TULSA, Okla. – Jon Rahm’s strength is even more pronounced this year. One of the game’s elite drivers over the past few seasons, he has taken his ball-striking to the next level and leads the PGA Tour in strokes gained: off the tee. “I haven’t changed anything, personally,” he said Tuesday ahead of the PGA Championship. But then he clarified that’s not quite true.   First, the stats: This season, Rahm is gaining a Tour-best 1.31 strokes per round off the tee – nearly a half-shot improvement over last season, when he ranked second on Tour. He’s more than seven yards longer, averaging 316.7 yards a pop. And he’s picked up 2 mph in swing speed, up to 120 mph, not insignificant when, at the highest levels, small tweaks can make big differences. Rahm said tha...

It can be pretty easy to find things to complain about as an NFL fan, even if you root for one of the best teams in the league. Maybe it’s the run defense in Kansas City, the passing game in Baltimore, or the offensive line in … well, every fan base thinks its offensive line could be better, so maybe that’s not the best example. The offseason is a time for optimism, though. All those issues that plagued your favorite team last season? They’ve been sorted out—unless you root for the Bears. And there’s reason to believe things will be different this time around. Just you watch! Much of that faith will look awfully silly by the end of September. But some teams truly do solve their biggest problem over the course of a spring. We saw this play out in Kansas City a year ago when, after watchin...

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that football fans love talking about two things: young players who are good and numerical lists. Accordingly, one yearly offseason tradition we have here at PFF is showing some love to the top young players in the NFL in the form of a top 25 players under 25 years of age. The cut-off for this list is that the players need to still be under 25 years old when the season begins. That means A.J. Brown and Kyler Murray, among others, are out. This list is not in order of who you’d take in a re-draft, and though positional value does factor into the ranking some due to role requirements, it’s not the main component. This is more of an overall talent recognition and accomplishment list. So have it. These are the top 25 players under the age of 25 for the ...

The billionaire owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys doubled down on his assertion that the NFL brand is just too big to break. And if America’s Team is the ultimate example, Jones is probably right. In a recent chat with Peter King of Football Morning in America, Jones once again recounted the principle that negative headlines don’t hurt the bottom line. “Let me tell you a story,” Jones told King. “A few years after I bought the team, I’m out in Los Angeles having lunch with David Hill and Ed Goren of Fox. At that time, Las Vegas Raiders Jerseys there were a lot of negative headlines about the Cowboys. Michael Irvin was in the headlines. People are saying, ‘The owner’s an outlaw!’ ...
