Link to story NFL | Thomas Hammock generating interest Fri Jan 24, 02:52 PM
University of Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock has reportedly received some consideration to be as a running backs coach or run-game coordinator for at least three NFL teams, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Hammock was the Ravens running backs coach from 2014-2018 and he led Northern Illinois to a win over national runner-up Notre Dame for their first win over a top 10 team this year. He had a potential pro future as a running back after a strong three years at Northern Illinois, but had to retire from football as a player after a heart condition caused problems following the opening game of his senior season. |
NFL | Trevor Etienne declares for draft Fri Jan 17, 04:32 PM
Georgia RB Trevor Etienne declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Travis Etienne's little brother is probably a third day pick. A 2024 DUI will raise some character questions, and he missed two games with a rib injury. This is a strong draft at running back, but if Etienne lands in a spot with opportunity, he could make the Week 1 roster and get on the fantasy radar. |

Tennessee EDGE James Pearce Jr., arguably one of the best EDGE rushers in college football, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Link to story NFL | Quinn Ewers entering draft Wed Jan 15, 12:06 PM
University of Texas QB Quinn Ewers declared for the 2025 NFL Draft Wednesday, Jan. 15.
| Footballguys view: Ewers enters the draft in what many see as an average (at best) quarterback class. He flashed plenty of potential with the Longhorns, but Ewers game lacked consistency. Ewers has a good-not-great arm, and he can be a rhythm passer who can work the underneath routes consistently. However, his game falls apart under pressure and his mechanics seem to go haywire at times. He's working to be a Day 2 pick, but some may consider him higher than that. |

NFL | Tyler Warren turning pro Tue Jan 14, 02:50 PM
Penn State TE Tyler Warren announced his intention to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
| Footballguys view: Warren, who had one year of eligibility left, won the Mackey Award and was voted a first-team All-American for his work during the 2024 season. He had 104 catches for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns during the 2024 season, production that's likely to put him in the first-round conversation ahead of April's NFL Draft. |

NFL | Kyle McCord headed to the NFL Fri Jan 10, 02:33 PM
University of Syracuse QB Kyle McCord announced his intention to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday, Jan. 10.
| Footballguys view: The Ohio State transfer projects as a mid-round pick and will be at the Shrine Bowl to try to enhance his stock. He broke the ACC record for passing yards in a season and finished 10th in Heisman voting this year. Keep him on your radar in superflex dynasty leagues. |
NFL | Bill Belichick has no intention of returning to NFL Thu Jan 9, 01:41 PM
University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick is 'completely committed' to his new college coaching job and any reports of him considering a return to the NFL are a 'complete falsehood,' according to Tar Heels general manager Mike Lombardi on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Is he committed, or does no NFL team want him? He was close with the Falcons last year, but reports suggest Arthur Blank didn't want to hire all of Belichick's disciples with him. As wild as it may seem for some, Belichick's days as a pro coach may be done. |

NFL | Jalen Milroe declares for the draft Thu Jan 2, 03:20 PM
University of Alabama QB Jalen Milroe announced his intention to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday, Jan. 2.
| Footballguys view: Milroe is an athletic runner who shows flashes of making pro reads as a passer. He can throw with anticipation, and Milroe can use his eyes to manipulate the defense. However, his skill is too inconsistent for him to be relied on as an early starter. Instead, Milroe should be drafted as a developmental prospect with a staff that understands how to use his legs while developing his skill with his arm. |
NFL | Jon Gruden likely to get some head coaching interviews Tue Dec 31, 01:07 PM
Former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden is expected to receive requests from 'multiple teams' for head coaching interviews this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: As things stand, there will be four open NFL head coaching positions entering the offseason, and, as SI.com's Liam McKeone noted, it wouldn't be surprising to see more open up as additional coaches are dismissed after disappointing 2024 campaigns. As with each cycle, a handful of popular candidates will be considered favorites for those positions. This year, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel lead the pack. Gruden is a surprising addition to the list. Still, Pelissero reported that multiple NFL teams are doing extensive research on Gruden and consider him a possibility for a coaching job this season. Pelissero also reported Gruden nearly got an offer to become the Saints offensive coordinator over the offseason. Gruden was most recently head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. He resigned in 2021 after it was revealed he used racist language in emails sent back in 2011. Since then, Gruden has become an online NFL content creator and recently joined Barstool Sports |
NFL | Jaxson Dart declares for draft Sat Dec 28, 03:19 PM
Mississippi QB Jaxson Dart announced on his personal Instagram page that he will be entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Dart is going to be an interesting late-round quarterback. We think he goes on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, but some team is going to get an intriguing dual-threat prospect. He's got a plus arm and plus athleticism to attack defenses as both a passer and a runner. Dart, a USC transfer, developed against better defenses during his time at Ole Miss. It's not a great quarterback class, but Dart is worth taking a late-round flier on. |
NFL | Carson Beck declares for draft Sat Dec 28, 03:11 PM
Georgia QB Carson Beck announced on his personal Instagram page that he will be entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Beck's draft stock is not as high as it used to be, but we should see him go off the board in the mid-rounds of the 2025 NFL draft. He's got some Kenny Pickett to his game, which is both a good and a bad thing. Beck is a system quarterback with good-not-great arm strength. We like his prototypical size and the way he can distribute the ball in the short-to-intermediate range. Pressure gets to him, and Beck seems not to trust his eyes as much as he should when going downfield. |

Former Baltimore Ravens WR Diontae Johnson is expected to be claimed off waivers Monday, Dec. 23, according to multiple sources. The Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs could be interested in him, if he makes it that far.
| Footballguys view: Johnson was a problem for the Ravens, so they let him go. If added by the Chiefs or the Chargers (or anyone else) it would be his third team of the 2024 season. The Ravens may actually get to see Johnson in the postseason, if he's actually motivated and playing for his new team (Chargers or Chiefs). |

Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter said he plans to enter the 2025 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is a fantastic player who can shine on both sides of the ball. We think Hunter plays on offense in the NFL, and he could be a Pro Bowl level receiver who dabbles on the defensive side of the ball. |
