“Trade talks or any sort of buzz around that has cooled,” Fowler said “There was a little bit of smoke out of the draft they want to keep all their arsenal intact because of the quarterback situation.” If Pickens had gone through with a trade request the team likely would’ve looked to accommodate it rather than have an unhappy Pickens on the roster He’s entering a contract year in 2025 and he probably won’t receive an extension prior to the season he could’ve gone to a team that may have looked to lock him long-term He also could’ve gone to a team where he would’ve been the No 1 receiver instead of being in a room with the recently-acquired DK Metcalf playing with Metcalf could free up Pickens in the passing game after being Pittsburgh’s clear-cut No Pickens could face softer coverage that will allow him to continue to be productive Pickens and Metcalf have the potential to be one of the best receiver duos in the league Pickens unfollowed the team on Instagram at some point since the Metcalf trade While he may have considered his future with the team for a period of time it seems as if both the Steelers and Pickens are committed to keeping him with the team for at least the upcoming season but if George Pickens is bought in as it seems he is there’s a lot of potential for him to have a big season in 2025 across from Metcalf The only question is who’s going to be throwing them the football Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet We use ads to fund this site and continue to bring you premium Steelers content If you like what you see on this site, we now have an ad-free option available for a donation of $25 per year and you can enjoy the site entirely ad-free Additionally, if you'd like to donate above and beyond the ad-free option, you can donate via PayPal as well We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money The family of Annie Fowler created this Life Tributes page to make it easy to share your memories Made with love by funeralOne Joshua Hall LIVERPOOL legend Robbie Fowler has urges his former club to veer away from their usual transfer model this summer Fowler, 50, has revealed who he would like to see The Reds sign up front if they can't sign Newcastle United ace Alexander Isak Liverpool are thought to be in the market for a new striker this summer after Darwin Nunez's minutes have dried up under boss Arne Slot Magpies front-man Isak has been the biggest name linked with the Anfield outfit but Liverpool bosses could be deterred by his mega £150MILLION asking price who is currently undertaking a two-year sports directorship course with the PFA reckons that he knows who they should sign in the Swede's place Speaking to the i Paper, Fowler urged Liverpool to sign Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins instead “You could look at Ollie Watkins He doesn’t really fit the model in terms of what Liverpool want but I’d go and get him for a couple of years because he’s a tremendous player and established and experienced in the Premier League.” Watkins has fallen out of favour at Aston Villa this term, with boss Unai Emery preferring loanee Marcus Rashford in the second half of the season. However the 29-year-old striker has still managed 22 goal contributions in 35 Premier League appearances this season While he racked up 34 goal contributions in a full campaign for Villa last season Alexander Isak has cemented himself as one of Europe's deadliest striker this season The former Real Sociedad bagsman is the Prem's second-top goal scorer this season with 23 goals in 32 games But the Toon hierarchy know his worth, reportedly slapping a £150m price tag on the 25-year-old who they spent £63m on themselves back in 2022 Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes. For further details of our complaints policy and to make a complaint please click this link: thesun.co.uk/editorial-complaints/ (1:45)Mike Tannenbaum and Adam Schefter discuss whether Tyler Shough can be a franchise quarterback despite his injury history And could we even see some trades this week Dan Graziano and Adam Rittenberg have spent the past few days making calls to people around the NFL and college football Here's all of the last-minute buzz they've heard on the 2025 draft Let's begin with what we're hearing on the quarterback class Fowler: The Titans have decided to stay in the No. 1 spot, and the entire league expects the pick to be Miami quarterback Cam Ward They've done considerable homework on Ward spent quality time with him and his family on multiple occasions and are comfortable with not only his football ability but also his makeup off the field But what happens next in the QB class is anyone's guess When I asked an NFL general manager how many QBs will go in the first round he referenced the current Vegas line of 2.5 as "about right." Finding a clear-cut home for Colorado's Shedeur Sanders is not easy Many teams I've spoken to now expect Sanders to fall out of the top 10 though they also point to an outside chance that the Giants take him at No There isn't much momentum that the Saints will take him at No The Steelers have an appreciation for his game but with big needs on defense and no second-round pick they could eschew the position entirely at No multiple teams I've spoken to still have Pittsburgh loosely earmarked as an intriguing option for Sanders the Steelers look like the spot to watch for Sanders if he's going to go in the first round He made a strong positive impression on their coaching staff during the predraft process and not having the second-round pick might actually mean the Steelers could stretch for a QB on Day 1 But Pittsburgh has other needs -- most prominently defensive tackle and running back -- and could absolutely use its pick on one of the many well-regarded interior defensive linemen in this class If the Steelers are going to go DT in the first round my sense is they would prefer to trade down a bit and add another Day 2 selection if possible They might need it if they're planning to address quarterback before the draft is over had he been coming out with the rest of the group Fowler: One back-pocket thought I keep going back to: The Browns like Sanders' processing ability at the line of scrimmage including two third-rounders and four sixth-rounders So packaging picks to trade into the middle-to-late first round seems feasible or even trading up into the first round to pick one Thursday night play0:55Mason Taylor's NFL draft profileCheck out some stats and info from draft prospect Mason Taylor of LSU Fowler: I got the same line from three different executives when I asked about Dart potentially going in the top 15: I don't expect it While one will suggest his status as a potential first-round pick could be more of a media creation than reality another believes he's tracking for the first round because of his arm talent Steelers and Giants all seem like options here Graziano: Dart is getting a lot of late buzz and I don't think it would be a surprise at this point if he were the second quarterback taken I've also heard speculative connections to the Browns and Rams It's possible that if he's the apple of someone's eye there could be trade movement in the first round to secure him Fowler: Milroe, meanwhile, is still positioned to be an early Day 2 pick, though I've talked to a few executives in recent days who wonder if a team will trade into late-Round 1 for him. "I think someone will do it," an NFC executive said. The Raiders are on the radar, which would make sense; he could develop behind Geno Smith for a few years I spoke to long-established QB coach Jordan Palmer who says Milroe checks the two most important boxes for a signal-caller: He's a competitive learner and a high achiever Palmer and Milroe have worked over the past year on fluidity and connection to the ground as a passer which should help his accuracy at the next level 9) all look like teams that could select defensive lineman That would make life interesting for the Falcons 15 and desperate for defensive help in this draft Could they try to trade up if the top defensive linemen start flying off the board Fowler: Walker as a top-10 pick seems viable One executive whose team picks high in the draft said Walker's Thursday workout at UGA was "outstanding." Walker is firmly on the radar for Carolina at No And one industry source predicted that his floor is probably Atlanta's pick Multiple teams told me Atlanta and Arizona (No Graziano: And many around the league believe the Cowboys are likely to take a wide receiver at No. 12. Dallas could have its pick of them -- outside of Hunter, of course. McMillan and Texas' Matthew Golden are the two names to watch if the Cowboys go that direction Here's another name to watch for Dallas, though, on the other side of the ball: Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell He is extremely well regarded by teams and could go higher than expected if some team (Cowboys Colts?) loses out on its Plan A on Thursday night Campbell has a projected range of anywhere from late top 10 to the late teens You just worry a little about the durability." Mounting injuries at Alabama including a shoulder injury that prompted labrum surgery this offseason are on teams' files as something to consider One team believed to be very high on Campbell is the Buccaneers (No Perhaps Tampa Bay serves as a de facto floor for him One scout from a team in the late first round admitted Download the ESPN app and enable Adam Schefter's news alerts to receive push notifications for the latest updates first.

For more information, click here Rittenberg: The draft projects to have Day 2 value at wide receiver, and among those who should hear their names called Friday is Washington State's Kyle Williams he's an over-the-top catcher," said Wake Forest coach Jake Dickert "But he really showed this last year how good he is with the ball in his hands Everyone knew he could run and catch a vertical Staying with the pass catchers, LSU's Mason Taylor could be the third tight end selected after Warren and Loveland He set team records for a tight end with 129 receptions for 1,308 yards and six TDs over three seasons "Everybody thinks he's going to be kind of somewhere around [pick No.] 40 to 50 which is a pretty good deal," an LSU source said Rittenberg: Speaking of big players, Kentucky defensive tackle Deone Walker (6-foot-7 and 331 pounds) is a fringe top-100 prospect Walker earned All-SEC honors in each of the past three seasons and though his production declined a bit in 2024 he played the season with a fracture in his back people I would assume would be clamoring to trade up for the first pick of [Round 4] to get him," a Kentucky source said there's a reason he was talked about as a preseason top-12 pick who are projected as Day 2 or Day 3 selections Castro started three seasons and earned third-team All-America honors in 2023 while Higgins was a first-team All-America selection last fall and had 295 tackles over the past two seasons "They'll get dinged for everything that's not football that's what they're banking on," an Iowa staff member said Fowler: Multiple teams picking in the top 10 say the Browns are indeed getting calls about the No. 2 pick, as ESPN's Peter Schrager reported Not taking Hunter would ultimately be a surprise to many there isn't much buzz around the 49ers making a move as of now the 11th pick is a good spot to find someone Graziano: I'm curious to see how the first round affects potential veteran trade talks. If the Bengals draft an edge rusher they love, does that make them more likely to honor Trey Hendrickson's trade request Maybe get them to drop their demands and take a second-round pick for Hendrickson in the first round a month and a half later) Also, if the Colts or some other tight end-needy team misses out on the top guys at that position, that could make them more likely to pursue an available veteran such as Baltimore's Mark Andrews or Philadelphia's Dallas Goedert Metrics details a Illustration of the distribution of solutions generated by optimal and non-optimal Ising machines for different COP complexity: Low (L) An ideal Ising/QUBO solver produces distribution of solutions that is concentrated near the SOTA and has the potential to produce novel previously unknown solution that is closer to the Ising ground state;

and (b) efficient and parallel routing of spikes/events between neurons across large networks Both these features are essential for solving the Ising problem and efficient mapping of SA onto neuromorphic architecture In its general form Ising problem minimizes a function (or a Hamiltonian) H(s) of the spin state vector s according to is associated with one of the D vertices in the graph ${{\mathcal{G}}}$ The graph’s edges are represented by a matrix ${{\bf{Q}}}\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{D\times D}$ wherein Qij signifies the weight associated with the edge connecting vertices i and j the objective of the MAX-CUT problem is to partition the vertices into two classes maximizing the number of edges between them If an ideal asynchronous operation is assumed (see “Methods” subsection “ Asynchronous ising machine model”) only one spin (say the pth spin) changes its state by Δsp,n ∈ { −1 we chose the digital emulation because of the precision required for SA in the low-temperature regime The FN dynamics can then be combined with the independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {E}}}$ and ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {B}}}$ to determine the dynamic firing threshold μn,p for each ON–OFF integrate-and-fire neuron pair p ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {E}}}$ is drawn from an exponential distribution whereas ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {B}}}$ is drawn from a Bernoulli distribution with values {0, 1} The choice of the two distributions ensures that every neuron has a finite probability of firing which is equivalent to satisfying the irreducibility and aperiodicity conditions in SA and this is achieved without significant tuning of hyperparameters a Convergence plot showing steady increase in the solution quality with the inset showing fluctuations near 3050 cuts which is the current SOTA for this graph b Dynamics of the firing threshold with inset showing sparse but large fluctuations that trigger escape mechanisms c Plot showing the number of active neurons decaying following $\sim \frac{1}{\log t}$ without the contribution of the Bernoulli r.v d PCA trajectory of the NeuroSA dynamics where the initial (high temperature) regime follows a path defined by the network gradient and the trajectory near convergence (or low-temperature path) exhibits expanding exploration of the solution space e Distribution of the G15 solutions obtained for different annealing schedules (${{\rm {e}}}^{-t},{(\log t)}^{-1},{t}^{-1}$) and noise statistics (exponential—denoted by ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}^{{\rm {E}}}$ Gaussian—denoted by ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}^{{\rm {G}}}$ and Uniform—denoted by ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}^{{\rm {U}}}$) Only for an FN annealer and an exponentially distributed noise NE the distribution of solutions obtained by NeuroSA is more concentrated around the SOTA Next, the NeuroSA architecture was benchmarked for solving MAX-CUT problems on different Gset graphs. Figure 3 provides a detailed evaluation of the NeuroSA algorithm’s performance on the Gset benchmarks with results generated using both traditional CPU-based and the SpiNNaker2 platform The architecture is configured similarly for both hardware platforms and across all benchmark tests as it demonstrates that NeuroSA’s performance is robust across and agnostic to different MAX-CUT graph complexities it obviates painstaking hyperparameter tuning for each set of graphs or problems the parallel search results in a more concentrated distribution around the SOTA solution than the long-running singleton approach the parallel NeuroSA instances take different trajectories to the solution and the aggregation of multiple searches results in amplifying the probability of reaching the neighborhood of the SOTA/ground state solution within a finite time constraint we would like to point out that the optimal annealing schedule promises global optimality only in the asymptotic (exponential) time limit improvements on the current solution to reach the ground state using a parallel approach would still rely on long run-time of one of many singleton NeuroSA instances to 1011 iterations to see if NeuroSA could find a novel solution for a few sets of MAX-CUT problems within finite run-time (both on CPU and SpiNNaker2) NeuroSA was unable to discover solutions that exceeded the SOTA for the Gset/MAX-CUT benchmarks As it becomes harder to find better solutions the ratio tends to unity (run-time becomes exponential or sub-exponential) This is shown by the extrapolation curve and the transition point A which might highlight the point of diminishing returns This could be taken as a hardware-agnostic stopping criterion (polynomial run-time) for a COP the SpiNNaker2 implementation outperforms the CPU-based implementation in terms of energy-to-solution for the same workload this performance advantage is evident even if the current SpiNNaker2 implementation of NeuroSA is not fully optimized Solutions are ordered according to complexity metrics: a number of graph vertices M = {100, 250, 500} and H = {1000, 2500, 5000} we proposed a neuromorphic architecture called NeuroSA that is functionally isomorphic to a simulated annealing optimization engine The isomorphism allows mapping optimal SA algorithms to neuromorphic architectures providing theoretical guarantees of asymptotic convergence to the Ising ground state The core computational element of NeuroSA is formed by an ON–OFF integrate-and-fire neuron pair that can be implemented on any standard neuromorphic hardware NeuroSA can exploit the computational power of both existing and upcoming large-scale neuromorphic platforms Inside each ON–OFF neuron pair is an annealer whose stochastic properties are dictated by a Fowler–Nordheim (FN) dynamical system the neuron model and the FN annealer generate population activity that emulates the sequential acceptance and rejection dynamics of the SA algorithm Any choice of distribution other than the exponential distribution for the r.v ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{n}^{{\rm {E}}}$ will violate the SA’s detailed balance criterion and hence the network might not encode a steady-state distribution the energy landscape of the resulting H(s) is more complex and hence would require different choices of T0 and the simulation time to achieve SOTA solutions This region of convergence corresponds to the low-temperature regime where it is important to explore distant states and at the same time accept proposals (or produce spikes) only when the network energy decreases the time needed to achieve a unit gain in the quality of the solution increases with time with the last gain consuming the majority of the entire simulation duration accelerating NeuroSA’s initial convergence using a low-temperature start might not significantly reduce the overall time-to-solution when the goal is to approach the asymptotic ground state the approach does enhance the efficiency of the NeuroSA to approach SOTA solutions under real-time constraints but only in conjunction with analog-to-digital converters with more than 16 bit precision The scope of this work is to present the algorithmic advancement in developing an asynchronous neuromorphic architecture that can utilize the FN-annealing dynamics the annealing schedule should follow a schedule that is slower than c/log(t) (or FN tunneling) dynamics to inherit the asymptotic global optimization convergence properties the scaling parameter c needs to be selected to achieve the best trade-off between faster convergence and the quality of the solution for a given optimization problem a schedule that follows $c/{\log }^{1/2}(t)$ or $c/\log \log (t)$ dynamics would also guarantee asymptotic convergence to the ground state is one-shot solver unlike AI/ML inference engines where the overhead of physical instantiation can be amortized over repetitive runs Since one of the focus of NeuroSA is to explore new solutions as it asymptotically converges to the ground state it is expected that NeuroSA implementations would require long run-times As new/better solutions are produced by the solver they can be read out and used in other applications QUBO and Ising formulations are interchangeable through a variable transform $s\leftrightarrow \frac{1+s}{2}$ we consider the following optimization problem where ${{\bf{s}}}=\left[{s}_{1},{s}_{2},.. ,{s}_{D}\right]$ denotes a spin vector comprising of binary optimization variables. Because ${s}_{j}^{2}=1,\forall j=1...D$, Eq. (3) is equivalent to Note the matrix Q can be symmetrized by ${{\bf{Q}}}\leftarrow \frac{1}{2}({{\bf{Q}}}+{{{\bf{Q}}}}^{\intercal })$ without changing the solution to Eq. (3) Let the vector s at time instant n be denoted by sn and the change in s be denoted as Δsn where Δsn = {−1, 0, +1}D and Δsj,n sj,n−1 = −1 ∀ j = 1. . . D ensures that the spin either flips or remains unchanged where the set ${{\mathcal{C}}}=\{i:\Delta {s}_{i,n}\, \ne \, 0\}$ denotes the neurons that do not fire at time-instant n. Solving Eq. (3) involves solving the sequentially sub-problem: ∀ n +1}D such that ${\sum }_{p\in {{\mathcal{C}}}}\Delta {s}_{p,n}[{\sum }_{j\notin {{\mathcal{C}}}}{Q}_{pj}{s}_{j,n}]\ which in itself is a combinatorial problem the problem of searching for the set of firing neurons can be simplified only one of the neurons can emit a spike at any time instant n (due to Poisson statistics) where un is a uniformly distributed r.v. between \(\left[0,1\right]$, and B > 1 is a hyper-parameter, Tn > 0 denotes the temperature at time-instant n. Eq. (11) is equivalent to which corresponds to the spiking criterion for an ON neuron and which corresponds to the spiking criterion for an OFF neuron. Introducing a RESET parameter $A\gg | {T}_{n}\log \left(\frac{{u}_{n}}{B}+\epsilon \right)|$, Eqs. (15) and (16) are equivalent to the ON neuron model The variables ${v}_{p,n}^{+},{v}_{p,n}^{-}$ represent the membrane potentials of the ON–OFF integrate-and-fire neurons at the time instant n To ensure that all neurons are equally likely to be selected (to satisfy the ergodicity property of SA) where ${\mu }_{n,p}={T}_{n}{{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{n}^{{\rm {E}}}+A{{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {B}}}$ denotes the shared noisy threshold between the pth pair of ON–OFF neurons at time instance n The ON–OFF construction ensures that $\Delta {s}_{p,n}^{+}\Delta {s}_{p,n}^{-}=0,\forall p,n$ which leads to the following fundamental ON–OFF integrate-and-fire neuron model of NeuroSA which is summarized as: The ON–OFF neuron’s membrane potentials ${v}_{p,n}^{+},{v}_{p,n}^{-}\in {\mathbb{R}}$ evolve as where A > 0 is a constant that represents an excitatory synaptic coupling between the ON and the OFF neurons, as shown in Fig. 1d The ON and OFF neurons generate a spike when their respective membrane potential exceeds a time-varying noisy threshold μp,n according to after which the membrane potentials are RESET by subtraction according to In ref. 56 it was shown that a temperature annealing schedule of the form where C is a normalizing constant. Differentiating Eq. (29) one obtains the dynamical systems model The sampling period in the discrete-time model was chosen by adjusting C and to fit the optimal scheduling requirements of the NeuroSA algorithm The mean of the random variable ${{{\mathcal{N}}}}_{p,n}^{{\rm {E}}}$ was chosen to be −0.916 and Section S5 for SpiNNaker2 implementation The results in each run were normalized with respect to the SOTA and then grouped as a histogram The probability density function (pdf) was generated using ksdensity The COP solutions, the algorithm execution time, the power and the energy data for the CPU and SpiNNaker2 imeplementation of NeuroSA generated in this study are available at https://github.com/aimlab-wustl/neuroSA The specific MATLAB and Python codes used in simulation/emulation studies on the CPU platform are available at https://github.com/aimlab-wustl/neuroSA Since the SpiNNaker2 stack is still under development the software implementation on SpiNNaker2 will not be made available publicly but will be available upon requests On the computational complexity of ising spin glass models Lucas, A.

Some of the most talented players come with the most questions Whether a team can address those questions -- and be comfortable with the answers -- determines the direction of the draft players throughout the draft will elicit differing opinions throughout the league scouts and coaches from around the NFL for their polarizing players in this year's class These 12 prospects were mentioned the most: Taylor impress the most at LSU's Pro DaySEC Network analysts Roman Harper and Jordan Reid give their insight on what stands out at the Tigers Pro Day including the performances of Will Campbell and Mason Taylor Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 14 To illustrate the mixed opinions on Sanders ESPN asked six high-level personnel evaluators whether they had a first-round grade on the Colorado passer Four said no; two said yes as a mid-to-late first-round talent Players with second-round grades get moved into the first round all the time -- particularly quarterbacks. To be sure, the Cleveland Browns included Sanders on their short list of candidates for the second pick "I'm fine with Shedeur's personality -- he's tough and works really hard," said an AFC executive who views him as a first-round talent "He needs to be in a timing offense -- three-step drop That's a common refrain from evaluators: The hype around Sanders doesn't bother teams because he's detailed and mature in his football approach His ability to process at the line of scrimmage and throw with accuracy and touch is impressive The concern is more about the ability. Questions about upside abound. One executive said Sanders' ceiling is probably Kirk Cousins or a Baker Mayfield with less arm strength -- quite good I couldn't do that," said a separate AFC executive on taking Sanders in the top 10 One comp from an NFC personnel man: Teddy Bridgewater "Fringe starter who makes good decisions and does some good things but won't get you over the top," the personnel man said play3:08Recapping notable performances from Alabama's Pro DayThe SEC Now crew takes a look back at the best performances from the Crimson Tide's Pro Day and discuss where Jalen Milroe and Tyler Booker stand in the NFL Draft Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 9 From the "pro day chatter" file: A personnel evaluator from a team picking late in the first round noticed a counterpart from a team picking in the teens talking with Williams at Georgia's pro day "He ain't making it to you," the second man said after speaking to Williams Neither did his 4.74-second 40 time at Georgia's pro day though Williams has been dealing with an ankle injury "I thought he'd be a better tester than what he is," an AFC executive said. "Film was good, not productive. He's not [former Georgia standout and No. 1 pick] Travon Walker as far as an athlete While Williams will almost assuredly go in the first round But his upside and positional flexibility along the defensive line should enhance his stock "I feel good about him figuring it out -- dependable tough," a veteran NFL personnel evaluator said play0:58Shemar Stewart hammers Taylen Green to set up an A&M TDShemar Stewart gets in the backfield to force a fumble and set Marcel Reed up for a Texas A&M touchdown Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 19 Polarizing might be a strong label for Campbell a consensus top-10 pick with projections that indicate stardom "He's going to be awesome -- All-Pro caliber guard he will be better than at least half the tackles in the NFL right off the bat," a high-ranking personnel evaluator with an NFC team said Despite his status as a consensus All-American and recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy debate about his arm length won't quite dissipate He measured in at 32 5/8 inches at the NFL scouting combine and 33 inches at LSU's pro day Some teams prefer their tackles to have at least a 34-inch reach The top tackles from the 2021 draft, Detroit's Penei Sewell and Los Angeles' Rashawn Slater measured below that 34-inch mark and have been excellent pros one AFC exec noted "Sewell was more violent and Slater was quicker .. the lack of ideal length or speed is a factor." most football purists recognize that Campbell simply knows how to play football -- and thrived in the SEC "It [Campbell's measurables] was a thing for a while but I think people have gotten over it," an AFC executive said Added an NFC personnel man: "It's a concern that limits his ability in some way and he gets beat on the inside edge a little bit I can't draft him because of arm length.'" play0:39Walter Nolen's NFL draft profileCheck out some of the top highlights from Ole Miss' Walter Nolen Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 80 Milroe is one of the toughest quarterback evaluations in this draft based on his struggles as a passer in the short-to-intermediate portions of the field But his enormous potential could tempt teams to pick him somewhat early in the draft "At some point someone will say he's too good an athlete to not take," an AFC executive said Milroe is a sub-4.4 40 runner who throws a good deep ball but "has trouble going through his progressions and is not accurate," an NFC executive added Ten of Milroe's 11 interceptions in 2024 came on throws of 15 air yards or less which also cited that Milroe's 6% off-target percentage on throws in that range ranked 46th in the FBS A frequent comp for Milroe among scouts: Justin Fields Both are big and fast quarterbacks who can create chunk yardage in space they are quarterbacks with strong arms who can hurt defenses downfield but struggle with accuracy They are good enough throwers to keep defenses honest but are not good enough to warrant a pass-heavy offense tailored around them Milroe is viewed as a player who will navigate the tough learning curve by putting in the work "If you can sit him for multiple years and then tailor your offense around him you could really have something," an NFL national scout said "But you would have to be all-in on his dual-threat ability play0:48Terrance Ferguson's NFL draft profileCheck out some of the key numbers behind Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson's college career Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 20 looking at times like "the best player on the field," according to one personnel evaluator explosive -- lots of physical ability," an NFC executive said "Just not sure where exactly he's going to go." Added a separate NFC exec: "The community is split on him." Production is an issue -- 4.5 sacks in 37 collegiate games left much to be desired The executive believes that's in part because Stewart didn't always look comfortable in the A&M defense doesn't always really know what's going on," the executive said "Maybe he can work his way into being a good player at the next level but he will need to improve in those areas." A high-ranking NFL defensive coach says Stewart deserves grace for some of his play because the A&M defensive line looked unorganized at times and that can affect a player's bottom line An AFC executive adds that Stewart has the physical ability of a top-10 pick but predicts he will probably go in the middle of the first round play0:26Michael Green makes timely sack vs Stony BrookMichael Green makes timely sack vs Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 26 Nolen is a big-time talent whose pro day performance was incredible "Highest ceiling in the entire draft," a veteran NFL defensive coach said "Not as big as [Jalen] Carter but has some of his traits." Added an NFC executive: "Impressive traits Nolen had pass-rush production with 6.5 sacks in 2024 There are several NFL scouting reports that reflect Nolen's history of walking off the practice field mid-session due to frustration Opinions of his team interviews are varied but one NFL personnel executive said Nolen came across as someone who wants to improve and shed bad habits "He's searching for solutions," the exec said Going to a veteran-laden locker room could help Nolen "Your hands will be full and you need a real plan for him but I have a hard time thinking he falls out of the top 20," the coach said play0:30Iowa increases lead with a Kaleb Johnson 41-yard TDKaleb Johnson finds a hole up the middle and goes 41 yards for a Hawkeyes touchdown Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 78 Penn State's Tyler Warren and Michigan's Colston Loveland are battling for the top tight end spot and which player goes first in the draft will depend on team preference Loveland is considered the more explosive player while Warren probably gets the edge on playing style and feel for the game The third-best tight end prospect out of the Big Ten is Ferguson a productive pass catcher with adequate speed and the ability to stretch the field probably not as physical as you'd like," an AFC executive said "Not quite as finesse as [Mike] Gesicki but not as physical as you'd hope Though I think he has worked to answer that in the pre-draft process and the Senior Bowl." If the Eagles move on from Dallas Goedert tight end could make sense for them on Day 2 play0:24Riley Leonard gassed after historic opening driveNotre Dame QB Riley Leonard looks noticeably gassed after leading the Fighting Irish on a record 18-play drive for a touchdown Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 22 Green wowed at the Senior Bowl with impressive traits building off the momentum of a 17-sack campaign in 2024 "His tape was middle-of-first-round good," an NFC executive said Whether he lands there or falls is up for debate due to two reported sexual assault allegations against him, one from high school and one while he was at Virginia, his first college. Green denied the allegations at the NFL scouting combine "There's accusations out there," Green said nobody ever asked me a question about what happened before I departed from Virginia It was just accusations that caused me to leave from there." But this is something that teams have been trying to process and multiple execs admitted that the presence of the allegations affects their outlook on Green to some degree Multiple people we spoke to for this story have linked Atlanta as a potential landing spot for Green at No play0:45Michigan gets INT on first play of second halfMichael Penix Jr is hit as he throws and gets picked off by Will Johnson along the sideline Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 61 One of the most productive running backs in the draft class finished 2024 with 1,537 rushing yards on 6.4 yards per carry and 21 rushing scores Most evaluators consulted for this story have Johnson as a late Day 2 pick while noting that fit will be crucial for him "He's got to go to a wide zone [rushing] team," an AFC executive said but if you're looking for somebody with early quickness or avoidability ESPN ranks Johnson as the No. 5 running back in the class. The Denver Broncos very decisive when he gets north and south," an NFL personnel evaluator added play1:14Tetairoa McMillan takes off for 78-yard Arizona TDTetairoa McMillan runs down the sideline for the game-tying Wildcats touchdown Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: Not in top 300 Multiple personnel evaluators I trust really like Leonard -- in fact they like him in the top three to five in the quarterback class In what's considered a weaker QB draft group Leonard's intangibles and explosiveness stand out "I don't get it," said one AFC scout who ranks Leonard ninth in this year's quarterback class "He's elevated [the boards of] a couple of teams Leonard helped Duke win 17 games his final two seasons there before transferring to Notre Dame which reached the national title game with Leonard under center super tough -- just not accurate or a gifted passer," an AFC executive said Leonard's ability to keep plays alive with his football instincts could help him offset deficiencies as a passer while he figures out the pro game "I actually think he has more in his arm," a veteran NFC scout said "He needs a really good offensive coach to help develop him behind the scenes." Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 12 Johnson has the length (6-foot-2) and ball skills (nine interceptions in 32 collegiate games) to be drafted in the top half of the first round Teams love his ability to break on the ball But Johnson needs to prove his durability after missing time with knee and shoulder injuries in college "He needs to be in a vision zone scheme; let him attack what's in front of him," an NFL coordinator said "If you want him to match up against the best guy every down Johnson has not run a 40-yard dash leading up to the draft but he's set to conduct a pro day for teams Monday now that he's healthy following a hamstring issue An NFL coordinator believes doing so will help him "Can't tell how fast he truly is from the tape Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 15 McMillan has ideal size at 6-foot-5, 212 pounds, but while a 4.48-second 40 time from his pro day is solid, he's not known for creating separation. Any Mike Evans comparisons should probably stop early Evans' 35 1/8-inch wingspan is nearly four inches longer than that of McMillan who is listed nearly 20 pounds lighter than Evans but the bad is pretty bad," an NFL coordinator said The bad is not running routes full speed." Added an NFL offensive coach: "I like him a lot -- he's not Randy Moss at 6-4 just running past everyone, but he catches everything around 10 yards and closer to the line of scrimmage, and he can physically get people off him to use his long arms to snag it. In a perfect world he'd be like the next Michael Thomas." This month Felicia Fowler will graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University 35 years after she took her first class The satisfaction she feels at completing what has been a long and winding journey is simply “unbelievable,” she said “[Sometimes] it felt like it would never happen,” said Fowler, who is an administrative assistant with Residential Life and Housing at VCU starting and stopping – it felt like I would never graduate Fowler first took a couple of classes as a freshman at VCU in 1990 she returned to the university to work in disability support services and she took advantage of the opportunity to attend classes part time She then left VCU for several years before returning to join the School of Education as an employee resuming her studies for a few semesters before leaving the university again she came back – this time with Residential Life and Housing – and decided it was time to finish what she started earning her bachelor’s degree in religious studies called Fowler a “kind-hearted and attentive” presence in class “Hers is a remarkable story of persistence,” Wood said Each return to the classroom after years away could prove daunting taking her time along her academic path gave her the chance to truly figure out what she wanted to do I used to joke that I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up,” she said with laugh Fowler became a licensed minister and realized she felt a calling to broaden her religious education in an academic setting Since turning her focus to religious studies she has enjoyed learning about the history of Christianity as well as discovering more about the world’s many religions Fowler researched African religious traditions in Black worship today she had the opportunity to present her work at a conference which she called “validating.” “None of the students have treated me any differently from other students,” she said the boomer’s talking.’ But it didn’t feel that way.” To complete her degree, Fowler used the tuition benefit that is offered by VCU to eligible employees she hopes to complete her master’s degree in patient counseling with the VCU College of Health Professions she would like to get into counseling or consulting she plans to treat herself to a summer trip to the beach But even after so many years of ongoing education Fowler is eager to get back to work: “Now when I’m not in class

Making It Make Sense: From Lived Experience to Research Impact she noticed a recurring theme among students she met through the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel where she served as a graduate assistant. “Students would pop into the Chapel office just to vent or breathe,” she recalls “And a lot of them said the same thing: ‘I couldn’t get into the counseling center,’ or ‘I went but now what?’ That’s when I knew this was bigger than just me.” She began organizing peer wellness check-ins helping students reflect on their mental health and find support systems Fowler-Rowe wove in her background in art therapy with programs like Matters of the Heart and Mind Over Makeup — weekly sessions where students processed emotions through painting “It wasn’t about the makeup itself,” she explains helping them show up for themselves again.” The Role of Interfaith Spaces in Personal Growth Raised Pentecostal in a Jamaican household Fowler-Rowe didn’t always feel fully connected to her faith but I came back when I was ready to explore deeper.” That exploration brought her to Howard’s interfaith community where she was able to learn from and worship alongside peers from Muslim Being exposed to so many faiths didn’t dilute her Christianity — it strengthened it “I believe in God more now because I’ve seen God in so many different forms,” she says It’s a lesson in openness that many students today are hungry for In a world where social divisions and cultural misunderstandings are increasingly sharp Howard’s interfaith Chapel became a sanctuary for bridge-building Fowler-Rowe describes her journey not just as academic I grew in ways I couldn’t have imagined.” One of Fowler-Rowe’s proudest moments was watching student groups she mentored start their own wellness initiatives “We didn’t just talk — we built something that students wanted to keep going,” she says. With support from Dean Richardson and the Chapel staff Mind Over Makeup grew from a Friday gathering in the Quad to a team of 15 young women leading weekly programming Students learned how to express themselves creatively while checking in on each other’s mental health often for the first time in a long time. “There’s something powerful about pausing and saying ‘How am I really feeling?’ and then having the courage to answer honestly,” Fowler-Rowe reflects. what does Fowler-Rowe want others to take away from her work? Her research reminds us that mental health and faith don’t have to exist in separate worlds and a community that sees you as a whole person — it doesn’t just make sense As she prepares to walk the stage at Commencement 2025 Students have already asked her to help formalize her programs into an official organization under the Chapel — and she’s passing the torch with confidence. and I’m leaving knowing I’ve helped others do the same Our public relations team can connect you with faculty experts and answer questions about Howard University news and events Pet of the Week SPORTS Submit an Opinion Comics STAFF it’s hard to believe my time at Troy is coming to an end It feels like just yesterday I stepped onto campus for the first time — nervous and I certainly didn’t know how much Troy would eventually shape me into the man I am today Troy has become more than just a school to me and there were plenty of long nights filled with writing projects and studying until I passed out on my bed those challenges taught me how to push through even when things seemed impossible it wasn’t just the classroom that made a difference It was the people who surrounded me on this great campus professors care about our education and love what they do and the amazing events and campus life made Troy feel more like a second home to me Trojan Vision and The Tropolitan were truly the biggest hubs of my experience here find opportunities and discover where my true passion lies I realized my love for photography and videography — two things I found that I’m genuinely good at and excited to continue pursuing and there were moments when I seriously questioned if I was good enough to look at things from a new angle and to keep trying Troy didn’t just help me earn a degree; it built my character I’m confident that whatever paths we take next the memories and the strength to stand tall and move forward I’ll leave you with a quote from Zhongli in Genshin Impact: the friends of days gone by and scenes from their adventures live on in their memories Should the day ever come that we are not together you will continue to shine like gold in my memories." the Hixson family has served the people of Central Louisiana by providing funeral and cremation services to all faiths Find your loved one below to share a memory or express your condolences You may also show sympathy by sending flowers Enter your information to receive emails when new obituaries are published We're dedicated to providing personalized professional and compassionate services to help lighten your burden and support you Receive emails when new obituariesare published to our website Your browser may not work with certain site.

of five children born to Kenneth and Grace Fowler on August 31 Ken was raised in a little town in upstate New York called Elmira He continued playing tennis into his adulthood playing with a group of men during the winters at Lagoon’s indoor tennis courts Although not very typical of a sports enthusiast He had a strong tenor voice with a soft vibrato loved music and acting and cherished the time he was able to spend performing he also had the opportunity to travel with the Young Ambassadors He was cast as many characters in plays and musicals during his long tenure of performing from his youth all the way into his 70’s Some favorites included the Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz,” Crazy Old Maurice in “Beauty and the Beast,” Jacob in “Joseph and the Technicolored Dream Coat,” and Teddy Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace,” where he really stole the show He said the highlight of his career as a thespian was being a part of the “Savior of the World” production where he spent several months practicing and performing with what he said was amazing talent he was called by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to serve a two-and-a-half-year mission in Germany He returned after the mission to Ohio to work for his future father-in-law and to court DeAnn Shortly after she graduated high school they were married eighteen grandchildren and one great grandchild Ken loved his family very much and spent loads of time supporting and watching his children and grandchildren where he claimed several mini-bowl championships Ken worked for Dayton Tire Company and jumped at the opportunity to relocate to Utah The company was purchased shortly after being relocated and he was laid off He returned to BYU with DeAnn where he finished his college education obtaining a Master’s degree in Psychology He was then hired by The Corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ where he spent a 28 year career in their welfare services program He was a happy person that sincerely enjoyed the company of loved ones You’d have a hard time escaping a family get together without a hug from papa His talents went beyond singing and sports He had a special talent of falling asleep on the floor with his head suspended in the air He had a handful of “Dad jokes” that got repeated to each new set of ears… and many times to the same set of ears He also enjoyed the company and unconditional love from his dogs over the years He was genuinely interested in people and was more than willing to talk to them Ken was loved by all and will be truly missed 2025 at 11 am at the

becomes the second Boston College goaltender to win the award Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has expressed a keen interest in returning to football in a new capacity Fowler opened up about his aspirations to re-enter the game while offering his take on Liverpool’s summer recruitment prospects revered at Anfield for his clinical finishing and iconic status was clearly energised by Liverpool’s recent Premier League title win sealed emphatically with a 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur attention now shifts to what comes next – and for Fowler “I do want to get back into the game as soon as possible,” Fowler revealed I feel as though I’ve got a lot to give on that front But the sporting directorship and technical side of the game is just an avenue that I could lean towards in the future “I want to look into the eyes of a sporting director and find out what they want from the game as well.” Fowler’s comments come at a pivotal time for Liverpool with Arne Slot set to take over the managerial reins and Richard Hughes preparing to begin his tenure as sporting director The summer window is expected to be Hughes’ first major test and Fowler made it clear he would relish such responsibility Fowler offered his perspective on Liverpool’s approach to the upcoming transfer market The club’s emphatic return to domestic glory has only sharpened focus on the need to sustain success – and that means smart additions “It’s a difficult one because as a supporter you want them to sign every player under the sun you risk potentially going backwards,” Fowler noted With Darwin Nunez facing an uncertain role under a new regime Fowler believes Liverpool will be active in the hunt for a reliable No 9 – but warned that inflated valuations could complicate matters “Maybe Nunez will be a name on a few teams’ lists because he hasn’t played the amount of games he’d want to so you assume Liverpool will try to bring a No 9,” said Fowler He pointed to two high-profile Premier League forwards – Alexander Isak and Ollie Watkins – as possible targets “The problem is clubs know that they are potentially on the lookout for a No 9 With his insider’s eye and emotional investment in the club Fowler’s insights carry significant weight – and could reflect the conversations already happening behind closed doors at Kirkby The radar chart for Ollie Watkins offers a compelling visual profile of the Aston Villa striker’s all-round contribution over the past 365 days (3,275 minutes) His metrics reveal why he remains a prominent name in transfer discussions including potential links to clubs like Liverpool particularly with 96th percentile for assists and 77th for expected assisted goals (xAG)—an elite figure for a forward underlining his dual role as both scorer and creator He also performs strongly in non-penalty expected goals (71st percentile) and combined xG + xAG (76th percentile) further confirming his consistent threat in front of goal Watkins shows decent metrics in key transitional phases He ranks in the 82nd percentile for progressive carries indicating a strong ability to drive the ball forward—an essential trait for pressing systems His 68th percentile for pass attempts and 63rd percentile in touches point to a forward who is comfortable linking play his successful take-ons (24th percentile) and progressive passes (20th percentile) suggest he isn’t tasked with creative buildup through dribbling or passing from deep positions possibly reflecting Villa’s system or his role within it Watkins provides above-average output for a striker he sits in the 61st percentile for percentage of dribblers tackled and 25th percentile for combined tackles and interceptions These figures are modest but signal a willingness to engage off the ball aligning with teams that demand forward pressing Ollie Watkins offers a rare blend of goal threat While not an archetypal Liverpool forward due to age and stylistic fit his numbers suggest he’d bring ready-made quality to any top-six side สล็อตเว็บตรง sister casino sites atPenn Relays Madison Fowler Finishes 16th at the 2025 Penn Relays4/24/2025 8:14:00 PM | Women's Track and Field

during the regular season Fans and media speculated whether Cayden Primeau would retake his role as starter after his stint with the Canadiens deservedly so after his 23-save performance in the opener setting up quickly and confidently on their first offensive rush They didn’t have to wait long before seeing a result either with Jared Davidson cashing in a one-timer from the top of the right circle thanks to a cleanly won draw from Florian Xhekaj the Rocket got to the Monsters’ netminder early in this one The goal went straight to the Rocket’s legs with Laval probably committing to the body a little too much immediately afterward Cleveland got a great chance right after the goal with Laval chasing and scrambling in its own zone The chance was a sobering moment for Laval and the Rocket cleaned things up immediately Laval got a flurry of chances with just over 15 minutes left in the frame the nicest of which had Sean Farrell spring Owen Beck from the neutral zone for a one-on-one chance that Greaves barely stopped The Rocket took advantage of the scramble created by Beck’s rush with Logan Mailloux getting it back on net and Joshua Roy getting two chances to bang in the rebound Logan Mailloux was noticeable early in the first and continued to be throughout the game (he ended up a +1 with three shots on net) as the defender took his first penalty of the playoffs; he led all Rocket defencemen in penalty minutes during the regular season Cleveland’s first power play was dangerous a blast from the point that Fowler handled The Rocket didn’t give Cleveland a second to breathe and were largely successful in creating turnovers leading to scoring chances the Rocket took a defensive formation for the final two minutes of the period content with shutting down scoring chances and flipping the puck to neutral ice the Rocket received a gift from James Malatesta who chose to insert himself into an altercation between Brandon Gignac and Sam Knazko after the final whistle Malatesta received the only penalty on the play I suppose he thought it was a worthwhile call while trailing in a playoff game and heading to the locker rooms The Rocket only got one real chance on their period-opening power play: a shot from the left circle from Alex Barré-Boulet Fowler had carved a circle around his net with several puck retrievals Fowler had some work to do after the failed power play flashing the leather on a slot shot from Malatesta and stumping the Monsters once again with Lucas Condotta beating Greaves high glove off the rush just over three minutes into the period Condotta was looking at Xavier Simoneau all the way but I don’t think he had any intention of delivering the puck anywhere but the back of the net Fowler would be tested again but stood firm deflecting a golden scoring chance from Justin Pearson into the corner The Rocket had taken their foot off the gas physically just a little and Cleveland responded by finishing every check available Florian Xhekaj certainly noticed the tone shift he went right up to Roman Ahcan after a whistle and punched him a couple of times picking up a roughing call and sending Laval to the penalty kill seven minutes into the period The Rocket held the Monsters shotless for the man advantage and Cleveland’s second effort looked marginally less dangerous than its first Laurent Dauphin got a breakaway opportunity but Monsters defenseman Hunter McKown saved the puck on the goal line The Rocket could have easily had another three goals at that point of the game Xhekaj continued to be a nightmare for the Monsters toeing the line every shift and certainly causing more than his fair share of headaches (literally) with both teams struggling to gain consistent offensive-zone pressure and the Rocket got their third power play of the night with just over five minutes left in the second after a bench minor was called on Cleveland for too many men on the ice I also thought he was fairly sound defensively for most of the game (ignore the clip further down as an example of this) Laval wasn’t credited with a shot on its third man advantage and Owen Beck got a great look from the left circle in the dying seconds of the man-advantage the five-on-five possession they had right after the power play was both more organized and more dangerous than the power play that preceded it Xavier Simoneau missed an open cage by inches after a great passing play he took a tripping penalty just seconds later while battling for the loose puck behind the net with less than three minutes to go in the frame Cleveland couldn’t really get anything going on its third man advantage of the game and the game headed into the third with the Rocket leading 2-0 Cleveland was buzzing when the puck dropped for the final period controlling play for the opening three minutes forcing a turnover and giving Fowler a tough save through traffic and by that point Cleveland had been cycling the zone for 80% of the period It needs to be mentioned that Cleveland was in Fowler’s grill all night long Cleveland alternate captain Trey Fix-Wolansky tailed Fowler to and from the bench in between whistles presumably complimenting him on his performance so far After Fowler’s next save on Stanislav Svozil with Malatesta and Xhekaj unsurprisingly in the middle of it Davidson and Joseph Lebate also picked up penalties and everything ended up still at five-on-five robbing Rocco Grimaldi with the glove in what was arguably the Monsters’ best chance A great cross-ice pass set up the solid one-timer That save from Fowler seemed to suck the life out of the Monsters The Rocket would control the next minute of play and extended their lead by one more with 12:45 left in the third then can only watch the puck soar over his shoulder into the net Barré-Boulet is taking a nasty high stick in front of the net Things got a little chippy midway through when Davidson and Denton Mateychuck (who’s got a heck of a mean streak just don’t tell them that) took offsetting calls capitalizing on lazy play from the Monsters had been phoning it in for at least six minutes I’m not sure if Laurent Dauphin wanted the shot or the pass but the rebound was served on a silver platter to Gustav Lindström Both teams had a few chances in the final minutes of the frame Cleveland came alive once it was playing for pride Fowler made five saves in the final four minutes of the game including two unbelievable stops on Luca Pinelli The one below was sensational with less than a minute left in his shutout bid The Rocket closed the game out with maturity as Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St-Louis would have said They outshot Cleveland 29-20 and were inarguably the better team at the end of the night but it was a team effort from Laval in Game 2 Laval will be back in action at home for Game 3 on Sunday It’s unconfirmed whether Jacob Fowler will get the start considering the netminder’s performance through two road games to start the series Manchester City have confirmed that forward Mary Fowler has suffered a rupture to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of her right knee The 22-year-old sustained the injury during City’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United on Sunday “Mary will remain under the care of the club’s medical team and start her rehabilitation,” a City statement read on Wednesday “Everyone at City wishes Mary all the best on a full and speedy recovery.” Fowler has played in all but one of City’s 18 Women’s Super League games this season The Australia international joined City from French side Montpellier in the summer of 2022 and has played 49 WSL matches She has also been named Australian young women’s footballer of the year twice “I’m really disappointed to be facing some time out of the game,” Fowler said via a release from the Australian national team “It’s never easy when something like this happens especially when you’ve been working so hard and feeling good “I want to say a big thank you to everyone who’s sent messages or checked in — it’s honestly meant so much Fowler joins fellow City player Risa Shimizu in suffering an ACL injury this season after the Japan international sustained hers in September City are also dealing with injuries to Vivianne Miedema the former of whom will not play again in the remaining weeks of the season City cannot catch a break and Fowler is devastatingly another to add to their long injury list The Australian actually benefitted from City’s injuries this season as she had to step up to fill the void Fowler has been more consistent this year and has registered seven assists She has rotated between being a false nine and a winger and has demonstrated her creativity while being an important figure in connecting City’s play ACL injuries usually keep players out of the game for at least nine months and that road to recovery is not always straightforward she will approach it from a positive angle and use it as fuel to inform her future Charlotte Harpur is a football writer covering Manchester United and women's football for The Athletic UK.
