Lone stars: How Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts stack up among NFL ... (Austin American-Statesman)

Super Bowl 57 will be the first to feature two quarterbacks who played high school football in Texas, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

Also, while the former TCU Horned Frog was revolutionizing the quarterback position, Baugh won. He's No. In the 1953 title game, Layne cemented his reputation as a clutch player by leading the Lions on an 80-yard touchdown march in the final minutes of a 17-16 Detroit victory. The No. The Hall of Famer played the game and lived his life in a way that enthralled the nation. He led the league in passing yards seven times, earned 13 Pro Bowl berths as well as two NFL offensive player of the year honors, and led a star-crossed New Orleans Saints franchise to its only Super Bowl win in 2010. The iconic image now hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.) What else can Mahomes do in what already looks like a Hall of Fame career? Well, the former Texas Tech star has played in 80 NFL games over six seasons and already has 24,241 yards and 192 touchdowns, a pace that would challenge some all-time marks. “I relish a little bit of individuality, but sportswriters make such a big unnecessary to-do about the combination of mathematics and football, the so-called associated intellect,” he told SI. In 1966, he helped the team survive the sudden retirement of Brown by throwing for 2,976 yards and 29 touchdowns. Don Meredith, Mount Vernon: This Texan never played for a non-Texas team — from Mount Vernon, he went to SMU and then the Dallas Cowboys, throwing for 17,199 yards and 135 touchdowns in the NFL from 1960 to 1968.

The Kansas City chiefs superstar quarterback looks destined to win the MVP and will look to break a 24-year old NFL curse at next week's Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes will look to break a 24-year standing NFL curse at Super Bowl LVII when he takes his team to Arizona to face the Philadelphia Eagles. But that mattered little to the 27-year-old, who continued to perform at an elite level. But it's not only questionable play that some people had pointed to start questioning whether he could continue being the best in the league, but the loss of superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

In the end the Eagles would have to settle for another Elliott field goal, extending the lead to 27-21 with a minute remaining in the third quarter. First, the Eagles quarterback took a deep shot after a breakdown in the Chiefs secondary and found a wide-open Smith who would have strolled in for a score had he stayed in bounds. It was a pinpoint accurate throw from Hurts, who was playing with poise and patience in the biggest game of his career to keep the Chiefs — and by extension Mahomes — off the field. Kelce had a quiet second quarter but it did not take long for Mahomes to connect with his top target, although it was far from a simple catch for the Kansas City tight end. Mahomes was in pain on the ground in the final stages of the second quarter. He was already hobbled. Hurts rushed for 63 yards in the first half alone and eventually passed the Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback (Steve McNair with 64 in 1999). After a few unsuccessful attempts to punch it in from Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell then appeared to have cashed in on a 3rd-and-2 to score the opening touchdown of the game. Philadelphia’s much-improved quarterback had a moment to forget in the second quarter when Nick Bolton returned a Hurts’ fumble for 36 yards to tie up the game. Hurts had been near-perfect in the opening half, scoring on the ground and through the air as the Eagles took a 14-7 lead. Steve Levy called it a “killer” moment in commentary and in the end it would be the difference as Jalen Hurts’ four-touchdown heroics were not enough for Philadelphia. Referee Carl Cheffers was also just as adamant in the post-game pool report that it was the right call, declaring: “It was a clear case of a jersey grab that caused restriction”.

Rice makes so much sense with what the Chiefs offense wants to be. Rice is much better in the Yards After Catch department and making catches over the middle, using his longer arms and compact frame to make tough, contested catches.

Against Georgia, he showed the ability to create under pressure and outside of structure, but his ability to do it consistently is the big question.

He is the biggest of the remaining edge group and could develop into a bona-fide star if the coaching provided catches up with his unique physical gifts. The Bills offense struggled mightily to get anything going against the Bengals in the divisional a few weeks back and a big part of that is the one-dimensionality of their offense. The team has needed a star running back for some time, and Texas’ Robinson is one of the best to come out of college football in years. Many of the Bengals’ key contributors are free agents this offseason, so the team could go a variety of different ways with this pick. Richardson is a project reminiscent of Cam Newton with near ridiculous running ability and a truly live arm; the Lions are perfectly positioned to redshirt Richardson in the final year of Goff’s contract. Pitt’s Calijah Kancey lived in backfields across the ACC last season, posting 14.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles for loss in two years as a full-time starter, and could end up going much higher in the draft come April. And while the team is in rebuilding mode, a steady, mistake-averse signal caller was exactly what the team needed. Johnson started at left tackle for the Buckeyes in 2022 and was outstanding; he will be a plug-and-play starter in Tennessee. With outstanding size and speed, he is a natural WR1 who will ease Bryce Young’s transition to the NFL with a wide quarterback-friendly catch radius. The Commanders could go elsewhere with this pick but Witherspoon will be too good for them to pass up at No. And while the top of the draft will likely be shaken up by trades in the coming months, I will do my best to predict where teams go with their first-round selections this April. An accurate, creative and mobile passer with prototypical size, Stroud looks pro-ready and should be productive right out of the gate in Carolina.

Robinson is a legitimate top-10 talent regardless of position, with the skill set to affect the offense in both phases. "Despite being the size of some safeties, the early entrant has shown the ability to open his hips and run. With the ball in the air he turns into the receiver and attacks the ball. As part of the passing game, Robinson excels as a receiver with comfortable hands and holds up well in protection. "The Biletnikoff Award winner is a perfect secondary receiver, who can stretch the field and be used as a jet motion threat. "Smith-Njigba also boasts comfort working in traffic and strong hands to fight for the ball, which are necessary traits for a slot target. "The Patriots aren't afraid to select a player in need of additional polish as long as the physical traits are in place of a long-time starter, which is an apt description of Jones," Thorn argued. "Skoronski is a seasoned, polished blocker with the skill set to fill in at multiple positions as the most 'pro-ready' lineman in this class," Thorn stated. "Johnson is a very athletic tackle prospect with underrated competitive toughness, finishing skills and the body control to sustain blocks at a high level," Thorn said. A fully healthy Bresee has the size (6'5", 305 lbs.), power and quickness to consistently reestablish the line of scrimmage along the interior and even provide a handful of reps as an edge defender. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis—instead of hoping one falls to the right spot—is the right call. "Stroud doesn't have a single eye-popping trait, but he checks a lot of the boxes with ease.

2023 NFL Mock Draft: Matt Anderson's mock draft 2.0 (Vikings Wire)

1. Chicago Bears: Georgia DL Jalen Carter · 2. Houston Texans: Alabama QB Bryce Young · 3. Arizona Cardinals: Alabama EDGE Will Anderson Jr. · 4. Indianapolis ...

Torrence is a big guard who can help in the run game and is a mauler at the point of attack. Smith is a fast corner who can line up in the slot or outside and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty at the line of scrimmage by jamming opposing wide receivers. The Jets have found a stable tackle for the foreseeable future after drafting both the offensive rookie of the year, Garrett Wilson, and the defensive rookie of the year, Sauce Gardner. The Commanders already have a great defensive line; now they just need help in the secondary. Bresee is a mammoth of a human being and can move for his size and help rush the passer as well. The Texans go offense again to try and provide Byrce Young with a safety blanket. That being said, the Eagles’ secondary is getting a little older, and with players like Darius Slay entering the final year of their contracts, it’s a perfect time to bring in a young corner to develop and learn behind these veterans with less pressure. He has all the tools you want in a pass rusher and then some. The Colts have been searching for a quarterback ever since Andrew Luck retired, and while they still don’t have a head coach, the quarterback position will likely be the route this team takes. With this selection, the Cardinals hope to solidify their pass rush and improve their defense for the upcoming season. Young is known for his quick decision-making, accuracy, and mobility which will help the Texans find stability at the quarterback position for years to come. I think there is an argument for the Texans to go defense here, especially with new head coach Demeco Ryans, but ultimately quarterback is a huge need and the Texans need to find their franchise quarterback.

My team finally has the No. 1 pick ... and it won't be using it.

This is not a great class for centers, but Schmitz impressed a lot of people at the Senior Bowl and could prove to be the easy succession plan for the Eagles. The Saints could consider moving on, and Robinson is a fantastic player who could step right into Kamara's role. Not the most pressing need for Jacksonville, and I wouldn't be shocked to see them go corner instead of safety. I know other talent evaluators like Forbes, but I believe I'm the high man on him. The Steelers would be pretty happy with an incredible player, too. Murphy's so talented that I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the top five. He certainly has the size and motor to do it, but how he performs in workouts and at the combine could make or break him. There are injury concerns because of time missed while at Clemson, but while he may not have the ceiling of Jalen Carter, Bresee has an excellent chance of being a disruptive force on the interior. 1 QB in this class, but based on the Colts' prior choices at QB, I have a hard time believing they'd go for the smaller Bryce Young. Round 1 - Pick 1 General manager Chris Ballard has made no secret of his willingness to do so, and it strikes me as a logical starting point in my first attempt this year. With the NFL season wrapping up this weekend with the Super Bowl -- have you heard of it?

In my new NFL mock draft, I introduce some names that didn't make the last version as we have new clarity on players who had questions ...

The Eagles are set to lose some members of their defensive line and Van Ness is a versatile player with inside/outside flexibility that can step in and play meaningful snaps in a rotation. New Orleans has seen its offensive line play diminish in recent seasons and would be wise to add more talent to this unit—especially with Cesar Ruiz’s fifth-year option on the horizon. The team would be wise to continue to surround Trevor Lawrence with an abundance of pass-catchers and Oregon State’s Luke Musgrave is a great option at this point in the draft. The storyline this offseason for the Ravens obviously will revolve around the contract dispute between the team and Lamar Jackson. The Chargers are a team that is right on the cusp of being a real contender but they are just missing one or two key pieces on both sides of the football. Mayer is the best in a loaded tight end class and would fit in very nicely with the Packers. The Packers are likely to lose Robert Tonyan in free agency, leaving a void at the tight end position. In that event, the team will need to find a new No. The Falcons haven’t had an impact pass rusher in more than a decade it feels like, and the team desperately needs one in order to field a competitive defense. Wilson fits the mold for a Seahawks edge defender and would give their pass rush a much-needed boost. He is a do-it-all player who can be a penetrator in the pass game and a run stuffer as well. Since I decided not to do trades in this version, I know this won’t be what happens come draft day.

But on Kansas City’s final drive, Mahomes controlled the clock with short passes before breaking through with a 26-yard run to position Kansas City inside the red zone with a little over two minutes remaining. Reid coached the Eagles from 1999 to 2012, and led the team to a Super Bowl berth in the 2004 season. Mahomes knelt on the next two downs before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal to provide the final score. But since trading up to select Mahomes in the first round of the 2017 N.F.L. Facing third-and-8, Mahomes again targeted Smith-Schuster with a short throw but cornerback James Bradberry was called for defensive holding on the play, a penalty which gave Kansas City a new set of downs. Three plays later, Mahomes threw a 4-yard touchdown to the rookie Skyy Moore to give Kansas City a 35-27 lead with just over nine minutes remaining. Hurts carried in a 2-yard run, his third touchdown carry, before punching in a 2-point conversion that tied the game at 35-35 with just over five minutes remaining. With the additions of Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster in free agency, Mahomes adapted his style to look for shorter throws, which proved effective throughout the season and helped fuel Kansas City in the second half Sunday. The scamper seemed to embolden Mahomes against the Eagles’ stout defense before Pacheco ran in a 1-yard score to narrow Philadelphia’s lead to 3 points. “You look back and you reflect on the things maybe you could have done something more, maybe you could have tried to done something that could change the outcome of the game and that’s the way it was.” With just over one minute left in the first half and Kansas City trailing by 21-14, Mahomes scrambled outside the pocket but Eagles linebacker T.J. Three days later, he added the second Super Bowl victory of his career, throwing for 182 yards and three touchdowns to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35.
