With three weeks until the NFL Draft we have a little more insight into what might happen. It’s not a solid picture, but more like a jello picture — one with a little wiggle, but we can understand the basic form of the thing.
A lot has changed since the pre-draft process began in earnest at the NFL Scouting Combine. Today we’re diving in to the players whose stock has drastically gone up or down, because nobody at all in the world is talking about stocks right now.

Spring practice is underway at Auburn, and it’s time to preview another position group ahead of A-Day, which will take place on Saturday, April 12 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The next position group that we will examine in our spring breakdown series is the offensive line, which will feature many fresh faces. The Tigers return a few familiar names from the 2024 team, and will welcome two new players from the transfer portal. Tackle Percy Lewis left the team after the season and is now an Ole Miss Rebel.

When Walter Clayton Jr. backpedaled, passing up a layup for the go-ahead 3-pointer to give Florida basketball the lead at long last, all Terrence McGriff saw around him at the Chase Center in San Francisco were smiles and cheers of relief.
Yet, the only emotion the Bartow basketball head coach could register was tears. Those emotions came from knowing how hard Clayton worked to reach this moment.
Four years ago, Clayton held just one Division I offer from an in-state school.

To celebrate the season’s first major championship, Golf Pride has released a limited-edition collection of full swing and putter grips, Honorary Starter.
Adorned in vibrant green and trimmed with pink azaleas, the Honorary Starter Tour Velvet grips will feel and perform like the standard Tour Velvet grips, which are among the most popular in the game, but give your clubs a jolt of early-season style.

Twenty-one days until the NFL Draft. Zero definitive clarity on what’s going to happen. And stepping into the spotlight again on Friday’s Colorado pro day, two of the main culprits of confusion: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter.
For a league that continually tries to engineer and sustain as much draft suspense as possible, the top of this year’s class has been an endless gift to the NFL. So much so, two of the potential top four picks can still dramatically impact the top of the board this week.

There are some questions around how this prospect fits into Jacksonville’s offensive line, but there’s no question about his potential.
The Jacksonville Jaguars ended the 2024 season with a 4-13 record that was spurred on by a regressing offense and a defense that ranked 31st in total yards allowed. This is a franchise that needs help on both sides of the ball despite having some talented players on either side.
The Jags could go in a number of directions here. Michigan’s Mason Graham is the best defensive player left on the board.

The Final Four is set. But who has the best players out of South Carolina, UConn, Texas and UCLA?
The winner of the national championship is often decided by who has the best player — or players — at the Final Four. While some could make the case that Iowa’s Caitlin Clark was the top player last year in Cleveland, Ohio, nobody could stop South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso as she piled up 37 points, 28 rebounds and five blocks in two victories.

Could a title fight be in the cards for George Russell?
On paper, 2025 looked to be a transition year for Mercedes.
The Formula 1 team saw one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport leave at the end of the 2024 campaign, with Lewis Hamilton departing for Ferrari. Toto Wolff and company tapped young Kimi Antonelli to drive alongside George Russell for the 2025 season, and with both drivers on contracts set to expire at the end of the current campaign, the specter of the driver transfer market is always looming.

The teenage son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner died of carbon monoxide poisoning while the family was on vacation last month in Costa Rica, according to a toxicology report.
Questions have swirled around 14-year-old Miller’s tragic death, with initial reports suggesting possible food poisoning. On Wednesday, the Judicial Investigation Agency of Costa Rica announced that the boy had passed away due to high levels of carbon monoxide in his system.

The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA — the league that would become today’s NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
