Julian Hill will save lives, Part I: Underworld Trailer to trailer, Julian Hill had no clue what he'd see next. He lived on the brink in Fayetteville, N.C. Today? The Miami Dolphins tight end will serve as the "hope of light."

Julian Hill -> #Patriots.

Here’s our series from a year ago on the vet tight end. He grew up homeless. Now, he’s out to save lives.

The Promise of Aaron Jones It took until this year to truly come to grips with his father's death. The Minnesota Vikings running back is fueled by their final hours together. His sights are set on Canton.

Aaron Jones, still going strong. Restructures his deal with the #Vikings.

Holy hell.

Las Vegas Raiders announce that the Baltimore Ravens have backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade.

Hold onto your butts.

The Real Romeo Romeo Doubs is taking these playoffs by storm. We sit down with the wide receiver who escaped South Central Los Angeles. He's unlike anyone else at his position.

Romeo Doubs is heading to the #Patriots.

A long road to Foxborough. Our story from a couple years back:

Fear... the Cincinnati Bengals? If this defense can get back to its ’21 and ’22 level, Cincinnati can absolutely win the whole thing. Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook fill two glaring holes.

General competence on defense can win them the AFC North. Get back to that ’21 and ’22 level and they can win the whole thing.

On Boye Mafe, Bryan Cook and why the #Bengals won the first wave of free agency. www.golongtd.com/p/fear-the-c...

Many reasons to love the new Malik Willis + #Dolphins union. Top of the list? Everyone in charge saw Willis the 498 days he wasn't running 'n throwing on the field as Green Bay's QB since acquiring him from Tenn. Real hope for a team eating $200 million.

Love what the Bengals are up to. Out is one of the worst tackling safeties (Geno Stone). In is one of the best tackling safeties (Bryan Cook). Botched this Trey Hendrickson stuff obv — should’ve gotten trade comp a year ago — but Boye Mafe has a ton of upside with that first step off the edge.

Interesting to see the Chicago Bears' website post stories about Kevin Warren’s great niece and exec assistant recently. Right in line with how the team’s president has tried manipulating the narrative in the past. www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-d...

Here’s a replay of our free agency bonanza with Jim Monos at Go Long. Breaking the deals down as they happen with many stories from the road. www.golongtd.com/p/replay-202...

'He’s that guy:' NFL WR coach on DJ Moore How many prime years does he have left? What makes him different than other WR1's? Go Long chats with one coach who worked the new Buffalo Bills wideout daily.

"The only guy who runs better with the ball in his hands to me is Ja’Marr Chase."

One coach offers insight into new #Bills WR: DJ Moore.

"Football," with Chuck Klosterman It's one of the best books written on the sport. Let's chat with the author.

Good evening! Let's stare deep into our football souls with the sensational Chuck Klosterman.

"Football" is a masterpiece. Loved chatting with Chuck on the pod.

Why the D.J. Moore trade is a win for the Buffalo Bills Nobody will remember what this cost the Bills come January when a potential game-winner flutters downfield. Brandon Beane was overdue for a gamble like this.

One ball traveled 63 yards in the air at Orchard Park. One ball, 58 yards in Chicago. The two plays were eerily similar in their aesthetics. The results? Quite different.

If this works out, nobody will give a damn what it cost to acquire DJ Moore.

Aaron Rodgers poking his head out of a darkness retreat to see Maxx Crosby join the AFC North…

T.J. Lang, uncut Cheap-shot his quarterback? Expect to eat dirt. Everyone always knew where this ex-Packer stood. We chat at length with a man who never, ever minces words.

Cheap-shot his QB? Expect to eat dirt. Everyone knew exactly where he stood. All highs, all lows. Man, I loved this conversation with the great T.J. Lang. www.golongtd.com/p/tj-lang-un...

Bed Bugs and Belief: Why Ashton Grant is the man to maximize Drake Maye The voice in the ear of last season's MVP runner-up came a long way. In related news? New England isn't going anywhere any time soon.

The #Patriots could — and should — be active this March. But the No. 1 reason to believe Drake Maye will reach another level? Meet Ashton Grant, the QBs coach once eaten alive by bed bugs about, oh, 230 miles from Foxborough.

Pod for you this weekend, in which we ask how Lil Wayne has 10 bathrooms “to shit all day,” yet the Steelers’ entire organization gets by with five.

Malik Willis should make north of $30M per year. Here's why. Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers must enter the bidding, too. We take a closer look at this year's top prize in free agency.

Can Malik Willis save your franchise?

Malik Willis should make north of $30M per year. Here's why. Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers must enter the bidding, too. We take a closer look at this year's top prize in free agency.

Art Rooney II doesn’t want to pay for a sixth bathroom stall. Fine. The #Steelers should pony up for Malik Willis. Closer you look, the more that $30M+ figure makes a ton of sense.

Is this the next fairy-tale story? We examine. www.golongtd.com/p/malik-will...
