After getting their franchise QB in C.J. Stroud, the Texans traded up nine spots to select Alabama pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. with the No. 3 overall draft pick.

San Diego State could soon be cashing in on the increased exposure from their run to the college basketball National Championship game.
The Aztecs weren’t able to win an unlikely title, but with several major conferences potentially looking to expand, their success couldn’t have come at a better time.
The Pac-12 continues to reel from the rapidly approaching departure of USC and UCLA, with new media rights hanging in the balance.
The Lions drafted running back Jahmyr Gibbs out of Alabama 12th in the 2023 NFL draft.
Gibbs came off the board much earlier than many mock drafts projected. He’s viewed as the second-best running back prospect in the class — behind Bijan Robinson, who went eighth — and Detroit selected him with the first of its two first-round picks after trading down from No. 6 with the Texans.
The Lions now have a rather crowded backfield with 2020 second-round pick D’Andre Swift, offseason addition David Montgomery and Gibbs all competing for touches.
A day after ESPN fired baseball reporter Marly Rivera in the aftermath of a vulgar confrontation with another reporter, a report from The Washington Post has detailed Rivera’s history of having similar run-ins in the past.
Rivera was let go from the network after a video surfaced of Rivera yelling an obscenity at Ivón Gaete as the pair became involved in a dispute regarding an interview with Yankees slugger Aaron Judge at Yankee Stadium, with Rivera calling Gaete a “f—ing c–t.” Rivera’s reported attempt to apologize to Gaete was rejected.
I’ll start with this: Bijan Robinson is a hell of a football player. I had him as the second-best player in this year’s NFL Draft. But for the Atlanta Falcons to take him with the 8th overall pick is a terrible decision.
The thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that just because someone is the “best player available” doesn’t make them the best player for your team. Running backs are a luxury item in the NFL Draft. So is tight end. Those are the two riskiest positions to draft in the first round.
The Atlanta Falcons took Bijan Robinson at #8 this year.
Following a tumultuous offseason and pre-draft process, former Georgia standout Jalen Carter has a new football home: Philadelphia.
The Eagles selected Carter, a defensive tackle, with the No. 9 pick, ending the brief slide of one of the most talented players in this year’s draft class.
Philadelphia traded with Chicago to move up one spot to select Carter, giving the Bears the No. 10 pick and a fourth-rounder in the deal.
Standing at 6’ 3” and weighing 314 pounds, Carter boasted the physical traits and sensational collegiate career that led many to believe he could be the No.
The Atlanta Falcons selected Texas running back Bijan Robinson with the eighth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He was sensational in his final two seasons in college, putting up a combined 2,707 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns. He also averaged close to six yards per attempt. Robinson can catch the ball out of the backfield, too, as he posted a combined 45 catches for 609 yards and six scores as a receiver.
Robinson is the complete backfield package, as he thrives as a runner, receiver and in pass protection.
Moments after the Texans selected C.J. Stroud at No. 2 in the 2023 NFL draft, Houston sent a rather a dazzling tweet letting the NFL world know how thrilled it was to pick the former Ohio State quarterback.
“IT WAS ALWAYS HIM 🤘,” the Texans tweeted after making their selection.
The message comes after Houston reportedly went back and forth for weeks deciding on whether the franchise would select a signal caller. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported earlier Thursday that the Texans were torn on whether to pick a quarterback or an edge rusher with the second pick.

The Athletic NBA reporter Shams Charania seems to rarely take a day off. He is on the record saying as such, telling GQ in the fall of 2020 that “there definitely have been instances where I’m out with friends and you have to take a call for 15–20 minutes and you come back and you definitely feel like there’s some angst.”
As it turns out, that work ethic includes not merely NBA banner days but red-letter days for other sports.
