The Arizona Cardinals have all their rookies signed after the final 'holdout' Will Johnson inked his deal today. So, we won't have to talk about that at camp. Instead, we can focus on the news as it comes out, but also continue to preview the position groups. Advertisement So far, we know the quarterbacks, we have discussed the running backs, and we have talked about how the wide receiver room may play out. Now, it is the tight end room, that if it stays healthy, may be the best in the NFL. Tight Ends - One question, who is the fourth tight end on the roster The Star - Trey McBride The Receiving threat - Elijah Higgins The Blocker - Tip Reiman The Battle - Josiah Deguara, Travis Vokolek The youngster - Oscar Cardenas The Cardinals will likely have McBride, Higgins and Reiman on the roster unless someone not named McBride just stinks out loud during camp. The question becomes who is the fourth tight end? Advertisement Is it the free agent signee Josiah Deguara or the veteran who has been with the team in Vokolek? And if one doesn't make it, can they make it through to the practice squad? This is one of the more complete rooms on the roster, how do you think the last spot ends up? More from

WNBA rookies Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron take in 1st career All-Star Weekend
The post WNBA rookies Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron take in 1st career All-Star Weekend appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend is fully underway, with the headlining All-Star Game on tap for Saturday night. As two of the three rookies participating in the game, Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Washington Mystics guard Sonia Citron are among the event's most notable participants. Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, is already one of the biggest stars in the league. Less than three years after suffering a torn ACL ahead of her junior season at UConn, Bueckers is aware of how 'blessed' she is to already be recognized as a premier guard in the league. 'It feels surreal to be in this position,' Bueckers said, via WNBA on X, formerly Twitter. 'Everything that's happened in the last year, I've just been extremely grateful for. Feel extremely blessed to be here with the best players in the league. Just trying to soak it all in and enjoy it as much as I can.' Citron, who was selected by the Mystics two picks after Bueckers, echoed similar thoughts. The 21-year-old Notre Dame alum admitted that she was 'shocked' to be voted into the game, but is 'grateful' for the opportunity. 'It's a shock; I still don't think it's hit me,' Citron said. 'It's an amazing feeling. I'm really grateful for this opportunity and this experience.' Bueckers and Citron are joined by Kiki Iriafen as the three rookies in the All-Star Game. Iriafen, Citron's teammate on the Mystics, is already proving herself as one of the best forwards in the league, averaging 11.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron clash at 2025 WNBA All-Star Game Bueckers and Citron will go head-to-head in the game, with the former starting for Team Napheesa Collier and the latter coming off the bench for Team Caitlin Clark. Iriafen will also come off the bench for Team Clark. While Bueckers was a no-brainer as an All-Star, Citron and Iriafen came as surprise additions. Both Mystics rookies have been impressive, but were shockingly nominated over teammate Brittney Sykes, who leads the team with 17.1 points and 4.4 assists per game. Sykes, 31, has yet to receive her first All-Star nod. Buckers' Wings are struggling midway through the year, but she is hardly to blame. The 23-year-old prodigy immediately hit the ground running and is averaging 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game through her first 18 outings. If Clark was not coming off a historic rookie season in 2024, Bueckers would be receiving way more credit for the absurd numbers she is posting early on.

LOOK: Chicago Bears' top rookies report for training camp
The Chicago Bears are just days away from the start of training camp, and players around already starting to trickle in. Saturday marked the day rookies, quarterbacks and injured players reported to Halas Hall. Veterans are set to report on Tuesday before the first closed practice Wednesday morning. The Bears' social media account is sharing glimpses at the team's top rookies as they arrive, including tight end Colston Loveland, wide receiver Luther Burden III and defensive tackle Shemar Turner. All eight of Chicago's draft picks are officially under contract, which isn't something every team can say right now as most second-round picks remain unsigned. The Bears have several prominent rookies primed to serve key roles in their first season. Loveland and Burden will serve as two of several weapons for quarterback Caleb Williams -- with Loveland serving as a 1-2 punch at tight end with Cole Kmet and Burden joining a receiver room featuring DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. Ozzy Trapilo is competing for the starting left tackle job with Braxton Jones and Kiran Amegadjie and Ruben Hyppolite II is battling Noah Sewell for the third linebacker spot. Meanwhile, Turner will serve a key role along the defensive interior while cornerback Zah Frazier and running back Kyle Monangai could possibly push for playing time as rookies.
