History says highly touted rookie tight ends don’t always make a major impact right away

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:57:33 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — This rookie class of tight ends already made quite an impact on the draft.They’ll have to buck history if they’re going to leave the same type of impression on the field this year. Tight end arguably is the toughest position for rookies to make huge contributions.Detroit Lions coach Matt Campbell, who played tight end in the NFL from 1999-2008, understands why.“I always make this argument: Besides the quarterback, the tight ends have to know more than anybody else offensively,” said Campbell, who played for the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and Lions. “You’ve got to know it all.”Campbell has high hopes for Sam LaPorta, the tight end Detroit drafted out of Iowa in the second round. LaPorta was one of nine tight ends selected in the first three rounds of the recent draft, the highest total since the common draft era began in 1967.The others are Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid (formerly at Utah), Las Vegas’ Michael Mayer (Notre Dame), Green Bay’s Luke Musgrave (Oregon...

Los republicanos de Carolina del Norte habían pedido al máximo tribunal federal que dejara a las legislaturas estatales prácticamente sin supervisión por parte de sus tribunales estatales cuando se trata de elecciones federales.John Roberts, presidente de la Corte Suprema, escribió en la decisión de la mayoría que “los tribunales estatales conservan la autoridad para aplicar restricciones constitucionales estatales cuando las legislaturas actúan bajo el poder que les confiere la Cláusula Electoral. Pero los tribunales federales no deben abandonar su propio deber de eje...
