In the last few days, Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq has seized the Minnesota Vikings’ mock-draft momentum, and while that’s great, it’s important not to forget Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers, who can rather reasonably be picked in Round 2.
The Sadiq buzz is louder. Stowers still matters.
The 2026 draft cycle for tight ends is basically SadiqMania, but whichever team lands Stowers, well, that fan base will be ultra-excited.

Round 2 Could Bring Minnesota a Different Tight End Path
Stowers might be a nice consolation prize.

Stowers Perfect Aligns for Vikings in Round 2
The Vikings own the 18th overall pick on Thursday night. They will not use that on Stowers. That’s too high. But as a matter of coincidence, Stowers lives at No. 49 on the Consensus Big Board on draft day, and that’s exactly where the Vikings pick in Round 2 — No. 49.
Therefore, if Minnesota wanted a tight end, but Sadiq flew off the board too early, to the Baltimore Ravens, for example, Stowers can get-got on Friday night instead of Thursday.

The Stowers Intel
Stowers is 6’4″ and 239 pounds, running a 4.51 forty at the NFL Combine. He was a quarterback in high school and has obviously made the switch to tight end quite adeptly. He’s known for his hands, catch radius, and versatility — offensive coordinators can line him up anywhere.
For weaknesses, Stowers is a bit undersized, and his run-blocking will need a lot of work.
The Ringer‘s Todd McShay on Stowers: “Stowers is still developing and needs to improve his route-running urgency and catch-point physicality. But from an athletic and explosive profile standpoint, he’s in the same elite tier as Vernon Davis, Kyle Pitts, and Noah Fant.”

“Combine that with his year-over-year production improvements and exceptional intelligence testing, and there’s a chance he’ll emerge as one of the best offensive playmakers from the 2026 draft class in a year or two. Stowers is a versatile F tight end with big slot receiver traits.”
Stowers turned 23 earlier this month.
McShay added, “He recorded a high rate of chunk plays (30.6 percent of catches going for 15-plus yards), was efficient (2.43 yards per route run), was solid after the catch (5.9 yards per reception), and flashed a good tackle-breaking ability (nine forced missed tackles) last season.”
“Stowers also has outstanding athletic testing numbers (4.51-second 40 speed, 45.5-inch vertical, 11-foot-3-inch broad jump) that could make him a mismatch creator in the NFL. Stowers showcases elite spatial awareness and coverage recognition as a route runner.”

The Hockenson Situation
When the offseason began, many Vikings fans expected TE1 T.J. Hockenson to be cut as a cap casualty. He was on tap to be the NFL’s highest-paid tight end. That didn’t make much sense because the Vikings used Hockenson as a blocking tight end in 2025, which makes the huge contract silly.

But the veteran playmaker agreed to a paycut and his restructured contract makes him a free agent next year. In all likelihood, Hockenson will depart in 2027 free agency. Therefore, with Hockenson probably existing as a short-timer, a new tight end is needed. If Sadiq isn’t the guy, Stowers in Round 2 could check some boxes.
Zone Coverage‘s Carter Cox on Stowers: “Above all else, Stowers is versatile. His history of playing quarterback also makes him a candidate for many trick plays, which would make him a huge asset to Kevin O’Connell’s offense. Stowers also has blazing speed, which makes him a mismatch against linebackers.”
“Whatever position Stowers plays in the NFL almost doesn’t matter, given his talent. Whether he is a tight end, wide receiver, or wildcat quarterback, Stowers is a weapon on the offense. Adding Stowers to Minnesota’s tight end room would be critical at a time when the rookie can learn from Hockenson, while T.J. can still offer production, which is the best way for the Vikings to build their roster.“

Other tight ends after Round 2 include Ohio State’s Max Klare and Georgia’s Oscar Delp, among many others.
Shakur Stevenson has been presented with an enticing opportunity, but only at 140lbs, as he considers possible opponents for his next outing.
The 28-year-old is seemingly yet to finalise a fight date after dethroning Teofimo Lopez, the then-WBO super-lightweight champion, with a wide points victory in January.
Having become a four-weight world champion, Stevenson is now searching for challenges between 140 and 135lbs, where he previously held the WBC title.

One name that has repeatedly been mentioned is Raymond Muratalla, who holds the IBF and Ring Magazine lightweight belts after outpointing Andy Cruz in January.
At the same time, though, a unification showdown with Dalton Smith at 140lbs is surely something that merits consideration for later this year.
Like Stevenson, the WBC champion claimed his world super-lightweight title in January, dethroning Subriel Matias with a fifth-round finish on away soil.

For his next assignment, Smith must face mandatory challenger Alberto Puello on June 6, headlining a Matchroom Boxing card at the Sheffield Arena.
Should he successfully defend his title, then the 29-year-old would be eager to face Stevenson in a transatlantic battle that he likens to Floyd Mayweather vs Ricky Hatton.
Speaking with Ring Magazine, Smith said this ‘dream’ fight would ideally take place at Hillsborough Stadium – home of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club – or even in Las Vegas.
“Of course [it’s a dream fight]. That’s just a rewind of [Mayweather-Hatton], whether we do it at Hillsborough or a big night in Vegas.
“They’re the fights to be made – they’re the big fights out there.”

Earlier in the interview, the Brit said he feels a duty to continue thriving to ‘do this for the people and bring big fight nights back to Sheffield.’
If Stevenson keeps hold of his WBO title, then he could theoretically face Smith later this year, but is perhaps more likely to target alternative options between now and then.
Sanju Samson’s stunning form in white-ball cricket has once again sparked a major selection debate in Indian cricket. After impressive performances during the T20 World Cup earlier this year, the stylish wicketkeeper-batter has carried that momentum into the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, forcing fans and experts alike to ask one big question – should he now replace Rishabh Pant in India’s ODI setup? While Pant continues to search for rhythm, Samson has been in blistering touch. Pant has managed 147 runs in seven matches this season, averaging 24.50 with a strike rate of 132.43. His best score remains 68 against Hyderabad, but overall consistency has been missing.
Samson, meanwhile, has looked unstoppable. In seven matches, he has smashed 293 runs at an average of 58.60 and a strike rate of 178.65. Most notably, he has already struck two centuries for Chennai this season, underlining his ability to dominate attacks and play match-winning knocks.
The contrast in numbers has only added fuel to the growing conversation around India’s wicketkeeper choice ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa.

The Kerala batter’s ODI record is equally impressive. In 16 matches, Samson has scored 510 runs at a superb average of 56.66, including one century and three fifties. His numbers in South Africa are even more eye-catching – 120 runs in just two innings – an important factor considering the 2027 World Cup will be played there.
Pant, on the other hand, has featured in 31 ODIs and scored 871 runs at an average of 33.50, with one century and five half-centuries. In South Africa, he has made 101 runs in three ODIs.
With conditions in South Africa likely to test technique and temperament, many fans believe Samson deserves an extended run.
Meanwhile, social media has been buzzing with opinions since Samson’s latest IPL heroics. One fan wrote, “How long can you ignore these numbers? Samson deserves a proper ODI run now.”
Advertisement
Another said, “Pant is a match-winner, but maybe it’s time to let him focus on Tests and bring Samson into ODIs.”
A third supporter posted, “Give Samson consistency.”
Pant, however, still has his loyal supporters. “People forget what Pant can do under pressure. Class is permanent,” wrote one fan. Another added, “One rough IPL patch shouldn’t decide international careers.”
India’s selectors now face a catch-22 situation. Pant remains one of the most explosive wicketkeeper-batters in world cricket and has delivered in high-pressure moments before. But Samson’s current form, stronger ODI average, and success in South African conditions make his case impossible to ignore.

With the road to the 2027 World Cup already underway, every ODI opportunity will matter. And right now, Sanju Samson is doing everything possible to ensure his name stays firmly in the conversation.

There may have been no finer New York minute than what occurred late Thursday night.
The New York Knicks and Mets were in action, while the Jets were set to make a selection in the NFL Draft, and all hell broke loose.
Within a minute of each other, the Knicks lost a late playoff lead, the Jets made a controversial selection, and the Mets allowed a game-tying grand slam in the eighth inning.

Those teams are usually grouped together in one’s fandom, and all the emotions were caught on camera Thursday night during a New York radio station’s NFL Draft watch party.
WFAN hosts gathered around cameras and televisions to watch the draft, and as the Jets were set to make the 16th overall selection, the Knicks allowed Atlanta Hawks guard CJ McCollum to hit a game-winning jumper with 12.5 seconds to go, prompting a mini celebrating by Brooklyn Nets fans.
Quite literally seconds later, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Jets had selected Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq.

A baseball game in April is normally on the backburner during the NBA playoffs and NFL Draft, but right after the pick was announced, a host noticed that the Mets just allowed an eighth-inning, two-out, game-tying grand slam just a day after snapping a 12-game losing streak.
“Oh my God, the Mets just blew the lead,” said midday host Evan Roberts.
The Mets wound up scoring three in the bottom half of the inning thanks to Bo Bichette’s bases-clearing double, although Devin Williams did make it sweaty in the ninth by stranding the tying run on second.

The Knicks, though, now trail their first-round series two games to one despite being heavy favorites entering.
As for the Jets, the pick may confuse some, but Sadiq, one of the fastest tight ends ever, is a mismatch on the field.
Gang Green also traded back into the first round late Thursday to select Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, chances are you’ve encountered Realtree — a popular camouflage pattern that features leaves, twigs and bark. The pattern has long been favored by hunters and fisherman, and if you count yourself among them, now you can play a driver to match.
The Cobra OPTUM X Realtree driver is a limited-edition selection that features the Realtree camouflage pattern on both the top of the club head (where you’ll find the phrase “Adventure is out there”) and on the face.
Fans of Cobra’s OPTUM X driver may also recall another limited-edition design dropping earlier this year, the Palm Tree Crew — the result of a collab between Rickie Fowler and DJ Kygo.
Like its limited-edition sibling, the Realtree OPTUM X possesses the same performance characteristics as the originally-released club. By prioritizing POI (product of inertia) rather than MOI (moment of inertia), Cobra’s OPTM family of drivers are designed to be more accurate than their predecessors. The OPTUM X is suitable for good players who don’t struggle with creating too much spin, and is specially engineered to balance speed, accuracy, and forgiveness for tighter dispersion.

Fernandes has gone on to enjoy the best season of his career at United. The 31-year-old has recorded 18 assists in the Premier League so far in 2025/26 and is just two away from matching the all-time record in a single campaign set by Kevin de Bruyne and Thierry Henry.
Now, the midfielder has opened up to the Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport about how a simple message from his wife made him decide to stay at M16 last summer.

He said: I stayed because I thought I still had something that I can give back to the club,” said Fernandes.
“Obviously the Saudi situation, with the money… there was a lot. The good thing I have in my family is that my wife is pretty down to earth like me.
“We’re very aware that we don’t want to be the richest person in the world. We just want to be the ones that have achieved the dreams they had and live a good life with their kids and trying to be as successful as possible.
“The words of my wife were like, ‘have you achieved your dreams? Have you achieved everything you wanted?’

Several human rights groups have warned fans, players, journalists and visitors planning to attend this summer’s World Cup in the United States to be careful when travelling.
More than 120 organisations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, issued a travel advisory. They said the warning is because of what they described as a strict and harsh immigration crackdown by the administration of Donald Trump.
In their statement, the groups said the situation in the country could be risky, especially for minority groups, who they believe may face serious problems. They also criticised Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, over his close relationship with Trump.

The organisations called on FIFA to put pressure on US authorities to respect the rights of everyone travelling for the tournament.
US officials have not yet responded to the warning. However, FIFA said it is committed to respecting human rights and will continue to support their protection during the competition.
The rights groups also warned about possible issues such as denial of entry, arrests, travel restrictions, social media checks, racial profiling and increased surveillance. They noted that there are travel bans affecting citizens from some countries taking part in the tournament, including Iran, Haiti, Senegal and Ivory Coast.

They advised travellers to take safety steps such as removing sensitive information from their phones and keeping family and friends informed about their movements.
The United States will host most of the matches in the tournament, which it is organising together with Canada and Mexico.
The groups also accused FIFA of not giving clear safety guarantees for visitors, while pointing again to Infantino’s relationship with Trump. In December, Infantino presented Trump with FIFA’s first Peace Prize.
Immigration control has been a major focus of the Trump administration, with agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement expanding their operations. The agency has faced criticism over its actions, especially after reports of deadly incidents during protests.

US authorities have said immigration officers will be part of World Cup security. Meanwhile, fan group Football Supporters Europe raised concerns about increased police presence in the country.
Last month, Amnesty International warned that the World Cup could become a platform for repression.
In response, the White House World Cup Task Force said the tournament would be safe and welcoming. It added that fans should expect a smooth and secure event, promising a memorable competition for everyone.

Two teams that have ridden strong pitching to recent success will meet Friday night when the Miami Marlins open a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants.
Right-handers Sandy Alcantara (2-2, 3.06 ERA) of the Marlins and Adrian Houser (0-2, 5.40) of the Giants will kick off a series pairing a Miami team that’s won three of its past four games and a San Francisco club that’s prevailed in five of seven.
The Marlins used Thursday as a travel day following a home series win over the St. Louis Cardinals. With starters Max Meyer and Janson Junk allowing just four hits and two runs over 10 1/3 innings, Miami took the book-end games of the three-game set 5-3 and 4-1.
Junk was pitching so well that after Wednesday’s game, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough had to defend his decision to send in a reliever to start the sixth inning. McCullough said the available relievers provided beneficial matchups for Miami.
“As good as Janson was pitching,” McCullough said, “our best path today to nail down a win was to go that route.”

After a brilliant start to the season in which he allowed a total of just two earned runs and 10 hits over 24 1/3 innings in three starts, Alcantara has fallen victim to minimal support in his past two outings, during which his teammates have given him just two runs in each, both losses.
He’s never won at San Francisco, going 0-3 in five appearances, four as a starter. For his career, the 30-year-old is 1-3 with a 2.95 ERA against the Giants over eight games (seven starts).
The Marlins hope a healthy Esteury Ruiz can help ignite their offense. He is expected to make his season debut in San Francisco after having suffered a strained left oblique late in spring training.
A fifth-year major-leaguer, Ruiz enjoyed his best season across the San Francisco Bay in Oakland, when he stole 67 bases and hit .254 for the Athletics in 2023.

Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers for prospect Adriano Marrero in December, Ruiz will be asked to tap into his entire arsenal.
He had a home run, a single, a walk and two runs in his final rehab outing at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
To make room on the roster for Ruiz, the Marlins designated outfielder Austin Slater for assignment. He spent the first seven-plus seasons of his career in San Francisco, where he was a fan favorite. In 593 games with the Giants, he hit .254, slugged 39 home runs and stole 47 bases.
Advertisement
He hadn’t homered in 12 games for the Marlins this season and was hitting just .174 in his first season with them.
The Giants won two of three games against the Dodgers but lost 3-0 on Thursday. Landen Roupp and Tyler Mahle pitched San Francisco to 3-1 and 3-0 wins, respectively, in the first two contests before Logan Webb was a hard-luck loser in the finale.
Giants manager Tony Vitello said he was impressed by his team’s performance vs. the Dodgers and hopes for repeat efforts against the Marlins.
“There’s a lot of firepower,” Vitello noted about the Dodgers after Thursday’s loss. “To hold the entire lineup down for three straight days is just not something you’d go to Vegas and roll the dice on.”

Houser has yet to win in four starts in his first season with the Giants after spending last year with the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. He’s never lost to the Marlins, going 3-0 with a 3.22 ERA in five career outings, three as a starter.
Former Nigeria international forward Michael Eneramo collapsed and died on the pitch in Ungwan Yelwa, Kaduna on Friday morning, during a local friendly game in which he had played the entire first half.
Early reports indicated that Eneramo appeared to have suffered cardiac arrest five minutes into the second half of the said friendly match. He was born on 26th November, 1985 in Kaduna.
“This is devastating. I am short of words at this moment. I can only pray that God will grant him eternal rest and also grant his loved ones and the Nigeria football family the fortitude to bear the loss,” NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, said on the telephone from Cairo, Egypt.

Highly-respected in Tunisia and Turkey where he had fantastic club careers, Eneramo won 10 caps for the Super Eagles after rejecting overtures from Tunisia to take that country’s nationality and opt for an international odyssey with the Carthage Eagles.
His debut for Nigeria was against Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz in a friendly match in London on 11th February 2009, which ended goalless. In his second game, also a friendly, he scored his first goal for Nigeria against the Republic of Ireland in a 1-1 draw in London on 29th May 2009. He also played against France in Nigeria’s 1-0 win in Saint Etienne four days later.
Five days later, he featured in Nigeria’s 3-0 win over Kenya in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Abuja, and also played the home-and-away ties with Tunisia (0-0 in Tunis and 2-2 in Abuja) in the same race. It was in the home game against Tunisia in Abuja on 6th September 2009 that he scored his most memorable goal for the Super Eagles.

Nicknamed Al Dababa (The Tank) by fans of Tunisian and African giants Esperance Sportive de Tunis, Eneramo was much-loved in the North African country for his confident play, which earned Esperance a number of silverwares. He also featured for top clubs Besiktas, Sivasspor and Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey.

But then, after a little sleep, I’m going to the Calgary Comic Expo. I used to be a big comic book fan, I’d buy comic weekly, but the prices were going up and the nearest comic book store moved much further away and I decided that was a message that I should stop. The last several years I’ve gone to the Expo though and it has been enough to scratch that particular itch.

Anyway, use the thread to talk about anything you would like. Comics if you would like. Or anything else. Seen a good movie lately? Have some thoughts about sumo wrestlers and how they should wear move clothing.
Or maybe you want to talk about Bill Singer’s birthday. Singer started the first Blue Jays game, in the cold, and made 11 other starts (and one relief appearance) that year, his last in the majors. Singer is 82 today. He was 32 when he made that start on opening day. He had a good career, winning 20 games twice, making two all-star teams, and picking up 118 wins in total (127 losses), with a 3.39 ERA.
