The Boston Celtics have built their teams in a number of ways over the decades, but few if any methods have born more fruit than through the NBA draft. The best players to suit up for the Celtics have, by and large, come to Boston either through being taken directly in the annual event, or via trades made that night.
And it is not just the top stars who have been picked up by the Celtics via the draft. Countless members of the storied ball club’s alumni have been taken by the team via that annual event, and some schools are better represented than others.
In the span of just 10 plays during Washington’s seventh spring practice, new Washington cornerback Emmanuel Karnley broke up three passes. Those three were en route to his seven total, unofficially, during April’s 15 practices. Karnley’s seven pass breakups were the second-most on the team during the spring, and it is just a small sample of the ways the Virginia transfer can make an impact on the Husky defense this fall.
“He’s like the sound vet that we need right now,” secondary coach John Richardson said of Karnley this spring.

The QB is the first player at his position to grace the cover of the annual football game since Josh Allen was on the cover of Madden 24 in 2024.

New York Giants offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is widely regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in the NFL.
Thomas was elite throughout the 2025 season, delivering a strong bounce-back campaign after an injury-plagued 2024. The veteran is expected to play a pivotal role on the Giants’ offensive line again this year and will enter the 2026 season fully healthy for the first time since 2023.
In a recent interview with Giants Wire at Brian Burns’ charity softball event, Thomas shared his favorite moment from the first six years of his NFL career.
The transfer portal has become an integral part of roster-building in college sports, particularly in football. The de facto free agency system allows programs to rebuild their rosters on the fly, allowing teams to reload over the course of an offseason rather than the years it usually takes to develop through recruiting.
The Florida Gators are in the midst of a teardown after the departure of Billy Napier and the hiring of Jon Sumrall to take his place.
Manchester United’s priority this summer was always going to be central midfield. It was an area they’d hoped to strengthen last year. Casemiro’s departure combined with question marks over Manuel Ugarte’s Old Trafford future means they need to rectify a somewhat problem position sooner rather than later.
And with the 2026 World Cup a week away, United are closing in on their first midfield signing.
