What Kevin Stefanski said about new Falcons OT Jawaan Taylor

-
Kaleb McGary's retirement may have come as a surprise to those outside the building, but the Atlanta Falcons knew it was a possibility and had an answer ready , signing former Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor the same day. Taylor's contract is only a one-year deal , so we can't rule out the Falcons targeting a potential future franchise right tackle in the draft later this week. At least for now Taylor is the logical candidate to start opposite long-time left tackle Jake Matthews come Week 1. Asked about Atlanta's newest offensive lineman, head coach Kevin Stefanski had this to say at today's pre-draft press conference with general manager Ian Cunningham. "Really good cultural fit," said Stefanski. "Great person. You know, enjoyed my time when he came in and just getting to know him a little bit. But he will fit in great with that room, and like Ian mentioned, he's played on some good football team...

Several hundred young men will have their childhood dreams realized on Thursday, April 23, which kicks off the NFL Draft. The UNC football team doesn't have any top-ranked prospects for this year's Draft, but there's still a couple guys projected to play at the next level. Cornerbacks Marcus Allen and Thaddeus Dixon , two of North Carolina's top 2025 defenders, are both in USA TODAY Sports' 2026 NFL Mock Draft. Dixon is mocked 179th overall (sixth round) to the New York Jets , while Allen goes 242nd overall (seventh round), also to the New York Jets.

Colorado football offers top 2027 offensive tackle from Georgia

-
Colorado football finished spring camp, and now the recruiting season really gets going, and Deion Sanders's staff is busy handing out offers and landing commitments . On Tuesday, the Buffaloes extended an offer to 2027 four-star offensive tackle Kennedee Jackson. Jackson is a 6-foot-6, 297-pound prospect from Lithonia, Georgia. He holds 23 offers, most from top-level programs, including LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, USC and Texas Tech. 247Sports Composite ranks Jackson as the No. 133 overall prospect, the No. 16 offensive tackle and the No. 13 player from Georgia. In high school, Jackson played both offensive and defensive tackle as a full-time two-way player. The fact that Colorado, a big proponent of two-way talents, offered Jackson suggests that they would, at the very least, give Jackson a chance to play both sides of the ball in college. Truly blessed to receive an offer from @CUBuffsFootball #AGTG @RecruitGeorgia @50SportsCompany @ChadSimmons_ @LHS_Bulldog1 pic.tw...

Arsenal’s long-term target is interested in a move to Man Utd Nico Williams remains a long-term target for Arsenal , with the Gunners continuing to monitor his situation closely. However, there is now a strong possibility that the Spanish winger could join one of their direct rivals instead during the summer transfer window. Williams has established himself as one of the most exciting wide players in world football in recent seasons. His outstanding performances at Euro 2024 further enhanced his reputation and prompted serious interest from top European clubs, including Arsenal. Long-term Deal but Uncertain Future The Spaniard was also heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, with both clubs competing for his signature. Despite that interest, he opted to remain at Athletic Club and committed his future by signing a long-term contract that runs until the summer of 2035. While that agreement provides his current club with security, it does not entirely rule out a transfer. There r...
