The star wideout didn’t hold back, even on his own teammate.
The NFL adjusted its rules on jersey number restrictions ahead of the 2023 season, deciding Tuesday that players will be allowed to wear the No. 0 for the first time since 1973. 
Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley stepped up as the first to claim the number as his own, and now Dolphins star Tyreek Hill apparently is hoping that fellow Miami wideout Jaylen Waddle will be the next to follow suit.
Hill took to Twitter to troll his teammate about potentially swapping his jersey numbers with the No.

The Iowa guard used the WWE star’s signature gesture in the Hawkeyes’ latest win.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has been the star of the women’s NCAA tournament, highlighted by a 40-point triple-double on Sunday night against Louisville, the first of its kind in any NCAA tournament game. That stat line included eight three-pointers in 39 minutes of play, helping lead the Hawkeyes to a Final Four appearance.
The star guard obviously was feeling her success, as she celebrated her sixth three-pointer of the game with John Cena’s “you can’t see me” gesture.

Tannenbaum puts his GM hat back on and makes his own selections for each team in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Although the Detroit Lions had their first winning season in five years, they will pick sixth overall in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft after acquiring the Rams’ pick as part of the Matthew Stafford trade. They will also have the No. 18 pick, their own.
There are multiple positions at which Detroit could use an upgrade, but interior defensive line might be the most pressing issue that needs to be addressed. As things stand, the Lions have only Alim McNeill, Levi Onwuzurike and Demetrius Taylor under contract.

There are several players representing blue-blood programs, but it was a couple players outside of the top-ranked prospects who impressed scouts the most.

PHOENIX — NFL teams are having something of a numerals crisis now in that they have a bunch of players who want to wear single-digit numbers but there aren’t enough to go around. So the league on Tuesday addressed that by allowing players to wear No. 0 starting next season.
It’s one of 15 rules, bylaws and resolutions owners adopted Tuesday.
Oh, and before you ask, one change the league did not make was to the so-called quarterback push play.

Bronny James is 15 days away from his first opportunity to sign his National Letter of Intent and make his college decision official. The son of LeBron can sign at any date between April 12 and May 17.
James must announce his decision by May 17.
In the meantime, some of his prospective future teammates are hard at work to try and get him to join them. Especially Isaiah Collier.

Woody Johnson indicated New York has a “plan” regarding the trade.
The Jets and Packers are still trying to figure out the perfect recipe for an Aaron Rodgers trade. While Rodgers has expressed his desire to play in New York, the two sides have yet to work out a deal.
At the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday, Jets owner Woody Johnson indicated he’s still “pretty confident” a trade will get done. 
“We’re pretty confident we can get something done,” said Johnson via Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

The NFL recognizes that onside kicks are currently a problem. With the new kickoff rules where players cannot get a running start, onside kicks are very difficult to recover.
But the league wants teams that are trailing to have an opportunity to get the ball back after score. Of course they do because that increases drama and excitement. As fans, we want that too.
Last year, only 5% of onside kicks were recovered by the kicking team. There was a spike in 2021 where 16% of kicking teams recovered, but the prior season it was 4%.

Houston Roughnecks defensive back Ajene Harris leads the XFL in interceptions through six games of the first season of the league’s third reboot. He also leads the XFL in unsportsmanlike penalties for squirting an official with water from the sideline.

Seriously. That’s an actual thing that happened during Monday night’s game against the D.C. Defenders.
Late in the third quarter, as the Roughnecks faced a 15-point deficit, Harris may have let his frustration get the best of him.
