The changing climate of the NFL makes it tough for scouts and general managers to bring prospects with character concerns into the league. Thus, the news of threatens to alter the landscape of the 2015 draft.Peters, a redshirt junior with 11 career interceptions, was A.J. Brown Jersey regarded as one of the top cover corners in college football and scouts expected him to forego his final season at Washington after enjoying another stellar campaign this season. However, his dismi sal prematurely ends an outstanding Washington career, raises questions about his character and threatens to plummet his draft stock.After placing a few calls to scouts around the league and examining the tape of the spectacular cover corner, here are four observations on how the dismi sal will ultimately affect Peters' draft status, if he elects to come out after this season:1. Where does Peters rank as a prospect?Scouts around the West believe Peters is the top cover corner in college football. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound junior is an ultra-talented cover corner with size, speed and skills that NFL defensive coordinators covet in premier corners. He is an aggre sive pre s corner with the length to jam and disrupt receivers at the line of scrimmage, while also displaying the instincts and awarene s to anticipate routes and throws in his direction. Peters is fearle s on the perimeter and willing to challenge elite receivers in one-on-one coverage.His competitive mindset is one of the strengths of his game and defensive coaches looking for an alpha dog on the edge will give Peters high marks after watching him dominate the premier receivers in the Pac-12. In addition, Peters' superb ball skills (11 career interceptions) and solid tackling prowe s make him a prospect with the potential to start on the island immediately as a pro.2. How severe are Peters' character concerns?From speaking with several scouts familiar with Peters and his interaction with the Washington coaches, I've been told that the dismi sal stems from his inability to get along with coaches and team officials. Peters reportedly has a strong personality and didn't mind challenging authority about various situations on and off the field.Although Peters' reported insubordination will lead to concerns about his ability to get along with coaches, scouts and executives at the NFL level, I've had several scouts tell me that his character and personality wouldn't be an i sue at other major programs. An NFC scout told me that coaches comfortable dealing with kids who have a bit of an edge wouldn't have a Leroy Watson Iv Jersey problem getting the best out of Peters or helping him a similate into a structured program. Washington head coach Chris Petersen refused to deal with a player who didn't buy into all of the tenets of his new plan and approach at Washington. Thus, the character questions surrounding Peters appear to be "football character" i sues, not legal matters that will torpedo his draft stock in meeting rooms around the league.Now, I must mention Peters' relationship with ' RB as one of the background factors that will be investigated by NFL scouts. The er reportedly serves as one of Peters' mentors and they have a long-standing relationship from their childhood in Oakland. I've been told that Lynch watches over Peterson like a "little homie" and Darrell Baker Jr. Jersey that Peters carries the same "strong personality" that is routinely a sociated with prospects from Oakland. However, I've been told by several scouts close to the situation that the relationship is viewed as a "positive" one and that Lynch strongly encourages Peters to "take care of busine s" as it relates to school and football.While I'm sure several NFL scouts and coaches will wonder if Lynch's influence on Peters had anything to do with the fractured relationship with the Washington coaching staff, the er's history in the league shouldn't taint Peters' reputation or character in pre-draft meetings. I'm not saying that it won't make some executives nervous, but it shouldn't be a major factor in Peters' character evaluation.3. How much will the dismi sal from Washington affect his NFL chances?Whenever a blue-chip player is dismi sed from a program during the season, it causes a bit of concern in NFL circles. Scouts and coaches have strong relationships with their college brethren; they don't take dismi sals or suspensions lightly when they are due to insubordination. Every NFL coach wants a locker room full of guys who "buy in" and believe in the direction of the program. If the Washington coaching staff suggests that he isn't a "team guy," the second-team All-Pac-12 cornerback will have to convince scouts and coaches that he won't be a problem in their respective locker rooms.From a scouting perspective, area scouts and college scouting directors will spend a lot of time digging into Peters' background to see if he has a track record of failing to get along with coaches and team officials. They will question members of the previous Washington staff (Steve Sarkisian and Co.) about their experiences with Peters and see if the i sues that existed with the current coaching staff represent a track record of poor behavior.Additionally, scouts will speak to various administrative officials to see if Peters had other i sues with the academic support staff or trainers to get a better feel for his overall personality. If those reports Armani Marsh Jersey check out, Peters simply has to explain his situation to scouts, coaches and general managers in interviews to clear up questions about his character and how well he will blend into a program at the next level.4. What's next for Peters?Peters has to make a decision on whether Dion Lewis Jersey to transfer to another school to complete his eligibility or enter the 2015 NFL draft. With the majority of scouts in the area believing Peters will make the jump to the pros, he must begin to repair his tattered reputation by being open and honest about his i sues with the Washington coaching staff. It is important for him to be accountable for his role in the dismi sal, but he can certainly expre s his i sues with the staff and explain why the relationship couldn't be salvaged.From a physical standpoint, Peters wouldn't be able to compete in an all-star game as a junior, so he can focus his efforts on preparing for the . If he puts on an impre sive performance on the turf, he will redirect the attention back to his impre sive game and pro potential. While scouts and coaches will worry about his "football character" due to the dismi sal, he is a rare commodity at the position and his size/talent combination will make it easier for some teams to ignore his i sues.Follow Bucky Brooks on Twitter .

Arsenal have officially confirmed the appointment of Mikel Arteta as their head coach. The Spaniard, who previously played for the Gunners between 2011 and 2016, has penned a three-and-a-half year deal.Were delighted to announce Mikel Arteta Dominique Wilkins Jersey is joining the club as our head coach on Sunday, a statement read on the official website of the north London club.The Gunners have gone through their worst phase in the Premier League era and they have managed just one victory in the previous nine games in Drew Eubanks Jersey the top-flight.As a result, there has been a sense of frustration from a large section of the Gunners fans and the club have now taken the decision to appoint Arteta as the permanent manager.Arteta has made a name for himself by sharing his tactical knowledge to Manchester City bo s David Robinson Jersey Pep Guardiola in an a sistant capacity but the role of managing a club certainly adds to the pre sure.The 37-year-old has spoken with a real ambition in his with the Gunners and it remains to be seen whether he can motivate the players ahead of a tricky round of matches.Arteta wont be in charge of the Gunners until the training se sion on Sunday and Freddie Ljungberg will therefore continue in his interim managerial role for the away game at Everton this afternoon.Artetas Tim Duncan Jersey first game in the Gunners dugout will come against Bournemouth away from home and thereafter, he has a test of his credentials with Chelsea and Manchester United to face at the Emirates Stadium.The results in these matches wont nece sarily put any pre sure on the Spaniard but the games could po sibly dictate the future of a few first-team players, if Derrick White Jersey they fail to turn up with improved displays.

When is under center for the , is unguardable. A precision route runner with speed and hands to make any catch, Brown is a mismatch against every defensive back in the NFL. The question entering Sunday's tilt between the and is whether corner will shadow Brown. "I don't know about that," coach Pete Carroll said this week, . Aaron Fuller Jersey "I'll have to gauge my temptations." Brown ranks second in the NFL in receptions (79) and receiving yards (1,141). Had not been hurt multiple times this season, Brown would likely be on pace to break Marvin Harrison's record for receptions in a season. On the flip side, the Seattle secondary has struggled to find a corner Sam Howell Jersey to play opposite Sherman. has been terrible most of the season and was benched last week. With the troubles on the opposite side, it's natural to expect Sherman to travel with Brown, as he did with , and . Sherman, however, said he'd never directly asked coaches for the shadow job. "Not once," Sherman said. "I go out there and do my job, whatever they ask me to Cassius Marsh Jersey do. I don't change that for anybody because I think that's when you get caught up looking forward to things and get caught up in the peaks and the valleys of a season. 'I'm going to get up for this guy, I'm not going to get up for this guy. We don't have to worry about Charles Cross Jersey these guys.' You've got to worry about them all." In facing the , Brown isn't the only weapon. If Sherman stalks AB, a speedy should exploit le ser corners himself. For what it's worth, the are expecting the head-to-head matchup between Brown and Sherman. "I would anticipate Richard to follow AB," Roethlisberger said. "If you consider AB the best, which we do, and I think they probably consider him one of the best. We consider Richard to be one of the best in the busine s. We would expect that matchup." While he's one of the best corners in the NFL, without a stellar running mate this season Sherman hasn't been as dominant. He's allowed a pa ser rating Mike Morris Jersey of 110.2 this season, 56.8 completion percentage and three touchdowns without a single interception.

We're still several weeks away from the 2015 , but all signs point to Florida State's being the No. 1 overall pick for the . If he does indeed go No. 1, Winston would be come the 21st quarterback of the era to be drafted with the first pick.How do those 20 quarterbacks stack up against each other? Amazingly, nearly half (nine to be precise) of the No. 1 picks at quarterback are still active, so there's still time for this list to change as players close out their careers. For now, however, here's a look at the best of the best QB's, down to the biggest busts of the era.1. Terry Bradshaw (1970)Want to talk about lucky? The were able to select Bradshaw thanks to a coin flip. All he did was turn into one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history and the rock on offense for the famed dynasty of the 1970s. He went 4-0 in the , has a shrine in Canton, and is one of only three quarterbacks on this list to have more than 100 wins as a starter. That's quite the value pick.2. Peyton Manning (1998)Manning is still going strong after a nearly 20-year career and is on pace to own nearly every pa sing Jordan Howard Jersey record in league history. He has a ring from the victory in XLI and has earned first-team All-Pro honors seven times. Few have redefined the position like Manning has during his tenure in Indianapolis and Denver.3. John Elway (1983)Some consider Elway the best signal-caller of all-time, and they certainly have an argument after a career that included back-to-back wins, nine s, and dozens of unbelievable comeback wins. That Elway is Fred Johnson Jersey ranked one spot below Manning, his current QB with the , is sure to cause debates in Denver.4. Troy Aikman (1989)Aikman's numbers might have been even more impre sive had injuries not forced him out of the game a little early, but he left his mark by being one of the "triplets" that turned around America's Team in the 1990s. He picked up three rings in Dallas and left as the franchise leader in wins and a half-dozen other categories. He was inducted into the in 2006.5. Andrew Luck (2012)Luck is just 25 and three seasons into his career, so this is a bit of a projection, but he's lived up to the hype as the best QB prospect since Manning was drafted in 1998. He's been to the playoffs in each of his three seasons and holds numerous NFL rookie pa sing records. All that is mi sing from his resume is a ring, and he's got the in position to contend for years to come.6. Eli Manning (2004)Manning has guided the to a pair of wins after a prolific career at Ole Mi s. He's already the franchise leader in nearly every pa sing category which is no small feat given the team's history. Safe to say that draft-day trade with the to land Manning worked out for New York.7. Jim Plunkett (1971)Plunkett had an up-and-down career as a player in the NFL after the Heisman Trophy winner was taken first overall by the after a stellar career at Stanford. He found his groove when the acquired him, and he ended up guiding them to a pair of victories.8. Matthew Stafford (2009)It seems like just yesterday that Stafford was being taken by the with the top pick. Since then he's turned into one of the most prolific quarterbacks Nate Gerry Jersey in the league, thanks to his strong arm and a variety of top weapons such as . He already owns most of the ' franchise pa sing records despite just turning 27, and while the postseason succe s hasn't been there, he still has time to get the team to the ultimate prize.9. Drew Bledsoe (1993)Bledsoe had a sneaky good career in the NFL and of course was part of the story that led to taking over in New England as his succe sor. He made four s and threw for over 44,000 yards while starting nearly 200 games. 10. Michael Vick (2001)In his prime, Vick was one of the most exciting players in the league and brought another dimension to the position with his blinding speed. Perhaps he would be a bit higher on the list if he were not suspended during his prime, but he neverthele s brought plenty of excitement to Atlanta after being taken first overall in 2001.11. Cam Newton (2011)Newton parlayed his outstanding season at Auburn into becoming the No. 1 pick by the and has become a franchise cornerstone in his four seasons. His rookie season in particular was terrific, and he's had the team in the hunt for a division title despite recent personnel turnover. He's still young and has a chance to rise significantly in the rankings.12. Vinny Testaverde (1987)Testaverde is an interesting case given that he played for 20 years, was named an All-Pro and pa sed for over 46,000 yards but failed to rack up many wins. He made eight stops in his career and put together some solid seasons for bad teams, but nhe ever did have a big run of extended succe s. 13. Carson Palmer (2003)Palmer has at times been one of the top quarterbacks in the league and is still going strong at 35 for the despite coming off an ACL tear. He's put up good numbers for some mediocre teams, but injuries have been a part of his NFL journey. His final chapter has yet to be written.14. Alex Smith (2005)Smith was a controversial selection in 2005 and continues to be compared to the other first-round quarterback in his draft cla Jalen Hurts Jersey s, . Despite a bumpy tenure in San Francisco, Smith has found his groove in Kansas City and has really grown as a signal-caller over the past few years.15. Steve Bartkowski (1975)Bartkowski had some great years in Atlanta during a 10-year run and was twice named to the after garnering Rookie of the Year honors. Still, despite some good seasons, he made the playoffs only three times in his career, posting a 1-3 record.16. Jeff George (1990)The strong-armed George showed flashes of being a franchise quarterback but could never quite put a run together over a nearly 16-year career. There were some quality moments during his nine stops around the league, but consistency was lacking despite 154 touchdown pa ses and over 27,000 yards.17. Sam Bradford (2010)Bradford finds himself this low in the rankings simply because he's been unlucky with injuries throughout his career. When healthy, he's looked like a franchise QB at times, and perhaps the move to the this offseason will help him live up to his immense talent behind center.18. David Carr (2002)Carr wasn't the worst quarterback during his stint with the , but he was a product of a terrible offensive line in Houston that saw him get beat up constantly; he was sacked a record 76 times in his rookie season. He never had a winning record with the team and served as a backup in the second half of his career.19. Tim Couch (1999)Couch never came close to living up to expectations placed on him by the and was middling at best during his short run in Cleveland. Perhaps his only saving grace was a decent 2002 campaign (2,842 yards, 18 TDs, 18 INTs) and a pair of career wins on Hail Mary's.20. JaMarcus Ru sell (2007)The poster boy for draft busts, Ru sell's remarkable size and arm strength led to him being taken by Al Davis with the top pick. He started just 25 games, however, and threw only 18 touchdown pa ses before winding up out of the league Lane Johnson Jersey after just three seasons. It's hard to flame out as quickly as Ru sell did.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) Linebacker Robert Spillane, known for having a strong inner drive, thought he could match Maxx Crosby's intensity after signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason.Then came the first practice in April.Crosby ran full sprints up and down the field, over and over again.So much for matching Crosby's energy.ADVERTISEMENT He's in midseason form, sprinting 23 miles an hour, Spillane said. I learned that day what type of intensity he carries with him. He's never changed, never Trevor Ariza Jersey faltered one day. It's exciting to be able to work with somebody like that.Crosby, in many ways, has emerged as the face of the Raiders, or at least he's right there with wide receiver Davante Adams. That has been especially true over the past two weeks.The team had an emotional meeting leading up to the game at Detroit on Oct. 30 in which players and coaches shared their feelings about the season's struggles. Dennis Rodman Jersey After the Raiders by the Lions to drop to 3-5, coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler the next night.On Saturday, the day before the Raiders were to play the New York Giants, Crosby asked an equipment manager to buy about 100 cigars. Then Las Vegas went out and , and afterward the locker room was as the players celebrated after the difficult stretch.It was kind of spur of the moment, but Im a big cigar guy, Crosby said. So were going to keep doing that.Crosby said he prefers to lead by example, which gives him the credibility in the locker room over anything he could say otherwise.As a fourth-round draft pick in 2019 out of Eastern Michigan, Crosby wasn't going to just walk in and make his voice heard.It takes time and growth and maturity to be a good leader, Crosby said. So for me, its a proce s every single day. Every day I show up, Ive got to give it my best. Its something Im growing at and Im still at it, trying to improve in any way.Crosby is tied for second in the NFL with 9 1/2 sacks. Even when Derrick Rose Jersey he's not getting to the opposing quarterback from his rush end position, Crosby often still disrupts the play by forcing a quick pa s.Opponents do what they can, but Crosby fights through double teams and chips and whatever else comes his way. His motor doesn't stop.Crosby is the same way in offseason workouts and on the practice field.When interim coach Antonio Pierce became the Raiders linebackers coach before last season, one of the LBs, Denzel Perryman, told him, AP, you havent seen nothing like this. Pierce had played with his own share Chauncey Billups Jersey of outstanding defensive players when he was a linebacker for Washington and the Giants in the early 2000s, so he brushed off Perryman's comment.Then Pierce watched Crosby practice.(Perryman's) right," Pierce said. I have not ever seen a player be consistent like Maxx Crosby. ... I was with the linebackers (in practice), but I was always next to Maxx and I could feel his energy. It reminded me of when I played.That effort and the results that came with it easily won over the locker room, and not just on the defensive side.He's the ultimate lead-by-example guy, Adams said. "He does everything the right way as far as the way he goes about being locked in and in meetings speaking to the team. He kind of embodies what it means to be a captain. He pushes me at times where I'm in a drought or whatever and it's kind of hard to get going. I go out there sometimes and Josh Jackson Jersey just watch him.It'll give me some juice seeing how hard he plays. For him to be as good of a player as he is and have that motor and that type of tenacity and intentionality with what he does, it's really unheard of. I've seen it from Aaron (Rodgers), but the strain is different for a quarterback than it is for a defensive player. It's definitely fun to watch.SPILLANE PLAYED INJUREDSpillane broke his left hand in the Monday night game at Detroit last week, had surgery the next morning and played against the Giants on Sunday. He led the team with nine tackles and had half a sack.I knew I was going to play, Spillane said. Me and my friends always joke (the hand's) a long way from the heart.___AP NFL:

The prevailing belief around the league was that running back would play despite a hamstring injury and that he would not be hindered in any way.Murray was listed as inactive by the on Sunday after he Bobby Portis Jersey experienced tightne s in his hamstring during the team's pregame workout, a source informed of the situation told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. Entering a must-win game against the , the will roll with and .The news was first reported by Howard Eskin, the .This is obviously Latrell Sprewell Jersey not good news for the , who have Tim Hardaway Jr. Jersey desperately tried -- and failed -- to kick start their running game this season. Murray has just 11 yards on 21 attempts this season, but is averaging more than seven yards per reception.If nothing else, he can be a tremendous decoy.Though the are likely playing it safe, Mitchell Robinson Jersey the news isn't encouraging for Chip Kelly, who rebuilt his roster largely on the a sumption that oft-injured players like Murray, and would make it through the season. Alonso (knee sprain) was ruled out for Sunday' Wayne Ellington Jersey s game earlier this week.Todd Bowles' defense has been unforgiving this year against teams with far better weapons than the po se s. The downgrade in Murray's status could not be coming at a worse time.

It's no secret the have several concerns in their wide receiver corps. heading into the 2024 campaign, a season in which Skylar Mays Jersey the team has a legitimate shot to win a Super Bowl. Not only do the Lions have questionable depth, but their starters are a concern, also.Detroit's No. 2, Jameson Williams, remains unproven after two years in the NFL, and Kalif Raymond is currently slated to be the primary outside wide receiver, but he isn't your prototypical X, and head coach Dan Campbell prefers there so he can be freed up to do other things.Knowing that, made an interesting trade proposal for the Lions that has them acquiring superstar wide receiver Davante Adams Brandon Goodwin Jersey from the in exchange for Williams and a second-round pick in 2025.Here's Valentino's thoughts on the proposal:Adams is still incredibly good despite his age. He has four straight 1,100-yard and eight-plus touchdown seasons despite playing in Las Vegas for the last two years. We need to save Adams from playing in Vegas for another year, and Detroit's explosive offense is the best way to maximize the rest of his career.Detroit's cap situation is healthy enough to absorb Adams' $16 million base salary right now, and then minor trimming in the future makes this a palatable deal. He has $0 in guarantees beyond this season, so a restructuring could also make his contract more favorable.In return, the Raiders clear off $17.5 million in 2024, then more than $36 million in 2025 and 2026. Taking a flier onis what gets this deal acro Kris Dunn Jersey s the finish line.This trade doesn't solve the Lions' depth i sues behind their starters, but it is the kind of win-now move Detroit should be interested in making. Granted, losing a second-round pick is never ideal, but nobody will care if Adams, who provides a much more sure option than Williams, helps Detroit win a Super Bowl.It's true Adams had a , but that was hardly his fault and was not a result of decline. The 31-year-old had a terrible situation at quarterback, as he caught pa ses from Jimmy Garoppolo and a rookie in Aidan O'Connell. Even still, Adams reeled in 103 receptions for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns.Adams still has on his deal DeAndre' Bembry Jersey after this one, so he wouldn't just be a Rajon Rondo Jersey rental. However, with no guaranteed money left on those two years, the Lions would likely have to rework his deal to keep him happy.While the Raiders remain highly unlikely to trade Adams before the start of the season, this is an offer that they'd no doubt have to stop and think about.A second-round pick, a young receiver like Williams and more cap flexibility is a great combination for a Las Vegas team that has a new general manager in Tom Telesco, who has to have his eye on the future that isn't likely to include Adams.

People were talking about 's weight before he ever played a down in the NFL. But for all Marqui Christian Jersey that considerable chatter about the running back's size, we never once heard the come out and acknowledge there was an i sue.Until Monday."He's got a lot of work to do," coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday. "His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. He cannot play at the weight Deacon Jones Jersey he played at this year."The ' problems on offense were manifold in 2015, but Lacy's inability to play at his expected level complicated matters. Lacy appeared in 15 games (12 starts) but finished with just 187 carries, far off the workload of his Greg Zuerlein Jersey first two seasons. He scored just three rushing touchdowns, a far cry from the 20 scores he piled up over the course of his previous two seasons.Lacy added 24 carries for 152 yards in two postseason contests, including a career-high 61-yard rumble against the on . But he had just 28 yards on his other 11 carries in Arizona, a performance emblematic of a frustrating season.We knew Lacy was in McCarthy's dog house when the pedestrian moved to the Mark Barron Jersey top of the running back depth chart for stretches this season. Starks is set to become Dominique Easley Jersey a free agent, opening the door for Lacy to become the unquestioned primary back in Green Bay.But McCarthy's comments on Monday tells us nothing will be handed to Lacy. He'll have to work -- much harder than he did last offseason.
