Anchor Drop: 97 Days to Kickoff
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment We are now 97 days away from Vanderbilt football's season opener against Charleston Southern. 97 on the current roster is defensive lineman Hayden Bray. The 6'4', 277-pound fifth-year senior from Austin, Texas, has yet to appear in a game at Vanderbilt after transferring from Oklahoma (where he played in one game in three years.) Advertisement Vanderbilt baseball run-ruled Tennessee yesterday which advanced the Commodores to today's championship game against Ole Miss, which has been moved up to noon CT. There seems to be a chance that a win today would propel Vanderbilt into the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. There is something very poetic about 'run-ruling Tennessee and possibly getting the #1 overall seed' for all those Vol Twitter burners who insisted that Tennessee had overtaken Vanderbilt for in-state supremacy in baseball. Men's golf shot 6-over par in the second round of the NCAA Championship and is in a tie for 15th heading into today's third round. Vanderbilt will need to stay in the top 15 to play another day.

Cleveland Browns could make shocking Shedeur Sanders decision before 2025 season
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. Shedeur Sanders was projected to be a first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft by almost every mock draft. Some analysts had Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart ahead of Sanders, but most evaluators had the Colorado passer as the second quarterback off the board behind Miami's Cam Ward.

TEMPE, ARIZONA - OCTOBER 07: Quarterback Shedeur Sanders #2 of the Colorado Buffaloes watches from the sidelines during the second half of the NCAAF game against the Arizona State Sun Devils at Mountain America Stadium on October 07, 2023 in Tempe, Arizona. The Buffaloes defeated the Sun Devils 27-24. MoreInstead, Sanders fell all the way to the fifth round before the Cleveland Browns ended his fall. Interestingly, though, the Browns selected quarterback Dillon Gabriel just two rounds earlier. Now, Sanders joins a quarterback room that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson, and Gabriel. But there's a possibility that Sanders doesn't even make the final roster. "Sanders landed in a place where he's no sure thing to even make the roster, given that he'll likely open training camp fourth on the depth behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel. (Deshaun Watson is also on the roster but currently rehabbing an Achilles injury.) But he says he's willing to do whatever it takes to earn a roster spot," Pro Football Talk's Michael Davis wrote. Additionally, general manager Andrew Berry made comments that imply he thinks Gabriel is a better prospect than Sanders. "We talk oftentimes about quarterback being the most important position in the sport," Berry told ESPN. "We obviously spent a lot of time with Shedeur throughout the process. He's highly accurate, can play well from the pocket, very productive college career. And we felt like it wasn't necessarily the plan going into the weekend to select two quarterbacks, but we do believe in best player available, we do believe in positional value. We didn't necessarily expect him to be available in the fifth round. So, we love adding competition to every position room and adding him to compete with guys that are already in there, we felt like that was the appropriate thing to do." Watson is recovering from an Achilles injury and likely won't factor into the competition. Flacco is currently projected to start, while Pickett is the backup and Gabriel is the third-stringer. This means Sanders is starting as the fourth-stringer and the team would find it easier to cut a fifth-rounder than a third-rounder like Gabriel or a player they just traded for like Pickett. The odds aren't in Sanders' favor, but much could chage this summer once practice starts. Either way, it will be fascinating to watch the Browns' quarterback battle this summer.
