Chase Edmonds gushes with praise for Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey
The Denver Broncos drafted RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft earlier this offseason. In a quest to continue to build around sophomore quarterback Bo Nix, the drafting of Harvey is an attempt to further stabilize the running game as a component of head coach Sean Payton's precision pass attack.
Chase Edmonds, via NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football,' recently gushed how excited he is for Harvey to join the Broncos. He even warned Broncos Country to get their 'Kool-Aid' ready because Harvey is bringing the 'juice.'
"I absolutely love this guy," Edmonds said. "You talk about juice, you talk about the ability to get skinny, get back out to the outside. Broncos Country, let me tell you something right now: Get your Kool-Aid ready, because this brother is bringing the juice."
With UCF, Harvey rushed for 1,577 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Hopefully, Harvey can replicate this production in 2025 with Denver.

Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers
Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders were fortunate enough to have Georgia tight end Brock Bowers fall into their lap with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. His rookie season was one to remember, as he caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. Advertisement Bowers earned Pro Bowl honors in his first professional campaign, and he was also named a First-Team All-Pro. He broke several Raiders records during his rookie year, as well as NFL tight end or rookie records. His impressive season has also earned him a rightful spot among the best tight ends in the league. Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (89).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Legendary NFL tight end Greg Olsen, who went to three Pro Bowls and earned two All-Pro honors in his career, spoke recently on an episode of Pardon My Take about what makes Bowers such a special player. "That is just unique, to be that tall, that long, super linear, in (the SEC), and you look like the fastest guy on the field," Olsen said. "If he was able to come out of the draft after his second year, ... He would have been a top 10 pick." Advertisement Olsen also has a great understanding of both head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith because he played alongside them for the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He spoke about what Raider Nation should expect for this season and beyond from Bowers and the new regime. "He's uniquely talented," Olsen said. "I'll be interested to see how that plays out now with the new regime and Pete Carroll. Geno loves his tight ends, but they are going to run the ball. ... As far as just a talent, I think he's the best tight end prospect to come out of the draft in the last 10-15 years. His rookie year matched it, if not exceeded it, which was pretty incredible." Bowers and the Raiders will open up the 2025 NFL season on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday, September 7.

Tennessee overcomes controversial call, defeats UCLA to reach Women's CWS semifinals
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Laura Mealer's RBI single in the ninth inning gave Tennessee a 5-4 win over UCLA on Sunday that lifted the Volunteers into the Women's College World Series semifinals and eliminated the Bruins. The game nearly had a controversial finish. UCLA's Megan Grant hit a two-run blast with two outs in the top of the seventh inning that appeared to tie the score at 4-all. There was an umpire review that appeared to involve whether or not Grant touched home plate. After a nearly 15-minute delay, the home run ruling was upheld because it was determined on the field that the runs were scored, and the home plate umpire announced that the play was not reviewable. Tennessee coach Karen Weekly said Tennessee noticed that Grant's teammates touched her and helped her back to home plate. Weekly believed that was illegal, which would have turned Grant's homer into the third out, so the Volunteers notified the umpires. Had Grant been called out, the game would have ended with Tennessee winning 4-2. 'I think everybody but four people (umpires) saw the play at the plate,' Weekly said. 'We saw in the dugout that she missed the plate, and then we saw that her teammates had kind of pushed her back. And by rule, that should have been nullified.' Grant said she didn't remember much after the 251-foot blast. 'It was just kind of a blackout moment." she said. 'I know going into that bat I just wanted to keep my mind right, stay aggressive. And honestly, after the swing, I did blackout indeed. After the fact, I just kind of trusted God with everything. The tensions were high and everything, and that's just where I just laid my pressure on.' Even after giving up the homer, Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens recovered and went the distance for the win. The first-team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American gave up four earned runs on 11 hits and struck out seven. 'Well, during that lengthy review/not review, we talked about if it comes back and it goes against us and we're tied up, then we keep playing," Weekly said. 'So we just kept putting them in that mindset — I think prepare for the worst. And then if the best happens, great.' Some of the Tennessee players were dancing near the circle during the review. 'No matter what the call was going to be, we're flushing it and worrying about the next pitch,' Pickens said. Taylor Pannell's two-run homer put Tennessee up 4-2 in the fifth to help set up the dramatic ending. She had three hits. UCLA's Alexis Ramirez and Sofia Mujica hit solo homers and Jordan Woolery had four hits. The Bruins (55-13) were trying to become the first semifinalist from the Big Ten since Michigan in 2015. Tennessee (47-16) will play Texas on Monday in the semifinals and will have the beat the Longhorns twice to advance to the best-of-three championship series. Texas will need to win just once to reach the championship series for the third time in four years. Pickens threw 148 pitches, but Weekly said her ace will be ready to go against the Longhorns. 'This is an absolute stud in volleyball and basketball and softball and could be playing D1 in any sport. So I think that works in her favor. Tonight's going to be all about recovery and hydration. There's no tomorrow. So Karlyn's going to be ready to come out tomorrow and fight for her team.'
