A tweener on the defensive line, Adetomiwa Adebawore has played multiple positions, but where will he land in the NFL?
The 2023 NFL Draft is almost here, and by now I’m sure you’ve heard all about the top players at virtually every position group. But what about one of the most unique prospects in the class, someone who has rocketed up draft boards after a dominant Senior Bowl and an incredible workout at the NFL Combine? I’m talking about Northwestern defensive lineman Adetomiwa Adebawore.

Randall Cobb really wants a call from the Jets front office after ex-teammate Aaron Rodgers was traded to the Big Apple. Cobb made it known on social media Tuesday afternoon with a not-so-discrete workout video, showing the folks in NY he’s ready to go.
Cobb, a free agent wideout still looking to play at 32, posted a workout video for a certain team with a name that starts with “J” and ends in “s” … and not the Jaguars.
While there are plenty of critics bashing Max Scherzer and calling him a cheater after he was ejected against the Los Angels Dodgers, the New York Mets are very much leaning into the controversy surrounding the pitcher.
Scherzer was ejected against the Dodgers and then suspended 10 games after umpire Phil Cuzzi believed his hands were too sticky. The 38-year-old insisted it was a simple combination of sweat and rosin and yelled those three words after being tossed in Los Angeles. After the game, he swore on his kids’ lives that all he was using was sweat and rosin.
The NFL draft had never seen a prospect like John Elway.
Then again, in 1983, very few people had ever seen the NFL draft.
Elway, the impeccable Stanford talent with the golden right arm and the hair to match, appeared certain to be headed to the Baltimore Colts, who had the No. 1 pick after going 0-8-1 the previous year.
Yet Elway was about to do something unprecedented, and attempt to control his own destiny.
I know we say it every year, but I mean it this time: This is as hard a draft to predict as I can remember.
And that’s because, as I said to someone the other night, it feels like we’re all looking at a Jenga tower that’s teetering on a piece that reads “Houston Texans” on it. Pull it out correctly, and maybe you can pull a few more blocks as a result. But if you’re shaky on the trigger, the whole thing could come tumbling down. In either case, you’re in the same boat as the people making the decisions.
“Prepared for anything at this point,” says one GM, via text.

Here’s our final big board for the 2023 NFL Draft.
The 2023 NFL Draft is mere hours away, and now, we finally have the culmination of our season-long coverage with my 2023 NFL Draft board.
I ranked 200 prospects from every college imaginable, from Alabama to Stone Cold Stephen F. Austin (gimme a hell yeah), from Florida State to Sacramento State. The 200 prospects ranked cover almost every position. It’s my first time publishing a big board this large.

With QB flexibility and 5 Top-84 picks, including 2 first-rounders, the Seahawks control the draft.
If I were to tell you at this time last year that the Seattle Seahawks would be picking in the top-5 and then in the 20s in the 2023 NFL Draft, you would assume that Seattle was as bad as expected post-Russell Wilson trade and that they’d be in desperate need of a quarterback.
Needless to say, it didn’t work out that way.
The Patriots reportedly have a very real interest in former Kentucky QB Will Levis.
Levis has become a focal point of the NFL Draft ahead of picks getting underway Thursday. His odds to be taken first overall skyrocketed Tuesday due to a random Reddit post claiming he told his family the Panthers informed him he’d be the top pick.
If that doesn’t happen – there’s no concrete reporting to suggest it will – the Patriots have some serious interest in him.
Former Colorado football player Zachary Courtney is struggling to get coaches his practice film.
The former three star tight end recruit hopped into the portal last week after appearing in two games in 2022. He has four years of eligibility remaining.
However, not being able to show coaches any film is a bit of a problem. The young tight end tweeted Tuesday that Deion Sanders won’t allow him to share any of his practice film from last season.
Instead, coaches interested in Courtney’s services will just have to “text” him.
Young scored Atlanta’s final 14 points, capped by the winner from near the logo. Here’s how we got there.
