Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Myles Jack says that when NFL deals didn’t come rolling in as quickly as he thought they might, he considered making a career change.
Jack has 7 NFL seasons under his belt, the first six of which were with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He spent the 2022 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers released him in March.
However, until he was signed by the Eagles earlier this week, Jack was left twiddling his thumbs. That uncertainty led him to consider the possibility of needing to change careers.

According to a Mecklenburg County Police Department report obtained by WBTV, Breeland was arrested Monday afternoon and booked into Mecklenburg County Jail early Tuesday morning.

Devin Leary is a breakout candidate in college football this fall. That might be a strange way of phrasing it because he was a highly-watched NFL prospect in each of the last two seasons.
However, the 23-year-old redshirt junior quarterback has a real opportunity to play his way into an early-round pick come April, if not one of the first signal-callers off of the board. Leary can spin it.
He threw for 3,433 yards and 35 touchdowns with five interceptions on a 65.7% completion clip at N.C. State in 2021 and completed 61.
Amid seismic changes in the Big Ten, one of the conference’s most powerful figures is preparing to step away.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will retire at the conclusion of the 2023-24 academic year, he announced in a Wednesday morning press conference. Smith has led the Buckeyes’ athletic department since 2005.

Bashaud Breeland’s Magic Trip Comes To Hard Stop
In the vehicle, Breeland possessed four firearms — two AR-15s and two AK47s — 5 pounds of marijuana and 62 grams of ‘shrooms.
I didn’t think that when I sat down at my computer this morning I’d have a goal from the world of hockey to talk about, but dammit, if Alexander Ovechkin didn’t deliver the way he so often does.
The man will probably become the top goal-scorer in NHL history in a few years, so it shouldn’t be a shock that he’s throwing down highlight-reel material in August.
This one comes from an exhibition game in Ovie’s home country of Russia, the land of vodka, bears riding unicycles and Danis Zaripov.
That last name is key in this instance.
No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young met his quarterback idol Aaron Rodgers in Wednesday’s Panthers-Jets joint practice, while the Buccaneers continue their QB battle.
