NFL Prospect Injured In Fatal Crash

by

A future NFL Draft prospect is now just hoping to overcome injuries sustained in a fatal accident. Louisiana wide receiver Michael Jefferson is recovering from an incident in which his vehicle collided with another on Monday night. According to TMZ, the incident occurred in Mobile, Alabama. Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash with Jefferson has passed away. According to the police report, the driver of the other vehicle was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Jefferson’s talents on the field had his name high on many draft boards. The Louisiana receiver is considered one of the top 30 best available receivers in this year’s upcoming draft. However, with recent events, Jefferson’s journey to play football professional football may take a haunting detour. The incident involving Jefferson is a terrifying reminder that nothing in life is guaranteed. There has been no word on the specifics of Jefferson’s injuries. But according to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the star receiver has required multiple surgeries.

NFL Prospect Michael Jefferson In Serious Condition

Jefferson’s career was one that everyone had an eye on. According to TMZ, “Jefferson, who began his college career at Alabama State, was a star Louisiana last season — logging 51 catches for 810 yards and seven TDs. He showed up to the combine in Indianapolis last month and performed well, running a 4.56 40-yard dash.” Those numbers and speed are something that would have for sure caught the eye of scouts around the league.

Jefferson’s NFL dreams may have to be on hold for the time being. However, his health is the most important thing right now. The draft is just mere days away, and a story like this is hard to fathom. Fans of Louisiana’s football program will rally around Jefferson and his family during this trying time. There has been no word on how the horrifying accident transpired on Monday night. The only thing that we can shift our focus on is hoping the medical professionals tending to Jefferson can help him overcome such a tragedy.

Packers Exec Breaks Silence On Aaron Rodgers Trade

by

The Aaron Rodgers trade saga has sadly entered another week. The Green Bay Packers seem to be in no rush to make the move. However, the media seem to be chomping at the bit to see the trade become official. It’s no secret that Rodgers is ready for a change. The Packers QB has publicly announced his intentions to be with the New York Jets this coming season. But it seems the Packers are not ready to accept any terms from the Jets. Packers president Mark Murphy recently discussed the situation.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN recently had the chance to ask Murphy where the process currently is. Whereas Murphy gave everyone what they already know. Which is a big bunch of nothing. “Yeah I can’t really get into that,” Mark Murphy said. “I know Brian (Gutekunst) and Joe (Douglas) have been talking.” It seems Murphy has decided to lay the questions at the door of Gutekunst and Douglas. The situation between Rodgers and the Packers has been a very well-kept secret.

Aaron Rodgers Trade News Seems Dead In The Water

It is inevitable that Rodgers will be a member of the Jets next season. But what could be the real reason behind the Packers holding up this deal? Compensation is definitely a piece of the puzzle. However, one has to wonder if the Packers are listening to other offers. It was rumored last week that the San Francisco 49ers could be interested in bringing Rodgers in. The Packers shipping Rodgers to a destination he doesn’t want to go to would definitely heat up the rivalry between the two.

The Packers and Aaron Rodgers accomplished a lot together. Rodgers helped lead the team to a Super Bowl championship. Along with owning the NFC North for over a decade. The marriage now has an expiration. However, no one seems to know when the divorce will be final. Are the Packers fielding offers from other teams? Or do you believe the franchise is trying to see how desperate the Jets become in the situation? Leave your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.

New York Giants Thibodeaux Shining On And Off The Field

Marcus Spears Believes OBJ Can Be The Guy In Baltimore

by

Marcus Spears is a staple of ESPN’s football media personalities. On Monday, the former LSU Tiger gave his thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens’ recent signing of Odell Beckham Jr. Spears believes the Ravens have a potential return of a superstar on their hands. However, that statement is only good under one condition. That condition being that OBJ can stay healthy during his time in Baltimore. Health has been the biggest issue for OBJ in recent years. However, that didn’t stop the Ravens from attempting to resurrect his career.

“If he stays healthy … this could be magic.” Spears has a great point on OBJ’s potential success with the Ravens. The latest time the star receiver was in action, he was on pace to be the Super Bowl MVP for the Los Angeles Rams. However, a knee injury took away that chance and sidelined Beckham for the entire 2022 season. Beckham has only appeared in 16 games just two times in his eight-year career. A number that doesn’t resonate with the Ravens guaranteeing the former Ram fifteen million dollars. But Beckham’s signing could be more than just bringing in a big name at receiver.

Marcus Spears Still Believes In Beckham’s Talent

Beckham’s signing could potentially be a gesture of goodwill toward the team’s frustrated QB, Lamar Jackson. Spears included that this duo could be the best the Ravens have seen since Jackson’s career started. However, Jackson has seemingly made his feelings known that he wants out of Baltimore. But the Ravens are not seeing it that way. Spears even mentioned that with Jackson, Beckham could become the first Pro-Bowl receiver the Ravens have had with Jackson on the roster. Hence why Beckham’s availability will be vital to the team’s success.

The Ravens have made a splash. Specifically with a position that they have seemingly neglected in the past few seasons. Now the future could be bright for the Ravens. However, they must bring back their former MVP QB. An issue that is easier said than done. Does Marcus Spears have a point about Beckham’s talent? Will Beckham stay healthy for an entire season? These questions will not be answered for quite some time. However, we’d love to see your thoughts on Beckham in Baltimore in the comment section.

Rob Gronkowski Rules Out NFL Return

by

Rob Gronkowski is a no-doubt Hall of Fame. After being drafted 42nd overall in the 2010 draft, Gronk went on to win four Super Bowls and put up over 9000 receiving yards. Gronkowski also led the league in receiving touchdowns in his sophomore year. He retired in 2022 after a second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronk goes down as an all-time great both in the league and at his position.

However, there was speculation as to whether Gronk would stay retired. He had briefly retired during the 2019 offseason before ultimately choosing to follow Tom Brady to Tampa. While a reunion with Brady seemed like Gronk’s strongest route back, Brady retired in early 2023. Additionally, recent comments by Gronk shut the door on a potential return. with Brady’s retirement earlier in 2023.

Gronk Says “No Chance” Of NFL Return

Speaking with TMZ, Gronkowski shut down any rumors that he might be returning to the NFL. “There’s no chance anymore,” Gronkowski said, “I’m happily retired.” Gronkowski went on to say that he had instead taken up Pickleball in his spare time, boasting about how he beat his brothers Chris and Gord who “play with pros all the time”. “I’m still competing, I’m still winning, so I don’t even need to go back to football.” Gronkowski’s statement left no room for interpretation, just in case any NFL front offices thought they could get him back.

However, Gronkowski’s declaration does not mean that he’s completely stepped away from football. Gronk is set to serve as a team captain for the Arizona Wildcats Spring Game. Gronkowski is tied for ninth in career receiving touchdowns at Arizona. The event will see him face off against his brother Chris, who spent time as a running back at Arizona. The game will take place on April 15. The Wildcats will look to improve on a poor 5-7 2022 season. Gronkowski has also expressed his willingness to join the broadcasting booth. Specifically, he has previously stated that he would be happy to join Tom Brady when the former QB begins as an analyst for Fox in 2024. But one thing is clear, Rob Gronkowski will never suit up for another NFL game.

Travis Kelce’s Less Than Amazing First Pitch: Video

by

Travis Kelce is great at many things. The Kansas City tight end is proven he has the skills to host a podcast. He even has the skills to host SNL. However, the football phenom may have to retire his throwing arm. Kelce delivered the ceremonial first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The pitch was a less-than-ideal attempt at hitting the strike zone. Kelce will now join the likes of John Wall and 50 Cent on the list of worst first-pitch attempts.

The throw from Kelce made it to home plate. But it had to roll just to get there. Kelce isn’t going to live this one down for a few weeks. When his brother Jason gets to speak with him next, Travis will hope the video has been scrubbed from the internet. Of course, Kelce was a good sport about the event. The future Hall-of-Fame tight end has always shown to be a good sport. Unless you’re the mayor of Cincinnati. Then you better keep Kelce’s name and his team out of your mouth. Check out the video of Kelce’s pitch below.

Travis Kelce Should Stick To His Day Job

Kelce had hopes of bringing the heat, which looks like he did. But in the process, he almost took out Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber. Who I believe is in no relation to another popular Bieber. Kelce was showing off his Cleveland pride on Friday. The former Cincinnati Bearcat is from Cleveland. The city of Cleveland has many stars that have roots in the city. The most notable Cleveland athlete being LeBron James. Evidently, Kelce should ask LeBron for some notes before his next first pitch outing.

Travis Kelce will more than likely sit out a first pitch for a little while. If I were him, I would blame the throw on a cold shoulder. Most first-pitch volunteers don’t get a lot of time to warm up. The Chiefs organization may hope that was Kelce’s last throwing attempt for a while too. Because the team will want him to be at 100% within the next few months. Do you think you could make a better throw than Kelce? What are some other memorable first-pitch attempts? Sound off in the comment section.

Chris Jones Claps Back at Tyreek Hill on Social Media

by

Count Chris Jones as the first Kansas City Chiefs player to publicly acknowledge Tyreek Hill’s recent comments. Earlier this week, Hill spoke to the media about his Miami Dolphins playing the Chiefs. Hill didn’t hold back on his former team. As the star receiver sent a warning to his former squad. The message didn’t go over well with Chiefs fans. As it seems, it didn’t go over well with the team either. Jones was quick to respond to the former Kansas City star.

“May God bless him.” That was the tweet sent out by Jones on Wednesday. Trash talk has been a vocal point of discussion for the past few weeks. Simultaneously, the trash talk between these two has only spiced up anticipation for the game. It was a surprising move when the Chiefs traded Hill to Miami last season. However, it seems as if Hill couldn’t be happier with the move. Hill also discussed that he only sees himself playing for a few more years before calling it a career. Evidently, Hill wants to hang up his cleats after the 2025 season.

Chris Jones Ready For Dolphins Matchup.

However, not all was lost after the Hill trade. Because the team is the current reigning Super Bowl champions. The Chiefs defeated the Eagles back in February. Claiming the team’s second championship under Andy Reid. The Kansas City offense hasn’t missed a beat in the absence of Hill. But the hopes are high in Miami this season. Basically, the Dolphins are being seen as heavy hitters in the AFC East. A division that has been owned by the Buffalo Bills.

The trash talk has already begun ahead of the NFL 2023 regular season. But this will not be the only matchup fans can’t wait to see. The Chiefs will also be playing the Eagles in a Super Bowl matchup. However, the 2023 schedule has yet to be released. Something tells me the Chiefs-Dolphins matchup will find a primetime slot. Who do you think will take home the bragging rights? Will Chris Jones make Tyreek Hill eat his words? Drop your predictions in the comment section.

Cincinnati Bengals Star Recharged After New Evidence Surfaces

by

A Cincinnati Bengals star will now have an old issue brought to light again. Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s aggravated menacing charge will be re-opened by the city of Cincinnati Police. The incident was filed back in February of this year. As reported, Mixon allegedly held a gun to the head of a person during a road rage incident. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the charges were dismissed the next day so police could continue the investigation.

The alleged incident supposedly took place on January 21st of this year. According to the statement released by the Cincinnati Police, “This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process. To preserve a fair and impartial judicial process for all parties involved, no investigatory details or evidence will be disclosed outside of official court proceedings.” The Cincinnati Bengals have already publicly commented on the latest news regarding Mixon and the alleged incident.

The club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon,” the Bengals stated in a recent release. “The club is monitoring the situation and will not comment further at this time.” As news continues to release on the matter, the Bengals are still looking into the matter. This isn’t Mixon’s first time dealing with a serious legal issue. Also in college, Mixon was seen striking a woman on video. The incident caused Mixon’s draft stock to plummet. As it was released prior to the NFL running back being selected. However, the Bengals decided to take a chance on the former Oklahoma star.

Now Mixon could be facing serious repercussions if found guilty of this alleged incident. Mixon is expected to appear in court on April 19th. If found guilty of this incident, Mixon’s only troubles may not be legal issues. The NFL and the Bengals will have to review the incident for a possible suspension from the league. However, the legal ramifications far out weight what Mixon’s future playing career will look like. For the latest breaking news regarding the NFL, stay with us here at HNHH.

Sean McVay Update On Injured Matthew Stafford

by

The Los Angeles Rams were a different team without Matthew Stafford last season. The Rams suffered from a serious Super Bowl hangover last season. As Stafford was sidelined for most of the year. The Rams missed out on the NFL Playoffs. However, the 2022 regular season is a thing of the past. Rams head coach Sean McVay is ready to move on to this coming season. Having his quarterback healthy would help with the pressure on McVay. Will Stafford be ready to start the season?

According to McVay, Stafford has no limitations physically heading into this off-season. The news is huge for the Rams. Indeed the Rams traded a lot to go all in on the 2022 Super Bowl. As a result, the Rams won the Super Bowl and cashed in on their big season. However, since that Super Bowl victory, the sky has been falling for the franchise. Including a disaster of a Super Bowl parade. Not only have they had to deal with Stafford’s injuries. But the team has seen big-time player’s like Jalen Ramsey leave Los Angeles.

Matthew Stafford Is Key To Rams Success

Many around the league were happy to see Stafford find quick success with the Rams. The former number-one overall pick spent over a decade with the Detroit Lions. A decade with Detroit is enough to double the physical age of any player. The two greatest players in Lions history retired due to health issues. That being Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson. However, following his exit from Detroit, Matthew Stafford has yet to be healthy in his first two years with the Rams.

Stafford is known as one of the toughest players in the league. Needless to say, last season’s setback won’t affect the Rams quarterback you see on the field this season. The Rams are looking for a quick turnaround with the roster they have. The Rams are the home of the best defensive player in the league, Aaron Donald. Certainly, having both a healthy Stafford and Donald will give them a chance to make an immediate impact in 2023. For the latest NFL news, stay right here at HNHH.

Cam Newton Willing To Take Backup Role In NFL Return

by

Cam Newton has been vocal about returning to the NFL. The former league MVP believes that he can still be a valuable piece to a team in search of a QB. Recently the former pride of Auburn discussed how he can fit onto an NFL roster. Even saying that he is willing to be a backup to certain starting QBs. However, Newton didn’t rule out wanting to be a starting QB again. In his discussion on his playing future, Newton mentioned there are not 32 QBs better than him.

That statement could be hard to argue with the former MVP. But when Newton was last seen in the league, he wasn’t having a memorable run. Newton last appeared in the league with the Carolina Panthers. The franchise that he helped build into a winner once upon a time. However, 2021 was a different time. Newton appeared in only eight games for the Panthers that season. Starting in just five of those appearances. Injuries can be to blame for slowing down the former Heisman winner. However, Newton believes he can still play at an elite level.

Cam Newton Lists QBs He Would Backup For

While Newton believes in his talents, he understands that some teams don’t. Which is why he understands coming in as a backup. Newton mentioned a few names that he would be okay with backing up. That list includes Deshaun Watson, Sam Howell, Malik Willis, Justin Fields, Tua, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Aaron Rodgers. Newton even mentioned being a mentor to future QBs in the league. His list of names was long. Which could mean that Newton is chomping at the bit to rejoin the league.

Taking the chance on Newton being a starting QB would seem like a risk. However, having the former number-one overall pick as a backup could be appealing. Newton is a proven winner with a lot of knowledge of the game. If he wants to be a backup as he claims, then it couldn’t hurt a team to bring Newton in for a tryout. Having a veteran like Newton teaching a young QB could do wonders for a franchise looking toward the future. Do you believe Newton is serious about being a backup?
