Levis has long been viewed as a lock to go in the first round, but conventional thinking for weeks has Bryce Young as the first player off the board to the Panthers.

For the second game in a row, Dillon Brooks refused to talk to media members after a Grizzlies loss to the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. But be fair, he did say one thing to them. 
“I’m out,” Brooks said Monday night after a 117–111 overtime loss in Game 4, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.

Amid the Rodgers trade, an old quote from Wilson resurfaced about giving the quarterback who is competing for the starting job “hell.” It is unlikely that there would even be a competition for the starting quarterback position once training camp opens up, but Wilson seemed driven to give it all he has after the 2022 season did not go right for the Jets.
