Shedeur Sanders vs Cam Ward: Who is the more exciting rookie this season?

Shedeur Sanders
Once thought to be an easy shot for the No. 2 pick, Sanders had a more than disappointing start to the draft as the No. 144 pick. He now finds himself in the fourth spot behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel on the Brown's depth chart among those pushing for a quarterback slot.

Cam Ward
As the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, Ward's entry into the Titans has been riddled with expectations and hopes. This trust, however, stems from a long-standing playing history. 'Ward has shown the ability to adapt quickly after playing at three different colleges. He set a Division I record with 158 touchdown passes in his career. He threw for 18,184 yards during his college career while running for 473 yards and 20 more TDs. He became an AP All-American at Miami,' writes Teresa M Walker of the Associated Press.
Brian Callahan, coach for the Titans, has studied how top picks fare in their rookie seasons across teams and also draws from his experience working with Joe Burrow on the Cincinnati Bengals' offense coordination.
'There's really no stone unturned when it comes to getting a rookie quarterback ready,' Callahan said, as reported by the Associated Press. 'And there's nowhere I won't look for potential edges or advice or anything like that. So, it's been a fun process for sure.' Although both players have their standout points, the better option can be decided upon as the season progresses.

Jayden Seales breaks Dale Steyn's decade-long record as Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan dance to speedster's tunes
West Indies pacer Jayden Seales broke the back of Pakistan's batting as the hosts registered a thumping 202-run victory in the third and final ODI to register a 2-1 series win in Tarouba, Trinidad on Tuesday. The tearaway quick returned with figures of 6/18 in 7.2 overs as the team from the Caribbean bundled out the visitors for just 92 when the latter was set a target of 295. Jayden Seales returned with figures of 6/18(AFP) Jayden Seales got his first wicket in the very first over as he dismissed the left-handed batter Saim Ayub on the third delivery for a duck. He then went on to dismiss Abdullah Shafique (0), Mohammad Rizwan (0), Babar Azam (9), Naseem Shah (6) and Hasan Ali (0). As a result of this performance, Seales registered the best-ever bowling figures against Pakistan in an ODI, breaking the almost 12-year-long record of South Africa's Dale Steyn. The former Proteas pacer had registered the figures of 6/39 against Pakistan in 2013. Seales is also the first bowler from the West Indies to take a six-wicket haul against Pakistan in an ODI. The 23-year-old speedster was adjudged as Player of the Series for his haul of 10 wickets. With this loss by 202 runs, Pakistan also registered their biggest defeat in ODIs against the West Indies. This is also the West Indies' first home series win against Pakistan in a bilateral ODI series since 1988. On the other hand, the West Indies registered their first bilateral ODI series over Pakistan since 1991. Also Read: Pakistan 92 all out; West Indies romp hapless Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan to end 34-year-long wait in ODIs Overall, this is Pakistan's fourth-biggest defeat by runs in an ODI. Their biggest loss came against Sri Lanka when the side lost by 234 runs in Lahore in 2009. What did Rizwan say about the loss? Earlier, West Indies captain Shai Hope smashed an unbeaten 120 to help the side post 294/6 in the allotted fifty overs. In the last eight overs, the hosts smashed more than 100 runs, leaving Mohammad Rizwan and co shell-shocked. Speaking after the defeat, Rizwan said that his side was unable to recover from the body blow suffered in the last ten overs of the Windies' innings. 'We understood this was the third game given a Test across four innings was played on this deck. The momentum in the last 10 overs took it away as we were on top for the first 40 overs. We thought 220 was chaseable here. The credit goes to them. Credit to Hope,' said Rizwan. 'The execution was good, but the edges went in their favour. Hope batted well and played some good shots. We had Ayub and Salman bowling. We thought Abrar would come and bowl. But Hope batted well, and hence he didn't complete his overs. Seales was bowling well. He troubled us through the series. We needed partnerships and needed to spend some time,' he added.

Mondo Duplantis creates pole vault world record for 13th time, clears 6.29m; watch video
Mondo has now soared 15 centimetres higher than Sergey Bubka, who Duplantis once described as 'mythological'. Armand Duplantis established new world record in pole vault at the 15th Gyulai Istvan Memorial Track and Field Hungarian Grand Prix. Image: AP Sweden's Mondo Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record with a clearance of 6.29 metres at the Hungarian Grand Prix meeting in Budapest on Tuesday, the 13th time he has set a new world mark as he continues to defy gravity. The double-Olympic champion maintained his tradition of improving on his previous record by one centimetre, with his second attempt at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial overhauling the mark he set in Stockholm in June. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Duplantis sets world record for 13th time Duplantis had looked a little off his best form, missing his first attempt at 6.11 and, after Greece's Emmanouil Karalis retired having failed twice at the same height, the Swede had the bar raised to make his usual world record attempt. Desiré Inglander shares her POV of her fiancé Mondo Duplantis breaking the pole vault world record today by clearing 6.29m 🐐 🇸🇪 — CITIUS MAG (@CitiusMag) August 12, 2025 The 25-year-old twice world champion was unsuccessful on his first try and while he rattled the bar slightly on his second effort, Duplantis looked up almost in disbelief to see he had again reached a new height in the discipline he dominates. 'I love Hungary very much. The track is very good, I love the crowd, I would like to return, thank you,' Duplantis said. Duplantis, who won his second world title in the same stadium in 2023, ran straight to the crowd to celebrate with his partner Desire Inglander and his family. On Monday, Duplantis missed most of the press conference ahead of the Budapest meeting, apologising when he turned up late, saying he had a lot of work to do on his time management. 'I think I'll have to make up for it tomorrow with a big leap,' Duplantis said. He duly stayed true to his word to the delight of the Budapest crowd, and has now soared 15 centimetres higher than Sergey Bubka, who Duplantis once described as 'mythological'. The American-born Duplantis first broke the world record in 2020 in Poland, with his leap of 6.17 surpassing by one centimetre the previous record set by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie six years earlier. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Lavillenie had beaten Bubka's best jump of 6.14, which had stood for almost 20 years, but Duplantis has taken the sport to another level and on Saturday competes at the Silesia Diamond League, where he also broke the world record last year.
