Under 25 Offensive Team: Titans shine (TE TJ Hockenson:  I ranked Hockenson as the No. 5 tight end in the league entering 2021. In his first full season, the former Iowa Hawkeye caught 67 passes for 723 yards and six touchdowns. He ranked fourth among all tight ends in receptions, third in yards and tied for ninth in touchdowns. Hockenson was dangerous working the middle of the field and effective in the red zone. Additionally, he proved to be a solid run blocker. The Lions are not an incredibly fun team to watch, but Hockenson should be a household name soon enough.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-all-under-25-offensive-team-titans-have-most-first-teamers-behind-a-j-brown-qb-nod-to-lamar-jackson/

Which fan base most deserves a Super Bowl win in '21? (Scott Pioli -  I'm going slightly off script and showing support for two fan bases: those of the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns. Both teams are very proud franchises with glorious histories full of great players, coaches, owners and classic NFL characters -- all of whom helped grow this great game. Those figures had the "shoulders of giants" that our game now stands upon, and their fans are some of the NFL's best. However, the Cleveland Browns have not won a championship since 1964, and the Detroit Lions haven't since 1957.  Wouldn't it be great if these two organizations met in Super Bowl LVI? We can call it the "Rust Bowl" or "Battle of Lake Erie." (I know Detroit isn't ON Lake Erie, but it's on the Detroit River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair.) Think about all of those fans from two historic, blue-collar cities descending upon Los Angeles in February. (Plus, this would allow them to escape the snow and ice.) Not only do they need a championship, they deserve it!):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-season-which-nfl-fan-base-most-deserves-a-super-bowl-title
