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....

But before I do that, I might be like, 'Hey, let me get a couple carries in the preseason so I can show you all something.'"The 31-year-old may believe he still has some left in the tank but it's...

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown find themselves in the upper-tier of NBA star duos. But following a disappointing exit from the 2023 NBA Playoffs with a Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, the attention now shifts to the contract situation looming for Brown.With Tatum and Brown leading the way and the Celtics' impressive roster in recent years, many expected the team to bring another title back to Boston.

From the outside looking in, the Kansas City Chiefs remain atop the list of most logical destinations for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. However, internally, the Chiefs don't appear all too desperate to add to their receiving arsenal. While there is "certainly some interest" from the Chiefs per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the NFL insider noted that he doesn't get the sense Kansas City is "overly desperate to make this happen." Appearing on the Keyshawn, JWill & Max Show, Fowler prefaced the team's moderate level of interest in Hopkins by highlighting that "they do believe Kadarius Toney can be a No. 1 type...
