Why did teams pass on Dolphins’ Preston Williams?

He goes by the unicorn. But there isn’t just a solitary reason why a player of Preston Williams’ talent was available to the Miami Dolphins after the draft. Our Chris Kouffman (@CKParrot) called this when the Dolphins signed Preston Williams, gushing over his tape. And even as Williams flashed on the Davie field, day after […]

Jarren Williams is the Hurricanes’ QB1

Well, that was suspenseful. Manny Diaz, the new coach of the Miami Hurricanes, hadn’t revealed much about the quarterback competition between holdovers Jarren Williams and N’Kosi Perry, and transfer Tate Martell.

Preston Williams, the undrafted free agent that our Chris Kouffman (@CKParrot) told you all about on the day he signed, was the star of the Dolphins’ 34-27 win in their preseason opener.

The Heat’s 2017 first round pick was a metrics standout after he finally replaced Whiteside in the starting lineup last season, and the Heat — publicly and privately — have not been shy about their feelings for […]

Miami Heat fans need a Herro… and a Xanax

Prefacing this by saying we love you all. (We need you, anyway.) But Miami Heat fans can be a little neurotic at times.
