Chiefs DB Trent McDuffie discusses his status among the league's elite cornerbacks

At Monday's training camp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Trent McDuffie responded to the increased visibility he has garnered around the league for his exceptional play. "I think every year is a new year, and you kind of want to prove that you still have it. You know what I mean? Even in nickel, I feel like I still have (something) to prove," said McDuffie, "Even when I'm outside first, anytime you step on this field, I think the whole team feels like they still have something to prove. I think that just makes it a little bit easier when you go out there and see the guys to your left, the guy to your right, all giving 100% effort. And this year for me, it's really just about how well I can consistently be doing my job, you know, week in, week out." The former Washington Huskies star debuted on the annual NFL Top 100 countdown at No. 81 this offseason, showing increased respect from around the league. The multiple-time All-Pro's career continues to evolve to new heights yearly as the team's top cornerback. "I know things happen throughout the season, but not letting those small bumps affect me mentally," said McDuffie. "Not letting those small bumps knock me off what I was originally doing and continue to just push through, keep thriving. That's what we do here at St. Joe. You got to push through these hot days, you got to push through these long drive drills, and that's something that I really respect about (Head) Coach (Andy) Reid and how he does this, and I think it really helps us through the season." McDuffie was a first-team All-Pro in 2023 and a second-team selection in 2024.

Wisconsin football offers one of Sacramento State's class of 2027 commits

Wisconsin football extended an offer to class of 2027 wide receiver Chance McPike Jr. on Monday. Notably, McPike committed to Sacramento State on July 4. His offer sheet has grown since that date, with Wisconsin, Purdue and Eastern Kentucky all joining his recruitment. The Paducah, Kentucky, native also holds offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Tennessee and others. 247Sports has yet to assign a star rating or position ranking to the 6-foot-1 wide receiver. Despite his commitment to Sacramento State, On3/Rivals lists Missouri as the current favorite in his recruitment at 50%, with Ole Miss (22.9%) and Tennessee (19.6%) also top contenders. McPike Jr. joins Wisconsin's loaded group of wide receiver offers in the class of 2027. That list also includes five-star prospects Monshun Sales and Lawrence Britt, as well as top-ranked four-stars Myles McAfee, Quentin Burrell, Kesean Bowman (Oregon commit), Dakota Guerrant and Damani Warren. Wisconsin has yet to land a commitment in the 2027 cycle. Its primary focus remains on 2026, where the program's class of 14 commitments ranks just No. 60 nationally and No. 16 in the Big Ten.

Sean Payton: Dre Greenlaw plays like Mike Tyson

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw made the most of the first day in pads at Broncos training camp. Greenlaw filled gaps and delivered hits throughout team drills in Denver and head coach Sean Payton said you didn't even have to be watching to know that Greenlaw was the one landing blows. Payton said "you can hear it" when Greenlaw makes a hit and then went on to compare his style to another knockout artist from a different sport. "He plays like Mike Tyson," Payton said, via the team's website. "He's tough, he's physical. He's built that way. There's not a lot of leaky yardage. Some guys [allow that]. He's a knock-back tackler. They stop where he hits them. There's an intensity to how he plays. He's one of those players that if you put the film on and didn't say anything, at some point early, you'd ask, 'Who is this guy?'" Greenlaw was limited to two games for the 49ers last year because of injuries and a quad injury interrupted his first offseason in Denver, so one key for the Broncos will be making sure Greenlaw's healthy enough to deploy that physicality on a regular basis. If he is, facing an already tough Broncos defense will be even less enjoyable for opposing offenses in 2025.
