New on SI: Chargers' Isaac Rochell on Los Angeles' D-Line: 'We're the Best in the Country'

Image
Los Angeles defensive lineman Isaac Rochell credits teammate Joey Bosa as being the best passer rusher in the league. Sheltering in place is a common theme for people around the world. The same goes for NFL players trying stay in shape and keep their sanity during a global pandemic. Sports Illustrated spoke with Chargers defensive lineman Isaac Rochell about what he’s doing to keep busy and stay in peak physical condition. Rochell just finished his third year in the NFL and considers himself blessed to live in Southern California, a place he describes as “the nicest part of the country.” Living in California certainly has its benefits, especially when it comes to exercise. Rochell says he “can go across the street to the beach and do beach workouts … it’s almost a blessing in disguise because it’s forced us to get out on the beach and do some sand workouts we wouldn’t normally do.” The 24-year-old lineman out of Notre Dame says the Chargers' defensive line is the best in the c...

New on SI: What's the Fantasy Football Impact for Chargers with Tyrod Taylor at QB?

The most baffling question of the NFL offseason: Are the Los Angeles Chargers really set on using Tyrod Taylor as their starting QB? Heading into 2020, there are a lot of teams who have played musical chairs with their starting quarterback. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers let NFL passing yards leader Jameis Winston leave so that they could sign Tom Brady, the Carolina Panthers waived Cam Newton to sign Teddy Bridgewater and the Los Angeles Chargers let Philip Rivers go and sign a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts. The Chargers were the runner-up in the Tom Brady sweepstakes, but after losing out of him, they have decided to use Tyrod Taylor as their starter and draft a rookie early on in this year’s NFL Draft. Does this move make sense? Interestingly, I think this is the correct move for the long-term success of the franchise. Bringing in a quarterback like Cam Newton or Jameis Winston would cost the team upwards of $25-30 million per season, which would take up a large amount of s...

New on SI: Terrell Davis Discusses Donation to Feeding America, Coronavirus Isolation and Tiger King

Hall of Fame running back turned NFL Network analyst and CBD beverage  entrepreneur, Terrell Davis, is typically very busy, especially during the NFL season. But now that he, like most of the country, is practicing self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, Davis finds himself with a lot more free time, which he happily welcomes.  Davis, a father of three, told Sports Illustrated he is taking full advantage of the extra down time by spending it with his family. "These are moments we otherwise wouldn't have gotten a chance to do." The former Broncos running back went on to say he is trying to "relish this moment because there is going to be a time when they get old and they move out and I won't have time to spend with them, so I'm trying to take advanta...

New on SI: Breaking Down Lamar Jackson's Lawsuit Against Amazon

One of the NFL's biggest superstars is suing America's online retail behemoth. How could this legal battle play out? Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson has quickly become one of the NFL’s best players. Last season, the 23-year-old threw for a league-leading 36 touchdowns against only six interceptions and he amassed 4,333 total yards (3,127 yards passing, 1,206 yards rushing). In doing so, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner thoroughly demolished the perception that he couldn't cut it as a quarterback in the NFL.  Jackson’s rapid ascension on the field has been matched by a surge in popularity. During the last month of the 2019 season, Jackson’s stardom generated the NFL’s number one selling jersey . Unlike other NFL stars, Jackson has eschewed endorsements with major footwear and clothing companies. He has instead launched his own brand, Era 8 Apparel , and also used trademark law to protect marks associated with his name. It’s safe to say that the “face of the NFL” for the foresee...

Brate on Brady: To receive passes from him will be "pretty surreal." With many of the world's sports leagues put on an indefinite hold while the health community deals with the coronavirus pandemic, one league that has perhaps been the least impacted is the NFL.

But how have players had their offseason routines been changed to deal with the current circumstances? To dig into that, Sports Illustrated sat down with Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate to discuss how he's been spending his offseason time, how he's adjusted his schedule and his reaction to the team signing Tom Brady in free agency. "Sadly it's really not too different," Brate said of his offseason routine. "You know, usually just try and get the workout in the morning and you know. I'm a homeowner now within the past year, so try to take care of s...

Before last season started, the public felt really good about two of the four teams that reside in the NFC East. The Dallas Cowboys were a team that many felt good about once Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper were all at camp, especially considering that the Cowboys' defense looked dominant the year prior.  The Philadelphia Eagles also looked like a team that could make a deep playoff run. Carson Wentz was healthy and the team belonged to him with Nick Foles gone. They added nice pieces on draft day, and they had the experience of being recent Super Bowl champions. There was also a lot of public interest in the New York Giants last season because their win total seemed manageable.
