It was soon apparent that this might be a highly from buryw's blog

In addition, there's the fact that there was already some speculations Brady could be returning with sources saying that No. 12 wasn't entirely sold on leaving the Madden NFL 23. despite making an announcement about his departure.

It was the "final touchdown catch" ball came on a 55-yard pass from Brady for Mike Evans in the fourth quarter of the NFC Divisional Playoff game against the Rams. At the time it was difficult to believe that the ball was important and Madden 23 coins, as such, Evans put the ball in the crowd.

It was soon apparent that this might be a highly, extremely important piece of memorabilia- or at least, it was. The ball was never returned back to Brady but it's now sold and kudos to the seller for moving on from the ball quickly and not storing it in the hope that it would grow in value.

Now the new owner is now holding the bag. The ball is still valuable but it's essentially useless compared to the half-million paid. When Brady inevitably throws another touchdown it'll be just another ball. Feel bad.

With the first round of 2022's Madden NFL 23 Draft just two weeks away, it's getting closer to making the selections and eliminating the stress of pre-draft which football fans have to live in. The period leading up to the draft can be stressful if you're a fan of an unlucky team, as we're all waiting to see if our team doesn't make a mistake. If your team has made it to the playoffs, great -and you're hoping that a bad team isn't able to make it happen and sees one of the most talented players fall.

So far, we've seen a variety of mock drafts from ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay on Tuesday, but this was their first mock that was a combined one of the season, featuring the two draft experts swapping picks all the way down to the third round. Today we're looking at the most significant things that leapt out at me while watching this mock.

I am a huge fan of Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker but I'm afraid we've reached a silly season with Travon Walker. Walker was a mid-to-late round pick before the Combine after which he amazed anyone with his athletic potential and then his stock has jumped way above the norm.

Kiper is Walker going No. 2 overall for the Lions and he's arguing that they stick with pass rush, regardless of Aidan Hutchinson being off the list (he's chosen No. 1). On some level , I see I understand it. Walker is the perfect size to play a 4-3 defender with the kind of athleticism typically reserved for a edge rusher in a 3-4. The issue I'm trying to find a way to reconcile this kind of a gamble by making a top five pick on the player who scored 9.5 sacks in college ... in total.

I'm not saying that raw stats aren't the be all, end all for college pass rushers, but here's the thing that scares me: in the top 10 leaders in sacks for the buy mut 23 coins last year the only player to not have at least a 10.0 sacks per game in the college.
