The Ohio State defense dominated college football this past season, leading the nation in allowing just 9.3 points per game and 219.1 yards per game. So it's no surprise that a pair of former Buckeyes defensive players are dominating the NFL Scouting Combine. Linebacker Sonny Styles and edge rusher Arvell Reese showed off their speed and jumping ability on Thursday during the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump measurements […]

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have granted Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in 2023, the opportunity to begin trade discussions, according to his agents Deiric Jackson and Chris Rogers at Legacy Sports Advisors. The agents spoke with general manager Chris Ballard at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Thursday, and the two parties agreed that a trade would be best for the 23-year-old quarterback.

INDIANAPOLIS — It has been about a month since quarterback Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers nearly upset the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the playoffs. It has been a couple of months since the Panthers decided to pick up Young’s fifth-year option.
