Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer will hear his name called in one of the first two rounds of the NFL Draft on Thursday or Friday. It would be a shock if he did not get drafted with one of the first 31 picks.
Mayer, 21, was considered a first-round prospect to begin the 2022 season and has jumped into the projected Top 20 throughout the entire pre-draft process. He isn’t necessarily the biggest, strongest or fastest player at his position but he has the tape and numbers to back up the claim that he’s the best player at his position.
Presenting everything you need to know about the draft, which begins on Thursday.
Aaron Rodgers is a Jet.
The former Packers quarterback, who was finally traded to his new team on Monday, arrived at the Jets’ practice facility Wednesday morning and will be formally introduced at a 2 p.m. ET press conference.
The 39-year-old veteran QB showed up to his first day wearing a brand new New York hoodie and some aviator sunglasses.
While this trade was in the works for what felt like forever, it was still very jarring to see Rodgers wearing Jets gear.

An awkward situation emerged for those who worked at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Tuesday night when a glaring scheduling issue arose. Trae Young shocked the Celtics in Game 5 when he hit a game-winning three-pointer to send the Hawks back to Atlanta for a Game 6, but amid the excitement, it was noticed that State Farm Arena had double-booked the venue with a Janet Jackson concert originally scheduled for Thursday.
It was a nightmarish scenario, but quickly resolved when Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported that the concert would be delayed by one day.
The success of Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham skews the steep learning curve for college basketball players looking to catch on in the NFL.
While just about everyone in sports media is tabbing the New York Jets as legitimate Super Bowl contenders after officially acquiring Aaron Rodgers, one former NFL quarterback isn’t sold on Rodgers bringing immediate success to the franchise.

Bryce Young can solve almost any problem on the field
When you turn on Bryce Young’s film, it does not take long to find examples of him creating explosive plays. Both as a passer, and even a runner, Young’s ability to generate huge chunks of yardage for Alabama is a big reason why he is one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.
But it is the variety of ways he creates them which likely makes him a potential high-end starter in the NFL.
There were other faces walking the halls of the Las Colinas Resort in suburban Dallas than that of College Football Playoff executives and their bowl partners.
ESPN executives were also here Tuesday for a presentation before the CFP commissioner group during the organization’s spring meetings. And while this is an annual occurrence, ESPN’s presence is a reminder of maybe the most significant unresolved piece to the new expanded CFP: television rights.
The Suns knocked off the Clippers 136–130 in Game 5 on Tuesday night to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals and end Los Angeles’s season.
After the game, Russell Westbrook, who led the Clippers in points, assists and rebounds for the series, was reflective about his time with the team after being traded from the Lakers midseason.
“Once I got traded. Immediately, to be honest. From that moment, mentally, I was in a better place,” Westbrook said when asked about the weight lifted off his shoulders after the trade.
