CBS Sports is a franchise that makes sense for the Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens saw a few players take off at the wideout position in 2022, namely Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay.

When listing 12 trades that make sense across the NFL, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports named one for Baltimore, making them acquire New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims.

2022-23 CBS Sports College Basketball Preseason Awards: Our Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year

When the consensus national player of the year returns to college to be the star of a top-five team and projected power conference champion, conventional wisdom suggests he should be the subsequent preseason national player of the year.

But, in an interesting turn of events, most of my colleagues disagreed — which is why Gonzaga’s Drew Timme is the CBS Sports Preseason National Player of the Year.
