In my latest story for
@DPostSports
, read how the memory of his grandma convinced safety PJ Locke to pass on signing to the XFL and trying out for the
#Broncos
in 2019.
He is now reaping the benefits of his leap of faith.
Maryland TE Chigoziem Okonkwo said he has had in depth conversations with the Ravens, Giants, Titans, Saints, Browns and others. He said it would be cool to play with QB Lamar Jackson.
“You don't really get to see that many extraordinary talents like that.”
Locksley said Tua’s injury weighed heavily on Taulia’s mind over the past 48 hours.
Locksley said Tua facetimed Taulia and told him “I’m fine and go play.”

Sean Payton became the first NFL coach to land a Jordan deal and he carries that title with pride. I talked to him about his deal, meeting MJ and convincing Pat Surtain II to join the brand in the future.
Per source, Payton will receive an exclusive Broncos
Ben Powers on the Ravens not bringing him back: “I don’t think they could afford me.”
He also mentioned that he valued his time in Baltimore and how the organization shaped him into the person he is today.
Per

, the

interior offensive linemen – LG Ben Powers, RG Quinn Meinerz and Center Luke Wattenberg – did not allow a single pressure against the Buccaneers.
Nix was not sacked on 39 drop backs.

DE John Franklin-Myers on Baron Browning’s WWE-style tackle on Sunday: “I never seen nothing like that. He better than me because I would flip right on my neck and that would be it for me.”
Former NFL CB Richard Sherman on

Pat Surtain II: "From a technical standpoint, he is one of the best in the last decade...I mean, he's up there with (Darrelle) Revis in terms of his poise. It always looks like he is in control."
I’m excited to share that I will be a

QB Zach Wilson speaks to reporters for the first time since getting traded to Denver. He talks about the QB competition, his reaction to getting traded and the opportunity for a fresh start.
According to ESPN, Ravens OLB Odafe Oweh is one of the most double-teamed edge defenders in the NFL. “But that’s not an excuse. You learn to have a counter for everything, so I’m working through that.”
Anthony McFarland on why DMV recruits should stay home: "Me being here in the state of Maryland and knowing the athletes we got, if everyone stayed home and took pride in it, Maryland could be a powerhouse.”
New Wizards guard and Baltimore native Will Barton on playing close to home: “It means everything. Its drives me to play harder and play with more passion.”
Rutgers Caleb McConnell is making a strong case for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. He recorded 6 steals in today’s win over Wisconsin and has averaged 4.6 steals over the last three games.
Today Maryland celebrates the 20th anniversary of its 2002 national title team. Here’s a look back at the night when the Terps rose to the top of the college basketball world.

WR Marvin Mims Jr. on his touchdown catch:
"I tried giving Bo Nix the ball afterwards but I think he gave it back to the refs. So he is waiting for that a first regular season (touchdown), I guess."
2021 was special:
- Got my Masters at 23
- Accepted into SJI
- Got a full time job w/ The Sun
- College Bowl game
- PGA TOUR event
- 3 x A1 stories
- Interviewed Carmelo Anthony
- Covered Ravens, Maryland MBB and Football
D.C. resident Danielle Brown has sat at Freedom Corner in Pittsburgh for the last 10 days, as she is on a hunger strike to get answers for her son’s death in 2018.

@carmeloanthony
never felt comfortable talking about his childhood in West Bmore. As he approaches year 20 in the
@NBA
, Anthony feels free to share his story. I talked w/ Melo about dealing with depression and doubt while finding therapy through writing.
Maryland's projected starting five at the moment: Jahmir Young, Donald Carey, Hakim Hart, Donta Scott and Julian Reese.
Carey and Young are still maintaining their draft eligibility but I expect them to stay in college. The Terps also still have three scholarship spots left.
To better handle the grueling summer practices, Ravens rookie offensive tackle Daniel Faaelele spent the six-week break between mandatory minicamp and training camp at the team’s facility. That extra work is paying off.
Iona coach Rick Pitino on Kevin Willard, who served as his assistant w/ Boston Celtics and Louisville: "Kevin is as good of a mind as there is in college basketball."
Tonight's O's-Rays game will feature the MLB's first ever all-female broadcast. For

Reese is among 10 athletes (9 current student-athletes) that will be the faces of BRADY’s inaugural campaign, which is set to launch next month.
Maryland will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the men's basketball program's 2002 NCAA Championship on Feb. 27 against Ohio State.
Former coach Gary Williams and all former players, including Juan Dixon, Steve Blake and Lonny Baxter, are expected to be in attendance.
I asked
#Broncos
WR Troy Franklin on if he chose No. 16 because of the number of wideouts drafted over him and he said "I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think of that."
"(The Broncos) gave me 16 and everyone else (on social media) put that work in saying 'Oh yeah, there were 16
The last time Maryland football defeated a Top-5 team was in 2007. They were still in the ACC, Tobey Maguire was Spider-Man, and the first iPhone had just been released. Tomorrow against No. 5 Iowa will be the Terps biggest opportunity in years.
With NFL dreams in mind,

CB Jakorian Bennett returns home to Mobile, AL for

. From being an undersized player in HS and wanting to quit to turning into a potential draft pick, Bennett's journey required a lot of belief and hard work.
