The Covid-19 pandemic has caused shut down and delays all over society. The NBA has been shut down since March 11th and that has caused a delay for college basketball players that are early entrants to the 2020 NBA draft.

Given the uncertainty of so much, it would not be a surprise if fringe players with remaining eligibility return. According to...

It is not often that a football team can find their future offensive leader and their future defensive leader in the same draft. The Los Angeles Chargers hope that they just accomplished that in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Chargers used two 1st round picks to acquire their quarterback of the future on offense and the quarterback of the future on their defense. Here is a synopsis of all six Charger draft picks from the 2020 NFL draft held on April 23rd through April 25th: Round 1A – Justin H...
When the Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers mutually agreed to part ways earlier this year, it left the team without a franchise quarterback or a quarterback of the future for the first time in about two decades. That hole lasted just a few months. With the 6th pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Chargers selected their quarterback of the future, Justin Herbert of the Oregon Ducks. Herbert has all the tools to be an NFL franchise quarterback. Herbert is 6-feet-6, 236 pounds....
