Justin Jefferson Sets NFL Rookie Receiving Yardage Record
I described Minnesota Vikings’ rookie wide receiver Justin Jamal “Jets” Jefferson a few weeks ago as underrated. That’s turned out to be an understatement after he’s now set the all-time rookie receiving yards mark.

Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs Have the Bills’ Circling the Wagons
Quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs are the Buffalo Bills’ preeminent duo. With their first AFC East crown since 1995, Allen and Diggs are helping Buffalo’s franchise circle the wagons once again.

Justin Jefferson Is My NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
Underrated. Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver Justin Jefferson flew slightly under the radar amongst both NFL scouts and franchises leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft. The fifth WR selected in April’s draft and No. 22-overall, Mr. Jefferson isn’t playing like it. He’s suiting up and going to work as if […]
Chase Young Destined to Take Home Defensive ROY Honors

Consistently churning the butter week […]
Gig ‘Em Aggies: My Texas A&M Football Story
Texas A&M Aggies’ football introduced me to sports when I was eight years old. A small black and white Zenith television in my parents’ kitchen in Colorado Springs, CO, rendered me transfixed on the Aggies playing in the Cotton Bowl on a New Year’s Day. The smell and taste of […]
Arizona Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray Is Everything and More – Part 2
Kyler Cole Murray deserves an encore. In my piece about the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback a month ago, I shined the brightest of spotlights on the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner from Bedford, TX. A few days after I wrote the aforementioned article, Mr. Murray and the Cardinals took center stage on […]
Minnesota Vikings: NFL MVP Candidate Dalvin Cook
Minnesota Vikings’ running back Dalvin “Purple Blur” Cook is a legitimate NFL MVP candidate. If you have a better nickname than the one I just coined him, be my guest to chime in. After a horrendous 1-5 start, the Vikes (3-5) now find themselves at the halfway point of their […]
