Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins is visiting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday after visiting with the Houston Texans on Monday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Judkins also has a visit scheduled with the Denver Broncos later in the week. The Bengals are also looking at fellow Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson, as it's clear that they want to lessen Chase Brown's workload out of the backfield in 2024 after he had 229 carries for 990 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games in his second year in the NFL. The 21-year-old Judkins had 4,227 total yards and 50 touchdowns in his collegiate career on 798 touches. He has the physical skills to be a true three-down back at the next level, which means it's possible that he'll come off the board in the first round of this year's NFL draft. Cincy's first pick in 2025 will come at No. 17 overall.



The Las Vegas Raiders traded for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith last month before signing him to a two-year, $75 million contract this week. The move reunited Smith back with former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, a reconnection the two are excited about. "I think there is unfinished business, and I think when people think about my story, you know, coach Carroll was a big part of that," Smith said. "He gave me an opportunity when not many people would have. He saw the hard work that I was putting in, he saw the things behind the scenes that I do that allow me to get this opportunity." Smith enjoyed the best season of his career under Carroll in 2022, passing for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. While Smith will be on the fantasy football radar in superflex and two-QB leagues, he'll likely be a fringe starter in single-QB setups in a rebuilding Raiders offense. However, tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers give him formidable weapons to put together a solid passing attack.

Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams was a former teammate of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who is tracking as Tennessee's pick at No. 1 overall in this year's NFL draft. Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz was also Williams' offensive coordinator when he played at UNLV. It would make a lot of sense for the Titans to target the young pass-catcher with their second-round pick (No. 35 overall) to pair him with a familiar face in Ward. Tennessee added veteran Van Jefferson in free agency this offseason, but they are certainly going to look to upgrade at the position behind WR1 Calvin Ridley in this year's draft. Williams has excellent run-after-the-catch ability and had 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in his final college season in 2024.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was once viewed as a potential top-five selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his stock has seemingly been falling over the last few weeks. Now, the New Orleans Saints, who hold the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, are listed by DraftKings with the best odds (+275) of taking Sanders among all NFL teams. In ESPN's Mel Kiper's latest mock draft on Tuesday, he has New Orleans pulling the trigger on Sanders in the nine-hole. While the Saints still have Derek Carr on the roster, the search for the quarterback of the future could already be underway under new head coach Kellen Moore. Sanders, who threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in his final collegiate season, could fit that bill. If he's taken by New Orleans, he'll likely spend at least a chunk of his rookie season on the bench.

FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders for a visit on Thursday. Schultz also notes that Pittsburgh remains "very interested" in veteran QB Aaron Rodgers but has done extensive work on this year's slew of signal-callers. The Steelers hold the No. 21 pick. Sanders has been a polarizing prospect throughout the pre-draft process, linked to a few teams now, scattered throughout the first round. He was an accurate distributor in his senior season, posting career highs across the board, averaging 318.0 passing yards per game. It will be interesting to see how high the 23-year-old is selected and the situation he finds himself in. Sanders was often schemed open throws underneath last year at Colorado, contributing to his outstanding 74% completion rate. We'll see if he can elevate his play on the NFL field.
