Crazy that a 7-year NFL vet’s footwork is more technically advanced than the rookie — who is also working a completely different technique.
Just got word that Chase Lucas made the 53-man roster for the Detroit Lions, per source. A sure to be gratifying moment for the eccentric former ASU cornerback.
Arizona State.
Still the last team to beat undefeated and Natty-bound Washington.
Still the last team to hold this offensive juggernaut to zero touchdowns.
Unreal.
The point of creating these fun and expressive mouthguards is so the players actually want to wear a mouthguard at all times.
There are so many rules in football that need to be followed. Why spend energy on such a minor detail that is actually helping reduce dental injuries?
Las Vegas Raiders LB Darien Butler has made the team’s 53-man roster, per source.
Butler, an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State, led his group in tackles in every preseason game. Butler’s position coach, Antonio Pierce, was his college defensive coordinator.

Brock Bowers.
More than just a distinguished TE.
The most versatile weapon in the draft.
Nastiness blocking for the run.
Soft and reliable hands as a problematic chess piece in the pass game.
Route precision. YAC. Toughness.
You name it, he’s got it.
An instant asset to…
Text from a source in Texas on Arizona State’s hirings of Ra’Shaad Samples and Bryan Carrington:
“Shoot ASU just got the best recruiting combo in the nation.”
#Browns
WR Josh Gordon is currently training at the facilities in Gainesville, FL. Gators employees that he talked to say the rumor is he wants nothing to do with Hard Knocks, the reason for his absence from training camp.
Overhauled an entire coaching staff in roughly two weeks.
Signed the most transfers of any Power Five school.
Swooped in to land Jaden Rashada, a top 10 nationally ranked QB recruit, when he became available.
Take a bow, Kenny Dillingham.
Arizona State is rumored as a destination for Clemson transfer QB DJ Uiagalelei.
A former five-star recruit, Uiagalelei posted 2,521 passing yards, 22 TD, and 7 INT this season. Rocket arm, good perimeter touch, big frame. Kenny Dillingham's work with Bo Nix should intrigue him.
Two weeks ago, Davante Adams burned Richard Sherman in the NFC Championship using a quick jab to the right off the line.
Sammy Watkins used the same release and route in the
#SuperBowl
to put the Chiefs within scoring distance.
Practice ended 15 minutes ago and Arizona State freshman QB Jaden Rashada is the last to leave the field as he refines his five-step dropback.
@DevilsDigest
Arizona State is making a strong push to flip USC commit WR Ja’Kobi Lane.
Lane is expected to take an official visit soon. At 6-5 and 180 pounds, Lane high-points the ball with ease for difficult catches out of frame. The Red Mountain product is a true fade ball specialist.
Emory Jones and Trenton Bourguet went back-to-back in team period today. The ASU coaching staff called nearly identical route sets for each QB.
Jones overthrew two players and was intercepted by Ed Woods off a muffed ball. Bourguet completed all of his passes.
@DevilsDigest
BREAKING: Oregon transfer OL Bram Walden has committed to Arizona State.
Walden prepped at Saguaro High School under new tight ends coach Jason Mohns. Was the No. 2 recruit in the state for the 2021 class.
Arizona State extended an offer to WR Dorian Singer, who led the Pac-12 in receiving yards, just an hour after he entered the transfer portal.
Singer blasts the top off defenses and wins at the catch point with elite body control. Kenny Dillingham's offense was built for him.
RGIII is so impressive. In less than two years as an ESPN analyst, he has established himself as one of the network's best. Love the way he breaks down the game for his audience.
Thank you,

I poured all of my passion into covering Arizona State football. Two amazing years on the beat spent with the most talented friends. Always dedicated to creating great content for a truly one-of-a-kind audience.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world! 👉…
Arizona State’s 2023 class currently holds the No. 54 spot in the
@Rivals
team rankings. Remember, Kenny Dillingham had just over three weeks to assemble his staff and recruit.
The Sun Devils finished 95th under Herm Edwards a year ago.
Arizona State QB Trenton Bourguet has taken zero sacks, completed 69% of his passes, and thrown for 16 first downs against the blitz.
Why
@Trenton__B16
believes flag football is the reason for his efficiency in the face of pressure:
Doesn’t change the outcome, but officials should’ve probably called this blatant contact to take Chris Hogan out of action on the game’s final play.
#SuperBowl
Isaiah Simmons making a ragdoll of Javonte Williams en route to spearheading Sam Howell is one of the most disgusting acts I have ever seen on a football field.
The Sun Devils are extremely fortunate to have a football ambassador with the character and class that
@Jclark21_
exhibits in response to controversy.
Stand-up player and leader.
Two USC commits have yet to sign today, including WR Ja'Kobi Lane.
Arizona State made a strong push in recent weeks for the talented Red Mountain recruit.
If Jaden Rashada signs with Arizona State on Feb. 1, it would be a monumental recruiting win for Kenny Dillingham.
Adding a coveted QB, one with a strong chance to develop into a multi-year starter, within his first two months as head coach is top-tier program kickstart fuel.
Kyle Hamilton on draft day will be Derwin James all over again.
Blue chip prospect drops down the board because of positional value and becomes a defensive cornerstone for the team that stops his fall, which will likely be a much better situation anyway.

USC WR Dorian Singer earned a 99.9 receiving grade from PFF on deep routes last season.
That’s essentially a perfect score.
I am particularly interested to see how Lincoln Riley maximizes Singer’s ability to go on bombing runs within his scheme…

You thought the Warriors superteam was good? This squad would have a chance to be even better.
Chad Johnson Jr. (

"I'm like 'wow' he's 50 and can still move like that." 😂
Some may disagree, but I believe the “Matty Ice” nickname belongs to

QB Matthew Stafford, not Matt Ryan.
Stafford has 15 4th-quarter comebacks over the last four seasons, which is more than any other QB in the league.
Ryan only has 7.
Going to miss Rachaad White hurdling defenders on Saturdays but excited to watch him do it in a different uniform on Sundays.
Thanks for an electric two years of ASU football

I have not seen anything from Jayden Daniels that I did not see at ASU. Late on his reads, too early to scramble, late blitz diagnosis, miscommunication with receivers.
It’s disappointing that Brian Kelly has not aided his development more. That’s my take from the first half.
Love the smoothness of Utah CB Clark Phillips III. Watch him match Drake London’s anchor and plant steps at the top of his route and extend himself in front of the catch point.
He was pledged to Ohio State until the final hours of signing day. Extra motivation for the Rose Bowl.

WR Stefon Diggs:
-has not spoken to the media in over two weeks
-posted cryptic messages on social media
-followed numerous Patriots players on Instagram
-missed practice today for an unknown reason

The first pass breakup of many for Jack Jones. He got in front of this throw quick.
His short-area explosion and ball skills are already making an impact on the Patriots.
QB Israel Carter to
@DevilsDigest
:
“I’m all about loyalty. . . I don’t want to just commit to a coaching staff; I’m gonna commit to the team, to the city, and to the fans. Every time I was at ASU, they showed me love, showed me a lot of support, and I’ve felt at home there.”
Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham introduced a 1v1 arena-style contest between the WR and DB groups. It was an immediate hit with the players.
Matchups are picked based on who is most competitive with each other.
Will be fun to track these mini rivalries through the spring.
Jaden Rashada was just the tip of the iceberg for Arizona State’s recruiting rise.
Kenny Dillingham and Co. are already earning 2024 pledges and scheduling official visits. They are relentless.
A couple highlights from Texas A&M transfer DL Anthony Lucas against Alabama last season.
The former 5⭐️ would be the crown jewel of Arizona State's impressive transfer portal class. Plus, Lucas and Kenny Dillingham both graduated from Chaparral High School.
Kenny Dillingham said Arizona State was going to have more fun than any team in the country.
There is currently a basketball hoop on one of the fields and players are having a shoot-off with the whole team watching. Safe to say I haven’t ever seen anything like this before.
Hollywood Brown wanted to be traded to an offense that would involve him. Through five weeks, the Arizona Cardinals have delivered.
Routes run - 2nd in NFL
Targets - 2nd
Catches - 4th
Receiving yards - 6th
Kenny Dillingham and Vince Amey received a commitment from Contra Costa (Calif.) CB Adonis Forrest within hours after extending an offer.
I remember
@JaelenStrong
saying he wanted Arizona State to go after more JUCO kids. It looks like the program is headed in that direction.
The Mike Williams deal locks in a defensive prospect for the Chargers in round one.
I saw Olave or Jamo as good fits, but I think both would have played in the slot anyway.
Get the players that match Staley’s defensive philosophy first. Then find a separator later in the draft.
Burrito Express continues to be a shining example of what NIL should be all about.
They treat their athletes like family. It’s more than a business deal.
