Oklahoma edge R Mason Thomas devours former Alabama QB Jalen Milroe.

Hyping TE Kenyon Sadiq.
NFL Network’s stats queen Cynthia Frelund believes if you like Vernon Davis as a tight end or if you like Trey McBride, then you will like Kenyon Sadiq. (more…)
Center Graham Barton said the Bucs’ offense can play at a higher level if the starting offensive linemen can stay healthy.
The Bucs’ offensive line last year was a mess. That’s likely because the Bucs never had one game in which the preseason starting-five actually started. (more…)
