The New York Giants have several rookies who could win starting jobs in the upcoming NFL season. Malachi Fields, a wide receiver, may have the best chance due to the team’s need for reliable targets and questions about other players’ availability.
Key Facts
The Giants are in the NFL offseason, with training camp starting soon and the regular season beginning in early September.
The Giants’ 2026 draft class includes several rookies who might start, such as Arvell Reese (linebacker) and Francis Mauigoa (offensive tackle).
Malachi Fields, a wide receiver drafted in the third round, is noted for his size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds) and ability to win contested catches.
Fields averaged 17.5 yards per catch at Notre Dame and had over 50 catches and 800 yards in both 2023 and 2024 college seasons.

At the World Cup, new video replay rules and technology have changed some important decisions in key matches. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) reviews helped send off Switzerland’s Breel Embolo and disallowed goals for Germany and Croatia, influencing the outcomes of these games.
Key Facts
Switzerland’s Breel Embolo was given a second yellow card and sent off after VAR review showed he simulated a foul, even though the referee missed it initially.
The “mistaken identity” rule allows VAR to correct when the wrong player is penalized for a foul.
Germany’s Jonathan Tah had a goal disallowed after VAR found a foul on the goalkeeper, contributing to Germany’s elimination.
Germany’s coach Julian Nagelsmann resigned after their World Cup exit, with Jurgen Klopp expected to take over.
Croatia’s late goal was ruled offside due to data from a high-tech soccer ball with sensors detecting very slight touches.
The in-ball sensors record data 500 times per second, helping referees make accurate calls.
Many players and coaches expressed frustration with these new technologies and rules, saying they affect the spirit of the game.
Egypt led 2-0 against Argentina but eventually lost as VAR decisions influenced the match.

The Los Angeles Rams have a rookie tight end, Max Klare, who might earn a starting spot in the 2026 season. Klare showed strong performance at Ohio State and could fill the team's need for a top tight end as they prepare for training camp and the upcoming NFL season.
Key Facts
The NFL offseason is almost over, with training camp starting soon and the regular season beginning in early September.
The Rams' 2026 rookie class includes five players, with Max Klare being the most likely to start.
Max Klare is a tight end who caught 43 passes for 448 yards and 2 touchdowns last year at Ohio State.
The Rams have a strong passing offense led by quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
The team currently does not have a standout tight end like George Kittle or Brock Bowers.
Last season, the Rams used several tight ends in rotation instead of relying on one main player.
Colby Parkinson is expected to start as the main tight end, but Klare could quickly move up the ranks.
Some thought the Rams would choose a wide receiver in the first round of the draft, so Klare’s role as a tight end may bring him many chances to catch the ball.
