7 Indianapolis Colts selected in 7-round mock draft of active NFL players
So, how many Indianapolis Colts players ended up being taken in Reuter's mock draft, and where did they end up going? Let's take a look.
3.68: RB Jonathan Taylor (Las Vegas Raiders)
With quarterbacks, wide receivers, and edge rushers dominating the top of the draft, Taylor--the first Colts' selection--was pushed down to Round 3. Taylor finished fourth in rushing yards last season and was 11th in yards per rush, according to PFF.
4.104: QB Anthony Richardson (Houston)
Richardson is battling Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting job this summer. However, as Reuter wrote, Richardson's potential and ability to impact the game through the air and on the ground makes him a high upside selection in this mock.
4.109: LG Quenton Nelson (Denver)
Nelson ranked 15th among all guards in pass-blocking efficiency, and he was fourth in run-blocking grade last season, per PFF. He was again a Pro Bowler and named a second-team All-Pro.
4.128: DT DeForest Buckner (New York Giants)
Among all defensive tackles in 2024, Buckner ranked seventh in PFF's pass rush win rate, 12th in pass rush productivity, and ninth in run-stop rate. Buckner's impact goes beyond the stat sheet as well, with the impact his presence has on his teammates around him.
6.170: LT Bernhard Raimann (Green Bay)
Out of 83 eligible tackles last season, Raimann ranked 24th in pass-blocking efficiency. In the run game, Raimann ranked 12th in PFF's run-blocking grade.
6.174: LB Zaire Franklin (Denver)
Franklin led the NFL in tackles last season. He also made his first Pro Bowl and was named a second-team All-Pro. I think Franklin is one player who can really benefit from playing in Lou Anarumo's defensive scheme.
7.204: TE Tyler Warren (Dallas)
Warren brings a do-it-all skill set to the NFL level. He can impact the game as a pass-catcher, particularly over the middle, while also being versatile, able to line up across the formation, and a capable blocker. That adds a lot of flexibility to an offense.

Did NFL offseason change list of contenders? Plus Wimbledon upsets continue
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Hang onto your best players today. NFL training camps open this very month, with most teams reporting in full around July 22. Every NFL offseason is a spectacle, and this one felt especially dramatic, at least to us at Pulse HQ. The Shedeur Sanders draft plummet happened. The QB carousel spun almost literally to no end, thanks to Aaron Rodgers. Stefon Diggs signed a big deal in New England and then took a nice ride on a boat. There was an exceedingly rare trade not only of veteran players for one another, but two All-Pros, Jalen Ramsey and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Advertisement The NFL (and we in the sports media, too) loves the circus. But on the verge of camp, has it struck anyone else just how little this offseason seemed to change the league's pecking order? The five teams with by far the best Super Bowl odds, per BetMGM, are the Eagles, Ravens, Bills, Chiefs and Lions. Four of those were also in the top five at this time last year. The only difference is the Bills more or less swapping places with the 49ers (second-best odds last year, now sixth). Not that the Bengals or Commanders couldn't crash the party, but it sure feels like not a lot has changed. Am I too dismissive? I asked some The Athletic football writers if I'm missing anything. Scoop City (subscribe for free to the NFL newsletter) author Jacob Robinson: 💬 After Denver improved in nearly every facet this offseason, expect the Broncos to look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They'll get a chance to prove it in Week 5, when they visit the Eagles. Senior writer Jourdan Rodrigue: 💬 I don't think people are loud enough about ranking the Buccaneers in the contenders category. They have a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who is playing the best football of his career (though can be erratic), one of the best offensive lines, one of the best (and deepest) receiving corps and an emerging run game. The injury-luck pendulum may swing back in favor of their defense this season and give that group an overall lift. This team is well-built and will score points, with plenty of attitude. Don't overlook them! Yo-ho, yo-ho. PSG, Real Madrid advance in CWC In yesterday's Club World Cup quarterfinal action, PSG prevailed over Bayern Munich in a chaotic affair — unfortunately dampened by a horrific injury — while Real Madrid escaped a late flurry from Borussia Dortmund thanks to an incredible goal from Kylian Mbappe. Despite all the controversy surrounding the tournament, the product on the field has been legitimately good. So, are American fans flocking to watch the best teams in the world in action? Nope. Tickets for the Club World Cup's first semifinal dropped to $13.40 yesterday after having been priced at $473.90 (!) less than 72 hours earlier. That's less than a beer inside MetLife Stadium. Former champs out of Wimbledon Defending champion Barbora Krejčíková was bounced by American Emma Navarro in yesterday's Wimbledon action shortly after 2022 winner Elena Rybakina met a similar fate — the latest in a string of surprising results in the women's draw. The favorites on the men's side cruised yesterday, as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner both played near-perfect tennis. Plenty more updates from the All England Club in our Day 6 recap here.

Notre Dame landed a commitment from wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald, son of former NFL star Larry Fitzgerald, last night. The Irish are building a whole team of NFL legacies.

Are the Commanders trying to tell us something?
Are the Washington Commanders trying to tell us something? Last week, the Commanders announced on X that they'd unveil their new alternate uniforms on July 9. For most teams, there wouldn't be a debate over the alternate uniforms. However, things are different in Washington. While some fans still dislike the name Commanders, winning has a way of changing people's minds. Washington's 12-5 record last season and appearance in the NFC championship game made some fans forget they didn't like the name. Meanwhile, other fans have moved on from the name debate and just want to enjoy drama-free football. Advertisement The uniforms are another topic. Some fans like them, others don't. Some fans are especially critical of the all-black uniforms and the white jerseys. It has been hinted that Washington's new alternates will resemble the previous uniforms when the team was called the Redskins. Not the helmet, of course. That has led to a lot of anticipation about this week's reveal. So, are the Commanders trying to tell us something? One day after the team announced the uniform reveal, the Commanders shared the latest version of "Hail Tales," the podcast with stories from the franchise's long history. The latest version is about the "Monday Night Miracle." For the younger fans, let's refresh your memory. That game is one of the most memorable and improbable wins in franchise history. The offense could do nothing for the entire game. Quarterback Mark Brunell connected on two deep touchdown passes to Santana Moss and the Redskins shocked the Cowboys. Moss immediately became a franchise legend. Advertisement Did you notice those uniforms? Washington was wearing its traditional white tops with burgundy pants. Could this week's reveal resemble those uniforms from 20 years ago? Perhaps it's nothing, but Washington owner Josh Harris has said the Commanders "will honor the past," while looking toward the future. You can't make everyone happy. No move will have every fan happy. But bringing back uniforms that resemble the old ones would make a large portion of the fan base happy. Maybe the Commanders are trying to tell us something. Maybe not. We'll find out in a few short days. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Are the Commanders trying to tell us something?

Previewing the 2025 season for Texas A&M DL Albert Regis with his player profile
As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight a player's background, their recruiting rankings upon graduating from high school, and their projected role under head coach Mike Elko. The defensive line is somewhat of a question mark after losing three starters to the NFL, with Cashius Howell as the only proven pass rusher returning. The interior line poses another challenge, but veteran Albert Regis is expected to bring intensity and leadership to a young group. Regis had his most productive season yet in 2024, recording 36 tackles, three tackles for loss, and half a sack. His role will be to clog running lanes and increase his pressure on the quarterback. He showed promise last season by batting down seven passes and forcing the QB out of the pocket multiple times. Regis has NFL-level talent, and the Aggies will need every bit of it on the field this year. Preseason Player Profile Recruiting Rankings (Class of 2021) The former three-star prospect brought intriguing traits that made him a valuable asset on both sides of the ball. He held offers from several programs eager to develop his raw intangibles—traits like relentless effort and a standout attitude you simply can't teach. Regis was named 21-6A Sophomore of the Year and earned First-Team All-District honors as a tight end during his junior year. Depth Chart Outlook Albert Regis played a key role along the defensive front in 2024 and is projected to start alongside DJ Hicks, forming an athletic 1-2 punch on the interior.
