Quarterback is not just the most important position in football, but it is arguably the most important position in all of sports. That is why quarterbacks in the NFL Draft always tend to have plenty of intrigue around them.

College football put a bow on a historic 2024 season as Ohio State won the national championship, and now it’s time to get a line on where the country’s most ta

The 2024-25 NFL season isn't over yet, as we still have three games on the schedule - the two conference title games and then the Super Bowl. But it's already time to start looking ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft.

Michigan football set a program record with 13 NFL draft picks last season and this year could lead all NCAA teams in first round selections.

The NFL Draft is just over three months away, but the mock draft season is in full effect. The New York Giants own the No. 3 overall pick after finishing the 2024 season with a disappointing 3-14 record.

Longtime ESPN and college football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first mock draft of the 2025 NFL draft season. In the mock, he has the Browns selecting the reigning Heisman winner.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had the Browns taking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. But in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock of the year for ESPN, he had Sanders’ teammate Travis Hunter going to Cleveland and Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

Should Kiper’s projection hold true, it would be the first time since the 2018 NFL Draft that the SEC failed to produce a top-5 pick. Oklahoma (then in the Big 12) produced the No. 1 overall pick in Baker Mayfield while Georgia’s Roquan Smith was the league’s top selection at No. 8 overall.

He believes Abdul Carter could take New England's defense to "another level." The post Mel Kiper Jr. has Patriots selecting Penn State star at No. 4 appeared first on Boston.com.
