NFL Team Looking Into Trade For Lamar Jackson

by

Lamar Jackson’s future has looked uncertain since the end of last season. Jackson hasn’t hid his frustrations from the team. As Jackson has shared many details about what started his frustrations with the Baltimore Ravens. Recently, many teams have moved on from attempting to acquire the former league MVP. However, there’s still one team that has shown interest in bringing Jackosn in. The San Francisco 49ers have not yet shut the door on a potential deal to bring Jackson to the Bay Area.

Legendary radio host Dan Patrick discussed the rumor of the 49ers attempting to add Jackson to the team. With the NFL Draft coming up this Thursday, teams around the league are exploring every inch of their rosters. The 49ers seem to think they may not be set at quarterback for this upcoming season. San Francisco has dealt with a lot of QB turmoil recently. However, adding Jackson would all but put the 49ers atop the list of best teams in the league. Check out the clip of Patrick discussing the rumor below.

49ers Show Interest In Lamar Jackson

Just as Patrick mentions, any team needing a QB should look into adding Jackson. The former league MVP has dealt with injuries in the past few seasons. However, Jackson’s talent far outweighs any QB currently on the 49ers roster. But the 49ers did spend a first-round pick on Trey Lance back in 2021. Lance was supposed to be the future of San Francisco’s offense. However, a troubling injury sidelined Lance last season in what would have been his first year as the starter.

Jackson and the Ravens still are not seeing eye to eye with a future contract. QB contracts have been a huge topic of debate inside the league. Especially after the Philadelphia Eagles signed Jalen Hurts to the largest contract in NFL history. Yes, Hurts helped lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl last season. However, Hurts has yet to put up big numbers consecutively as Jackson has done. Will the 49ers make a move for Lamar Jackson during the NFL Draft? Let us know what you think in the comment section.

John Metchie III Returns To Field After Battle With Leukemia

by

John Metchie III was all smiles this past Tuesday and for good reason. The Houston Texans receiver was finally able to return to the field after a battle with leukemia. The diagnosis sidelined Metchie for his entire rookie season with the Texans. Now Metchie is just thankful to be on the field with his teammates. Metchie was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia mere months after being selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

News like that is heartbreaking for anyone to hear. Especially a young man on the verge of living out his dreams. However, Metchie won his battle with leukemia and is getting another chance to make his professional dreams come true. Metchie was a star at Alabama before becoming a member of the Texans. Recently, Alabama has been a star receiver factory. As the program has sent one star after another to the NFL. Including Heisman winner Devonta Smith who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.

John Metchie III Cleared For Return

Metchie’s numbers at Alabama are a big reason the star receiver went in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. In his final year with the Crimson Tide, Metchie recorded 8 touchdown receptions while racking up over 1,100 yards receiving. The Texans will be glad to see Metchie return to the field. Houston is in the middle of rebuilding their franchise. Many believe the team will add a quarterback during this year’s NFL Draft. However, the Texans have yet to reveal their draft plans. Although the team has plenty of holes that will need to be filled before the start of the 2023 season.

New Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is excited about the return of Metchie. However, Ryans doesn’t want to rush Metchie out on the field too soon. Unfortunately, missing an entire year of action in the NFL can slow down anyone. Let alone someone going through a battle like Metchie had to endure. However, just being a part of the day-to-day action has to have John Metchie smiling all day long. A great moment for Metchie and all those who may be dealing with a tough battle.

First Look At Aaron Rodgers With New York Jets, Twitter Reacts

by

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have finally parted ways. The veteran QB had requested a move to the New York Jets a while back. However, it seemed that the deal would never be complete. According to reports, the Packers and Jets couldn’t come to an agreement on the compensation for Rodgers. However, the two franchises finally agreed, sending Rodgers to the Big Apple. On Wednesday, Rodgers arrived at the Jets facility in all his new team’s gear.

The move comes just days before the 2023 NFL Draft. Some in the NFL felt it would be around this time when fans heard the news Rodgers was being dealt. Now Rodgers is rocking a different shade of green. However, the look may be hard to get used to for some. Fans quickly took to Twitter to describe how they felt seeing Rodgers with a different team. Check out some of the best reactions of Rodgers in his new gear below.

Aaron Rodgers Spotted In Jets Green

As you can see from the reactions, Jets fans believe they have hit the lottery with Rodgers. The Jets have been a franchise in disarray for quite some time. However, bringing in head coach Robert Saleh, the team has slowly looked to be righting the ship. Bringing in someone of Rodgers’ caliber to play quarterback could be the spark this franchise needs. However, last season wasn’t one of the stronger seasons of Rodgers’ career from a statistical standpoint.

Rodgers finished last season with 26 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. The touchdown number is a massive drop from the two seasons before. In which Rodgers was named league MVP. However, Rodgers’ numbers may not be all on him. Rodgers had been frustrated with the Packers inability to bring in talent at the receiver position. Those numbers could support Rodgers’ argument with the team. However, Rodgers has moved on and seems happy going into a new journey with the Jets. Will Aaron Rodgers instantly make the Jets one of the best teams in the AFC? Let us know what you think about the move in the comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Aaron Rodgers Will Not Forget The Memories Made

Rodgers and the Packers made more than just a few great memories. During Rodgers’ tenure with the team, the legendary QB led the team to a Super Bowl victory.

Rodgers’ last memory as a Packers player was a loss at Lambeau Field to the Detroit Lions. Which was something Rodgers didn’t do a lot of in Green Bay.

Betting Odds Change For Number One Pick In NFL Draft

by

The NFL Draft is one of the more exciting nights on the sports calendar. Fans are getting a closer look at their favorite franchise’s mindset on what the future could look like. College stars get the chance to live out their dreams of hearing their name announced by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. This year, the Carolina Panthers have the privilege of selecting the first overall pick. Of course, the Panthers will be in the market for a quarterback. However, which exact quarterback to select, is the tricky decision.

Darren Rovell of the Action Network noticed the betting odds of one quarterback in the Draft were trending in the right direction. Former Kentucky Wildcats quarterback Will Levis’ betting odds of being the number one overall pick have jumped to 10/1 odds. At one point last night, Levis was at 50/1 odds to be the first name off the board on Thursday. Now it seems that Carolina likes what they see from the Kentucky gunslinger. Levis has dazzled scouts with his arm strength. However, his stats from last season left a lot to be desired.

On Tuesday, rumors began circulating that Levis has been telling those close to him that the Panthers will select him on Thursday. The 2023 Draft is filled with potential franchise quarterbacks. Until today, many believed the Panthers had their sights set on Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Young is a former Heisman winner and an incredible talent that continues the trend of Alabama starting quarterbacks in the NFL. But the betting odds seem to have a different idea.

Levis would be the second Kentucky quarterback ever to be taken with the number one overall pick. Once upon a time, the Cleveland Browns selected quarterback Tim Couch with their first pick. Couch’s time in Cleveland didn’t end up being successful as the franchise would have hoped. However, in pick is taking a chance on a kid to become the face of a franchise. Do you believe that Levis will be the first pick of the NFL Draft? Let us know who you believe will go number one in our comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Secures Deal In Reckless Driving Case

by

Aaron Hernandez remains one of the most infamous players in the history of the NFL. Although, this is not for the best of reasons. As we all remember, he was convicted of murder. Subsequently, he went to prison and eventually died by suicide in 2017. Overall, it was a very sad saga that weighed heavily on his family. Now, his brother DJ is going through his own subset of legal issues, albeit on a much lower scale. For instance, back in March, DJ Hernandez was met by police on two separate occasions.

The first time police came into contact with him was on March 8th during a high-speed chase. Following the chase, Hernandez got hit with one count of failure to drive in a proper lane and one count of failure to use traffic control signals. According to TMZ, DJ has subsequently pled guilty to these charges. However, this was all part of a plea deal. Now, the charges are officially dropped, and Hernandez will only have to pay some fines.

Aaron Hernandez & DJ Have Had Their Issues

Although, this does not mean he is out of the woods in regard to his legal woes. On March 23rd, the brother of Aaron Hernandez got a misdemeanor charge due to a situation at the ESPN campus in Connecticut. He reportedly threw a brick onto the premises with a note attached to it. The note had something to do with the network’s coverage of his brother. Since that time, he has been told to stay away from the campus, or he could face severe punishment. The trespassing case has yet to be dealt with.

Regardless, this is a very sad story for a multitude of reasons. It is clear that the Aaron Hernandez case has had an effect on his family members. Hopefully, DJ can get the help that he needs. Let us know what you think of this ongoing story, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world. We will always keep you informed.
