Giants' Safety Appears in NFL Position Rankings
Giants' Safety Appears in NFL Position Rankings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Giants invested a ton in free agent safety Jevon Holland this offseason. After four solid seasons in Miami, Holland inked a three-year, $45.3 million deal that includes $30 million guaranteed back in mid-March. Advertisement Holland was drafted with the No. 36 overall pick in 2021 and made a quick impression as a rookie. He earned All-Rookie honors and All-Pro honors from PFF. He didn't appear in ESPN's top 10 list of the best safeties, but he did earn an honorable mention. The list was compiled by Jeremy Fowler, who surveyed NFL executives, coaches and scouts. One of those executives cited a recent "regression" for why he might've missed the list. "I still love the skill set, but he drastically regressed last year, which was shocking to see from a young player in a contract year." -- NFL personnel director Advertisement But Holland's regression was slight last season. He appeared in 15 games and posted 62 tackles with 42 solo and two for loss. He added a sack and two QB hits. He also registered a forced fumble. The strength of his game was and still is "versatility." "He has that special buzzword -- versatility -- and can play deep safety and man-to-man out of the slot," ESPN's Cameron Wolfe wrote when Holland was drafted in 2021. "In fact, Holland played 64% of his coverage snaps in the slot at Oregon. Holland is a playmaker with nine interceptions over two seasons, which should help the Dolphins be better covering sideline-to-sideline and tackling speedy receivers." This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Barcelona enquire about 17-year-old Flamengo talent
Barcelona have been linked with a number of emerging teenage talents in recent months, and in particular, it seems they have an increased focus on Brazilian football since the arrival of Deco has Director of Football. The latest to reportedly make it onto their radar is Flamengo talent Ryan Roberto. Just 17 years of age, Roberto is a right-footed forward who stands out for his dribbling ability, and tends to operate on the left-hand side, cutting in field. So far he is yet to make his senior debut for Flamengo, but is appreciated by manager Filipe Luis, say Globo (via Sempre Barca). This season he has made four appearances for Flamengo's under-20 side, and scored once in the 'Copinha'. Move may be tricky for European giants The Brazilian outlet explain that for that reason, a departure for Roberto seems unlikely. Barcelona and Ajax have enquired about his availability, but being one of the richest clubs in Latin America, Flamengo will have little necessity to sell. Roberto arrived from Athletico Paranaense in 2023, but retained 50% of his rights. Flamengo have an option to purchase another 20% for €1.5m, but have not done so thus far. Image via VN Advertisement Latest Brazilian talent on Barcelona's radar Roberto has primarily made his name with Brazil's under-17 side, but has already spent time with under-20 side too. He is the latest Brazilian teenager to be linked with Barcelona, with Ze Lucas associated with the Catalan giants last month. There is some debate over how much interest there was from Barcelona's side in those links though. Barcelona were supposedly in advanced talks to sign Lucas, but nothing has come of it thus far. However in May, Barcelona also took 17-year-old Joao Lucas on trial at La Masia from Sao Paulo, albeit he ultimately returned back to Brazil with no sign of a deal on the horizon.
