The Florida Gators will welcome a familiar face on Monday after safety CJ Gardner-Johnson reached out to HC Dan Mullen on Sunday.

It's never too late to re-introduce yourself to the Orange and Blue, at least that's what it appears former Florida Gators safety Chauncey "CJ" Gardner-Johnson will be doing on Monday, attending the team's spring practice to observe the 2021 squad.

On the surface, the visit appears to have simply spurred from an innocent tweet from Gardner-Johnson to Florida head coach Dan Mullen, simply asking "When the next practice?! I’m trying to pull up" with a single eyeball emoji to boot.

Mullen, of course, would respond in kind with the date, and a simple "see you there."

The Gators began its spring football a full month earlier than expected with the first practice taking place Thursday of last week. The team will conduct a total of 15 practices to get finely tuned for the 2021 season ahead. Spring football will become the most-important evaluating offseason tool the team will have entering this season.

Florida State defensive tackle Braden Fiske met with the New Orleans Saints' defensive line coaches this week. He also met with coaches from the Bills and Cardinals and visited the Raiders, Steelers, and Chargers, per Aaron Wilson.

Braden Fiske is one of the biggest risers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Amazing performances in the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine allowed this to happen, but that was not the only reason. Fiske showed great performances on game tapes and high character in meetings. He is big, fast, and dominant at defensive tackle, which was shown in his combined measurements. If...

The 2024 NFL draft is just days away, where teams are finalizing their draft boards before things kick off in Detroit on April 25.

There are plenty of storylines to monitor heading into the first round, including how the run of quarterbacks unfolds. At this point, it’s all but official that the Chicago Bears will draft Caleb Williams at first overall. After that, everything’s on the table — what the Washington Commanders decide, quarterback-needy teams looking to move up and teams looking to trade up for other premium talent.

We’re unveiling our seventh and final NFL Wires mock draft of the 2024 offseason. Our editors made player selections for all 32 picks in the first round. Here are the results.

3 years later: Grading the 2021 Saints draft class

We’re closing in on the 2024 NFL draft, which is expected to be a critical juncture for the New Orleans Saints. If they can’t do a good job addressing their most important needs (with the few picks they own at the top of the draft), they’ll risk falling into a hole that’s almost impossible to climb back out of.

Fans saw firsthand how drafting poorly could set the team back in 2021. Lacking a quarterback and depth at wideout during Sean Payton’s last year as head coach (and, effectively, the organization’s top decision-maker) the Saints started their draft with a reach and finished it by rolling the dice on some ill-advised gambles. But they did manage to unearth some young talent along the way.

Conventional wisdom in the NFL says you need three years to thoroughly evaluate a draft class. The Saints’ 2021 crop is entering their fourth year in the pros now, so let’s take a look back and grade each selection:

The New Orleans Saints have had on-and-off success over the last eight years in the NFL draft. The hiring of Jeff Ireland coincides with this trend. It’s typically pretty solid with some deathly lows. The second round has arguably been their best round in that time frame. Leave Foskey as TBD and Ireland’s worst second rounder is Pete Werner. That’s a pretty strong hit rate.

As this year’s draft rolls around, Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler took a look at each team’s highs over the last ten years. Fowler formed an ultimate draft class of each team’s best selection from each round over the...

NEW ORLEANS — Did you forget the NFL offseason started in March and culminates with the draft starting this Thursday? It's ok if you did, the New Orleans Saints didn't do anything worth paying attention to anyway.

The Saints need to inject some excitement and reason to hope in 2024 to the dullest Saints offseason I can ever remember. The Saint's biggest moves were changing offensive coordinators and adding a defensive end, who had neck surgery the day after he signed with the Saints.
