Kalen DeBoer will reveal his starting quarterback next week, enabling the winner Ish Smith Jersey of the three-player competition to have a couple of weeks to prepare for the University of Washington’s season opener against Kent State and call the job his own.So far DeBoer has given Michael Penix Jr., Sam Huard andDylan Morris roughly two dozen practices of equal repetitions to show how they make decisions, react to pre sure and throw the football.Each of these players has been a starting quarterback in a Power 5 game, though Huard in just one.As high-school recruits, Huard earned a 5-star rating, Morris drew a 4-star label and Penixheld 3-star consideration, according to 247Sports.We’ll take a look at each candidate over the next three days and offer reasons why they should and shouldn’t be the starter, beginning with Morris.3 reasons he deserves the job:1) Morris is a staunch competitor Rick Mahorn Jersey , leading the Huskies from a 21-0 halftime deficit to a last-second victory over Utah in 2020, no small feat; to a last-second victory at Stanford last season and to a comeback win in the final six minutes at Arizona also last season.2) He’s the incumbent, with 15 UW starts behind him, and he’s still just a sophomore. That counts for something. With detail-oriented QB coaching for the first time, Morris stands to be a much-improved player.Scroll to Continue3) The UW fan base always has been hard on its quarterbacks. It’s tradition to bash the struggling young Husky quarterbacks. For examples, see Warren Moon and Steve Pelluer. Now it’s the sons and maybe the daughters of those long-ago bashers who pick on Morris and castigate him. It’s his chance to respond.3 reasons Morris won’t get the job:1) Watching him, Morris breaks off Jerry Stackhouse Jersey plays and tucks the ball under his arm much more often than Penix or Huard, po sibly overly concerned about turning it over. The awarene s is good, but he might be overdoing it and greatly limiting himself from making the big play.2) As an even 6-footer, he’s the shortest Husky starting quarterback over the past four decades, sometimes finding it tough to see over the pa s rush.3) He led the Pac-12 in Detroit Pistons Jersey interceptions with 12 last season, which could make him a little reluctant to do what he did to win the four-player UW quarterback competition in 2020 against Ethan Garbers (now at UCLA), Jacob Sirmon (now at Northern Colorado) and Kevin Thomson which was to play free and loose and let things happen.

The SEC completed a decade of draft dominance with nine first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday. That edged out the Big Ten and ACC, which had seven first-round picks each. The Pac-12 and Big 12 each had three first-round picks.The SEC dominated again. The conference finished with 95 first-round picks in the last 10 NFL drafts, dating back to 2010. That leads all Power 5 conferences in that decade-long stretch. There is a huge gap between the SEC and the rest Zack Kassian Jersey of the Power 5 conferences.The ACC (51), Big Ten (45), Pac-12 (43) and Big 12 (37) finished in that order in the last 10 drafts. The SEC had the most first-round picks in every NFL Draft this decade except 2010 and 2015.MORE: That trend continued in 2019. Alabamas Quinnen Williams (No. 3), LSUs Devin White (No. 5) and Kentuckys Josh Allen (No. 7) were top-10 picks.The Crimson Tide led all FBS schools with 28 first-round picks since 2010, a remarkable stretch under coach Nick Saban. Jonah Williams (No. 11) and Joshua Jacobs (No. 24) added to that total.Mi si sippi State also had three first-round selections in Jeffery Simmons ( Wayne Gretzky Jersey No. 19), Montez Sweat (No. 26) and Johnathan Abram (No. 27). Georgias Deandre Baker (No. 30) rounded out the first-round picks.The SEC also had the No. 1 pick in three drafts in the decade, including Auburns Cam Newton (2011), South Carolinas Jadeveon Clowney (2014) and Texas A&Ms Myles Garrett (2017).Heres a look at every first-round pick from the SEC since 2010:YearPickPlayerTeamSchool20105Eric BerryKansas CityTenne see20107Joe HadenClevelandFlorida20108Rolando McClainOaklandAlabama201018Maurkice PounceyPittsburghFlorida201020Kareem JacksonHoustonAlabama201025Tim TebowDenverFlorida201026Dan WilliamsArizonaTenne see20111Cam NewtonCarolinaAuburn20113Marcell DareusBuffaloAlabama20114A.J.

Bill Tomas Hertl Jersey Walsh famously used to say that it’s better to trade a player a year too early than a year too late.The 49ers used this logic when they traded Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig and Joe Montana. This year, they should apply Walsh’s logic to tight end George Kittle, and trade him before it’s too late.Here are 10 reasons why the 49ers should trade Kittle as soon as po sible.1, He mi sed 11 games the past two seasons.2. Even when he played, he San Jose Sharks Jersey mostly was injured the past two seasons.3. His past two injuries — broken foot, strained calf — occurred simply from running. The calf injury affected Kittle for all of the 2021 season.4. The 49ers gave Kittle $16 million per season because they thought he’d be the No. 1 option in their pa sing game, but now Deebo Samuel is the No. 1 option, Brandon Aiyuk is the second option and Kittle is the third option when healthy.Scroll to Continue5. Everything Kittle does as a receiver, Samuel and Aiyuk do better, including running after the catch. This past season, Samuel averaged 10.4 YAC per catch, Aiyuk averaged 6.6 YAC per catch and Kittle averaged 6.5 YAC per catch.6. The 49ers don’t give Kittle the ball frequently enough to justify paying him like Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey a No. 1 wide receiver.7. Kittle isn’t as good as he was when they gave him his contract extension.8 The 49ers probably could get a late first-round pick or a Pro Bowl cornerback such as Xavien Howard for Kittle if they trade him now.9. If Kittle has one more injury-filled season, the 49ers probably won’t be able to trade him and his $16-million-per-season contract, because everyone will see him as damaged goods who’s on the downside of his career.10. Kittle will turn 29 David Schlemko Jersey this year.The clock is ticking.

FRISCO – Is Amari Cooper “gone”?In the aftermath of , social media has been abuzz with speculation about the Cowboys future of Amari Cooper.This team will be nothing like you just saw in 2021, said recently. (Team COO) Stephen Jones knows that. Its why Zeke (Ezekiel Elliott) and Amari were sad in post game.And this: I feel like Amari Coopers gone, wrote. Thats just a sense I get; nobodys told me that.Amari CooperAmari Cooper and Dak PrescottAmari Cooper and Jerry JonesThe facts are – with all due respect to our esteemed teammates at The Fan – the Cowboys haven’t finalized Joe Colborne Jersey their decision here. There are roster-talent ramifications and there are salary-cap ramifications. The front office is meeting on subjects like this and many more.And one of the reasons we cannot yet be certain of Cooper’s fate? Cooper isn’t certain of Cooper’s fate.I dont make those decisions, he said of returning to Dallas. I honestly dont know, but hopefully.Cooper – the Pro Bowl perennial who had six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown amid the 23-17 defeat at AT&T Stadium, and who during the season posted 865 receiving yards and eight TDs on 68 catches – did not have his greatest season. If we’re simply judging those numbers against his salary, there is a “value” i Mikko Rantanen Jersey sue.But there are a few things worth noting here, including the fact that Cooper, 28, recently purchased a $6 million home in North Texas (a suggestion that he’s forecasting remaining here). He does have a five-year, $100 million pact, putting him under contract with Dallas through 2024. But the deal (which has him scheduled to count $22 million against the teams salary cap next season) is escapable. While his $20 million base salary will become fully guaranteed if rostered on the fifth day of the 2022 league year, he can he moved after June 1 with only $2 million of dead money remaining.Scroll to ContinueThe Cowboys can therefore create $20 million of space. (They could also part ways with Francois Beauchemin Jersey him prior to June 1, which would free $16 million but increase the dead-money hit to $6 million.)Amari being “gone”? It’s an option.By the way, while some media outlets have used the word we see it as being “released”; we’re not sure which NFL team wants to pay $22 million for a wideout.Dallas is up against it, cap-wise. Room of $16 mil to $20 mil would be valuable. But if Cooper is gone, wouldn’t the Cowboys need to buy a receiver to replace him? CeeDee Lamb is in place and under contract. But fellow starter Michael Gallup is headed for unrestricted free agency (while dealing with offseason injury rehab) and Cedrick Wilson is a free agent, too.Amari Cooper and Michael GallupAmari CooperBroaddus’ a sertion that this team will be nothing like you just saw in 2021” is obviously a hyperbolic one; it’s Lanny McDonald Jersey likely that 60 to 70 percent of this roster will stay intact. But there are expensive pieces (Elliott included) that didn’t pay off for the Cowboys in the end. And now comes a 2022 decision about whether Amari Cooper at $20 million-plus is going to pay off.It’s a decision that can mean a Pro Bowl player for the Cowboys, or cap room for the Cowboys. It’s a decision so challenging that we are five weeks into the offseason and Dallas officials haven’t made it yet.Follow Follow Subscribe to the
