Trey Lance is the most intriguing prospect in this draft. At any position. He has the size (6-4 230), the athleticism and arm strength necessary to become a pro bowl quarterback in the NFL. The only two issues with Lance are his lack of experience and the competition he has faced. If a team is willing to draft him and sit him, it is not a stretch to think that……

It was probably the same reaction many Patriots fans had, the fans that refuse to believe this team can be as bad as it was last year. These videos are nothing new, as Cam has been…

Rousseau hit a growth spurt of sorts while at Miami and transitioned to defensive end where he put together a dominate season in 2019 finishing with 15.5 sacks. Rousseau opted out of playing last season due to COVID-19. So……
