Chris Godwin, in his third NFL season at age 24, has emerged as one of the league's elite wide receivers. He made his first Pro Bowl in 2019, with 86 catches for 1,333 yards and nine TDs in only 14 games.Godwin will look to build on that breakout year in 2020, now with Tom Brady as his quarterback. With Brady's arrival, Godwin did have to give up Riley Dixon Jersey his No. 12 jersey for No. 14, but getting the GOAT to throw him the ball in return was a fair trade.Sporting News talked to Godwin about the arrival of Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay, the departure of Jameis Winston and how he's getting used tonew jersey swaps in the time of COVID-19:MORE: | 'SN: When you first startedworking with Tom Brady as your new quarterback, what were your first impre sions?Godwin:It surprised me the most just how humble he was. Knowing he's the GOAT with the six Super bowl rings and all hisaccolades, you expecthim to carryhimself in a certain way. But he came in working hard the way he's always done andhas remained true to working to earn our trust.SN: How has it been adding Rob Gronkowski to the mix of your established talented receiverssuch as you, Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, Scotty Miller and Cameron Brate?Godwin. It has been definitely interesting having Gronk on the team. He is exactly who he is, and asgoofy as he is, he is such a smart guy. He'sexcited to be back playing ball and is an exciting complement to us.SN: Can you feel that Tom and Rob's many years of experience have already had a big effect on the team?Godwin: They've been Andrew Thomas Jersey as beneficial as we expected. Throughout the course of the year, in certainsituations, experience is the best thingyou can have to go off.We have a good mix ofolder and young guys. They can feed well off each other.SN: The first game with Tom wasn't the desired team result in Week 1, but what were the positive takeaways, despite the turnovers and lo s?Godwin: We still made a lot of good plays and we had some good connections all over the field.Therunning game was there. We have some really good stuff to build on for our upcoming games.SN: Do you feel likethe offense has a lot more upside this season as compared to last season?Godwin: We definitely have more playmakers and depth everywhere. The coaching staff can get a lot more creative with that. We can go three wide receivers, three tight ends or three running backs, and be effective through different personnel. There areendle s po sibilities to Kadarius Toney T Shirts position ourselves to be succe sful.SN: Watching you, you are one of the NFL's mosttechnically sound wide receivers when it comes to running routes and using your hands. How have you developed those skills so well, so fast?Godwin: I paidclose attention to detail when I got to college (at Penn State). Our coaching staffwas high on the technique of playing receiver, minding all the p's and q's. Those fundamentals were a strong base for me going forward. Getting into the league I'm just building on what I learned in college. I work on honing those skills one percent more each day.SN: You had your first big season with Jameis Winston. How did you feel when the Bucs decided they would go in a different direction at quarterback?Godwin: It was a bittersweet situation with Tom coming in. I had a good relationship with Jameis and I'm a big fanof his and what he can do. It's just part of thisbusine s. The team and Jameis split ways, but I still have a lot of love for him.SN: Because of COVID-19, NFL playerscan't swap Kadarius Toney Jersey jerseys with opponents the way they did before 2020. Can youtell me about the Tide Hygienic Clean Jersey Swap and how it works?Godwin: Itmakes it po sible againfrom a playersperspective. It's really dope that something you enjoy isn't taken away. Now we canpair up in a Lawrence Taylor Hoodies Sweatshirts way that everyone feels safe doing it. It's efficient, too. Instead of taking yourjersey and pads off on the field, youtake them into the locker room and personalize them there.Our equipment guys then take care of the rest, making sure we make our swap.SN: If you could swap jerseys with any former NFL player, who would it be?Godwin: As a receiver,it has to be Calvin Johnson orRandy Mo s,two of the guys who meant a lot to me growing up.SN: Because you switched jerseys from No. 12 to No. 14, do you haveto jersey-swap with everyone you have already swapped with again?Godwin: That's a good point. Hit me up and we'll figure out something, I'm sure.

vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:23
Jets coach Adam Gase was happy for his players after the team finally recorded its first win of the 2020 NFL season Sunday.The Jets stunned the Rams 23- Dorian Etheridge Jersey 20 at SoFi Stadium, becoming the first winle s team in NFL history to beat a nine-plus win team on the road.NFL DRAFT: | The result, Mike Pennel Jersey however, means they no longer hold the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and thatmay cost them Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.Gase was focused on his current roster after a breakthrough victory.MORE: "I'm just happy for our guys.

The first regular season field goal Jon Brown ever attempted
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:22
The first regular season field goal Jon Brown ever attempted was in an NFL game. Naturally, he drilled it.The Jaguars signed Brown as their fifth kicker through six weeks in the 2020 NFL season, and the converted soccer player made good on his first try Sunday, a 31-yard attempt. Brown, who later mi sed a32-yarder, began his college career as a Kentucky soccer player before doing kickoffs at Louisville."I wouldn'tchange a thing," ."I'm glad I didn't kick a field goal in college. It makes it that much sweeter."Here's what Jimmy Garoppolo T Shirts you need to know about the Jaguars' newest kicker.MORE: 1. Jon Brown was a good soccer playerBrown scored in three high school soccer seasons. That was enough to earn him a chance with the United States' U-17 national team, along with earning the soccer scholarship to the University of Kentucky. Brown still went by 'Jonathan' then.As a freshman for the Wildcats, Brown started four games and recorded two shots on goal. But it was after that first season that the Frank Gore Jersey high school wide receiver and kick returner decided he wanted to give football another try.2. He transferred to Louisville as a soccer player who'd never kickedBrown continued to play soccer once he'd transferred to Louisville. In his final collegiate soccer game, he a sisted on a goal for the Cardinals against CSU Bakersfield.After leaving the soccer team, Brown began working with Brett Baer on his kicking, . Baer had kicked briefly for the St. Louis Rams. When Baer saw Brown's first kick, he was amazed."I was like, 'Holy crap, man,'" . "He just crushed it. Just the most powerful kick that I've ever seen, the way the ball exploded off his foot."3. A college kickoff specialistA highlight tape Brown sent to the Louisville coaching staff before his junior season earned him a summer tryout. The Cardinals had a proven field-goal kicker named John Wallace, so Brown had to find work Dwight Clark T Shirts where he could get it on the kickoff team.As a junior, Brown kicked off seven times. Then he had one more kickoff as a senior before an oblique injury ended his season. His application for a medical redshirt was denied, ending Brown's college career after eight kickoffs and no field goal attempts.4. The Bengals gave Jon Brown his shotBrown kicked at Jerry Rice Hoodies Sweatshirts Louisville's Pro Day in 2016 and caught Cincinnati's attention. They invited him to rookie minicamp, and while he didn't make the roster in 2016 or 2017, he got to kick for the Bengals during the 2018 preseason. That included him .Randy Bullock maintained the job with Cincinnati in 2018, though. Brown got an offseason chance with the 49ers in 2019 but didn't make the team. The Jaguars signed Brown last December and then waived him in April before bringing him back onto the practice squad and activating him for Week 6.5. The answer to Deebo Samuel Hoodies Sweatshirts the Jaguars' kicking woes?Jacksonville had its long-term kicker, Josh Lambo, after the way he's kicked since 2017.Lambo, another converted soccer player, entered 2020 as the unquestioned starter. But a left hip injury to Lambo left Jacksonville scrambling for kickers.Before Brown, the Jags already played Lambo, Aldrick Rosas, Stephen Hauschka and Brandon Wright. Only after moving on from each of those four did the Jaguars bring in Brown. He could be discarded whenever Lambo returns from Injured Reserve. But Brown will now have at least one NFL field goal under his belt.

The San Francisco 49ers, which usually are really the Santa
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:21
The San Francisco 49ers, which usually are really the Santa Clara 49ers, are for the next few weeks the Arizona 49ers.Confused yet? The 49ers aren't allowed to play in Santa Clara County, the home of Levi's Stadium, through at Bud Dupree Jersey least Week 14 due to COVID-19. That means scheduled home games against the Bills and Washington Football Team needed a new host, and it'll be State Farm Stadium, the Glendale home of the Arizona Cardinals, as the temporary home venue.Besides the general oddity of an NFL team playing its home games in an entirely different state, there's plenty of irony to this move, too. If you like being a cynic, keep reading.MORE: COVID-19 rates in ArizonaThe 49ers couldn't play in Santa Clara County because of an order banning local contact sports for three weeks due to rising COVID-19 rates locally. That seems logical, until you consider the COVID-19 rates in Maricopa County, where State Farm Stadium is located.In the , Santa Clara County had 19.1 new cases per 100,000 people. That number was 50.1/100K in Maricopa County. Maricopa County has also seen more than eight times the COVID-19 fatalities than Santa Clara County during the course of the pandemic.The flip side of this A.J. Moore Jr. Jersey coin is that the 49ers likely wouldn't have been spending much time outside of team-sanctioned activities no matter where they were playing due to the pandemic taking hold acro s the country. But it's definitely ironic that the 49ers were forced to move because of rules Mekhi Sargent Jersey combating COVID-19, and they settled ona place where COVID-19 has an even stronger hold.49ers' home-road splitsMaybe moving away from Levi's Stadium for a few weeks isn't such a bad thing for the 49ers, though.In five games played at home this season entering Week 13, the 49ers are 1-4. In four games played on the road, they're 4-2. And yes, the two games hosted by San Francisco at State Farm Stadium will technically count as home games, but maybe there's a Levi's Stadium curse the 49ers won't have to contend with.No fans either wayWhile Arizona was allowing fans at NFL games earlier this season, the Cardinals' most recent home game on Sunday, Dec. 6, wasn't allowed to feature fans due to the rising COVID-19 levels. There'll again be empty stands when the 49ers Briley Moore Jersey play the Bills on Monday night.That would've been the case if San Francisco was still playing in Santa Clara County, too, where fans haven't been allowed all season.If no one is there to see the 49ers play in Arizona, did they even really play in Arizona?Stadium color schemesAt least those watching on television won't A J Brown T Shirts be totally thrown off by the stadium color scheme. The Cardinals and 49ers aren't exactly the same shade of red, but it's close enough that the empty red seats around the stadium won't feel totally out of place.The crew in Arizona does appear to have put up some 49ers signage, at least.Im already grumpy now this Lisa Matthews (@LisaMatthewsAZ) The Cardinals also played Sunday's home game with an NFL logo at midfield rather than the usual Cardinal logo, apparently due to the presence of the 49ers, too. Wouldn't want to forget who's in charge as teams pound the run near the 50, after all.

The Cowboys pulled out lots of trick plays in their 23-9 los
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:20
The Cowboys pulled out lots of Pittsburgh Steelers Hats trick plays in their 23-9 lo s to the Eagles on"Sunday Night Football," but the weirdest sequence of plays came late in the fourth quarter and were a perfect representation of the NFC East this season.Down by 12 points withthe balland facing a fourth-and-17 at its 16, Dallas (2-6) elected to take a delay of game penalty and then snap the ball out the back of the end zone while in punt formation, resulting in a safety. That made it a 14-point deficit still a two-po se sion game with 3:55to play and gave the Cowboys Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodies Sweatshirts a chance to recover an onside free kick from their 20.I'm sure the Cowboys taking this safety didn't hurt any live bettors.. Bet The Pigskin (@betthepigskin) MORE: Then it got even weirder. Kicker Greg Zuerlein, who was the lone offense for Dallas on the night with three field goals, lofteda shallow punt, leading to a huge dogpile. Philadelphia (3-4-1) came out with the ball, but it was still a pretty clever idea and nearly paid Ben Roethlisberger Jersey off.Cowboys didn't get the ball, but this kick was brilliant on NBC The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Fans loved it.

First-rounders are the marquee attractions in a given NFL dr
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:19
First-rounders are the marquee attractions in a given NFL draft. But the Randall Cunningham Jersey teams that consistently ace their annual selections excel at winning the middle and late rounds.That means picking undervalued prospects on Days 2 and 3. Some call them sleepers, some call them steals, but in the end, these are the players who will deliver the biggest returnsbased on where they were drafted into the league.Here are the 10 best hidden gems of the , one from each primary offensive and defensive position:MORE NFL DRAFT: | 2021 NFL Draft sleepersQuarterback: Kellen Mond, Texas A&M (6-3, 211 pounds)Mond is the ideal untapped prospect because he has solid physical tools as a runner and pa ser and has shown steady development as an experienced college starter so far. He has the arm, athleticismand confidence as a strong baseline and needs help growing with his accuracy and efficiency. With the right coaching, he can go from promising young backup to viable starter.Running back: Rhamondre Stevenson, Oklahoma (6-0, 231 pounds)Stevenson stands out with his strong running and carries extra burst with his hard-charging downhill style. He also does the little things well and is growing in pa s protection. Although his receiving sills and open-field explosivene s are limited, he can deliver well with power with the support of a solid blocking system.Wide receiver: Chatarius "Tutu" Atwell, Louisville (5-9, 155 pounds)Atwell is a speed merchant out of the slot and one of the more underrated big-play threats in the cla s. He does have a small frame, but if used as a right change of pace receiving and running, he can Tyler Conklin Jersey make a lot of explosive plays. For teams interested in Purdue's Rondale Moore earlier, Atwell can provide the same juice later with some Tyreek Hill traits on the field.Tight end: Tommy Tremble, Notre Dame (6-3, 241 pounds)Beyond the intimidating last name, Tremble is another strong prospect out of the Fighting Irish's pro tight end tradition under Brian Kelly. He can excel lining up in multiple places as a blocker and has plenty of potential as an athletic receiver. With some good coaching to shore up his hands and route-running, Tremble can develop into a well-rounded starter.Offensive tackle: James Hudson, Cincinnati (6-5, 313 pounds)Hudson has incredible athleticism one can't teach for his size. He gets around everywhere as a pa s protector and run blocker, schooling le s agile a signments. He is limited in Myron Mitchell Jersey experience, which ties into needing work on his hands, feet and overall technique. He should be a willing student to put everything together to eventually grow into a starting-caliber tackle.Guard/center: Jack Anderson, Texas Tech (6-5, 314 pounds)Anderson has an interesting blend of quick feet and tough hands to love his potential as a nasty run blocker moving players out of the way. He also needs to be refined and understand how to better use his body and natural athleticism to his advantage.Defensive tackle: Alim McNeill, NC State (6-2, 317 pounds)File McNeill under another lineman with impre sive size and sttrength with great agility to match. His high-level athleticism translated into fineinterior pa s-rush production. He needs to get more consistent overall and more reliable against the run, but he can be disruptive in pre sure situations right away.Edge rusher: Dayo Odeyingbo, Vanderbilt (6-5, 285 pounds)Odeyingbo looks the part with his size and some freakish qualities. Teams discounting him coming off a Minnesota Vikings Sleepwear Underwear torn Achilles' will be pa sing on someone with upside to rack up sacks in pre sure situations. He can really get to the quarterback from many angles with a variety of moves. Odeyingbojust needs to be coached to have more substance to go with the flash to be trusted with regular snaps.Linebacker: Monty Rice, Georgia (6-0, 233 pounds)Rice is the cla sic middle-round high-effort linebacker. He's not going to blow away teams with traditional flat-out speed and quickne s, but he relies on his smarts snd savvy to make a ton of plays. He's got a fundamentally sound base and his instincts, recognition and leadership skills are welcome intangibles for a defense and special teams unit.Cornerback: Aaron Robinson, UCF (6-0, 186 pounds)Robinson has the size and enough speed to be a top-flight slot corner. He's not the speediest to stay with receivers downfield outside, but his quick feet are ideal for covering the inside well for a long time.Safety: Talanoa Hufanga, USC (6-0, Kellen Mond Jersey 199 pounds)Hufanga has great size to be an extra linebacker from the position with his thumping, powerful style. He has good range as a tackler and gets around the field to make a lot of plays. He also is active enough toimprove his work in pa s defense.

vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:19
Walter Jones Jersey Despite a series of self-inflicted blows, the Chiefs got back to .500 on Monday night with a 20-17 win over the Giants at Arrowhead Stadium.Patrick Mahomes was 29 for 48 for 275 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The interception was his league-leading 10th, and he would have thrown another if not for an offside penalty against the Giants that nullified it. He came into the game as the Chiefs' leading rusher but carried just three times for 10 yards Monday.Tyreek Hill had 12 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown, while Travis Kelce was targeted just seven times and had just 27 receiving yards to go with a costly fumble. Running back Derrick Gore notched his first career rushing touchdownon a solid night for the Chiefs' ground game (107 yards).The Chiefs (4-4) came out with the win even though they were just 5 of 12 on third down, averaged just 4.8 yards per play and, most notably, were penalized 12 times for 103 yards.MORE: New York QB Daniel Jones meanwhile, completed 22 of 32 pa ses for 222 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. The Giants dealt with numerous injuries to skill position players before and during the game, but Jones still targeted nine different receivers.The Giants (2-6) managed just 300 yards of total offense and had just 18 first downs, including five by penalty.The win moves Kansas City into a third-place tie with the Broncos in the AFC West.

49ers fans waiting for the return of the "Trey Area" may hav
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:18
49ers fans waiting for the return of the "Trey Area" may have to wait a little longer.The 49ers sending away two future first-round picks for the No. 3 overall pick for, Deonte Harris Jersey what turned out to be, Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft meant that the future was now. Or later. Or, apparently, eventually.Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers have maintained that the best way to develop their prized QB prospect is to keep him on the bench, a strategy that may or may not work out long-term for them.With Jimmy Garoppolo still a serviceable starter for San Francisco, the 3-5 start has fans calling for a change at the quarterback spot, leading to many wondering why Lance isn't starting. While draft philosophies differ, one thing is certain: The 49ers spent a lot of future draft capital for a guy who's gotten a very small sample size of work so far this season.Shanahan's comments haven't painted a pretty picture for Lance's starting prospects in 2021, either.Why isn't Trey Lance starting?The answer: Anyone's gue s.While Lance got an opportunity to fill in for Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 5 vs. the Cardinals, he's been on the sidelines since then. Through a bye week, a knee injury and Garoppolo getting the opportunity to start once again, the 49ers have resisted the urgeto let Lance see Ian Book Jersey the field. Lance last got a snap in Week 5.While Lance came out of college as something of a project, it seems like the 49ers' direction is to do more to try and develop Lance for the future than to shoehorn him into Malcolm Roach Jersey situations now after attempting to earlier in the season.In late October, head coach Kyle Shanahan explained why Lance hasn't been given a longer leash to start:We didnt draft Trey to just fix this year,"Shanahan said. "We drafted him so he could be the quarterback of the future and thats a matter of time. We are not playing him just because what our record is, or just because."There's also the matter of Jimmy Garoppolo, who has played "all right" (Shanahan's words) despite mi sing a game with an injury. that he doesn't feel that Shanahan will make the change to Garoppolo anytime soon not as long as Garoppolo is playing, well, all right.On Halloween, Lance was seemingly healthy and ready to go. Shanahan, though, in the event that Garoppolo was injured.To that end, the question remains: Not that Lance's usage rate was out of this world, but Malcolm Jenkins Jersey whywere the 49ers more willing to use Lance early on in the season (129snaps in total through Week 5) and not now?The resistance to want to use Lance continued in this past weekend: Following the rough Week 9 lo s to an undermanned Cardinals team, Shanahan was asked if he'd consider making a QB change for the Niners' Week 10 game vs. the Rams."Probably not, but definitely not thinking about those things right now. Im thinking about this game and the rest of our team," Shanahan said post-game.Defenses have been playing the 49ers pa sing game tighter, with Garoppolo's propensity to work short throws and the middle of the field (as the Shanahan system accounts for). Garoppolo's ability to stretch the field has always been something of a question, something that Lance's physical traits would allow him to do.But, come hell or high water, it sounds like it's Michael Thomas T Shirts going to be Garoppolo for now.

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high right now. In a game that could have easily been a throwaway with Dak Prescott out, they were able Denzel Perryman Jersey to ride behind Cooper Rush and pick up a 20-16 win in primetime over the Minnesota Vikings. Now, at 6-1, theyve comfortably joined the ranks of the NFC Haves with Prescott slated to be under center again against the Denver Broncos.The Broncos 3-0 start this season, meanwhile, has looked to be a mirage perpetrated by terrible competition. They snapped a four-game losing streak and got to 4-4 by beating the Washington Football Team last Sunday, but legacy player Von Miller was traded to the Rams near the deadline, and it would appear that coach Vic Fangios seat is warming up as the Broncos struggle to keep up in whats been a surprisingly disappointing AFC West so far this season.Last time these two teams played was in 2017, when the Cowboys were run out of the building in a 42-17 laugher in favor of the Broncos. Both teams show up now in Dallas looking very different, as the Cowboys look to continue a six-game winning streak after an Opening Day lo s to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Broncos look to build momentum with their bye week two weeks away. This will be the second of an NFC East tripleheader for Denver, which means three highly unfamiliar opponents three weeks in a row.The Broncos will have their work cut out for them to deal with the Cowboys many weapons, and when theyve played against good offenses theyve struggled to Divine Deablo Jersey do so. Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard, Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Dak Prescott have proven to be one of the most well-rounded offenses in the league. Denver will have to innovate without Miller to figure out ways to slow them down, because the offense will likely have trouble matching pace in a shootout.Heres what you need to know to watch Broncos vs. Cowboys this Sunday, including kickoff time, TV channels, and the full Week 9 NFL schedule.MORE:What channel is Cowboys vs. Broncoson today?TV channel (national): FOXTV channel (Denver): KDVRTV channel (Dallas): KDFWLive Stream: Fox Sports Go, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen are in the booth for Fox, while Marcus Allen Jersey Pam Oliver is on sideline reporter duty.

Hollywood's latest star is still on the rise.It wasn't too l

Hollywood's latest star is still on the rise.It wasn't too long ago when Odell Beckham Jr. expre sed desire to play on the West Coast, and he finally got the opportunity this season, when the Browns released him and the Rams brought Justin Herron Jersey him in to finish out the season.Beckham's Browns tenure wasn't all it was cracked up to be: With inefficiencies at quarterback and a run-heavy attack, Beckham couldn't quite replicate the succe ses that he had with the Giants in 2 1/2 seasons with Baker Mayfield in Cleveland, resulting in just seven touchdowns in 29 games in orange and brown.Well, from an organization scuffling to make the playoffs to a team that' Lawrence Guy Jersey s a perennial Super Bowl contender,Beckham got another opportunity to bolster his reputation as one of the game's best receivers with Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford in LA.Here's how he's played so far:Odell Beckham Jr. stats with RamsSo far with the Rams, Beckham has caught 13 pa ses for 204yards on 25targets acro s four games games.He hasn't exactly lit the world on fire since landing Julian Edelman Hoodies Sweatshirts in Hollywood, but obviously, there's an acclimation period in a new offense. In Beckham's Week 10 debut with the Rams vs. the 49ers, he was primarily used as a decoy receiver, catching just two pa ses on three targets in the game.After a Week 11bye and more time to get Beckham involved in the offense in the wake of the lo s of Robert Woods Beckham caught five pa ses for 81 yards from Matthew Stafford. Beckham scored Brandon King Jersey his first TD as a Ram in that game.Beckham's third go of it, a matchup with the Jaguars in Week 13, was a little lighter on work given the utter domination by both running back Sony Michel and wideout Cooper Kupp. Beckham was targeted just fivetimes in the matchup, with two catches for 28 yards total.Part of the difference in Beckham's production with the Rams as opposed to the Browns this year is how he's used: Through just three games, Beckham has already been Joshuah Bledsoe Jersey targeted deep (20-plus yards) down the field six times, as opposed to 10 times in six games with the Browns, per PFF.It's also important to note that Beckham's snap counts by position aren't dramatically different from how he was used with Cleveland, either, between playing in the slot and playing out wide.Here's a breakdown of Beckham's 2021 season with the Browns vs. his early goings with the Rams:Statw/ Brownsw/ RamsGames64Targets3425Receptions1713Yards232204Touchdowns03ADOT14.314.1PFF receiving grade66.169.9
