No snow in Green Bay but thunderstorms delayed NFL draft activities
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Frozen Tundra would've melted from all the rain. A thunderstorm Wednesday morning abruptly ended interview sessions with NFL draft prospects and sent folks scurrying for cover. Workers inside the draft theater were instructed to seek shelter because of lightning and events were held up until the rain cleared up. The sun was shining within two hours and the schedule was back on track. The skies opened up after draft prospects participated in a flag football clinic with middle school students and special Olympians outside Lambeau Field. The NFL is holding the draft in the Titletown district, bringing its premier offseason event to a town known for being one of the coldest places to play during the season. Temperatures reached 69 degrees on Wednesday and are expected in the mid-50s for the three-day draft. There's a chance of rain on Thursday and Friday but the draft theater and stage are under cover. ___ AP NFL:

Burrow, Cousins and Goff will be featured on 2nd season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, Atlanta's Kirk Cousins and Detroit's Jared Goff will be featured on the second season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series. The streamer announced the series will debut in July with a promotional video released on Wednesday. 'Quarterback' debuted in 2023 and was one of Netflix's top-streamed series. Last year, NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions had the series 'Receiver,' following five wide receivers and quarterbacks throughout the 2023 season. Burrow, Cousins and Goff had their 2024 season chronicled on and off the field. Burrow led the league with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, but had his house broken into in December while the Bengals were in Dallas facing the Cowboys in a Monday night game. Cincinnati ended the season on a five-game winning streak and finished 9-8, but missed the playoffs. Cousins — who also was on the first season of 'Quarterback' — signed a four-year, $180 million contract last March with the Atlanta Falcons that included $100 million guaranteed. Cousins, however, was benched as rookie Michael Penix started the final three games. Atlanta finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs after leading the NFC South late in the season. Goff was a finalist for AP NFL Most Valuable player after he led Detroit to consecutive division titles and the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time in franchise history with a 15-2 record. Goff passed for 4,629 yards and 37 touchdowns, but the Lions were eliminated in the divisional round by Washington. ___ AP NFL:

Race between Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles moves one step closer. Distance, place and time still TBD
If they run as fast as they talk, this could be a doozy. Yes, sprint and football fans, Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill have moved one step closer to settling things on the track. When, where and at what distance? All still TBD. The reigning 100-meter Olympic champion and the fleet-footed NFL receiver conducted a joint interview/trash-talk session this week with People magazine , which pronounced they 'will officially race each other' but did not offer any details beyond that. 'This has been an ongoing thing for quite some time now, and I mean, everybody's seen the back and forth on social media,' said Hill, who last summer declared he could beat Lyles in a race. 'I've been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like.' Lyles accepted Hill's challenge earlier this month after winning a 60-meter indoor race, then flashing a piece of paper that said 'Tyreek Could Never.' 'I think it speaks for itself,' Lyles said of the sign. 'Everybody says that they're gonna be the world's fastest, but when it comes down to it, you gotta be the winner every time, each and every time, and every time I show up to the biggest moments, I win.' Hill has run a 40-yard dash at an NFL workout in 4.29 seconds. Lyles won the 100 meters at the Olympics last year in 9.784. Most likely, they'll race at a distance in between. People said the race will happen sometime before the national championships in July. ___ AP NFL:
