Ranking 10 options for Eagles in NFL Draft's second round: Will Howie Roseman draft a WR early?
If finding a reasonable sample of 10 players to rank at No. 23 was challenging enough, then good luck paring a list to 10 at No. 54 overall. The best-case scenario for the Eagles is that some of the strong potential options who weren’t listed among the first-round options slip to Day 2, whether it’s Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor, Utah’s Caleb Lomu or Kent State safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. The Eagles could be aggressive trading up in that case, as they did with Cooper DeJean in...

Is Caleb Williams the real 'Iceman'? Or does nickname belong to Gervin and others?
Years ago, I found myself talking to Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams about his lyrical nickname, “Sweet Swinging Billy Williams from Whistler, Alabama.” What it lacked in brevity, it made up for with style.Williams got the name “Sweet Swinging” when he played in the Texas League in 1959 and it carried on to Chicago.Advertisement
