Caleb Murphy set an NCAA record with 25.5 sacks as a senior at Ferris State.
On Tuesday, the Chargers announced the signing of former Titans UDFA pass rusher Caleb Murphy who was waived by Tennessee on October 26th. Murphy was signed by the Titans following the 2023 NFL Draft and played his football at Division II Ferris State.
Murphy was a two-time Division II National Champion who set the NCAA single-season record with 25.5 sacks and tied the standing record of 39 tackles for loss during the 2022 season. He was awarded the Ted Hendricks Award, becoming the first non-FBS...
Newest quarterback shouldn’t stop the Raiders exploring in the draft
The Las Vegas Raiders missed on drafting a quarterback in the NFL draft, leaving them with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell to battle for the starting job. The training camp battle was underwhelming, with Minshew falling into the starting job by Week 1.
When the Raiders started the season, the quarterback's struggles continued. Minshew is tied for the league lead in turnovers, with ten on the year. This has led to the offense ranking 27th in dropback EPA per play.
Minshew was benched for O’Connell, who broke his thumb vs....
It is Week 9 around the NFL, and the Denver Broncos are gearing up for an AFC showdown against the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Broncos Country sent in their mailbag questions following the team’s dominating win against the Carolina Panthers.
If you want to be featured in our weekly mailbag series, keep your eyes peeled on Mondays for my prompt on social media @CodyRoarkNFL. You can also email them to me at [email protected].
***Based on what we saw in Bo Nix’s breakout game vs. Carolina, how much closer is the offense actually gelling...
In Kansas City’s win over Las Vegas, we could see how the rookie wide receiver is developing — and improving.
In 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice played a significant role in their passing attack. Compared to the rest of the position group, the second-round rookie had almost instantly become the team’s most talented wideout — which forced Kansas City to accelerate his development. While there were growing pains at the beginning, the Chiefs were able to identify Rice’s best role (and get him enough up to speed) so that the offense could peak as the...
The Chargers got strong defensive games from Teair Tart and Tuli Tuipulotu against the Saints.
A lot of role players played impactful games for the Chargers in their 26-8 win over the Saints.
Let’s go ahead and just dive right in to see how this week’s snaps were given out.
Scott Matlock saw 27 snaps on offense which is a season high. Same goes with Eric Tomlinson who racked up 25 snaps on a day where the Chargers went heavy in their personnel quite often.
Simi Fehoko led all receivers in snaps which is likely due to his...
Las Vegas is still searching for answers on offense beyond the quarterback problem
We’re eight games into the season and the Las Vegas Raiders are still searching for answers offensively as they rank 26th in the league with 18.0 points per game. Coincidentally, that’s also around the range of where the Raiders rank in NFL power rankings as the offensive struggles are holding the team back.

An inexcusable turnover for Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter of a one-score game. Over the last two weeks,...
The Denver Broncos are in the playoff hunt currently, as the No. 5 seed in the AFC.
At 5-3 on the season, the Broncos are winners of three straight games. And there’s lots of praise to go around. Sean Payton’s coaching, Vance Joseph’s coaching of the defense, Bo Nix’s play; all of them deserve props.
But the reason they’re sniffing a playoff berth is the tremendous play in the trenches.
Halfway through the 2024 season the Broncos are a playoff team. Yes, things are about to...
Justin Herbert was included on this week’s “All-Film Team” by ESPN, a list of players who are performing well despite not being in the running for accolades at the end of the season.
Coming into the 2024 season, it was a foregone conclusion that the passing game was going to be toned down under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman. However, I believe it was still quite the shock to see Herbert fail to pass 180 passing yards in each of the team’s first four games.
Since the team’s win over the Broncos in Week Six, however, Herbert has thrown for...
Drafting a quarterback early is so risky
With the Las Vegas Raiders sitting at 2-6 the rest of the 2024 season will likely be about the future and that future begins at quarterback.
The Raiders will be among the teams most interested in drafting a quarterback in 2025. Their future will be clouded until they can finally answer their need at the position.
But it’s not easy to do and even if the Raiders do draft a quarterback early in the 2025 draft there are no guarantees it will work out.
Quarterbacks are draft crap shoot and that’s proven almost...
Let’s see how Kansas City is ranked this week.
This week’s most interesting note about the Kansas City Chiefs comes from CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco — who doesn’t exactly have a pro-Chiefs reputation.
The reality is the Chiefs just keep on winning. And, if you look at their schedule, other than a road date in a few weeks with the Buffalo Bills, the games are all winnable. If they win that Buffalo game, they have a real chance to go undefeated.
And even then, the doubters will probably say the team isn’t that good*.*
*Here’s this week’s...
The 2023 first-round pick had an encouraging performance against Kansas City
With the Las Vegas Raiders sitting at 2-6 after the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the focus for the rest of the Raiders’ season is on the young players on the roster. Las Vegas is building for the future and the defense got an encouraging performance from defensive end Tyree Wilson against Kansas City.
Wilson earned a strong 73.6 grade from Pro Football Focus, his second-highest mark of the campaign. He recorded a couple of pressures as a pass-rusher, including a third-down sack, and posted a...

The Chiefs aren’t sexy anymore. Only six teams in the NFL have fewer plays of 20-plus yards this season. Patrick Mahomes has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The leading receiver – Travis Kelce – currently ranks 54th in...
