I'm thankful for a few things in the NFL world right now.
Firstly, I'm grateful that Kyler Murray is playing healthy football after 11 games without any major setbacks. This has been a priority for the Cardinals franchise, and it's great to see him thriving on the field.
Next, I appreciate the Chargers' approach under coach Jim Harbaugh, who's sticking to his principles and protecting his quarterbacks through investment in the offensive line and running back room. This has helped Justin Herbert regain his form as a dynamic passer.
I'm also thankful that Baker Mayfield is finally reaching his full potential after a promising start to his career. His production over the first 100 games stacks up solidly with Drew Brees, and he's keeping the Buccaneers competitive despite some key injuries.
Additionally, I'm optimistic about the Panthers' prospects under PJ Walker, who's shown improvement since taking back the starting job. Their best-case scenario is looking more achievable, and they might even make a playoff run.
Lastly, I'm excited to see the emergence of young talent in the NFL, including Arch Manning, who could be a top pick in the 2026 or 2027 draft class.
