Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte details battle with gambling addiction

Some people hit the slots, the tables, the apps, spend what they can spend, and go home - or put the phone down. Not me. I'd wake up early in the morning, and the first thing I'd do was bet. I'd stay up late and bet. All day. All night. I had insomnia, so if I woke up in the middle of the night, phone next to the bed, I'd bet. Any little money I had, it was going straight to FanDuel.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos has dropped his appeal for another year of college eligibility and declared for the NFL draft. Castellanos thanked family, friends, coaches and teammates and "everyone who has supported me along this journey" in a statement posted on social media. Just Win Management Group, which represented Castellanos during his legal fight, said it supported his decision. "While the unique facts and circumstances surrounding the petition for an additional year of eligibility did create a path of viability, after careful review and consideration, we full support Mr. Castellanos' decision to forego that continued pursuit and focus his attention on preparing for the 2026 NFL draft," the agency said in a statement.

Nico Iamaleava will remain with UCLA in 2026, he announced Monday, with the school also announcing that the quarterback is "forgoing the 2026 NFL draft." The redshirt sophomore transferred to UCLA from Tennessee prior to the 2025 season, in which the Bruins finished just 3-9 and coach DeShaun Foster was fired after an 0-3 start. UCLA has since hired James Madison coach Bob Chesney, who guided the Dukes to the College Football Playoff, losing 51-34 at Oregon on Saturday.

The Cowboys Mock Draft Philly Would Veto Immediately " Inside The Star

Let's start with the obvious: this mock draft would never happen in real life. Not because the trade is reckless, or the value is questionable, and definitely not because Philadelphia suddenly grew a conscience. It wouldn't happen because the Eagles would rather eat a bad contract than accidentally help the Cowboys do something that resembles competency. And honestly? I respect the hate.

The Draft Value Chart Doesn't Lie: Dallas Shouldn't Trade Pick 25 Inside The Star

When I pulled up the draft value chart, the numbers told a very different story.

Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez has improved physicality this season

His "contact courage" has been noted by coaches and teammates as an often overlooked but critical ingredient to the Patriots' defensive success. A third-quarter play in a Week 11 win over the New York Jets -- when 6-foot-1, 205-pound Gonzalez jacked up receiver Tyler Johnson, leading receiver Isaiah Williams to run into Johnson's back on a sweep -- is one notable example of Gonzalez's recent success in that area.

In a sport dominated by some of the world's fastest and strongest humans, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is neither. That was evident during the 2013 NFL draft process for Allen, a 6-foot-2, 211-pounder whom many analysts considered the top receiver. But Allen had suffered a season-ending PCL injury in his final season at the University of California. He ran a 4.71-second 40-yard dash at his pro day -- well behind Marquise Goodwin's 4.27 time that led receivers at the combine.

Will Campbell shocks PFF's rookie rankings after Patriots' Week 9 win

The New England Patriots are sporting a handsome 7-2 record after nine games, making even the rosiest predictions look tepid. One reason is that Mike Vrabel's first overall Patriots' draft pick, left tackle Will Campbell, is crushing Pro Football Focus's (PFF's) rookie ratings weekly. For some, it was a risky pick who'd project only to an NFL guard position. The reason was his shorter arms, which measured a whopping 3/8" shorter than the supposed requisite minimum.

Drake Maye's next Patriots weapon is already becoming glaringly obvious

Lemon doesn't jump off the page at first glance. He's undersized at 5-foot-11, and he doesn't have the blazing speed of some other prospects. But the USC wideout is a technician on the field. He can operate in the slot or on the outside, using his lateral quickness and impressive feel for zone coverage to consistently find open space. The wide out has sure hands, rarely dropping passes that come his way.
