Shannon Sharpe Reacts To Carolina Panthers First Pick

by

Shannon Sharpe knows what a successful NFL player might look like. Sharpe was a part of multiple Super Bowl-winning teams. As well as being one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game. Now, the NFL legend is most notably known for delivering hot takes with Skip Bayless on Undisputed. However, that doesn’t mean that Sharpe’s football knowledge should be slighted. On Friday’s edition of the show, the hosts discussed their feelings on the selections of round one.

Sharpe believes the Carolina Panthers have hit a home run with their selection of Bryce Young. The Alabama star was the consensus first pick for the last couple of weeks. After last night, it finally became official. Sharpe, like the Panthers, believes that Young has all the skills to have a successful career. “If you watch this kid play he has it all: touch, velocity, ability to beat you inside & outside the pocket. The ceiling is the Super Bowl.” Sharpe had high praise for the former Heisman winner.

Shannon Sharpe Believes Super Bowl Is Ceiling For Young

Young’s selection wasn’t much of a secret as the draft slowly moved forward. However, the rest of the quarterbacks in the draft were uncertain about their future. But C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson didn’t have to wait long to hear their names called. Stroud was selected second overall by the Houston Texans. As Richardson found his home with the Indianapolis Colts fourth pick. However, not every quarterback got the good news of where they would play next season.

Kentucky quarterback Will Levis did not get selected in the first round on Thursday. Which doesn’t come as a surprise for many around the league. Including Sharpe, who earlier this week didn’t see the rising hype in Levis. Now Levis will have to wait to hear his name in the second round. As for Young, he will be arriving in Carolina this weekend to begin his work at turning around the franchise. Do you agree with Shannon Sharpe on the talents of Young?

Will Levis Flamed By Twitter While Waiting In Draft Green Room

by

Nobody had a worse night than Will Levis during the NFL Draft’s opening round. The former Kentucky Wildcats quarterback was destined to be a top pick this year. However, that destiny soon turned into a harsh reality. Levis watched as team after team passed on his talents. Unfortunately, the worst part of it all was that all his pain was caught on camera. However, after each pick, the camera would find him attempting to hide his pain. At the same time, Twitter was having some fun at the quarterback’s expense.

Surrounded by family, Levis watched player after player leave the green room. While the support of family in a trying time is needed. However, Levis couldn’t hide in one of the more nerve-wracking times of his life. He isn’t the first draftee to suffer this fate. The most noticeable would be Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Those quarterbacks painfully waited to hear their names called. However, they both were still selected in the first round. Unfortunately for Levis, he was not.

Twitter Reacts To Will Levis’ Painful Night

Fans around Twitter had a lot of fun with Levis’ pain. His free fall almost became more significant than the draft itself. As cameras for ESPN and the NFL Network seemed to be rooting for the demise of Levis. Even with all the agony, he must have been feeling, Levis never wavered in the moment. However, the shots of him staring at his phone are forever burnt in my mind. But the chances of Levis hearing his name sooner rather than later are much higher now. As the second round of the draft begins on Friday night.

One has to believe that the quarterback will be taken early in the second round. However, nothing is guaranteed. But one thing is certain, Levis will not be returning to the green room. Honestly, how could anyone blame him? Thursday night has to go down as one of the most challenging days for his family. However, brighter days will be ahead. Which team do you think will take a chance on Will Levis? Please give us your predictions in our comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Now, it looks like they are finally getting their wish.

Jackson is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. The former league MVP knows what it takes to see success in the league. However, the past two seasons have been less than ideal for the Ravens star. Jackson has had to deal with injuries that have ended his seasons earlier. But Jackson is hopeful that the 2023 regular season will see the Heisman winner back to his dominant ways. The Ravens have put more trust in Jackson with the team’s other off-season moves.

Lamar Jackson Staying In Baltimore Long Term

The Ravens have also added Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The addition of Beckham seemed to be a sign that the team wanted to keep Jackson. However, Jackson never showed his hand along the way. The Ravens official Twitter account just announced the deal with Jackson is for five years. However, the finances of the deal have yet to be announced. One has to think Jackson saw the dollar signs that he was hoping to see. Especially after Jalen Hurts’ mega deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The long sage of Jackson and the Ravens is officially over. The parties got a deal done just before the start of the 2023 NFL Draft. According to other reports this week, there were still teams in the league looking into acquiring Jackson. However, that will no longer be the case. Now Jackson will look to prove the Ravens made the right choice in agreeing to terms with the QB. Do you believe the Ravens made the right move bringing back Lamar Jackson?

Rich Paul Breaks Down How He Would Advise Lamar Jackson

by

Lamar Jackson’s contract negotiations with the Baltimore Ravens could soon be coming to an end. Jackson has been in a deadlock with the Ravens on how both parties could move forward. However, recent reports are saying that all of the drama in Baltimore could soon be over. But that hasn’t stopped everyone from trying to figure out what the issue is between the Ravens and Jackson. On Thursday, Kay Adams asked sports agent Rich Paul what his thoughts are on the situation.

Paul didn’t want to step on any toes. As Jackson is not officially under the banner of any agent. However, Paul believes there has to be someone behind the scenes pulling all the strings for Jackson. While that person may not want the recognition of being Jackson’s agent. However, Paul believes that someone is helping Jackson make these decisions. But Paul didn’t give away any massive news on how Jackson should handle his situation. Check out the interview between Paul and Adams below.

Lamar Jackson Contract Drama Nearing End

Paul didn’t take a stance on either side. As a potential suitor for Jackson if the QB ever decides on an agent. Paul believes this situation is just like every other athlete’s contract negotiation. The leader of the Klutch Sports Group mentioned that every player’s situation is different. Including how the Ravens and Jackson are feeling during these negotiations. Whatever the case may be, Paul is rooting for the two sides to come together. As Paul seems to be a big of Jackson.

The conversation turned into agent speak. Paul tried his best to not choose a side. However, everyone knows an agent’s best interest will always be with his player. However, the Ravens have a huge decision to make regarding Jackson’s future. If a deal isn’t done, it would be hard to see Jackson showing up for training camp.

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.

However, Rodgers and the Packers never appeared in another Super Bowl after 2011. Also, Rodgers knows his window of winning another ring is closing sooner rather than later. The news Jets QB believes the team has the pieces to be a viable threat in the NFL immediately.
