In Defense of Ageism, Part II: The Undervalued Rookie Running Back You Want on All Your Teams
Blair Andrews
June 8, 2022
Blair Andrews turns to the running back position to examine the effects of draft age. How much of a difference does it make, if any?

In Defense of Ageism: Why Drake London Is the Top Rookie Wide Receiver in 2022 (and Why It Could Also Be Jameson Williams)
Blair Andrews
June 3, 2022
Earlier this offseason I made an appearance on Ship Chasing to participate in a rookie mock draft. I had the second pick and took Drake London, explaining that I was breaking the tie between him and Treylon Burks in favor of London because he is more than a year younger than Burks. The responses in the comments included joking accusations of ageism. All I can…...

Blair Andrews
April 29, 2022
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added the final piece in their Super Bowl aspirations by picking Rachaad White at No. 91. Will White convince the Bucs to stop wasting downs on throws to Leonard Fournette?

Blair Andrews
April 29, 2022
The Buffalo Bills got their running back, selecting James Cook at No. 63 overall — the second-to-last pick in the second round. But Can Cook take over lead duties from Devin Singletary?

Blair Andrews
April 29, 2022
The New York Giants selected the diminutive Wan’Dale Robinson at. No. 43, adding more weapons for Daniel Jones after deciding not to pick up his fifth-year option.

Blair Andrews
April 28, 2022
