Broncos roster: DB Quinton Newsome (No. 36) fighting for spot this summer
Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year cornerback Quinton Newsome, No. 36. Before the : Newsome (6-1, 185 pounds) played in the Big Ten as a member of the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 2019-23. In 53 college games, Newsome recorded 149 total tackles (94 solo, 55 assisted, seven tackles for loss), 3.0 sacks, one interception, 17 pass deflections, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Broncos tenure: Newsome was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Denver Broncos in May 2024. In October, Newsome was released and then re-signed to Denver's practice squad. In March 2025, the Broncos signed Newsome to a futures contract, keeping him on the 90-man roster. Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. Newsome finds himself in a crowded defensive back room that was recently made more crowded with the addition of former UFL player Mario Goodrich. Newsome might be the outside fish in a very talented pond, but he'll get a chance to compete for a spot this summer. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

2025 Big 12 Head Coach Rankings: Preseason College Football Preview
Just like the entire Big 12 going into the season, trying to figure out which coaches are the best right now - and which are at the bottom of the rankings - was mostly a coin a league loaded with rising teams that could all pull off an Arizona State shocker of last year, and that's partly because each team has a big-time head coach. Whether it's Scott Frost going back to UCF, Rich Rodriguez returning to West Virginia, or all the good coaches who rocked at other places and continue to get up to speed at their Big 12 spots, the league has accomplished are we supposed to rank them going into the season?We'll cut Kyle Whittingham and Mike Gundy some slack after shockingly off years, acknowledge the high-risers, the under-appreciated, and ...We're doing this by feel, past greatness, tenure, upside, everything.

Former NFL LB says battling 49ers' superstar made him question his football future
San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams has been one of the best players at his position in the league since Washington took him in the first round (No. 4 overall) of the 2010 NFL draft after earning All-Big 12 honors twice and All-American honors once at Oklahoma. Williams was named a starter right away in Washington and made the Pro Bowl every year there from 2012-18. He also earned second-team All-Pro honors once (2015). Washington traded Williams to San Francisco in 2020, and he's made another four Pro Bowls and has earned All-Pro honors three times. While Williams' legendary play on the field is discussed regularly around the league, it's always interesting to hear a player talk about what it's like to try to pass rush against the former Sooner. Former NFL linebacker Jonathan Casillas did just that in a recent appearance on "The Champ and the Tramp" podcast earlier this week. "Y'all know Trent Williams? The left tackle? [Expletive] beast," Casillas said. "All week long, I know I'm going against Trent. Most tackles, I can beat because I'm faster and slicker than them. I can't beat Trent. He's too quick, and he's dirty. So, he's gonna grab me or push me, and I'm screwed because I'm not that big. He's got me by 100 pounds... That week, I know I have to go at him. I got to go into him, like boom and then go. So, during the game, I'm getting him. We're going at it. I'm banging with him. Then, after the game, I'm on the flight, and I can't turn my neck. This was the first time that my brain was like 'What the [expletive] are you doing?'" Lining up against Williams in the trenches seems like hell, and it's no wonder that he had players contemplating their future in football after playing a full game against him. Williams missed seven games in 2024, and if the 49ers want to reach their potential in 2025, they'll need Williams to not only be on the field but also need him to play like the 11-time Pro Bowler he is. He's already guaranteed a spot in Canton five years after he calls it a career, but continuing to play well into his late 30s will only add to his legendary resume.
