David Njoku makes shirtless plea for Myles Garrett to stay

Myles Garrett is not the only Cleveland Browns player on Radio Row at the Super Bowl, as tight end David Njoku has also been caught on the scene.
And in classic Njoku fashion, the Pro Bowl tight end is not wearing a shirt just like it is a pregame ritual in 20-degree weather. On Radio Row, however, Njoku sat down with the guys at Bleacher Report to discuss the future of the Browns, including the trade request made by Garrett, who did a media tour of his own.
In the interview, Mike Golic Jr. asks Njoku if he has any public plea for Garrett. Njoku responded:
"Come on, dawg, stay home, bro... Stay home, come on, give it another shot. We ain't that far off, honestly speaking, so."
Njoku furthered his plea to his fellow 2017 NFL draft first round pick:
"That's my brother, man. We came in the same time, the same round. We've been here the same amount of time. We've seen the lowest of the lows and the highest of the highs in our team... I don't think we're done yet. I know he wants to win, wants to be great, wants to be a champion. So do I... Stay home baby. We already got this far. We didn't come this far just to come this far."

As for how close the Browns are? Njoku thinks they may be just one piece away:
"I think we're close, man. I think we just need a healthy, good quarterback."
The Browns have publicly stated they will not entertain trading their future first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer. Can Njoku and the Browns get Garrett to buy back in for the 2025 season though?

Why Fanatics Fest's ‘Museum of Greatness' almost didn't include Tom Brady's Super Bowl jerseys

NEW YORK — Walk to the end of the 'Museum of Greatness,' a one-of-a-kind exhibit at Fanatics Fest in the Javits Center and you'll see the centerpiece of a collection full of centerpieces: seven of Tom Brady's game-worn Super Bowl jerseys, including his Super Bowl LI jersey, which was stolen after the game and eventually recovered by the FBI. Advertisement A few hours before the show opened, though, the jerseys were nowhere to be found. 'Brady lost his Super Bowl jerseys!' Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin said excitedly Friday morning before making an appearance on ESPN's First Take from the massive three-day celebration of sports fandom. Rubin said Brady had forgotten where the jerseys were, which is actually understandable since Brady had just helped open the Hall of Excellence museum in Las Vegas on Wednesday that now houses all of his Super Bowl rings. Realizing the importance of the jerseys to the museum, Rubin sent a plane down to Miami to retrieve them from Brady's safe. The exhibit wouldn't be complete without the jerseys, in Rubin's eyes. So there was no price too high to make the swift jersey rescue to bring them to the museum that is temporarily housing an estimated $250 million worth of sports trading cards and memorabilia. 'It's the biggest exhibition of trading cards and memorabilia that's ever been brought together,' Rubin said. 'We don't want to be a big company. We want to be a beloved company that makes people love Fanatics. … So we had to have those jerseys to complete the fan experience.' The temporary museum's 10,500 square-foot showcase features trading cards and memorabilia from other all-time sports greats like LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lionel Messi, Serena Williams, Billie Jean King, Lewis Hamilton, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle as well as up and coming stars like Caitlin Clark, Paul Skenes and Elly De La Cruz. Several of these items have never been displayed publicly, with some coming from the players' personal collections, as well as from 30 individual collectors. Among the athletes who contributed their personal items to the museum include Brady, Kevin Durant and Logan Paul, who added his famed 1998 Pokemon Pikachu Illustrator Holo PSA 10 card he wore around his neck for his Wrestlemania 38 ring entrance. Advertisement 'I think we have something for everyone, which is what I think Fanatics is all about,' said Mike Connolly, the company's vice president of collector relations. 'So no matter where you are in your collecting journey or where you are as a fan, the fact that you can come here and see items you've either recognized or heard about or that you can see for the first time, is a very special experience.' There's a heavy security element for the display. A security guard stands by every case and alarms ring if anyone, even authorized museum curators, enter the display case. The items will be under 24-hour surveillance by more than 25 armed security guards, 360-degree cameras, undercover and uniformed police and canine units for the duration of Fanatics Fest. Even with the security, though, collectors and fans are able to get up close to items that may have previously seemed mythical. Some of the other more notable items include: Fanatics Collect CEO Mike Mahan, who oversees trading cards giant Topps, walked around the display before the Fest opened in his Washington Nationals' James Wood jersey almost with his jaw dropped given the amount of 'grail' cards and pieces of memorabilia around him. 'As a professional, I'm blown away by what this is and how it came together so quickly,' Mahan said. 'And with this only in its second year and the way that it's put together, it's truly special. And then there's the kid collector in me who sees all of these things, not only in one place but presented in a way that's frankly befitting of how important and special they are, it's awesome! 'It's really a vision to elevate collectibles in a way that was worthy of the moment. I think this is a manifestation of that. When you're a kid and you open a pack, you hope to have that card come in there someday. That's cool.' The Athletic maintains full editorial independence in all our coverage.

Buccaneers' Mike Evans Credits Baker Mayfield For His Return

Buccaneers' Mike Evans Credits Baker Mayfield For His Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baker Mayfield era in Tampa Bay has been a successful one so far for the Buccaneers. When Tom Brady retired after the 2022 season, most thought the Bucs would suffer a period of adjustment and would be cellar dwellers in the NFC and the NFC South. Advertisement But a funny thing happened on the way to the cellar. General manager Jason Licht signed Mayfield to fill the shoes of Brady, and he did. Mayfield signed on a one-year "prove-it" deal with Tampa Bay, and proceeded to post career numbers. Licht then inked the former Texas Tech Red Raider and Oklahoma Sooner to a three-year, $100 million contract. Mayfield posted another career season in Year 2 with the Bucs. And star wideout Mike Evans couldn't be happier about it. "Huge impact (on Evans' career). He's a big reason to why I came back," Evans said. "The energy that he's brought to Tampa after Tom (Brady) -- that's some huge shoes to fill, huge act to follow -- and I think he's done an unbelievable job, winning two division championships, making it to the postseason. Advertisement "But Tampa's in great hands with Baker. I'm sure he'll play much longer than I will. I'm looking forward to a great season this year and competing for a Super Bowl." Evans was to enter into free agency last offseason and was in high demand. But he eventually stayed with the Bucs and signed a two-year, $41 million deal. As he enters the final season of that deal in 2025, the relationship with Mayfield and the trending upward of the team could convince Evans to stay a couple of more years.
