Bears head coach Matt Eberflus knew not all of his players would be thrilled to lose quarterback Justin Fields, so before the trade that sent Fields to Pittsburgh, Eberflus called Fields’ close friends on the team to touch base with them.

Joel Klatt College Football Analyst The bulk of NFL free agency has come and gone, which means it’s time for another mock draft. In my first mock draft, six quarterbacks went in the first round. The moves, or in one case, a non-move, have only led me to believe that there should still be six quarterbacks taken in the first …

Missouri football, as Tigers assistant Al Pogue put it, lost a lot of mileage at cornerback. The Tigers are tasked with replacing two NFL-bound corners, Kris Abrams-Draine and Ennis Rakestraw Jr., from their 11-2, Cotton Bowl-winning 2023 team. That’s a combined eight seasons and 63 games of college ball leaving Columbia. It’s not an easy ask for Mizzou to quickly …
