Both Jets LBs Quincy Williams, Jamien Sherwood rank among best by NFL coaches, execs
Execs, coaches and scouts rank top 10 off-ball linebackers:Consensus: This is the NFL's weakest position.-Fred Warner in class by himself-Top-five surprise out of Washington-Even bigger surprise out of Dallas-A 35-year-old legend back in top 10https:// The New York Jets received fantastic linebacker play from Jamien Sherwood and Quincy Williams last season. Sherwood recorded a team-high 158 tackles, tied for third-most in the NFL. Williams was a workhorse himself, totaling 116 tackles. ESPN has been releasing their top-10 position rankings list ahead of training camps opening around the league. The off-ball linebackers rankings were released on Tuesday. Williams made the list at No. 10, while Sherwood earned an honorable mention. "Williams backed up an All-Pro season in 2023 with another strong performance, earning several top-three votes," Jeremy Fowler summarized. "He held off several top competitors, including future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner, for the 10th spot. Williams lives in the backfield, combining for 41 tackles for loss since 2022. His pass deflections decreased from 10 to four year over year." "Zero to 100 closing speed sideline to sideline," an NFL defensive coach said. "Will strike you. Dog." "He's a Pro Bowl-caliber player, elite speed and burst to close, plays physical and bigger than he is -- but to be elite you have to consistently take the ball away and he hasn't done that," a veteran NFL defensive coach said. Meanwhile, Sherwood earned that honorable mention. "Ascending player. He's a bullet. Was one of my favorite [pending] free agents back in March." -- NFL personnel evaluator said. The Jets signed Sherwood to a three-year, $45 million contract extension earlier this offseason. Williams is entering a contract year after previously inking a three-year, $18 million extension. Sherwood and Williams will be keynote performers for new head coach Aaron Glenn in 2025.

Katie Sherwood urges on 'fearless' Wales ahead of clash with England
Katie Sherwood has urged Wales to show no fear in their decisive clash against reigning European champions England tomorrow. Rhian Wilkinson's squad will face the EURO 2022 victors in their final Group D game in St Gallen on Sunday evening, standing on the brink of elimination after losses to France and the Netherlands. Sherwood, who earned 50 Wales caps as a player, is well aware of the challenge her nation face but believes their attitude will be key if they are to upset their illustrious neighbours. "I think they just got to go into the game with no fear," she said. "We know the pedigree that England have, but we have a lot of pride, a lot of passion and a lot of belief. "We've been building consistent performances but we know that England are deadly in attack, so this is about staying in the game. "It is the final game of the Euros, we're going to need a miracle to stay in and we know we're up against real dangerous opposition. "I want them to show that pride and passion that we know a Welsh team can." The 2025 event marks Wales' first-ever major women's football tournament, having beaten the Republic of Ireland in a play-off match to secure a spot back in December 2024. It has therefore been a competition full of landmarks for the side, with Jess Fishlock scoring Cymru's first goal to equalise early on against France and become the oldest ever goal scorer at a Women's Euros. And she has not been the only standout player wearing red. "I think someone who's really emerged in this tournament is Angharad James," Sherwood said. "She is the heartbeat of this team, and she's only become captain within the last 12 months. "She is a great person and a fantastic player, and hopefully she will be leading this team out in more major tournaments to come." Sherwood was speaking at the Coronation Street Big Football Day, Powered by The National Lottery, in Trafford where she was with Jill Scott, who received Lottery funding as part of the TASS, which helped her on her journey to becoming a Euros winning Lioness. The celebration event brought together 48 young girls from England and Wales to mark both nations' participation at Euro 2025, reflecting on The National Lottery's long-standing support for women's football development across the UK. Inspiring the next generation at our Chwarae For Her watch parties 🫶🏴 Find an event 👉 — Wales 🏴 (@Cymru) July 11, 2025 Hosted on the iconic Corrie Cobbles, Sherwood was joined by Scott, and several members of the Coronation Street cast to celebrate tomorrow's game. The National Lottery have invested £6bn into grassroots sport over the last 30 years, changing the game for women's and girls' sport. Sherwood feels it the clash is a perfect occasion for young girls to see the possibilities within sport. "It was inevitable they were going to be drawn in the same group," she said. "It creates a buzz for young girls at home watching the game so they can see what they can be. "The funding from The National Lottery gives girls opportunities to have an experience in football and then nurture players and showcase their talent while seeing their role models on screen and really aspire to be playing for England or Wales one day." It is vital input that Sherwood has seen work first-hand during and after her career on the pitch. "I was lucky enough to be in Dublin the night that Wales secured their qualification, and was flooded with emotions," she added. "We haven't always had the resources that we should have had in Wales so it's a breakthrough that we've been waiting for such a long time. "To finally qualify, you think about all the sacrifices that you made as a player and those in previous generations. "For this generation, now they have this investment and they have the funding, they can go that extra mile. You can see the benefit that it's had." The FA's Big Football Day, powered by The National Lottery, is a celebration inviting women and girls to discover the joy, confidence and community of football. Thanks to over £6 billion invested into grassroots sport by National Lottery players, the game is growing stronger from the ground up. For more info visit: //

Dhankhar urges youth to set vision for nation, humanity at Sherwood Foundation Day
Nainital: Vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday urged the youth to take on the responsibility of nation-building. "Do not make your goals narrow or self-centric. Set your vision for the nation, for humanity. History remembers only those who lived and worked for the betterment of society," he said while addressing students, faculty, and invited dignitaries at Sherwood College's 156th Foundation Day. Referring to India's civilizational heritage, Dhankhar said the country's 5,000-year-old culture demands more than passive pride — it calls for active participation in shaping its future. "India demands unflinching pride and dedication from its youth," he asserted. Underscoring India's demographic advantage, he noted that nearly 65% of the population is under the age of 35. "We are not just the fastest-growing major economy — we are a nation of youthful strength. Let us not just respond to global changes but shape them." Dhankhar also invoked the legacy of notable Sherwood alumni, including Major Somnath Sharma, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, and actor Amitabh Bachchan. "Their legacy is your foundation — now it's your responsibility to build on it," he told students. Speaking about India's transformation in the past decade, he pointed to progress in infrastructure, economic growth, and digital innovation. He encouraged students to actively engage with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and machine learning. "India is poised to lead globally in digital connectivity," he said. Uttarakhand governor Lt Gen (Retd) Gurmit Singh also addressed the gathering, calling Sherwood College a "beacon of national pride and character-building." He praised the institution for nurturing leaders across fields and lauded principal Amandeep Singh Sandhu for preserving its legacy. Later in the day, the vice president met chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami at the Army helipad in Haldwani before flying back to Delhi. Governor Singh was also present. The three leaders discussed ongoing developmental and cultural initiatives in Uttarakhand. The CM thanked Dhankhar for his visit and presented him with curated products from the state's "House of Himalayas" brand. The CM and Governor also conducted an aerial survey of the Jamrani Dam project, joined by several local officials and dignitaries.

Last decade one of exponential economic growth for country: VP Dhankar
Dehradun, Describing the last decade as one of phenomenal development for the country, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday said among the large economies, India is the fastest growing and set to become the third largest economy in the world in 2-3 years. Last decade one of exponential economic growth for country: VP Dhankar "India's economic rise has been exponential, our infrastructural growth has been phenomenal. Among the large economies we are the fastest growing. The last decade for Bharat has been a decade of development, a decade of growth, a decade of finding a new place in the world order," he said. India will emerge as the third largest economy in the world in two-three years, he said addressing the students of Sherwood College, Nainital on the occasion of the institution's 156th foundation day on Friday. "Viksit Bharat " or developed India is not a dream for the country anymore but its destination, Dhankar said. He reminded the students that they had a significant role to play in the nation's journey courtesy the world class education at Sherwood whose distinguished alumni were an inspiration for all. Naming a few such as Major Somnath Sharma who was the first recipient of the Paramveer Chakra, the architect of the 1971 India-Pakistan war Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and cinema legend Amitabh Bachchan, Dhankar said, "Their legacy is your responsibility. You have to set new benchmarks of excellence." He said they were privileged to be receiving this kind of education in a country of 1.4 billion with a large section of the country's population not having access to such quality of education. Asking them to utilise this advantage for nation building, he reminded them of Swami Vivekananda's famous line and said,"Arise and awake and stop not till the goal is achieved." Dhankhar also said India is capturing the attention of the world not only because of its fast growing economy or scientific development but also its enviable demographic dividend. "The median age of India is 28 years. That means we are ten years younger than China and the US. 65 per cent of India's population is below 35 years. The world is changing too fast for us. We are not to be overtaken by this change but we have to create the change that we want," he added. He referred to the country's ancientness, its 5,000 year old civilisation and its vast wealth of scriptures. "No other country stands close to us when it comes to the vast wealth of knowledge contained in our scriptures like the Geeta, the Mahabharat or the Upanishads," Dhankar said, seated on a chair. Opening his address the vice president humorously remarked that he was in the habit of sitting in his chair as the chairman of the Rajya Sabha since August, 2022. "Chairman rises only when there is disturbance or disruption. With this kind of decorum and discipline I can remain seated," he said as the audience burst into laughter.
