Broncos' Dre Greenlaw ranked among NFL's best linebackers
Broncos' Dre Greenlaw ranked among NFL's best linebackers Pro Football Focus writer Mason Cameron recently released his list of the top 32 linebackers ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Although a free agent signing from the San Francisco 49ers, Cameron selected Denver Broncos newcomer Dre Greenlaw as one of the NFL's top linebackers. Cameron chose Greenlaw as the fifth-best linebacker, primarily based on his play before his Achilles injury in the Super Bowl in February 2024. While he played two games in 2024, his 247 tackles combined in 2022 and 2023 will help build an impressive resume while showing his reputation as a linebacker. Cameron quickly noted that Greenlaw, when healthy, is a top-tier linebacker; he did draw on the concern that there are questions about his health. 'Although he played just 34 snaps in 2024, Greenlaw was on his way to the upper echelon of linebacker play before his injury," Cameron wrote for PFF. "His profile as one of the best coverage linebackers in the NFL was on full display from 2022 to 2023, when he posted a combined 88.9 PFF coverage grade. While there are questions regarding the level he can return to, Greenlaw's ceiling is high and worthy of this lofty placement.' Denver hopes Greenlaw can help further transform the Broncos' defense, which was among the NFL's best last fall. With Pat Surtain in the secondary, Greenlaw's presence in the middle can help Denver get over the hump in 2025, health permitting. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

McCowan reacts to Lyall Cameron's impending Rangers transfer
The duo played together for several years at Dens Park before McCowan moved to Parkhead last summer. Cameron is set to join Rangers at the end of this summer after his contract with Dundee expires. Read more: He made a significant impact last season, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists across all competitions. McCowan jokingly suggested that they would cease communication following Cameron's decision to join the Ibrox side. He said: "I spoke to him when Dundee came to Celtic Park, maybe just after he'd done it. "I said, 'Just to let you know, this will be the last time I speak to you!'. "No, listen, Lyall is a good player. "He's done well. "If that's the move he's going to go and get it's a credit to himself because he's put a lot of hard work in." Cameron was instrumental in securing Dundee's top-flight status, scoring twice on the final day of the Scottish Premiership season. His excitement about his impending move to Rangers was evident in his post-match comments. He said: "It's an unknown but it's a challenge and I'm really looking forward to going somewhere different and challenging myself at a higher level. "I accept that I'm going from one of the smaller teams in the country to the biggest, so it's not going to be easy and I'm going to have to work hard for my spot in the team."

'I'm livid,' Detroit Job Corps sudden closure leaves students scrambling
The Brief The Detroit Job Corps program has unexpectedly shut down. The program trains young people for their future. Many of those who live on the campus now have nowhere to go. DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Detroit Job Corps program has unexpectedly shut down, and many are caught off guard by the decision. The backstory The program trains young people for their future, and now, many of them who live on the campus now have nowhere to go. 18-year-old Cameron is dazed as he comes to his sudden reality, as he now has no place to live. He lived at Detroit Job Corps on Detroit's west side, a career training facility for young people. Dozens lugged garbage bags full of their belongings, some into their parents' trunks. "The staff they had us go to the rack at about 1:30, and they broke the news to us and they had us go to the dorms and pack our stuff," said Carleton Davis. 16-year-old Carleton Davis lived here, and his mom, Tiffany, recently lost their house – and there's more. "I didn't want him to be a statistic," said Tiffany Davis. "I wanted him to be focused on his education. I have breast cancer surgery next week, so now I'm debating having my surgery canceled so I can make sure my son is okay." The other side The staff on site would not speak to FOX 2, but sources say it was shut down after recent cuts at the Department of Labor, which oversees the program. Community activist Pastor Mo has tried to help out after getting calls from frantic mothers. He's worried about the short and long-term solutions for these children. "The ones who are trying to get it right, that's why I'm so pissed off. These aren't kids in a youth home that got caught in a crime; these are kids who are trying to avoid getting caught in a crime," he said.

West Coast Eagles coach Andrew McQualter says stopping Geelong Cats star Jeremy Cameron will be team effort
West Coast coach Andrew McQualter admits it will take more than one man to stop Geelong megastar Jeremy Cameron, as the athletic forward looms large against West Coast on Sunday. Cameron kicked an equal career-high nine goals in the Cats' last meeting against the Eagles — a 93-point smashing at GMHBA Stadium in the final round of last season. The 32-year-old booted seven goals before half-time as Geelong led by a whopping 100 points at the main break to set up the massive victory at Eagles' notorious bogey ground. Reuben Ginbey was given the near-impossible task of trying to stop Cameron and he may get the job again with West Coast's All-Australian defender Jeremy McGovern sidelined because of concussion. Key defenders Sandy Brock and Harry Edwards are also options for McQualter. Cameron was the Coleman Medal leader heading into the round with 33 goals in 11 games, having hit arguably career-best form with 13 goals in his past two matches. McQualter said the Eagles would have a 'few plans' for Cameron but conceded that stopping the forward was going to be a team effort. 'We appreciate how good of a player he is. He's a superstar of the competition,' McQualter said. 'He can play high, played a little bit of midfield a couple of weeks ago and then obviously gets deep and plays there as well. 'We're going to have a few plans for him clearly but like any key forward in the competition, the only actual way to stop him is pressure on the ball. 'If you're relying on a one-on-one match-up with Jeremy Cameron, you're going to be a bit of strife when they've got flow on the ball. So, we need to ensure that there's good pressure on the ball up the field.' West Coast's hopes of an upset were dealt a massive blow at the start of the week when star forward Jake Waterman's season was declared over due to a shoulder injury. Waterman, forward-ruck Bailey Williams (managed) and Tom Gross (omitted) have come out of the side, with Jack Williams, Archer Reid and top draftee Bo Allan all named in the 23. The loss of Waterman means McQualter doesn't have any of the top three from last year's John Worsfold Medal at his disposal, with McGovern and Elliot Yeo (ankle) also sidelined. 'Unfortunately, I just can't spend too much time on it,' McQualter said when asked about their absence. 'I love our best players out there playing every week and those three guys are so important to the way we play but that's footy, there's always going to be injuries in our game, and we just don't have too much time to dwell on it. 'We have got to keep helping develop the rest of our players and try to pick the best team to win each week.' Geelong are still without skipper Patrick Dangerfield because of a hamstring injury and have rested Jed Bews, with rising star fancy Connor O'Sullivan back into the side.
