New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is showing his speed in training camp and is a better receiver than head coach Todd Bowles expected. Crowell will be a big factor in the offense.

Panthers Looking To Get Christian McCaffrey The Ball Often

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner thinks it's realistic for running back Christian McCaffrey to get 25 to 30 touches per game, which would be more than double what he had as a rookie.

Frank Ragnow Expected To Start At Left Guard

Detroit Lions rookie offensive lineman Frank Ragnow, a first-round pick, has primarily played left guard with the first-team offensive line in training camp, and he has impressed head coach Matt Patricia. “I think with Frank, it’s been a couple days in pads and really through the spring he’s been pretty consistent in everything that he […]
