## Resource

This week, we discuss the proposed Protect College Sports Act and what a national NIL framework could mean for college athletics. Then we turn to the NFL and make our predictions for the AFC South and NFC South, including which teams can contend and which could be headed for a rebuild. Finally, we continue our annual NFL position rankings with the league's best cornerbacks and safeties heading into the 2026-27 season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
