Image courtesy of Curry Athletics WORCESTER – Last year, the whole football world was talking about Curry College’s Montie Quinn for a weekend. That’s because Quinn made history back in October, setting the NCAA all-time rushing record (at any level) for a game with a ridiculous 522 yards in a 71-27 win over Nichols. Making it even more amazing, was that he did it on just 20 carries and also…

Potential Patriots: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
Courtesy of Texas A&M Athletics Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M, Height: 6’2 ½” Weight: 253 lbs Cashius Howell is an explosive, high-motor edge defender who has transformed himself from a situational speed rusher at Bowling Green into a dominant, All-American force in the SEC. Howell possesses an elite first step and a natural sense for timing the snap, often leaving offensive tackles in a reactive state from the opening whistle…….
Potential Patriots: R. Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma
R. Mason Thomas is an explosive, “hair-on-fire” edge rusher who compensates for a lack of prototypical length with elite get-off and a sophisticated pass-rush plan. While his frame (specifically his 0th-percentile arm length) will lead to “Designated Pass Rusher” (DPR) labels, his high-motor play and lateral range make him a disruptive force. He is best suited for an odd-front (3-4) outside linebacker role where he can utilize a wide-9 alignment to stress tackles with speed.

Patriots officially announce coaching staff titles for 2026
Image courtesy of The New England Patriots On Monday, the Patriots put out the official coaching staff with full titles for 2026. This of course is much different than how things operated for 20+ years under Bill Belichick, where titles weren’t always clear due to financial commitments some of them would require. Now, Mike Vrabel is all about transparency and treating coaches like actual human beings, which is refreshing. The…
AJ Brown trade requires a lot of money & moving parts, making it hard to complete
Image courtesy of USATI The rumors surrounding a potential A.J. Brown trade to the Patriots have reached a fever pitch since the Eagles brought back Dallas Goedert over the weekend, but for a New England front office that just watched their team compete in Super Bowl LX, the price of a first-round pick may be a bridge too far.
