Michigan football has had a few changes of the guard in recent years, first with Jim Harbaugh departing Ann Arbor for the NFL, and then with Sherrone Moore being fired in mid-December last year. Now, it's the Kyle Whittingham show, after the tenured head coach spent decades at Utah, building upon Urban Meyer's foundation to make the Utes one of the best programs in the country. For outgoing players like Rayshaun Benny, it's interesting, to say the least, to see so many changes in the program. Speaking with reporters at the NFL scouting combine, Benny doesn't know Whittingham, but with what he knows of him, he's sure that he will lead the Wolverines back to glory after a few years in the proverbial wilderness. "I don't really know," Benny said. "I was about to say I got full faith in him. I know Utah wasn't a historically good football program, but I know he was able to accomplish that. I believe he'll have more success at Michigan....

If you’re a regular reader of Blogging The Boys , you’re probably familiar with a metric called Approximate Value. If not, consider this post your introduction. We’ve used Approximate Value (AV) and the closely related Weighted Approximate Value (wAV) on and off for more than a decade, and particularly often during our draft coverage. As we ramp up our draft coverage again this year, we’ll likely feature the metric repeatedly. So, in order to get everybody on the same page, we’ll use this post as a detailed introduction to AV. ” Approximate Value ” was developed by Doug Drinen at Pro-Football-Reference.com and is designed to assign a specific value to any player at any position for any given year. The algorithm behind AV weights position-specific metrics (i.e. yards or points scored/allowed) with an indicator for durability (total games played and seasons as their team’s primary starter) and quality (Pro Bowl and All Pro nominations) and then normalizes all this at a team level. Dri...

(Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images) | Getty Images Newcastle United are preparing for another busy summer window as they look to build on domestic progress and, hopefully, a deep Champions League run. Several key players have drawn attention from rival Premier League clubs during the past few months, and according to TEAMtalk , Newcastle have made it clear that Anthony Gordon will not leave unless an “extraordinary offer” is submitted. The club’s stance comes amid reported interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, with the Reds having already tried to snatch the former Liverpool academy player and Everton winger from Tyneside. Gordon has become one of Newcastle’s most productive attacking players this season, particularly in European competition. The En...

Browns' NFL Scouting Combine rumor is bad news for Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The NFL Scouting Combine is a great opportunity to gauge interest in top players in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. Teams can use it to evaluate talent and also interview players they have an interest in. For the Cleveland Browns , the wide receivers and offensive linemen will be clear players of interest. But, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic , there is another position the Browns will be taking a look at in Indianapolis. Jackson notes that the Browns are expected to scout quarterbacks at the NFL Combine, not just in the form of prospects, but also to evaluate trade options.

MADRID, SPAIN - FEBRUARY 12: Alejandro Balde of FC Barcelona looks on during the Copa Del Rey match between Atletico de Madrid and FC Barcelona at Estadio Metropolitano on February 12, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Maciej Rogowski/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images) | Getty Images Alejandro Balde’s season has hit a few bumps but there is a lot of interest from big-name teams in his transfer. After reports in England linked him with a move to Manchester United, fresh claims out of Italy say Inter are also watching the FC Barcelona full back ahead of the summer window. According to 365 Scores , Inter are considering whether to position themselves for a potential move. They already have Federico Dimarco, a highly-rated left-back, but with his contract running until 2027 and some uncertainty about what comes next, the Italian side are exploring alternatives. Balde is an appealing option: quick, direct, and still only 22. Hansi Flick has used Balde 32 times in all competitions this s...
