Colts 2025 NFL draft: Highlights from Day 1 of the Senior Bowl
The first day of Senior Bowl practices are in the books, an even that has played an important role in the Indianapolis Colts' pre-draft process under GM Chris Ballard.
The Senior Bowl is an All-Star showcase event for many of the top draft prospects and also provides an opportunity for smaller school players or really any prospect to get exposure and give their draft stock a bump with a strong showing.
General managers and scouts from all 32 teams attend the event. Oftentimes, it is at the Senior Bowl when many talent evaluators are getting to see these prospects up close on the practice for the first time while also having the opportunity to interact with them off of it.
Between 2017 and 2023, 26 of the Colts 67 draft picks during that span participated in the Senior Bowl. In last year's draft, three of Ballard's selections were a part of this event.

Woeful Colorado Rockies absorb 2 records for futility with 19 strikeouts and worst 70-game mark in modern era
ATLANTA — Kyle Farmer just shrugged when asked about being part of a Colorado Rockies team that just made MLB history with the worst 70-game record in the modern era. 'We don't care,' Farmer said after Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves left the Rockies with a 13-57 record. The Rockies surpassed the 1932 Boston Red Sox, who were 14-56, for the worst 70-game mark since 1901. 'I mean, there's nothing we can do about it,' Farmer said. 'It is what it is. We've just got to show up tomorrow and play. There's nothing you can really say about it except that if it happens, it happens.' The Rockies made more inglorious history by setting a franchise nine-inning record with 19 strikeouts. That's a lot of futility for one team to absorb in one day. The 19 strikeouts by Atlanta pitchers also set a Braves record for a nine-inning game. Spencer Strider recorded 13 strikeouts in six innings, followed by relievers Rafael Montero and Dylan Lee, who combined for six more whiffs. The only bright spot for the Rockies was the encouraging start by rookie right-hander Chase Dollander, a native of Evans, Ga., who allowed four runs, three earned, in six innings. The Rockies have 10 fewer wins than the Chicago White Sox, who have the second-worst record in the majors at 23-48. The 2024 White Sox hold the record for most losses in a season in the modern era with 121. Dollander said 'just having a neutral mindset' is the key to remaining positive through a season already filled with low points for the team. 'Don't ride the roller coaster,' Dollander said. 'You know, there's going to be lots of ups and downs in this game. This game is really hard. So it's just, you know, staying neutral and we just keep going.' Dollander was the No. 9 pick in the 2023 draft. Among other top young players on the team are catcher Hunter Goodman, who may return to the Braves for the All-Star Game on July 15, and outfielders Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle. 'You know we're going to have our time,' Dollander said. 'I mean, it's just one of those things that you kind of learn as you go. I've been very fortunate to be here for a little bit now, and I can help us going forward.' Farmer, 34, says one of his jobs is to help the younger players endure the losses. 'For sure, keeping guys accountable and teaching them the right way to do stuff,' said Farmer, the first baseman whose double off Strider was one of only four hits for the Rockies. 'Keeping their heads up and they've got to show up each day and play, no matter our record. It's your job and you worked your whole life to get here. Enjoy it. This is a great opportunity for a young guy to show what they can do.'

Mark Jackson grateful for Rick Pitino's Knicks coaching endorsement: ‘Got great taste'
The Knicks coaching search has gone from sloppy to embarrassing, and one of their former coaches, Rick Pitino, proactively said he has no interest in the job. But Pitino did stump for one of his former Knick players, suggesting they hire Mark Jackson in the Garden. Advertisement And the seemingly blackballed Jackson — who hasn't coached in over a decade — appreciated the endorsement of his mentor. 'He's a legend. I love him to death,' Jackson, speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, said of Pitino, who coached the point guard during his first two seasons with the Knicks. Jackson won NBA Rookie of the Year under Pitino in 1988 and was an All-Star the next season. 3 Rick Pitino addresses reporters during a press conference on March 21, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement 'I'm not in the league 17 years playing if he's not my first coach,' Jackson said. 'I'm forever grateful, and he's Coach to me. 'He's a brilliant basketball mind. He's turned over St. John's University and turned back the hand of time to bring them back to their glory days. It's great to watch. It's fun to watch. He's one of the greatest coaches in the history of sports, not just basketball. And on top of that, he's got great taste by that statement.' One can question the Knicks' taste in abruptly firing Tom Thibodeau on June 3, just three days after they were eliminated from their first Eastern Conference finals since 2000.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Since then, Knicks president Leon Rose has been denied permission to speak with Dallas' Jason Kidd, Houston's Ime Udoka, Minnesota's Chris Finch, Atlanta's Quin Snyder and Chicago's Billy Donovan, according to multiple reports. The Post's Stefan Bondy has confirmed the Knicks are expected to interview former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins and former Kings coach Mike Brown, each fired earlier this season. The Post reached out to the agents for both Jenkins and Brown on Saturday, with neither returning calls. Advertisement 3 Mark Jackson coaches during a December 2013 game for the Warriors. Getty Images Though there is no indication Jackson is a candidate for a Garden return, Pitino — who coached the Knicks from 1987-89, and earned AP Coach of the Year this season for St. John's — took to social media earlier this week to tell his former employer that there is an ideal candidate actually available. 'I obviously coached our rookie of the year, Mark Jackson,' Pitino tweeted Wednesday. 'I believe he spent 18 years in the NBA as a player. Great coach with the Warriors and one of the brightest minds I've coached. Would love to see the Knicks bring Mark Jackson home!!' Certainly New York would be a return home for Jackson, after growing up in Brooklyn and starring at St. John's before having two stints with the Knicks in a 17-year playing career.

But after posting a 121-109 record with two playoff appearances in Golden State, Jackson was fired in 2014 and hasn't coached since. The Post also has reported that ex-Villanova coach Jay Wright isn't interested in the Knicks job despite the presence of former Wildcats Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart. Advertisement UConn's Dan Hurley also preemptively withdrew. Michael Malone (who won the 2023 NBA title with Denver), Frank Vogel (who won with the Lakers in 2020) and Mike Budenholzer (who won with Milwaukee in 2021) are available, as are Detroit assistant Luke Walton and Cleveland assistant Johnnie Bryant, the latter of whom was Thibodeau's associate head coach from 2020-24.
