Social media reacts to Jalen Milroe, others at 2025 Alabama football Pro Day
The final event for the Alabama Crimson Tide between now and the 2025 NFL draft took place Wednesday morning in Tuscaloosa, as the program hosted their annual Pro Day inside of the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.
This year, a total of 11 players from the Alabama football program participate in Pro Day activities, some of which also participated recently at the NFL scouting combine a few weeks ago. The participants included quarterback Jalen Milroe, tight ends CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts, offensive lineman Tyler Booker, defensive linemen Tim Smith and Que Robinson, linebacker Jihaad Campbell, safety Malachi Moore, kicker Graham Nicholson, punter James Burnip, and long snapper Kneeland Hibbett.
Many of these names were in action throughout the morning and afternoon Wednesday, participating in drills such as the 40-yard dash, along with Milroe throwing in front of professional scouts, in hopes of showcasing their skills one final time before the NFL draft arrives.
A three-day event, the 2025 NFL draft will officially take place from Thursday, April 24 through Saturday, April 26.
Here is a look at some reactions on social media to Alabama's annual Pro Day on Tuesday in Tuscaloosa.

Stefon Diggs won't discuss the contents of his bag on the boat
Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs met with reporters on Tuesday, for the first time since his notorious pink powder club boat video. Not surprisingly, Diggs had not much to say. Via Mike Reiss of here's what Diggs said about the video and his standing with coach Mike Vrabel: 'I want to be as candid with you as possible but I kind of have a thing where I don't talk about my personal life with people I don't know personally. . . . I had a conversation with Vrabel obviously and I'll echo everything he said, hoping everybody is making good decisions. And I had a conversation with people in the building as well. So everything else is everything else. The particulars are all internal.' He then was asked about the most important particular: What was in the bag? 'Obviously it's a conversation that's happening internal, which I can't have too much of a conversation about it,' Diggs said. 'I've been in this league 10 years. You can format your question many different ways, I'm obviously going to answer it the same way.' Diggs has no reason to confirm that the contents of the bag were something other Pixy Sticks or Fun Dip. If he admits the contents were what common sense would suggest them to be, he would be more likely to be placed in the NFL's substance-abuse program based on behavior. For all anyone knows (since the league has declined comment on the situation) Diggs already has been placed in the program, based on the video. Given the revisions to the policy, which make it extremely difficult to get suspended, it's highly unlikely we'll ever know that the video triggered any consequences under the substance-abuse program — unless Diggs were to talk about it. Based on his responses to Tuesday's questions, it's safe to say he won't.

Cameron Jordan, Tyrann Mathieu debut bold new hairstyles at Saints minicamp
Cameron Jordan, Tyrann Mathieu debut bold new hairstyles at Saints minicamp 'I was trying to shave some years off' A couple of New Orleans Saints veterans made their 2025 debuts in reporting for work at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice -- and two of them were sporting bold new hairstyles. Change is nothing new for Cameron Jordan, who has had some fun with his NFL-mandated headshot each season over the years, but his new platinum locks inspired by HBO's "House of the Dragon" series are something else. Jordan started binging the popular "Game of Thrones" spinoff this summer and picked up some fashion tips along the way. "I wanted to be a Velaryon," Jordan told reporters after practice, referring to one of the noble houses known for their distinctive bleach-blonde hair. "And I was like, 'You know what, this guy. This guy's got something going on.' Now granted, I thought I'd do the beard, too, but I didn't like the way the fumes was rising. So I kept it exactly how I wanted to. I think this is me. I'll see how long it lasts." But Jordan wasn't the only Saints veteran switching it up. Tyrann Mathieu has worn dreads for most of his 12-year NFL career, but he cut them off back earlier this spring. Speaking with reporters at his locker, he joked that "I was trying to shave some years off" before celebrating his 33rd birthday in May. Maybe the change can help him. Mathieu has intercepted 36 passes in his NFL career, trailing only Harrison Smith (37) for the most among active players. He wants that title for himself, and if a fresh cut puts a spring in his step, then so be it.

College football expert names how Georgia's top spring transfer can become dominant
College football expert names how Georgia's top spring transfer can become dominant A team's success, particularly in exceeding expectations, often hinges on its capacity to transform perceived weaknesses into strengths. Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has excelled at this, notably with their defensive backfield in 2021 and weapons on the offensive side of the football in 2022. SEC Network's Cole Cubelic anticipates that the Georgia Bulldogs will once again excel at the edge rusher position in 2025. Despite significant talent losses to the NFL draft, including first-round picks Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker, as well as transfer portal departures Damon Wilson (Missouri) and Samuel M'Pemba (Texas A&M), Cubelic holds high expectations for two specific Georgia players at that spot. One of them is Gabe Harris, who is entering his third season with the team. The other, Elo Modozie, joined Georgia less than a month ago, transferring from Army. 'You go get Elo Modozie, who we talked about in our impact-transfer list a couple of weeks ago, I think has the ability if he can add eight to 12 pounds before he enters the season, he can be as dominant of an edge defender as there is in this league,' Cubelic on a recent episode of his podcast, "The Cube Show". 'And trust me, we're about to get to some real edge guys in the next two groups. He has that kind of twitch, that kind of motor, that kind of ability. He has that kind of just get off and want to. As anybody I've seen in the nation, that kid's got it.' The 6-foot-3, 245-pound outside linebacker recorded 6.5 sacks last season with Army. Modozie adding some weight would help him stop the run. Then there's Gabe Harris, who stands out as the Bulldogs' most experienced returning edge player. Gabriel missed spring drills due to a shoulder injury. He's waited for his opportunity behind talents like Mykel Williams, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and Chaz Chambliss. Cubelic is also highly impressed with Harris' playing style. Harris is coming to a situation where he can play himself into being a high NFL draft pick if he performs well.
