Why are the Commanders hosting four quarterback prospects at the same time in Ashburn?
I spoke with @MoveTheSticks today.
DJ told me, “I’ve been connecting them with Drake Maye for a long time…I think anybody that says they know exactly what Washington is doing is lying.” pic.twitter.com/grom99syGj

More from @AlbertBreer on Commanders plans at No. 2: “I don’t think there’s a chance in hell they trade the pick, but if you at least show interest in all the QBs, it gets you the most full picture of the landscape.”

Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn’t leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

“There’s a lot of depth at Offensive Tackle and Wide Receiver..
It will always be interesting to see how things work out and there’s a lot of good young prospects..
At this point in time I think teams are starting to really get things pulled together”

I guess the better question would be…. who is the position coach that is sharing information.
Might want to tighten that up. https://t.co/E6i5T1CAsr

Jalen Hurts on the coordinator change: “I think Brian (Johnson), I think the best of him, he’s been a huge part of my development. And my, my time here is an Eagle, it’s been three years as a starter… He’s been a part of all of that …I think he’s still more than capable of…

You think this is demoralizing, just imagine if Dak leaves after the season and Cowboys are taking $40M hit for him while he’s winning games for some other team. https://t.co/oqCn3ZijNK

Does anyone track all the visits that teams set up with rookie prospects, and analyze any possible trends with that data?

First player banned in the sports betting era.
This story was nuts. He allegedly bet the under on some of his own prop bets, then didn’t finish those games. https://t.co/L7ulKS3xwY
