The New England Patriots might have drafted the most confident incoming rookie in the form of Javon Baker, but he also could work on his interview skills.
With the 110th pick (fourth round) of the draft, the Patriots chose the 22-year-old wide receiver from the UCF Golden Knights. He’s the second wide receiver along with Washington Huskies standout Ja’Lynn Polk that will call Foxborough his first NFL home in the fall. The Patriots were wise to invest so heavily in wide receiver talent, since they currently have very little at that spot.

Spencer Rattler doesn’t have be a superhero to be a solid NFL QB for the New Orleans Saints.
We’ve talked ad nauseam about the top four QBs in the 2024 NFL Draft. As the draft rolls through Day 3, it’s time to focus on some of the other guys at the position outside of the biggest names.
Oregon’s Bo Nix (drafted by the Broncos) and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. (selected by the Falcons at No. 8 in a stunning move) have been considered in the next tier after Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and J.J. McCarthy.
Once looking like a first-round pick, the QB was picked in the fifth round in what turned out to be the longest wait between quarterback picks in draft history.

Australian Cam Smith is in the mix in Adelaide and has his sights set on winning a LIV Golf title in his native country.
Cam Smith had one of the better rounds of the day on Saturday at LIV Golf Adelaide, making seven birdies and 11 pars to shoot a clean 7-under 65.
That, coupled with an opening round 4-under 68, has him sitting at 11-under par, four strokes behind leader Brandan Steele, with one round to play.
“It was a good day,” Smith assessed.
Joel Embiid is lucky he never had to play against Charles Oakley. Because the New York Knicks legend would never have put up with his antics.
Embiid was issued a flagrant one during Thursday’s Game 3 between the Philadelphia 76ers and Knicks. While Embiid was on the ground, he grabbed and pulled Mitchell Robinson’s leg. Robinson left the game, as his injured ankle flared up after the incident.
A scuffle ensued, with players like Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby getting in Embiid’s face.
Michigan Wolverines linebacker Junior Colson wore Maze n’ Blue uniforms in college. Thanks to his former coach Jim Harbaugh, he’ll be wearing a similar color scheme in the NFL.
The Los Angeles Chargers needed a lot of help retooling their defense, which ranked 28th in total defense last season. With a core of aging and sometimes injury-prone stars holding up that side of the ball, they looked to the draft class for reinforcements.
When the third round came on Friday, Colson was still on the board.

Former NFL quarterback and current UAB head coach Trent Dilfer joined OutKick’s “Hot Mic” to share his thoughts on the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, with some counter-consensus views on the most controversial pick.
After investing $100 million to bring Kirk Cousins to Atlanta from the Minnesota Vikings this offseason, the Falcons made the splash of the draft by picking former Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. eighth overall. Many, including Clay Travis, thought the pick was bewildering, to say the least.

The 2023 season saw the Detroit Lions win their division for the first time in 30 years (when their division was known as the NFC Central), and win a playoff game for the first time in just as long.
