[podcast] The first Mock Draft 2025
Lamar Jackson lost weight (again)
Even MVPs go on diets sometimes. Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens) has resumed training, and he is finer. On Thursday, he did not give a figure to the press, but he confirmed that it is voluntary.
“I don’t really know how much I weigh. I weigh around 90 kilos. But I would just say that it was quite important to be able to move a little more, that’s all. […] Just being more agile and being able to move more. »
An ever faster Jackson? A few weeks ago, he spoke of a weight of 92 kilos, around ten less than two years ago, and around 4 kilos less than last year.
In 2023, Lamar Jackson gained 5.5 yards per carry. It was the best average in the league, but his lowest career performance. Same thing for runs of more than 20 yards, which he only managed four times, again his lowest career total.
Deshaun Watson is himself again (or not)
A Houston, Deshaun Watson (QB, Browns) was one of the most enjoyable quarterbacks to watch play. And then the legal setbacks. And then a trade to the Cleveland Browns with an astronomical contract but performances far from up to par. And then a shoulder injury which kept him sidelined for much of last season. However, his trainer Kevin Stefanski remain optimistic.
“He seems like himself again.” I’ve seen him throw the last few weeks, he’s made great progress. I’m letting the medical team take care of his situation, but he seems to have regained his abilities,” Stefanski said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Specifically, Watson did not throw the ball on Wednesday, after having done so on Tuesday. He is therefore not fully recovered from his injury. Stefanski is perhaps putting the cart before the horse a little.
Injuries
– Victim of a shoulder injury which ended his 2023 season, Anthony Richardson (QB, Colts) returned to collective training for the first time in recent days.
– Hit in the ankle, Bijan Robinson (RB, Falcons) hasn’t trained since the start of the offseason. But he should be back in June. In any case, this is what Raheem Morris, his coach, explained to the press on Tuesday.
– Michael Pittman (WR, Colts) hit his knee with defenders on Wednesday and was on the ground for a bit. He got up limping. Shane Steichen did not give further details, but assured that his receiver should be healthy for the future. (FOX59)
– Zach Tom (OL, Packers) et Tucker Kraft (TE) tore their pecs lifting weights for the offseason. According to Matt LaFleur, both players plan to be back for the start of the regular season. (Sports Illustrated)
– Absent all of last season, Stetson Bennett (QB, Rams) is back in training. As a reminder, Jimmy Garoppolo, Matthew Stafford’s current understudy, will be suspended for the first two games of the season. (official)
– Affected anterior cruciate ligament, Keonte Mitchell (RB, Ravens) is not out of the woods yet. John Harbaugh (HC) indicated that the second-year player would not return until the middle of the 2024 season.
Transactions
– Discussions between Matt Stafford (QB) and the Rams for a new contract continues. The player, who has two years left on his contract, wants more guaranteed money on his salary. (The Athletic)
The main signatures of the day: Alex Bachman (WR, Raiders)
And bref
– Not everything is decided on merit on television. Tom Brady will arrive on FOX thanks to his name and his career before having proven himself on the microphone. He will replace Greg Olsen. Ironically, on Tuesday, Olsen received the Emmy Award for Best Sports Consultant. Last year, he already won an Emmy Award.
– Tom Brady is not yet a minority owner of the Raiders, but things are moving forward. This is what Roger Goodell explained to the press on Wednesday. “ We had several meetings. The league financial committee has done its job, but we still have a little more to do“said Goodell. One of the problems is in particular the conflict between the new role of number 1 consultant for FOX and the fact of having shares in a franchise. A position that could provide access to information on other teams in the preparation of broadcasts.
– 18 games per season is not now. While he had launched the idea on the sidelines of the Draft, Roger Goodell calmed things down on Wednesday in front of the press. “ I wasn’t talking about something we actively think about. We think about it for the long term“, he assured.
Malik Nabers not a fan of the Giants jersey
Malik Nabers (WR, Giants) is what we call “a good client” for journalists. Asked by Sports Illustrated about his team’s new retro jersey, the rookie did not hide his embarrassment.
“It’s going to be hard to get swag with it. »
Dak Prescott (Cowboys): “I don’t play for money”
Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys) is playing the final year of a 4-year, $160 million contract. During his career, he earned 196 million greenbacks. He is therefore in no hurry to sign his contract extension.
“I don’t play for money. Honestly, I never gave a damn,” Prescott told ESPN on Wednesday. “I could play without taking any money. So I let the people who run the business say how much I’m worth, what they’re supposed to give to a quarterback and a leader like me. I control what I can control and let the rest take care of itself. »
Patrick Mahomes ready to help Rashee Rice
Rashee Rice (WR, Chiefs) is no longer accused of assault but he still faces several charges following the accident he caused while racing on the highway in Dallas. If one could think that such conduct could cost him dearly with the Chiefs, two-time Super Bowl title holders, the young receiver can count on the support of his star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“We all want to help him learn from his mistakes. We will do everything we can to get him back on the right path so that he can be a great football player but above all a better person,” Mahomes said at a press conference.
