#1 currently in 2022? Not an alltime list but just for this season? Yes.

Like I know it's amazing what he's doing at his age...but the best football player in the world in 2022? C'mon...

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson was shot multiple times Sunday evening during a possible attempted robbery in Washington, D.C., according to a police spokesperson.

He was taken to a hospital with what the team called "non-life-threatening injuries." According to a team spokesman, co-owners Dan and Tanya Snyder, president Jason Wright, coach Ron Rivera, team physician Dr. Anthony Casolaro and clinical psychologist Dr. Barbara Roberts were at the hospital with Robinson.

According to Dustin Sternbeck, the director of communications for the Metro Police Department in Washington, the incident happened shortly before 6 p.m. ET in the 1000 block of H Street, NE, in the district.

When police arrived on the scene they located Robinson, who, according to Sternbeck, was suffering from "a couple gunshot wounds to his lower extremities." He was transported immediately to a local hospital.

Yikes, that's crazy. With Antonio Gibson still fumbling, Robinson was in line to get a pretty good shot at a big role in their offence.

Sounds like he was either being robbed or car jacked when this happened.

They probably offered him to Dana White and UFC to get the 32nd no.

Leatherwood is surely in the conversation for worst draft pick ever. Even JaMarcus got to year three.

He's a very big personality, when someone like that is unhappy, that could create a festering issue in the room. Yeah that return is brutal.

Pretty underrated, he's one of the best nickel corners in the game. But now sounds like he may be a fulltime safety? Will be interesting to see how his role changes with more responsibility on the Eagles. I don't think there's a player in the league who can get under an opponent's skin better than him.

It'll be interesting to see how they sort that out because Avonte Maddox is one of the best slot corners in the game but also has experience at safety. Wouldn't be surprised if Gannon pulls out some interesting coverage disguises with those two on the the field at the same time.

Because they got rid of a bad player?

Raiders should hit 10 wins...injuries are the only way I see you winning. I see 5 freebies on their schedule...5-7 in the tough games

Raiders offense can hang with anyone, their D and their division is what is somewhat worrying to me.

It was actually a bad bet for me though, I could have done better at the sportsbook

It's not a team strength but should be at the very least no worse than last season. A season they made the playoffs despite having no number one WR and Waller missing 6 games. Tom Cable not coaching the line will be addition by subtraction as he's the guy that "pounded his fist on the table" for Leatherwood at the draft table.

Yeah indeed, Ceedy's pretty versatile. I'm curious if the Eagles will give him what he's looking for: he wants to be the highest paid slot CB in the league, reportedly he was looking for $12M/yr (Loomis wouldn't go over $8M). I wonder if he'll want more with an expanded role as a safety now, and am curious if the Eagles will take a calculated risk by signing him to an extension shortly to make him happy again, before seeing what he looks like in this new role.

I'll miss that dude, he's going to drive the Cowboys and their fans crazy with his antics. He certainly irritated Brady the last time they played each other, he's a master at it.

Not often you see the word deescalate in trade conditions.

Howie might not be the greatest drafter, but he is absolutely elite at trades.

Hard to really find any major blemishes in his last two drafts either.
