They re-signed Kendrick Bourne, added K.J Osborn and have Pop Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton returning.

Ceiling/Floor Comps for the top six quarterbacks in the 2024 class

The 2024 quarterback is one of the most highly scrutinized classes in years. After a recent string of classes that have either underachieved or flopped, hopes are high for this group.  Now I’m not one for comps but I do think this class reminds me a lot of the 2004 class which featured Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and J.P Losman. Three of the four quarterbacks in that draft…

Sleepers by the dozen for 2024

As we are deep in the spring, we never stop looking forward to the fall. We wanted to peek ahead to the MIAA season, but with a bit of a different twist.
