Clark, a Midwesterner, did get in the last shot, telling Eli her favorite NFL player was the former Giant star's brother, Peyton.

Packers sign former top-100 pick
On Monday, the Green Bay Packers brought in three running backs, Tyrion Davis-Price, Micah Bernard and Kylin James, for workouts. The Packers made the decision to add Davis-Price, who is in practice in Green Bay on Tuesday, amid some injury questions at the position. Emanuel Wilson and MarShawn Lloyd only returned to practice on Monday from prior injuries, which means they might not be fully recovered in time for the joint practice or preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts this week. On top of that, Jalen White was injured in the Packers' preseason opener against the New York Jets, and Israel Abanikanda injured his hamstring in practice on Monday. So, Green Bay's only fully-healthy running backs right now are Josh Jacobs, who the team is hoping to rest in this week's preseason game, Chris Brooks, Amar Johnson and now Davis-Price. Hence, the signing. Davis-Price is a very interesting prospect. During the draft process, he was considered to be a borderline draftable player. Instead, the San Francisco 49ers took him in the top-100 selections of the 2023 draft, only to trade for Christian McCaffrey in October of Davis-Price's rookie year. The LSU product, who was the number two back on the national title team and then developed into a two-year starter after that, has played eight total regular-season games over three seasons with the 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. He's turned 43 carries into 127 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and hasn't scored a touchdown yet. He also has not caught a ball at the NFL level. Despite going into his fourth professional season, though, Davis-Price is only 24 years old. Depending on the status of Wilson, Lloyd and Abanikanda, we could see a lot from Davis-Price against the Colts on Saturday.

Giants Urged To Swing Blockbuster Offseason Trade For Polarizing Twins Ace
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco Giants are a few steps behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the National League West, but if the Giants can put together a solid offseason, there's a chance they could close the gap. San Francisco will almost certainly be involved in free agency and the trade market once the postseason comes to a close. Nick San Miguel of Around the Foghorn recently suggested the Giants could swing a blockbuster offseason trade for Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan. Ryan was mentioned as a trade candidate this season, but the Twins opted to hold onto him. DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Starting pitcher Joe Ryan #41 of the Minnesota Twins delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Starting pitcher Joe Ryan #41 of the Minnesota Twins delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado."The SF Giants were sellers at the trade deadline, but if they were buyers, they would have been a perfect fit for both starting pitcher Joe Ryan and outfielder Steven Kwan," San Miguel wrote. "They can still make a run at both players in the offseason. Ryan has been a phenomenal starter for Minnesota this season. "In 23 games, he has a 10-5 record with a 2.79 ERA in 132 and 1/3 innings pitched. He has 146 strikeouts compared to just 26 walks and has a 0.92 WHIP on the year. For a Giants team that can likely only count on Logan Webb, Robbie Ray and Landen Roupp being in the rotation to start next season, adding Ryan to the mix would make the team's rotation very formidable. Plus, the fact that he is a San Francisco native only makes him an even more perfect fit." The Twins will almost certainly look to trade Ryan in the offseason, and the Giants could be the perfect landing spot. San Francisco still has the talented minor league prospects to swing a big deal like this. The Giants' rotation also needs all the help it can get. This is the kind of deal that would help close the gap on the Dodgers and Padres. If San Francisco is serious about becoming a World Series contender, adding an ace like Ryan is a necessity.

Pair of Florida Gators named to 2025 Bednarik Award preseason watch list
The Maxwell Football Club recently released its preseason watch list for the 2025 Chuck Bednarik Award, which included a pair of Florida football players. Defensive tackle Caleb Banks, along with edge defender Tyreak Sapp, were both named to the prestigious projection of college football's most outstanding defensive players. Last year, Banks played in 12 games — starting in 10 — totalling 21 tackles, 10 of which were solo tackles and seven tackles-for-loss, while also recording 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and recovered one fumble. So far this preseason, he has also earned a mention on the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list, which is awarded to the best defensive player in college football. Sapp played in all 13 games with nine starts in 2024, leading the team with seven sacks, 13 tackles-for-loss and two forced fumbles while also earning the highest PFF grade among all qualified Florida players with 90.4 — ranking him eighth highest among all FBS edge rushers and fifth highest among all SEC edge rushers. That was the highest ranking of any Florida defender since Jonathan Greenard in 2019, who posted a PFF ranking of 90.5. About the Bednarik Award Established in 1995, the Chuck Bednarik Award is a prestigious honor in college football, awarded annually to the most outstanding defensive player. This accolade recognizes exceptional talent, tenacity, and impact on the defensive side of the game. The award is named in tribute to Chuck Bednarik, a revered figure in football history known for his remarkable career as a linebacker. Chuck Bednarik, a legendary player for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1949 to 1962, is celebrated for his distinctive contributions to the sport. Renowned for his versatility, Bednarik was the last player in NFL history to play both offense and defense full-time. His remarkable career includes two NFL Championships and ten First-Team All-Pro selections, underscoring his dominance and versatility on the field. Bednarik's legacy is further cemented by his enshrinement in both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame.
