1. ISRAEL ABRAMS
Abrams has been a great story this offseason. He was relatively unknown a couple months ago but has burst onto the scene. Each time I've seen him this offseason he's gotten better.

The Illinois native is comfortable in the pocket but is a good athlete making him dangerous on the run. He showed his range of skills once again on Sunday. He's continuing to fill out his frame and I can see him being 200-plus pounds when he leaves high school.
There's a lot of potential for the quarterback to be a great one.
2. KAYD COFFMAN
Coffman has had a steady rise over the last few months. He was already picking up steam before he committed to Michigan State with programs such as Ole Miss after him. Since committing to the Spartans, Ohio State has become more interested even if an offer hasn't come yet.

The Michigan native was sharp en route to winning camp MVP. He throws the ball well from the pocket but it's his ability to throw on the run that really lets his skills shine.
He'll continue to be a riser and coach Jonathan Smith did a great job locking him up early.

3. DREW SHERIDAN
The young 2028 signal-caller was a pleasant surprise on the day. He threw the ball well during camp and displayed nice accuracy on his throws. His recruitment is really just getting started but he's got a handful of early MAC offers.
He started on varsity during his freshman season and racked up 22 touchdowns with a 77-percent completion rate.
4. OSCAR SLOAN
Sloan is another promising young quarterback out of the Midwest. The Indiana native has good footwork and throws the ball well. He was solid at camp as well making some really well-timed throws.

Sloan holds early offers from Maryland and Purdue.
5. DONALD TABRON II
The Michigan native has drawn local comparisons to Bryce Underwood. That's a lot to put on the young 2028 quarterback but I can see why it happens. They do have similar frames and are both from the Detroit area. Tabron looks up to Underwood so he'll lean on him for advice through the recruiting process.
There is a lot to like about Tabron's game. He's a big athlete with a strong arm. He's raw as a passer but that's coming along nicely. Tabron also just set a PR in the high jump last week, too.

Aaron Rodgers was Steelers' ‘third option' at quarterback before pairing came together
The Steelers may have waited around for Aaron Rodgers to finally sign a contract, but that doesn't mean he was their No. 1 choice. In fact, the ex-Jet quarterback was apparently Pittsburgh's third choice for the position, ESPN's Adam Schefter recently reported. The Steelers announced that Rodgers inked a one-year contract with the team after a lengthy waiting game, but the decision to bring in the four-time NFL MVP was out of necessity rather than choice. Advertisement 'This was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers,' Schefter said during Friday's 'NFL Live' while discussing the signing. 'They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields, he opted to go to the New York Jets, where he will meet Rodgers on opening day. And after they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Rodgers.' Aaron Rodgers reacts during the Jets' game against the Colts in November 2024. Robert Sabo for the NY Post The quarterback is coming off a season in which he threw 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, but it wasn't enough to help the Jets reach the lofty goals that were placed upon the team at the beginning of the year — and they finished 5-12. Advertisement The Jets opted to move on from Rodgers earlier this year during a meeting at the team's facility, which the future Hall of Famer later went on to criticize in an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Rodgers was spotted at the Steelers' facility over the weekend, entering the building a little after 8 a.m. on Saturday. Advertisement Aaron Rodgers arrived at the Steelers' facility June 7. WTAE Rodgers' contract is worth $13.65 million and includes $10 million of guaranteed money, as well as incentives that could increase its worth up to $19.5 million. The 41-year-old will wear No. 8 during his stint with the Steelers, which will begin when Pittsburgh vists the Jets in Week 1.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could be in the running for MVP in 2025.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could be in the running for MVP in 2025. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco 49ers had a disappointing 2024 season, as they finished dead last in the NFC West with a 6-11 record. But Brock Purdy will be looking to lead them right back to the playoffs this season to redeem themselves. Advertisement The NFL Most Valuable Player Award is the prize that everyone wants and chases after over the course of the season, and the 49ers star quarterback may have a shot at competing for it this season. According to Sharp Football Analysis, the 49ers have the easiest schedule in the NFL in 2025 by a pretty wide margin. This means that Purdy will hopefully be looking good while the teams wins some games. But if you look towards the end of the season, that is where the 25-year-old field general will really get to shine. After their BYE in Week 14, the Niners will face the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears, and then they finish their season off at home against the division rival Seattle Seahawks. The thing is, only one of those four teams had a winning record in 2024. Advertisement It's the last portion of the season that will have a big impact on who wins the MVP, and Purdy could be looking really good as the season winds down. It would also be a good story, especially with Purdy being the very last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. If he is able to win the MVP Award, he will go from 'Mr. Irrelevant' to 'Mr. Relevant' very quickly.

Nikola Jokic's Offseason Video Turns Heads
Nikola Jokic's Offseason Video Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Nikola Jokic had a phenomenal 2024-25 season, becoming just the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double for an entire campaign, joining Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson. Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game for the Denver Nuggets and finished second in MVP voting. Advertisement Unfortunately for Jokic, this season ended the same way 2023-24 did. The Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Nuggets in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals, a year after the Minnesota Timberwolves did the same. Jokic averaged 28.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game against the Thunder, but it wasn't enough. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15) smiles after a play against the Oklahoma City Adams-Imagn Images So, the offseason started early for Jokic once again. The seven-time All-Star was asked about his offseason plans after losing Game 7 to the Thunder, and he hilariously stated he was going to drink a lot of beer in the coming days. Jokic appears to have now headed back to Serbia, and a clip of his has gone viral on social media. The 30-year-old is playing a sport in it, but it appears to be kick volleyball, not basketball. Fans had some interesting reactions to Jokic's offseason activity. Advertisement "How can anyone not like this guy?" one fan asked. "How does he have feel for the game ever here?" another fan wondered. "Just your 3x MVP and NBA Champ out there chillin', playing with neighborhood kids at the local public pool," said one fan. "These guys would have helped him more than Jamal (Murray) did," stated a fan. "That's the greatest basketball mind of all time," a fan said. "He gives zero (expletive) what others think! Proud to be a Serb," claimed one fan. Jokic is going to have plenty of time on his hands to do whatever he wants. The one thing that is certain, though, is that when the 2025-26 season starts, he's going to be dominating on the basketball court once again.
