<p>Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is making it his mission to help quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/104207" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/104207">Justin Herbert</a> be immortalized as one of the best players in the sport's history.</p><p>"I just woke up the other day and said 'I got to get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame,'" Harbaugh said Friday on "<a href="https://x.com/RichEisenShow/status/1918366136246440320">The Rich Eisen Show</a>."</p><p>Harbaugh added, "You kind of process that. That would mean winning a couple Super Bowls. And there'd be a lot of people that would benefit. That's a worthy goal. And I think it's necessary that we get him surrounded with as many good football players to his level as possible."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>He acknowledged it's unlikely that Herbert, who has passed for 21,093 yards and 137 touchdowns through five seasons, would echo his pursuit of a gold jacket and a bronze bust in Canton, Ohio.</p><p>"Justin's all about the team. He is not into any kind of accolades for himself," Harbaugh said. "He would kick me in the shins if I said that to him."</p><p>Harbaugh guided the Chargers to an 11-6 record in his first season with the franchise. Herbert battled through a nagging ankle injury to throw for 3,870 yards, 23 touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 65.9% completion rate in 2024. He rushed for 306 yards and two scores.</p><p>The Chargers finished second in the AFC West but lost to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round. L.A.'s front office has been proactive in its quest to find more offensive weapons for Herbert to work with. While 2024 second-round draft pick <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199769" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/199769">Ladd McConkey</a> provided an immediate impact, many playmakers stepped up behind him last season.</p><p>However, Harbaugh expressed excitement for his second year on the sideline after last month's draft. The Chargers' sideline boss mentioned he was fired up for the potential of first-round running back <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209915" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209915">Omarion Hampton</a>. The North Carolina product is projected to share a backfield with free-agent signing <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161659" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161659">Najee Harris</a>. L.A. averaged 110.7 rushing yards per game, finishing 17th in the NFL.</p><p>L.A. spent five of its nine draft picks on offensive players, which include Hampton, receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209993" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209993">Tre Harris</a>, and tight end <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210120" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210120">Oronde Gadsden</a>.</p><p>Although Herbert is not likely to seek out individual accolades as his career rolls forward, his head coach expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to guide the star quarterback. </p><p>"I wake up every day trying to be worthy to be his coach and the rest of the guys on the team's coach," Harbaugh said.</p>

<p>Head coach Ryan Day is pushing back against the narrative that Ohio State depended on NIL resources to assemble a roster that went on to win last season's national championship.</p><p>"It's easy for people to say that Ohio State had NIL for this amount of money or whatever that it is," Day said on "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kzvTE1JqCo&amp;t=20s">Josh Pate's College Football Show</a>." "It's just so cheap and easy for someone to say. If you actually do the research, all it does is really tell you the value of an Ohio State football player."</p><p>Day highlighted Ohio State's large fan base, the population of Columbus, and the Buckeyes' brand recognition as appealing factors about his program.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>"Yeah, our guys are going to make a lot of money in NIL," Day continued. "And the truth is, the majority of those guys were all guys that decided to come back, who were already on the team that we recruited and developed. We did add six or seven guys, but not 15, not 20, where we went out there and just went and got the best players in college football. That wasn't the case. And that's not what won us a championship."</p><p>Day did point out that a few transfers last season, like quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210204" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210204">Will Howard</a> and running back <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209983" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209983">Quinshon Judkins</a>, were "big additions" for the program.</p><p>Several key starters opted to return for the 2024 season. <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210161" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210161">Jack Sawyer</a>, <a data-in-app-uri="" href="">JT Tuimoloau</a>, <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210168" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210168">Denzel Burke</a>, and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209981" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209981">TreVeyon Henderson</a> were among a contingent that decided to forgo the NFL draft. Ohio State defeated Tennessee, Oregon, and Texas before dispatching Notre Dame in the CFP National Championship in January.</p><p>Day guided the Buckeyes to their first national title since 2014 in the inaugural year of the expanded 12-team CFP format. Day said the program has fallen behind in recruiting due to competing in the championship game.</p><p>The 46-year-old has established a 70-10 record over seven campaigns as the Buckeyes' sideline boss. He found himself on the hot seat prior to the title run after Ohio State suffered a fourth consecutive loss to rival Michigan to close out the 2024 regular season.</p><p>"If you don't win championships at Ohio State they're going to find a new coach," Day said. "That's just the way of the world." </p><p>Ohio State lost an FBS-high 14 players to the 2025 NFL Draft, tying a school record set in 2004.</p><p>The Buckeyes are still bringing back plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, including receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/195944" href="https://thescore.com/ncaaf/players/195944">Jeremiah Smith</a> and safety <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/184156" href="https://thescore.com/ncaaf/players/184156">Caleb Downs</a>.

It will also have a roof, unlike the Commanders' current stadium, so it can have events all year long. Bowser is optimistic a new stadium would help attract major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, Final Four, and major concerts.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Primary owner Josh Harris previously mentioned his desire to open a new stadium by 2030, which is now the expected opening year for the new building. The Commanders' contract to play at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, runs through 2027. The club has the flexibility to extend the deal until the completion of a new stadium since it owns both the stadium and land.</p><p>The Commanders will invest $2.7 billion into the project. Government funding, bonds, and other investors are expected to contribute more than $1 billion combined for the stadium, parking, and the surrounding area.</p><p>The Commanders considered the potential of remaining in Landover and building a new venue at the site of their current stadium. Virginia was also considered but wasn't considered a viable option as the decision-making process developed. The team has practiced in Ashburn, Virginia, dating back to 1992.</p><p>Washington's NFL franchise played at RFK Stadium from 1961-96, winning three Super Bowls.</p><p>The Commanders are coming off one of the most successful seasons in nearly three decades. They finished 2024 with a 12-5 record, making it to the NFC Championship Game behind rising quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199756" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/199756">Jayden Daniels</a> and head coach Dan Quinn.</p>

<p>The Atlanta Falcons apologized to Cleveland Browns quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210099" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210099">Shedeur Sanders</a> after one of defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich's sons was revealed to be responsible for a prank phone call to Sanders during the draft.</p><p>The Falcons said in a statement Sunday that Ulbrich's 21-year-old son, Jax, obtained the confidential phone number from an iPad at his parents' house, and the coordinator was unaware of his son's actions until afterward.</p><p>"The Atlanta Falcons do not condone this behavior and send our sincere apologies to Shedeur Sanders and his family, who we have been in contact with to apologize to, as well as facilitate an apology directly from Jax to the Sanders family," the Falcons <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1916584444015546444">said</a> in a statement.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>While waiting to hear his name called, Sanders received a call from an unidentified friend of Jax, who falsely introduced himself as New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and said the team would select Sanders with its next pick.</p><p>Sanders responded that he'd "been waiting" to hear from him amid his unexpected free fall in the draft.</p><p>"You're going to have to wait a little bit longer, man," the caller said before hanging up on Sanders.</p><p>Sanders was visibly confused after the call. The Saints then drafted Louisville's <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210047" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210047">Tyler Shough</a> with the 40th selection. Sanders, 23, later said the phone he was using was sent to him specifically for the draft and that only NFL teams knew its number.</p><p>"On Friday night, I made a tremendous mistake. Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful," Jax said in an Instagram story accessed by <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1916587617061163061">Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz</a>.</p><p>New Indianapolis Colts tight end <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209918" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209918">Tyler Warren</a> also received a prank call during the draft when the New York Jets were on the clock with the seventh overall pick, according to <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1916539506099978524"> Schultz</a>.</p><p>Philadelphia Eagles defensive back <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199825" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/199825">Cooper DeJean</a> had a similar experience during last year's draft. He said he was pranked several times before the Eagles selected him with the 40th overall pick.</p><p>"It is what it is. I think, of course, it is childish," Sanders said during his introductory press conference with the Browns, according to <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/the-shedeur-sanders-prank-call-raises-a-question-who-leaked-the-phone-number">Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio</a>. "Of course, I feel like it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there."</p><p>Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski called the situation "sad," according to team broadcaster <a href="https://x.com/AndrewSiciliano/status/1916206703269339193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1916206703269339193%7Ctwgr%5Ec44a7390705f992877868ae12ea09acc0fa63373%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnfl%2Fbrowns-kevin-stefanski-rips-morons-prank-called-shedeur-sanders-draft-fall">Andrew Siciliano</a>.</p><p>"People are morons," he said.</p><p>The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick. He had been viewed as a likely first-round pick by analysts and fans entering the draft. He was the sixth quarterback taken and the second by Cleveland after the team drafted <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209984" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209984">Dillon Gabriel</a> in Round 3.</p><p>It's unclear why Sanders dropped so far, but <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3275397" href="https://thescore.com/news/3275397">he acknowledged</a> afterward that he could've gone about the pre-draft process "a different way."</p>

<p>The Kansas City Chiefs are tabling contract negotiations with offensive guard <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161967" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161967">Trey Smith</a> until after the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>"Hopefully we get that done. There's no lack of interest or will or desire on our end," general manager Brett Veach said Thursday, per <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-gm-brett-veach-no-secret-we-want-to-get-trey-smith-locked-up-long-term">NFL.com's Kevin Patra</a>. "There's no secret there that we'd like to get Trey locked up."</p><p>Smith has developed into a reliable piece of Kansas City's offensive line after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 draft. The Tennessee product has started 67 regular season games and 13 postseason contests through four seasons. The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Smith in February, making him the highest-paid guard in the league with a one-year deal worth $23.4 million. Both sides have until July 15 to work out a multi-year extension, at which point Smith will have to play out next season on a one-year tender.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Kansas City is focused on fortifying its offensive line after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Offensive guard <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/52828" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/52828">Joe Thuney</a> slid over to left tackle to help protect the blindside of quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/89514" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/89514">Patrick Mahomes</a> before being traded to the Chicago Bears this offseason.</p><p>Veach identified the offensive line as one of the Chiefs' top needs ahead of the draft despite signing offensive tackle <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/162087" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/162087">Jaylon Moore</a> and having <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/108380" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/108380">Jawaan Taylor</a> under contract for two more seasons.</p><p>"I think, obviously, any chance that you have to draft a guy that can project to be a starting left tackle, you do that," Veach said, per <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mcdowell/article304442486.html">The Kansas City Star's Sam McDowell</a>. "They're really hard to come by."</p><p>Veach also noted that <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/173980" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/173980">George Karlaftis</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/173979" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/173979">Trent McDuffie</a> could potentially land an extension this offseason. While the Chiefs can pick up the fifth-year options on both Karlaftis and McDuffie's contracts for the 2026 season before the May 1 deadline, they're prioritizing new deals for both players.</p><p>"Once this (draft) process ends, we'll be in discussions with Trey, trying to get him done, and then I'm sure at some point here (with) George and Trent," Veach said, per Patra.</p><p>The Chiefs hold eight selections in the NFL draft, including the No. 31 overall pick, and have not ruled out trading out of the first round after giving first-round grades to only 12 to 13 prospects.</p><p>"I know that I've shown to be more aggressive, but I'm certainly open to (trading back)," Veach said, according to <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article304429116.html">The Kansas City Star's Jesse Newell</a>. "And if it makes sense for us, and we can acquire additional picks, yeah, I'd be all for it."</p>
