Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson possesses phenomenal upside, yet he's still raw and might not be ready to start Week 1.During an interview with James Boyd of The Athletic, Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay compared Richardson's athleticism to a "superhero" but explained he must refine his game to grow into a viable NFL starter."No quarterback has brought those skills to the table, the athletic testing," Irsay said. "Anthony and I have talked a long time about that, but we really talked more about being a great quarterback and what that really means in this league because we're not drafting Olympic athletes....

Philadelphia’s Nakobe Dean learned a lot about the NFL during his rookie season. In the offseason he learned even more about mechanical engineering.Eight days after the team's loss in Super Bowl LVII, Dean returned to the University of Georgia for two classes: Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. Georgia’s spring semester began in January but the Eagles season didn’t end until February. So Dean had to take the first month of classes online before returning to school.

Paul Chryst was a rather successful college football coach. The problem? He seemingly wore out his welcome at Wisconsin after a stretch that saw him basically dominate in the Big Ten from 2015-19.After leading Wisconsin, his alma mater, to 10-win campaigns in four of his first five seasons, Cyryst went 4-3 in 2020 and 9-4 in 2021, which was apparently enough of a "slip" to earn him a pink slip in 2022. The Badgers fired Chryst mid-season last season after a 2-3 start with losses to Washington State, No. 3 Ohio State and Illinois.Chryst won't be a head coach again...

Another noteworthy member of the NFL community believes Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton could sit quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of backup Jarrett Stidham this fall. Sports Illustrated NFL senior writer Conor Orr predicted this week that Wilson "will not start a majority of the Broncos' games under center" during the 2023 season. "Payton is particular," Orr said. "He’s the head chef, and, while the quarterback is an integral part of making up his game plan, if you’re not running the plays as designed, he’s going to find someone who will." Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw spent the 2022 season as Payton's...

Although the free agency fun doesn't begin in the NBA for another month, officially kicking off on July 1, the rumors surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers have already picked up steam. Technically, one could argue they began down the final stretch of the postseason, specifically when Kyrie Irving showed up to a pair of the team's playoff games.While the top free agents and big names such as Irving are always going to drive the most intrigue, the Lakers will be plenty busy in free agency when considering they could have as few as four players remaining on their roster if they...
