Is Trevon Moehrig Worthy of the Chiefs’ First-Round Pick? | Arrowhead Report
Let’s make this easy: yes.
Final Thoughts:
Moehrig, like Sorensen, is at his best when the play is in front of him. Unlike Sorensen, he’s a very good athlete with excellent range and a much higher ceiling. If the Chiefs are willing to trade some consistency for potential, Moehrig makes solid sense for them as the third part of a three-headed monster at the safety position. Pro Football Focus mocked him to the Chiefs at the end of the first round but because of a few minor question marks, he grades out as an early second-round pick with top-50 value.
Donna hero, former NFL star Norman Evans reflects on three super bowls | Valley Central
The Frogs didn’t have a player in the big game yesterday, but it’s worth hearing from a former great.
Norman earned 10 letters in his high school career, both from basketball and football. At TCU, he served as team captain and was awarded All-Southwest Conference.
After college, Norman was drafted in 1965 by the Houston Oilers. A year later, he was traded to the Miami Dolphins in the 1966 AFL expansion draft. It was there that he would be the starting right offensive tackle for the next decade. Taking a trip to the Super Bowl three times.
“I remember the first one was against Dallas, we lost that game. But it was really tense, a big deal playing the cowboys me being from Texas. Of course they beat us 14 to 7, but that was a stepping stone to the perfect season.”
The perfect season that Norm references, is the historic, notorious 1972 Miami Dolphins team. The year that the Dolphins remained undefeated, and won the Super Bowl.

TCU tries to sustain Iowa State’s misery | Yahoo Sports
Mon, February 8, 2021, 3:22 PM·2 min read
As TCU looks to build on its first victory in a month, reeling Iowa State will try again for its first Big 12 win of the season Tuesday as the teams meet in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Horned Frogs aim to hand the visiting Cyclones, who have not won a road game in almost two years, an eighth consecutive loss.
TCU (10-7, 3-5 Big 12) snapped a five-game losing streak — four against ranked teams — with an 81-78 home win over Oklahoma State on Feb. 3. RJ Nembhard (16.9 points per game) scored 20 points and Jaedon LeDee’s layup and free throw with four seconds left in regulation helped the Horned Frogs to their first win since Jan. 2.
In the last two games, TCU has shot 52.3 percent after shooting 36.7 in the previous four. Mike Miles (14.8 ppg) had 18 points against the Cowboys - the third straight game he’s scored at least that many.
“We’ve battled,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon said. “We’re getting better as a team ... We have opportunity to improve, get better. (There are) a lot of games left. We’ve got opportunities.”
