NFL latests news in 2021? “Think of the best defenders in Premier League history — John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Nemanja Vidic. [Virgil] Van Dijk is all three players rolled into one.” Those were the words of former Liverpool and England star Jamie Redknapp, according to Goal. A bold statement, but one difficult to argue with given just how excellent the Dutchman has been since his move to Anfield in early 2018. His Terry-esque heart, his Ferdinand-esque brain, and Vidic-esque physicality have transformed Liverpool’s back four into the best in Europe. Should Jurgen Klopp’s side win its first ever Premier League title as expected this season, a lot of credit will, and rightly so, go to Van Dijk.
This dude is the real deal. Only in his second season at age 21, Luka Doncic has the potential to not only be the best player in the league one day but also one of the all time greats. The kid can score, pass, shoot and rebound all at a high level. He is only scratching the surface of what he can be as a player, and after carrying the Mavericks to the playoffs this season, they will be feared for years to come. Doncic has done enough in his two seasons in the league to be considered one of the best players in the NBA already, and he will only improve from here.

After the revelation earlier this month that Fury and Joshua have agreed financial terms for two fights from next year, the two Britons can be reasonably expected to improve their ranking in the Forbes list if the biggest fight in boxing becomes a reality. Just as the rivalry and fights between Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis made them among sport’s biggest earners in the 1990s and early 2000s, so Fury, Joshua and Wilder have the opportunity to amass great wealth through a series of fights against each other. Tyson Fury topped the list of heavyweight boxers featuring on the Forbes list with $57 million.
What am I most excited about? The quick answer is the energy Sunday brings, especially when the leaderboard is closely stacked. The popular answer is to see if Tiger’s back can hold out. But the truthful answer is I want to see if Rory can become the Rory we’ve been waiting to see. He’s got four majors. He’s the World No. 1. He’s been PGA Tour Player of the Year three times, including last season. What else could you want, you ask?
The reigning Super Bowl MVP is my model’s top-rated QB next season, narrowly edging out the current highest-paid QB (Russell Wilson). Next Gen Stats shows that Mahomes threw 25 touchdowns on deep passes over the past two seasons, the most in the NFL, and he also had the second-highest yards-per-attempt mark targeting receivers aligned in the slot last season (10.5). So while the 10th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft does have two years remaining on his deal, it would behoove the Chiefs to get something done as soon as possible, both to reward the player who helped drive their championship run — and to lock him in now before his price rises even higher.
