitimately great WR in the league.
Among WRs with 600 routes since 2023, he's 2nd in yards per route run and 6th in first downs per route run, while playing in an offense that has not been perfect and operating almost exclusively as an X-receiver.
And more importantly, his film 100% backs up those stats, as shown by #ReceptionPerception throughout his career. I don't see a true weak point in his game other than injuries, of course.
