For weeks, it appeared Cam Ward was heading to the Tennessee Titans with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. On the surface, it looked like the perfect fit. The Titans brass fell in love with Ward and Miami quarterback was happy to reciprocate.
But there was one significant barrier the two sides had not discussed. What number would Ward wear in the NFL?
Ward — who wore the No. 1 at Washington State and Miami — could not bring his college number to the Titans. It was retired by the franchise in honor of Warren Moon.
As barriers go, this was a small issue.
The 2025 NFL draft is finally here, and teams have started bolstering their rosters with some of the nation’s best talent in college football.
It was a memorable first round on Thursday that consisted of trades galore (starting at second overall and then resurfacing in the back half of picks), some surprising picks and some notable prospects (including Shedeur Sanders and Will Johnson) falling out of Round 1.
The Chicago Bears selected Michigan tight end in Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick, which adds a dynamic weapon for quarterback Caleb Williams in the passing game.
The streak is at nine consecutive winners without a repeat winner at Talladega Superspeedway, the longest in track history, and there’s a good case it could continue.
Since Ryan Blaney won consecutive races at Talladega in 2019-20, the last nine races have featured these winners in order: Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Bubba Wallace, Ross Chastain, Chase Elliott, Kyle Busch, Blaney, Tyler Reddick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
The Detroit Lions have two picks scheduled Friday on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. They own the No. 60 overall pick late in Round 2 and the No. 102 overall pick to end Round 3.
Who might the Lions pick and what are their needs? We looked at 16 prospects who we think would interest general manager Brad Holmes and the Lions. And we all know that starts with a defensive end.
But here’s a few Day 2 mock draft predictions from draftniks.
Bob Baffert is back at the Kentucky Derby for the first time in four years, having served his punishment for Medina Spirit’s failed drug test and coming to the place where he’s won a record-tying six times.
He’s settled in at his old Barn 33, the signs boasting of his Churchill Downs triumphs again hanging on the outside wall.
“I’m going to have fun now that everything is behind me,” Baffert told The Associated Press in an interview this week.

This isn’t some grand conspiracy or anything like that.
The biggest story of the 2025 NFL Draft wasn’t the Jacksonville Jaguars’ massive swing to trade up for WR/CB Travis Hunter, it wasn’t the massive run on linemen in the first round.
It was, as always, a slide. A very prominent slide.
Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders was not picked in the first round of the draft, and it led to a lot of takes, on both sides of the coin:
ESPN shows that its Draft Day predictor thought there was a 96% chance Shedeur Sanders would go by the 21st pick.

The 2025 NFL Draft began as expected, with the Tennessee Titans drafting quarterback Cam Ward out of Miami.
Then, everything changed.
While Travis Hunter Jr., the incredible two-way standout from Colorado and the most recent winner of the Heisman Trophy, was the second pick Thursday night his landing spot came as a big surprise. Rather than the Cleveland Browns standing pat and taking Hunter at No.

The goal is to normalize sobriety, and since 2019, this group has grown to 2,000-plus fans and counting.
When you think of the city of Green Bay, you probably think of the Packers. This week, you almost definitely think of the NFL draft, which will kick off at Lambeau Field on Thursday, Apr. 24.
One thing that probably doesn’t come to mind is sobriety.
In addition to cheese curds and bratwurst, Wisconsin is known for its beer. Breweries like New Glarus, Central Waters Brewing, and even the behemoth brand Miller are all brewed in Wisconsin.
