The Commanders' D, with Sonny Styles, will be one thing for sure next season — fast
ASHBURN, Va. — The seam route, I think, was front of mind for the Commanders going into the NFL Draft.How many times last season did Washington’s back seven flail at tight ends and wide receivers from around the globe who blew past its linebackers and DBs for chunk play after chunk play down the middle of the field? Actually, it wasn’t just the seam routes: Corner routes were open, too. So were wheel routes down the sidelines, and choice routes out of the backfield, and crossing routes over the...

How Anthony Cirelli pushed himself to become the perfect teammate with the Lightning
Anthony Cirelli comes across as low-key and reserved in front of the cameras, but don’t let that fool you.“He’s kind of a goofball,” former Tampa Bay Lightning teammate Tyler Johnson told The Athletic. “He says some things that you’re just like, ‘What the heck is that? Why are you talking like that?’ But that’s just how he is. He’s so much fun to be around.”For example?Advertisement
NFL Draft 2026 best available players for Minnesota Vikings: De'Zhaun Stribling, Logan Jones
The Minnesota Vikings began with a defensive bang. The selection of Caleb Banks at No. 18 likely means the team will have its eyes set on offense on Day 2.Minnesota wanted to emerge from the 2026 NFL Draft with a receiver to add depth behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, so that’s a sensible place to start. Center is another possibility, especially in Rounds 2 and 3. The Vikings have faith in Blake Brandel, but they’d like to find another starting-caliber option.Advertisement

By drafting WR Makai Lemon, Philadelphia Eagles signal plans for post-A.J. Brown world
PHILADELPHIA — The conversation in Philadelphia every day this offseason has seemed to focus on A.J. Brown.

They gave up two fourth-round picks to move up from No. 23 pick to No. 20 to secure Lemon, who appeared...
With belief in his process, Spencer Torkelson finds power at just the right time
DETROIT — Spencer Torkelson knows timing is everything.Squaring up fastballs, getting his foot down and letting his power play have been either his most potent strength or his most glaring weakness as a hitter.Early in his career, he navigated exhilarating peaks and fierce valleys. Torkelson lost battles in the strike zone, fouled off pitches he should have been driving and generally struggled with the rhythm needed to be a premium slugger in the major leagues. In 2024, he had only a .311 sluggi...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As Dan Morgan pointed out last week, the NFL doesn’t have a rule prohibiting teams from drafting wide receivers in the first round three years in a row.There’s nothing keeping general managers from taking an offensive lineman for the first time, either.With three first-round-caliber wide receivers still on the board, including yards-after-catch machines KC Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr., the Carolina Panthers’ general manager opted against another playmaker with the 19th p...
