(DeCosta is a graduate of the "20/20 Club.") The Ravens do not belong to the National Football Scouting group, which provides member teams a list of and reports on players eligible for the draft. “We make our own list, and that means we look at all players on a college roster,” DeCosta notes.

  • A Weekly Look at the Matchups Featuring Outland Trophy Candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 P.M
    IN THE TRENCHES: WEEK 7 OUTLAND TROPHY MATCHUPS PRESENTED BY THE FOOTBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA A weekly look at the matchups featuring Outland Trophy candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 p.m. CT on CBS This week’s Outland Trophy feature puts us in Tuscaloosa again for an SEC matchup we’ve been looking forward to for a while. After all, these two cross-division rivals don’t meet very often. It’s the two SEC division leaders facing off, with the Bulldogs facing their third Top-15 foe in a row after dominating No. 7 Auburn 27-6 at home and then humbling No. 14 Tennessee 44-21 last week in Knoxville. Fans are scratching their heads regarding Alabama’s defense after giving up a school-record 647 total yards in a 63-48 win at Ole Miss last week. The timing may be right for a Georgia offense that is only 34th nationally but still averaging 420.0 yards per game. But it’s the ‘Bama offense we’re dwelling on here and its three offensive lineman from our Watch List. This trio – center Landon Dickerson (#69, Gr., Hickory, N.C.), left guard Deonte Brown (#65, Decatur, Ala.) and left of- fensive tackle Alex Leatherwood (#70, Pensacola, Fla.) – is powering the country’s top scoring team at 51.0 points per game playing three games within the SEC, and its third-best offense cranking at 560.3 yards per game. Nobody has stopped it yet. The 723 total yards the Tide gained at Ole Miss was its second-most ever and the 63 points it scored marked the 16th consecutive game that Alabama has scored 35-or-more points, the longest streak in major-college football history.

  • The Quarterbacks of the NFL Draft: a Study Into the Media Coverage of the 2012 & 2020 First Round Quarterbacks
    The Quarterbacks of the NFL Draft: A Study into the Media Coverage of the 2012 & 2020 First Round Quarterbacks Christopher F. Clements Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communications Stephanie Smith (Chair) Chelsea Woods Nneka Logan May 10, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: thematic analysis, sports media, framing theory, race The Quarterbacks of the NFL Draft: A Study into the Media Coverage of the 2012 & 2020 First Round Quarterbacks Christopher F. Clements Abstract This study seeks to identify, understand, and compare the themes created, by the print media, utilized to ascribe identity to college quarterbacks as they are entering the NFL Draft. The study will compare the four first-round quarterbacks from the 2020 NFL Draft and four first- round quarterbacks from the 2012 NFL Draft; which because of its historic nature of being the first draft to include a white and Black quarterback of drafted number one and two, respectively, is used as a baseline. The study uses framing theory and previous research to understand the themes present in the media coverage of these quarterbacks from the 2020 NFL Draft and the 2012 NFL Draft. A total of 112 newspaper articles from the Newsbank database were analyzed using qualitative research methods to compare the differences in frames that exist due to the racial background of each quarterback. Additionally, the difference in narratives and expressed frames, depicted by the print media over an eight-year time span were compared and examined using framing theory.

  • Juwann Winfree's Personal Evolution Leads to Broncos Opportunity. by Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019
    “He was going to rise.” Juwann Winfree's personal evolution leads to Broncos opportunity. By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019 Former CU wide receiver took long road to become Denver sixth-round NFL draft pick. Think Juwann Winfree can fly on the football field? You should have seen him on a skateboard. Picture this: A middle school adrenaline junkie rolling down blacktop near the Hudson River in eastern New Jersey. Find a trick, practice like crazy and land it. He’d glide through the air on six-, seven- and eight- stair drops. Fearless. “It was a hobby that I grew to really love,” Winfree said. “I can still kick-flip.” These days, Winfree walks through the Broncos’ training facility with a similar skate swagger. He still craves the thrill but finds it elsewhere. The rookie receiver, a sixth-round pick out of CU, evades defensive backs with kick-flip footwork and sails through the sky to grab deep passes from quarterback Joe Flacco. The rush of a lifetime. Winfree has always sought speed, and sometimes, to a fault.
