NFL Trade Rumors
Browns QB Dillon Gabriel made headlines when saying, “There are entertainers and there are competitors,” causing a stir that he might be speaking of fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders. When asked about the comments, Sanders said he spoke to Gabriel, who made clear he wasn’t talking about him.
“I spoke with him,” Sanders said, via Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. “He said, ‘Nah, bro, that wasn’t.’ He said that. He told me on the plane. He came up, he was like, ‘Nah, bro, that wasn’t at you. I see how they trying to spin it.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m not tripping, regardless of whatever it was.’ Nobody’s words or anything affects me.”
Sanders was also asked if he believed Gabriel, to which Sanders shot back at.
“Did I believe him?” Sanders said. “I mean, I feel like you’re trying to start stuff now. I feel like you’re trying to start stuff. I mean, [the reporter’s] doing his job he’s supposed to. Do I feel like he did? I don’t know. And that’s not on me to sit here and be like, ‘Oh, he did, he did it.’ That’s not going to change my life in any way.”

“If you go watch the first couple games (last year) when Trav was healthy, you could argue he was just as dominant as Dexter Lawrence out there,” Van Noy said, via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. “If you really watched the film, he was that dominant.”
Ravens C Tyler Linderbaum said Jones is the strongest player he’s gone up against.
“I don’t remember anyone stronger than him that I’ve ever gone against,” Linderbaum said. “The power that he plays with is crazy. If your technique is out of sorts just a little bit, he’s going to make you pay. That’s just how strong he is. We see it every single day in practice. Sometimes he’s almost unblockable with the things that he’s able to do.”
Jones attended the University of Connecticut instead of joining a big program like Alabama. His mother, Jocelyn Ward, is glad about the path her son chose.
“I have no regrets about him going to Connecticut,” Ward said. *“At the time, it was best for him. But I’m like, ‘If he went to a place like Alabama, he would have gone first round.’ The...
