NELSON IS READY: Jordy Nelson is ready to play again. That’s good news for the Packers who were really missing something without him last season.

BAYLOR HAS A BAD REPUTATION IN THE NFL TOO: It's hard for NFL teams to get the truth about players at Baylor. There are always a few schools that make it harder for teams to scout players ahead of the draft and get the kind of information they need, but Baylor's become the most notorious of them all. Said one Browns official: "It was hard to get information, and it was hard to trust information. They told us things that just weren’t true."
TAKING CREDIT: Odell Beckham Jr. gives himself credit for making Josh Norman relevant. That $75 million contract Josh Norman signed? He owes it all to Odell Beckham Jr.
