After a disappointing 2024 NFL season, Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright guarantees to have a great 2025 NFL season
In a total of 15 games, Jaylen Wright accumulated three receptions and 68 carries for 249 yards–resulting in 3.7 yards per carry. In the first six games of the 2024 NFL season, Wright averaged 5.3 yards per carry, but in the rest of the season–his average dropped to 1.8 yards per carry.
He did not score a single touchdown. One of the major reasons? The offensive line of the Miami Dolphins derailed in the second half of the 2024 NFL season. It thoroughly affected the rookie running back. But there's no going back and correcting his past. Now, all he can do is better his present. And for that matter, Wright discussed his upcoming expectations for himself with Kay Adams, the host of 'Up & Adams' on FanDuel TV.
Weight also spilled beans on the Cheetah! Our very own wide receiver–Tyreek Hill.

The 22-year-old RB elaborated, 'I know I can be a top back in this league. I feel like just my skill set, my ability, and the system I'm in–it sets me up to be great.

Adams then asked former RB for the University of Tennessee Athletics' college football team–the Tennessee Volunteers– 'Have you been focusing on your pass game? There were like a 120 targets to running backs. Not a lot went your way. Is that something you're working on?'
Jaylen explained, 'Oh, yeah, sure.
The pass game–I'm gonna be way more involved this year. Way more involved just in everything–running game, pass game, pass protection–everything. It's going to be really good.'

Kay Adams: 'Has Tyreek Hill ever given you a tip on catching the ball?'
Jaylen chuckled slightly and responded, 'I mean, not really. I mean, catching the ball, just you know, looking the ball in–it's as simple as it sounds, it's hard to do, like you know, when you're tired, things are just going so fast, that's when you lock in.
That's what the offseason is for, sporting–working all those things.'
Jaylen Wright calls Cheetah's play crazy
Kay Adams: 'Have you seen Tyreek Hill do stuff that you've never seen before?'
Jaylen shared, 'Most definitely, as soon as I got there. They were showing clips, film, pass games from the previous year. Tyreek–his speed is crazy, it's hard to guard. It looks crazy, the stuff he does on the field. And even now, at his age, running the ten-one is pretty crazy.
Like, if he kept going, he could get in the nines. Tyreek's a great person, great player. Really excited you know- what's he gonna do this year.'

Mike Vrabel just broke the internet with blood on his face after Patriots-Commanders brawl at camp
Mike Vrabel jumps into Patriots-Commanders brawl and walks out with blood on his face. (Image via X) If you thought NFL training camp was just about drills and walkthroughs, Mike Vrabel just reminded everyone that it's also a battlefield. During Tuesday's joint practice between the New England Patriots and the Washington Commanders, things got so heated that a full-blown brawl broke out and Vrabel, in peak 'football guy' fashion, didn't hesitate to throw himself right into the chaos. Mike Vrabel proves he's all-in, not just yelling toughness, but literally wearing it Here's what went down, rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson got into it with a Commanders defender after a heated rep during pass protection. Pushes turned into punches, and both sidelines swarmed in, a classic preseason pile-up. But the jaw-dropping part? Mike Vrabel, New England's new head coach, charged into the middle of the fight to break it up and came out of the mess bleeding. No joke. Cameras caught Vrabel with a gash on his right cheek, reportedly from accidental contact with rookie offensive lineman Will Campbell. The guy wasn't just coaching the Patriots, he was bleeding for them. What makes this story even more legendary? Vrabel didn't storm off or call it quits. He shrugged it off, stayed in the drill, and even cracked a classic Vrabel line to the guys around him, 'The guy couldn't get through and tried starting something. I wasn't gonna let that shit slide though' That's not just coach-speak, that's a man sending a message. If there were any doubts about whether Vrabel could lead the Patriots into a new era after Bill Belichick, this moment pretty much erased them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Exclusive game bonus awaits POPG Learn More Undo Veterans and young guys alike were reportedly hyped by how Vrabel handled it.

Titans hit the road for joint practices and preseason games against Bucs and Falcons
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans practiced in Music City on Wednesday morning and then headed out for their longest preseason road trip since the franchise left Texas in 1997. HT Image Second-year coach Brian Callahan scheduled not one, but two sets of joint practices around back-to-back road games starting Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sees nine nights away from Nashville as a way to create more of an old training camp vibe for a young team. 'That's sort of the intent of the whole trip,' Callahan said. 'Spend some time, get a chance to grow together, and then get to go play against some other teams.' Callahan also wants to hear the reviews from the Buccaneers, then the Atlanta Falcons on what they think of how the Titans compete. He sees this as a chance for a starting point of what the Titans can be this year. 'And get a change to do some things as a team on the road, some events together, things like that,' Callahan said. 'It's something I'm really looking forward to. Can't wait.' The Titans, who went 3-14 in Callahan's debut season, will be away from Nashville for nine straight nights. They won't practice again in Nashville until Aug. 19 before wrapping up the preseason by hosting Minnesota on Aug. 22. After opening this preseason Saturday night against Tampa Bay, the Titans go to Atlanta for two joint practices and a game Aug. 15. Left tackle Dan Moore has had only one joint practice with Pittsburgh, and that was last year. This will be a bit of a new experience, though Moore is familiar to going away to camp with the Steelers a regular at Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 'Obviously, we're on a business trip, but we'll have some free time, some downtime," Moore said. "We'll be in the hotel. Guys can hang out, do stuff together and go places, go eat, whatever. And I think that's a good time for us to just bond as team and build chemistry.' Bonding can only help a franchise that has added 37 free agents, nine drafted rookies and five more players added off waivers through Sunday — a total of 51 players in training camp. Safety Quandre Diggs isn't new after playing eight games for Tennessee last season before going on injured reserve. He signed Tuesday, and the Titans are easing him back into the mix. He recognizes a lot of faces on the roster, including his cousin, rookie quarterback Cam Ward. 'It's different when you walk in the locker room and you see your family, like real family," the three-time Pro Bowl safety said of Ward. "And so it was cool.' Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson has been trying to throw every look possible at Ward to help prep the No. 1 draft pick overall for the season opener Sept. 7 at Denver. Now the Titans will get a glimpse of how other NFL defenses might challenge the rookie. 'He's a grown man to me,' wide receiver Calvin Ridley said of Ward. 'He's a confident guy, he's a guy that wants to be good.' ___ AP NFL:
