Browns No. 1 Pick Named to Preseason All-Rookie Team
Browns No. 1 Pick Named to Preseason All-Rookie Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In this year's NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns passed up on a chance to take Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter when they traded the No. 2 pick to Jacksonville for the No. 5 pick and other draft capital. Advertisement With No. 5, they selected Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, who was one of the best players in the country at his position and could be a perfect fit for the Browns' defense. has selected Graham for its Preseason All-Rookie Team, as selected by writer Gennaro Filice. "Graham's NFL career, for better or worse, will always be compared to those of Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter," Filice wrote. "Cleveland had its pick of those two at No. 2, but the Browns decided to trade down, collecting valuable draft currency and ultimately selecting this prospect crop's top defensive tackle at No. 5. Top-five picks always face immense pressure to produce, but this juicy subplot brightens the spotlight. Working in Graham's favor: He gets to line up alongside the force of nature that is Myles Garrett. And he was one of the cleanest evals in this draft class, as a former wrestler who consistently wins with leverage, heavy hands and a non-stop motor. "I anticipate early game-wreckage, inherently spawning an unthinkable development: a whole bunch of Ohioans praising a Michigan man." Advertisement General manager Andrew Berry thinks Graham could immediately help the Browns' defense. "He is a DNA match for our defense, a disruptive interior penetrator ... we thought he was one of the more dominant trench prospects in this year's class," Berry said.

Mizzou WR Cracks Prominent List After Luther Burden III's Departure
Mizzou WR Cracks Prominent List After Luther Burden III's Departure originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pro Football Focus released an X post with its highest graded returning SEC wide receivers ahead of the 2025 season and Mizzou saw a wideout make the list for a second consecutive year. Advertisement Former Mississippi State WR Kevin Coleman Jr., who has one year of eligibility remaining, transferred to Mizzou at the end of last season and found himself on PFF's list as the No. 3 returning SEC wide receiver. During his 2024 season with the Bulldogs, Coleman had a career year, finishing with 74 receptions, 932 yards and six touchdowns — all of which are collegiate career highs for the St. Louis product. The 5-foot-11 WR spent his freshman season at Jackson State, before transferring to Louisville for his sophomore campaign. After a sophomore slump at Louisville, Coleman decided it was time to transfer to the SEC.

Burden led the rankings in 2024, finishing with a grade of 88.9 (.4 ahead of Ole Miss' Tre Harris). Advertisement Coleman sits in third with a grade of 79.2 with Alabama's Germie Bernard (79.9) and Oklahoma's Javonnie Gibson (81.7) rounding out the Top 3. Oklahoma's Keontex Lewis (78.7), Ole Miss' De'Zhaun Strubling (77.7) and Arkansas' O'Mega Blake (76.9) round out the list. Notably, Alabama's Ryan Williams was left off the list, likely because he will be entering just his second season of college football. Coleman is expected to lead the Tigers' wide receiver room, with Marquis Johnson and Joshua Manning also likely to start. The team also acquired Illinois State's Xavier Loyd via the transfer portal from Illinois State. In his sophomore season the 6-foot-2 wideout had 66 receptions, 912 yards and six touchdowns. Loyd brings the team a solid fourth option at WR despite the QB race still being in full throttle. Advertisement With a revamped receiving corps, Missouri enters the 2025 season with one of the SEC's most dangerous wideout groups. As the quarterback competition unfolds, the Tigers' playmakers are already in place to give the eventual starter plenty of weapons to work with.
