Ranking every NFL starting quarterback ahead of the 2018 season (9. Stafford:  One of these years, Matthew Stafford will eliminate those handful of easily avoidable mistakes he seems to make every game and develop into a top-five quarterback. He certainly has the skill-set to be among the NFL’s elite, with that arm and ability to read defenses. Stafford just has a little too much faith in his arm and not enough consistency with his mechanics for us to put him there now. Even if it feels like he’s been in the league forever, he’s still only 30, so there’s still plenty of time for him to take that step.):   https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/09/2018-nfl-quarterback-rankings-tom-brady-aaron-rodgers

Local impact: The pipeline from the Vegas Valley to the NFL is growing (Tyrell Crosby, Detroit Lions offensive tackle: Detroit made it an offseason priority to retool its offensive line, and the rookie Green Valley High graduate will be among the new players tasked with leading the turnaround. He’s expected to be the primary reserve at both tackle spots, but could emerge as a starter if he’s as successful as he was collegiately at Oregon. Crosby missed his junior season with the Ducks after breaking his foot — injury concerns may have been part of the reason he slipped to the fifth round of this year’s draft — but didn’t allow a single sack as a senior. Miles Killebrew, Detroit Lions safety/linebacker: Killebrew was a late bloomer, breaking out as a senior at Foothill High and earning a single scholarship offer from Southern Utah, where he starred in the Football Championship Subdivision level of college football. Now he just keeps getting better. Killebrew has seen action in all 32 Lions games over the past two seasons and should continue to see consistent work as he transitions to linebacker under new coach Matt Patricia this season.):  https://lasvegassun.com/news/2018/sep/09/local-impact-the-pipeline-from-the-vegas-valley-to/
