Wait, I just looked at the Kansas City Chiefs schedule... (whispers) "...there is a world where they don't make the playoffs."

Ben Johnson presser takeaways: ▪️ Roles aren’t being earned yet that starts in training camp. But communication has improved. ▪️ Ball placement is a daily priority. They’re grading Caleb ABCDF in QB meetings, individual, 7-on-7 and team periods. Ben said Caleb has taken it to heart. ▪️ Caleb is doing a better job carrying meeting-room work onto the practice field. Doesn’t need a ton of reps. ▪️ Colston Loveland has been one of the most consistent young players Ben has been around. Advanced in the playbook, always taking notes, good in pressure moments, trusted by QBs/coaches, and his route tree has taken another step. ▪️ Kalif Raymond is not just a gadget guy. Ben praised his vertical push, urgency off the ball, inside/outside versatility, elite quickness and motivation. ▪️ Minicamp goals: establish the standard, handle business, run after catch, pursuit, takeaways and ball security. ▪️ Ben says he’s evolved as a play caller more situational, more focused on tailoring the offense to the guys available and getting playmakers the ball in space. ▪️ Darnell Wright stood out for his professionalism and approach. Ben called him a powerful, right-side tone-setter who can displace people in the run game. ▪️ On defenses having more tape on Caleb: Ben said the priority is mastering core plays first then the exotic stuff can come. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

🚨🚨🚨 Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me. In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.

NFL Draft day is upon us and I can honestly say that it’s probably my favorite part of the year. Arguably more exciting than any non-Patriots Super Bowls

NFL fun fact of the day: The Actor who played Sloth from The Goonies was the number 1 overall pick in the 1973 NFL draft.
