AFC North offensive linemen and QBs will get a reprieve from Myles Garrett for… one season.

The #Rams are scheduled to face the AFC North in 2027, including Garrett’s return to Cleveland to face the #Browns

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

🚨 🚨 🚨

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.

Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.

[Dante Koplowitz-Fleming @DanteKopFlem]

The Rams are the first team in NFL history to pair the reigning MVP and reigning DPOY together. They now have the 2025 NFL leader in:

- Pass yards and touchdowns (Matthew Stafford)
- Receptions (Puka Nacua)
- Receiving touchdowns (Davante Adams)
- Sacks (Myles Garrett)

🚨 THE GRID - all 272 regular season games for the 2026 @NFL regular season 🚨

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

AFC teams ultimately made 144 of the 257 picks in the 2026 #NFLDraft, a new record for the most by either conference in a single draft under the 7-round format.

The AFC selected 31 more players in 2026 than the NFC, the largest pick disparity between conferences since the merger

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

AFC teams are scheduled to make 143 of the 257 picks in the 2026 #NFLDraft (only 114 picks by NFC teams).

The record for selections made by a single conference in the 7-round draft format (since 1994) is 140 by the 2004 AFC

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Five teams - all in the AFC - selected multiple tight ends in the 2026 #NFLDraft, the most to do so in any draft under the 7-round format: #Dolphins, #Ravens, #Browns, #Jaguars and #Broncos

Multiple TE sets were used on a @NextGenStats era high 33.2% of offensive plays in 2025

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

The #Dolphins made an NFL-high 13 selections in the 2026 #NFLDraft, the first time Miami has had the NFL’s largest draft class since 1997, when HOF Jason Taylor and 2-time All-Pro Sam Madison were two of their 14 selections

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Entering the 2026 #NFLDraft, Texas Tech @TexasTechFB had never had more than 4 players selected in a 7-round draft and never more than 6 in a draft of any length.

[New England Patriots @Patriots]

Red Raider to the Pats ✨

TE Jack Endries caught passes from 2026 #NFLDraft 1st overall pick Fernando Mendoza (Cal, 2022-24), potential 2027 1st overall pick Arch Manning (Texas, 2025) and now could catch passes from former 2020 1st overall pick Joe Burrow on the #Bengals

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Cole Payton had 13 rush TD in a season twice in his career at North Dakota State.

Jalen Hurts has had 13+ rush TD in a season in an NFL-record 3 different seasons for the #Eagles.

NDSU has now had five QBs selected in the #NFLDraft, two by Philadelphia

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Interesting one for the #Eagles: They select at No. 178 NDSU QB Cole Payton.

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Adam Randall just joined Derrick Henry in the #Ravens running back room.

Two of the largest RBs in the NFL

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Randall is the 8th player to participate in a running back group at the Combine since 2003 that measured at least 6’3” tall

The only one of the previous 7 to spend his NFL career as a full-time running back was Brandon Jacobs (6’ 4 1/4” 267 lbs in 2005)

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Brotherly affair in New Orleans in the 2026 #NFLDraft:

[NFL @NFL]

With the No. 172 overall pick in the 2026 @NFLDraft, the @Saints select Lorenzo Styles Jr.

#Chargers

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Fernando Mendoza’s first career interception thrown in college was also that pick to McCoy.

October 7th, 2023, Cal vs Oregon State. A day of notable firsts for two future #Raiders draft picks

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Jermod McCoy’s first career interception in college was as a true freshman at Oregon State… against Cal… off of his new #Raiders teammate and top #NFLDraft pick Fernando Mendoza

[NFL Draft @NFLDraft]

Round 4, Pick 101: @Raiders select @Vol_Football CB Jermod McCoy! #NFLDraft

And 23 of 36 in the 3rd were on offense, a new record for the round

[John Todd @JohnToddNFL]

Drew Allar is 1 of 3 FBS players all-time with at least 1,000 career pass attempts and fewer than 15 INTs.

The others were both Heisman Trophy winners: Caleb Williams and Marcus Mariota.
