Former Super Bowl champ reveals what he told Patriots rookie Will Campbell
Former Super Bowl champ reveals what he told Patriots rookie Will Campbell Former legendary NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth revealed the advice he gave to New England Patriots rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell. The two have developed a relationship with both being born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana. Both also attended and played for LSU before being drafted to the NFL. 'I've told him, 'Man, I can't wait to watch him do what he does and build this team with an identity that I know he'll have,'' Whitworth said, per NESN's Sean T. McGuire. 'He gets to carry on the 318 legacy now. He talks about being a fan of mine, but now I get to just be a fan of his.' Whitworth knows a thing or two about creating a legacy as a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time First-Team All-Pro and Super Bowl champion. He was one of the most dependable offensive linemen in the NFL during his run, and he hopes Campbell will be able to carry on their state legacy. As the fourth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, Campbell is coming into New England with the highest expectations. So far, he has held his own against tough veteran opposition in the offseason practices. It's all preparation for when the pads finally come on and real football begins later this summer.

PFF believes Texans have a top-three QB-WR duo in 2025 with C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins
PFF believes Texans have a top-three QB-WR duo in 2025 with C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins Nico Collins is regarded as a consensus top 10 receiver and the go-to target for the Houston Texans' passing game. C.J. Stroud might have had his slumps at times in 2024, but he's still a rising standout entering Year 3. Combined, where does the duo rank among QB-WR tandems for the 2025? According to Pro Football Focus, the back-to-back AFC South champions may feature an elite combination in the passing game that could take the league by storm this fall. PFF recently ranked every team's top QB/WR/TE duo entering the upcoming season. To no surprise, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase led the way after leading the league in passing and receiving yards last season. At No. 2, Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown catapulted several duos following their route to winning a Super Bowl over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans. At No. 3? Collins and Stroud cemented themseleves as the next great duo and could be coming for the second spot if both can stay healthy. "Stroud's 2024 campaign was largely the same as his rookie year in terms of PFF grade (80.4 PFF passing grade in 2023 compared to 77.5 in 2024), and Nico Collins has been his safety blanket," PFF's Trevor Sikkema wrote. "Collins has generated a 117.8 passer rating when targeted over the past two seasons with Stroud, which ranks sixth in the NFL." Collins, who signed a three-year extension ahead of the 2024 season, was well on his way to leading the league in receptions and receiving yards before a hamstring injury sidelined him for five games. He still managed to finish with over 1,000 receiving yards and seven touchdowns while leading Houston in every category. Part of Stroud's "sophomore slump" was caused by the lack of consistent weapons. Collins wasn't the only receiver to miss multiple games, leaving the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year out to dry. Tank Dell missed three games and likely won't return in 2025 after undergoing multiple leg surgeries. Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs was out after eight games because of a torn ACL. Stroud looks to be the next big name and a consensus top-seven quarterback beyond this season. Collins could become an elite playmaker and find his name alongside Chase, Justin Jefferson and Brown in the future. PFF might not be sold that Stroud is ready to be considered "elite" but the publication knows Houston has something cooking in the passing game this fall.

Former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb reacts to Jalen Hurts skipping Trump White House visit
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts divided fans when he chose to skip the team's celebratory White House visit in April. Hurts was one of several Eagles players who chose not to go, alongside AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Carter and Brandon Graham. But as the quarterback, Hurts' absence garnered particular scrutiny. Hurts told reporters on May 20 that he didn't go because he "wasn't available." Former Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb, who says he's mentored Hurts since coming to Philadelphia, gave his reaction to his protégé's absence in an interview with Fox News Digital. McNabb also suggested that Hurts' absence was based on a decision. "I don't have a problem with it at all. I agree, I totally agree with him and the decision that he made, it's a grown man decision, and he stuck with it," McNabb said. "And for him, his focus again is to get himself ready to possibly get back to another Super Bowl." McNabb added that he would have made the same decision as Hurts. Hurts also raised eyebrows again when he attended the Met Gala the following week after missing the White House. Still, the vast majority of the Eagles' roster and coaching staff did attend the White House and celebrated with Trump, as well as the president's daughter, Ivanka. Those players included star running back Saquon Barkley. "It's everybody's choice," McNabb said of the players who went. "You don't harp on anybody else's decision of what they made, it's a decision. It's a personal decision that he made, for both, for Jalen and for Saquon," McNabb said. "And again, after you do your visit or whatever it may be, you get right back to focusing on the task at hand and seeing if you can have that opportunity to be invited back to the White House." When the Eagles won the Super Bowl back in 2018, the team decided not to attend the White House. Trump rescinded the invitation to host the Eagles after several players said they would not participate in the visit because of his previous criticisms of national anthem protests. The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House several weeks before the Eagles did, to commemorate their World Series title. Mookie Betts, who skipped a visit in 2019 with the Boston Red Sox, attended this year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
