CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey has identified the retired deputy struck and killed Friday while serving on a traffic detail for a UC graduation ceremony
He's been identified as Larry Henderson
He retired last year but still served at times as a special deputy
He's accused of intentionally hitting Henderson
not long after body cam video was released showing Hinton's son being shot by a Cincinnati Police officer during a stolen car investigation
McGuffey said Henderson served as a deputy for 33 years
I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation
Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career
He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer
he trained divisions of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that included hundreds of deputy sheriffs
His ability to relate to and touch officers’ lives was extraordinary
We will continue to honor Larry’s life of service.”
Henderson served in several specialized units
a handful of people came by to add to the memorial created for Deputy Henderson
it's a tragedy," said Heilbronner
Heilbronner says he is a friend and co-worker of Henderson's son
"I just know that his dad had to be a heck of a guy and a wonderful person just through what his son is," said Heilbronner
He told Local-12 News that he saw images of the bleak amount of flowers at the memorial earlier this weekend
he says he wanted to do something to change that
"A group of coworkers and I got together and collected some money so that we could bring some more flowers and bring some more life to this memorial and make sure that everyone who's driving by knows that he's well supported," Heilbronner
candles and even handwritten cards could be seen at the memorial just before 7 p.m
so what would be really cool is if the community continued to come out here and on days when it's not raining like this
come out here and water the flowers and kept this memorial alive," said Heilbronner

(WFIE) - Henderson Police say a woman called 911 to report her neighbor was armed with a knife
Officers say Angela Duncan called late Friday night
saying the neighbor was making threats to kill herself and her pets
and it was treated as a possible hostile environment
She was arrested and charged with false reporting and disorderly conduct
The Patriots have had a impressive history of pass catching backs that can impact the offense
From Kevin Faulk to Danny Woodhead to Shane Vereen and James White
New England has seen more than its share of big plays from that position
Mike Vrabel and his personnel staff may have found the next one in TreVeyon Henderson
and he may be the most explosive of the bunch
Henderson was selected in the second round
202-pound running back was productive both as a runner and receiver
but it's his ability to turn in big plays that allows him to stand out in the pack
During his college career with the Buckeyes
Henderson averaged 6.4 yards per carry and that number rose to 7.1 last season
He also averaged 11.1 yards per reception over his four seasons
it's clear he has the ability to make big plays
"That's not being fair to him," OSU running backs coach Carlos Locklyn said with a laugh when it was suggested Henderson had some explosiveness to his game
He can take it to the house from anywhere on the field
Watch college football highlights from Patriots 2025 NFL Draft pick TreVeyon Henderson
The Ohio State running back was taken 38th overall by New England
Henderson also excels in another area of the game that is vital to his role: pass protection
Locklyn says his pupil was the best pass protector in college football
A peek at his highlight tape shows numerous thundering hits on unsuspecting linebackers making a beeline toward Henderson's quarterback
"In six-man pass protections he gets his hands on linebackers and gets great leverage," Locklyn said
"You'd think he was a 225- or 230-pound guy the way he rocks guys
I know [offensive coordinator] Josh [McDaniels] is going to tap into that
He hasn't even scratched the surface of what he can do as back
"He's the best pass protector in college football
As impressive as Henderson's work out of the Ohio State backfield is
Locklyn describes him as a selfless player with the team's best interests in mind at all times
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day approached Henderson to ask how he would feel about adding running back Quinshon Judkins to the roster via the transfer portal
Rather than viewing such a move as a threat to his playing time
Henderson embraced it and told his coach he would be in favor of doing anything that would help the team win
The Buckeyes went on to capture the national title with both backs leading the way
Go inside the Patriots Draft room as New England selects running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft
"I've had a lot of backs in my career and TreVeyon is the best leader I've ever been around," said Locklyn
who also coached Patriots running back Antonio Gibson during his time at Memphis
Everything about him is what you want in a person
He was always doing things with the younger backs
going out to eat together and things like that
He's a strong believer in the fellowship of being together
He always says it's for the love of my brother
That's what makes him such a great pass protector
He'll play for 10 years and be a great organization guy
Henderson should get an opportunity to contribute to the offense immediately
Rhamondre Stevenson and Gibson top the returning depth chart at running back
with young Terrell Jennings is also set to return
Gibson has extensive experience as a pass catcher and showed the ability to be productive between the tackles last year
but he doesn't possess the kind of electricity Henderson can provide
who was immensely productive at Wisconsin before arriving in New England as a fourth-round pick back in 2014
But the rookie has the potential to be more dangerous than the ever-dependable White in the open field with his speed and explosiveness
The one thing Locklyn says Henderson may need to solidify his game is improvement when churning out the tough yards inside
It's not that Henderson lacks the power to do so
but his coach believes his patience on such plays could be better
Patriots second round pick TreVeyon Henderson addresses the media during his Draft conference call on Friday
"That's one thing when he was prepping for Combine interviews he asked me to help him with," Locklyn said
"I told him it's not always about being an on the outside getting the ball on the edge kind of guy
He understood that and he improved that this year
"He's going to be fine running between the tackles
He has enough weight on him and has a very high IQ as a football player and understands how to set up blocks and the run schemes
He'll have every opportunity to be a three-down back
He's just scratching the surface of what he can be."
Strengths: Exceptional working in space and accelerating … Finishes runs well
always moving forward … True home-run hitter with more than 22 percent of his carries resulting in gains of 10 yards or more … Excellent ball security with just two fumbles on 667 career touches … Excellent route-runner and pass protector … Team captain as a senior
Earned praise from coach Ryan Day with his team-first attitude … Willing to grind out tough yards between the tackles as well
Weaknesses: More comfortable as a change-of-pace back on the edges … At times struggles in tight spaces with his vision … Missed time during sophomore (five games/foot) and junior (three games) seasons due to injury
raising questions about his potential workload … Lacks patience at times
Personal: Played soccer and basketball growing up in Virginia … Excelled as a defensive back early in his HS career and was heavily recruited before adding running back duties as a junior … Older half-brother Ronnie Walker Jr
Younger brother Kesean was a three-star recruit in 2024 class … Uncle (Alphonso Harris) played running back at Morgan State and went to camp with Washington … Wears No
32 in honor of his grandfather (Albert Lee Harris) who was a record-breaking track and football star at Hopewell HS … Twitter handle: @TreVeyonH4

We will share funeral arrangements in the near future."

Ryan’s Lookout in Henderson has been sold to new ownership
a staple for those traveling into Henderson for almost 20 years
also owns a couple of businesses in the Henderson area including the Aspinwall Motel
He said his goal is to have the motel and the event center at Ryan’s Lookout work with each other
“Just to have some more synergy with the motel
The building was listed for sale in the fall of 2022 by then-owner Mary Lou Ferry as she was looking to relax after years of lifting cases of beer and moving everything out of the building into storage as summer turned to fall
Pagnotti said he has been interested in the property since he purchased the motel a couple of years ago
“Driving by it every day I just envisioned what I could do with it,” he said
Pagnotti closed on the property in late March for an undisclosed amount of money
He anticipates changing the name to Harbor Lookout
Pagnotti also owns the Snackle Box food truck and runs Chaumont Masters
who will assist with the food truck and help with catering for the event center
The new Harbor Lookout is not anticipated to be a restaurant
it will be more of an ice cream parlor with a breakfast menu including coffee and espresso
“It won’t be a full-on restaurant as it was in its last life,” he said
The 3,500-square-foot event center will stay the same
He sees the enclosed porch in front of the store where customers can overlook Lake Ontario as a place for families to sit and have some ice cream or breakfast
“My goal is to become a community hub there,” he said
“Make memorable moments and enjoy each other’s company.”
Colon will also assist with the food truck which is expected to be on the grounds
but it will be “a wide season,” Pagnotti said
“I want to grow and evolve based on what the community needs and desires,” he said
Pagnotti thanked the Ferry family for what they have done
who has died since retiring from the business
Pagnotti hopes to open the ice cream/breakfast side in mid-June to mid-July
The event side is set to open in the next couple weeks
It’s very big and there’s a full on bar,” he said

The idea of standing up and audibly ‘crying out’ to God through fervent praise and worship—or simply allowing her tears to flow—once made Leah Gavin nervous at her first Cry Out Conference
Gavin, a devoted member of The Lighthouse Church and Ministries, has deeply valued the fellowship and networking opportunities provided by the faith conference hosted by Pastor Keion Henderson — founder and senior pastor of TLHC — and his wife
knowing that Pastor Henderson’s steps are divinely ordered and that everything he and Lady Shaunie do reflects excellence
“Last year I got my ticket before I knew who was going to be here because I knew the Lord was going to be here
the Holy Spirit was going to be here because he dwells in that church,” she said
“Now it doesn’t matter who else is in the room
I’m in the room and I know God is in the room and that’s what matters,” Gavin said
“They [the Hendersons] made it definitely comfortable
You see all the people around you who are comfortable with praising
It’s part of the holistic experience that the Hendersons aim to curate for attendees — a safe place where they can heal
be vulnerable and authentic to themselves in their worship
and “cry out” without faking or caring who’s watching
they succeeded in creating an atmosphere filled with tears and powerful expressions of faith
as the third-floor general assembly room resonated with heartfelt praise
and singers alike released moments of worship
some overcome by the spirit—falling to the floor in reverence as they were gently covered with a cloth
“It’s just liberating,” said Evangelist LaTrice Ryan
who attended Cry Out Con for the first time this year and preached a passionate evening keynote on Day two of the conference
There are thousands and legions of angels crying
We don’t come to a Cry Out conference to be quiet.”
The multi-day event showcased powerful keynote addresses from renowned preachers across the country, including Pastor John Hannah of New Life Covenant Church Southeast in Chicago and Pastor Eric Thomas, widely recognized as “ET, The Hip Hop Preacher.” Attendees engaged in thought-provoking breakout sessions tailored for men and women
the conference fostered meaningful fellowship and connections
with lively dance breaks by Houston DJ Kiotti
also known as ‘Hardbody Kiotti,’ who played popular hits like “Boots on the Ground.” The event also featured electrifying musical performances from Todd Dulaney
This year’s conference theme, “A.I. All In,” builds upon the transformative foundation at the genesis of Cry Out Con, but also serves as a metaphor to today’s growing presence of artificial intelligence in everyday life. Henderson recently shared that he has used ChatGPT
“That same eagerness that you have to go all in on this technology
you should have that same devotion to go all in to your relationship with God
for everything that you do,” said Brian Smith
chief of communications at The Lighthouse Church and Ministries
Organizers reported that more than 3,000 attendees traveled both locally and from out of state
The conference also drew participants from five different countries—Australia
and England—underscoring its global impact
he said it challenged him to be more open-minded
he noticed a greater number of men in attendance and felt that
the event was more in-depth and intentional
including powerful female preachers like Ryan
Thomas echoed that message that it’s not a conference during his morning keynote on the second day of the conference
He also emphasized that he rarely participates in events or shows
choosing only to be where the spirit of the Lord is truly present.
“I knew that this wasn’t a show or an event
that they are literally trying to help people transform,” Thomas said to ESSENCE
“They’re giving them the tools that they need to transform.”

it doesn’t always signify pain—it can be something good
“I’ve had moments in my prayer corner where I’m just like
‘This is crazy what you’ve brought me through,’ I’m just grateful
And sometimes you have to cry out to let go,” she said
He can’t heal something you’re not acknowledging
Simone shared that she has realized her calling—to serve as a bridge between culture and the kingdom
She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to embody that purpose at the conference
the person that made me ‘famous,’ or that B
you can still walk and be yourself and be crazy and fun and outgoing and a little ghetto
the conference is taking its mission on the road to Jackson
Mississippi—a city where Henderson believes the conference is sorely needed
Taking Cry Out Con to Jackson makes it closer to other cities like Nashville
where many attendees typically travel from.
“They’ve been crying out and Houston is going to answer.”

EDNEYVILLE - Even as many Western North Carolina industries make progress toward recovery from Tropical Storm Helene
including apple growers in Henderson County
are still often struggling to get back to where they were before the storm
Federal and state disaster relief that they’ve been counting on for months has been trickling down the pipeline at a rate that some farmers say is too slow for the urgency of the situation
Apples are Henderson County’s signature crop
The county produces 85% of the state's apples and there is even an apple on the official county seal
The 150 orchards in Henderson County on average generate upward of $22 million every year
according to the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce's website
“We got a real temperate climate,” which is ideal for apples
a sixth-generation apple farmer and chairman of the Henderson-Polk-Transylvania Farm Service Agency office
“We don't have hurricanes. We don't have wildfires,” he said with a shrug. “Well, this year we had hurricanes and we had wildfires.”
about a 60% to 70% total loss” to his crop
Members of his family received relief money from FEMA and the Red Cross but “on the farm side of things … we’ve received nothing,” he said

Congress passed the American Relief Act of 2025
which allocated $31 billion in economic and disaster relief money to agricultural producers nationwide
$10 billion will go to growers of commodity crops like cotton
director of the Henderson County office of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension
Another $21 billion will go toward disaster relief for agriculture nationwide through the U.S
Department of Agriculture or state departments of agriculture
Some of the $10 billion has already gone out to farmers
that $20 billion has not started really flowing.”
Chuck Edwards told the Times-News that after an April meeting with White House officials
he believed Western North Carolina would soon see some relief
“They assured me that all of my requests to accelerate payments would be given high priority
and that they would be working with the various federal agencies responsible," Edwards said
“I believe that we can expect very soon to see those payments put into the hands of the people that need them."
the North Carolina General Assembly passed a $524 million relief package with $200 million for Helene recovery and another $111 for relief from other disasters including drought
The deadline to apply for that aid is May 4
Kelley estimated that farmers could start receiving checks in late June
“The biggest thing I'm hearing is that it's slow
and it's late,” he said of relief generally
and we're still waiting to get disaster relief from last year.”

“A lot of (farmers) have gone out on faith to put in another crop
not knowing whether they're going to get anything from last year or not,” he said
$200 million probably won’t be enough to sufficiently cover all the agricultural losses from Helene in Western North Carolina
Most of the agricultural relief that’s been paid out has gone through the federal Farm Service Agency and its subsidiaries
including the Emergency Conservation Program
which gives aid to restore damaged farmland
which provides assistance for losses to orchards and tree farms
But both of those require farmers to pay for restoration upfront and then be reimbursed afterward
Enloe said that he applied to the Tree Assistance Program for reimbursement on 2,800 trees but that he had around that amount again in losses that didn't qualify
Saturated ground combined with wind created conditions where the weight of the apples themselves could pull trees over
silt and debris from flooding covered the orchard floor
But it’s not only dead and downed trees that might need replacement
New trees from nurseries need to be planted together in rows with wire trellises
Gaps left by mature fallen trees can’t be filled without cutting down the whole row
That lost density “takes away the profitability of the orchard
The best thing to do is just start over,” Barnwell said
Barnwell said new trees might cost $15 each
“There are a lot of good folks at our local FSA office that are helping out with those
so I think those are going to come to fruition,” Enloe said
“But the time is the issue … (with) expenses piling up and then nothing on the backside of it yet.”
it probably won’t be able to fully reckon with the entire cost of damage in the long run
A mature “tree was going to produce for 30
you've wiped those 10 to 12 years of (the costs of raising the tree) off the map,” Enloe said

Henderson will follow former Duke assistant Jai Lucas
who was hired last month as Miami's new head coach
He committed and signed with the Blue Devils back in November
but he received his release and reopened his recruitment last week
A powerfully built 6-foot-6 small forward from Bellaire High School (Texas)
He earned a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup last summer
averaging 8.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in six games off the bench
Henderson also averaged 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds on the EYBL circuit in the spring and 14.7 points and 4.6 rebounds at the Nike Peach Jam in July
Following his play in the spring and at the USA Basketball trials
Duke extended a scholarship offer in June and made him a priority in July
Henderson was one of four top-30 signees for Duke, combining with five-star recruits Cameron Boozer (No. 3), Nikolas Khamenia (No. 15) and Cayden Boozer (No

playAdam Schefter details the latest on NFL rule changes (0:39)Adam Schefter reports on rule changes in the NFL
including allowing both teams to possess the ball in overtime
The traditional chain crew will remain on the sidelines in a secondary capacity
The three-day event also included numerous owners
general managers and coaches discussing the makeup of their teams and answering the most pressing questions in this period between free agency and the draft
and more than 20 ESPN reporters were on the scene to collect the highlights:
The NFL last month made a small but potentially significant change to its funding rule
which requires teams to hold in escrow an amount of money sufficient to cover the fully guaranteed money in the future years of their players' contracts
the date on which that money needed to be funded was always March 31
According to a March 7 league memo obtained by ESPN
the date is now "permanently extended to two business days after the April television contract distributions (i.e
allowing clubs to utilize these distributions as a funding source."
that money would not have been subject to the funding rule because it didn't become guaranteed until after the March 31 funding date
which means the 49ers likely have to put more money into escrow to cover future-year guarantees than they used to
Coach Aaron Glenn said Fields has untapped potential
"I think he's a dynamic player and I think there's more that we can get out of that player
still hasn't been cleared after missing last season due to a horrific leg injury from college
Travis will be challenged if the Jets pick a quarterback on Day 3 of the draft
but not to the point that the Patriots would consider trading him right now
Coach Mike Vrabel hinted that Milton's situation could potentially look different as April unfolds
Everybody wants to be the starter," Vrabel said
And he was ready for his opportunity there late in the season
just like I would any player that sat there
or where Joe is on April 7 to start our [voluntary] offseason program." -- Mike Reiss
The Eagles did nothing this week to signal their intention to keep tight end Dallas Goedert on the roster; if anything
their comments pointed in the other direction
he's on our football team," coach Nick Sirianni said
they're making some tough choices this offseason on contributors with sizable salaries who haven't been identified as core options moving forward
Goedert's injury history (he has missed three-plus games in each of the past three seasons) appears to be working against him in that regard
it's hard to envision Goedert returning to Philly in 2025
who signed with the Raiders earlier in the offseason
Spytek called the Raiders' wide receiver situation unique since tight end Brock Bowers functions as a No
"I know [Bowers] is not the speed guy down the field, but he's a problem," Spytek said. "And we got [tight end] Michael Mayer coming back too
and we'll try to find some more new players." -- Ryan McFadden
Despite the Raiders sending a third-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Geno Smith
Raiders coach Pete Carroll acknowledged the possibility remains that they could still opt for a quarterback with the No
adding that Smith is an "immediate fix" who they expect to get a "number of years" from
"But that doesn't mean that we don't see guys -- there are some guys coming up with tremendous potential." -- Lindsey Thiry
It doesn't look as if tight end Mark Andrews is going elsewhere after all
Asked about Andrews' status with the Ravens
"I do fully expect him to be playing for us next year
There had been speculation about Andrews' future with the team since last month
when general manager Eric DeCosta was noncommittal at the NFL combine after being asked whether he would consider trade offers for the franchise's career touchdown leader
is entering the final year of his four-year
$56 million contract and is coming off one of the most frustrating seasons of his career
He averaged 39.6 yards receiving per game last season
When Caleb Williams arrives at Halas Hall for the start of the offseason program next week
the second-year quarterback will begin learning a new offense that will push him out of his comfort zone
"There are some things that we're going to encourage that he looks to do a little bit differently," Bears coach Ben Johnson said
"He's been predominantly a shotgun quarterback for most of his high school and college career
We're going to work to see the comfort level under center and how much of that applies."
Johnson's offense with the Lions was under center for 56.2% of their snaps last season
the highest rate for any NFL team since 2020
Williams was under center only 26.4% of the time as a rookie (16th) and didn't have much experience with it in college either (seven career pass attempts under center between USC and Oklahoma
mostly at the goal line or in short-yardage situations)
Williams playing under center should allow the Bears to run more play-action
Detroit was first in play-action rate in 2024 (36.1%)
which Johnson believes will translate to the success of the run game (Detroit had the No
6 rushing offense) and the passing game in Williams' second season
"We had a lot of success where I was last that going under center for the run game did translate in play-action," Johnson said

All 49ers eyes remain on getting a lucrative contract extension done with quarterback Brock Purdy
and the Niners are publicly and privately maintaining their leverage with Purdy in the form of future franchise tags
but general manager John Lynch didn't entirely dismiss the idea that a deal could be done in time for the start of the offseason program in mid-April
"I don't think it's too optimistic [to get it done by then]," Lynch said
"I think I understand why Brock wants that
so we've just got to find that right place for both sides
and I would love nothing more than for that to be the case."
the biggest question remains just how much Purdy will earn on his deal
Owner Jed York called Purdy a top-10 quarterback Tuesday
an indication that the team is willing to pay him as such
Neal has struggled in his first three seasons at tackle
ranking 74th of 76 qualifying tackles in pass block win rate (82.9%) since entering the league
"[The] good thing about Evan is he's going to do whatever he can to help the team
The team will look different here in four weeks," Schoen said
he's willing to do whatever he can do to help the team
But he's apparently seen blue for a while now
The Vikings have had a secret weapon the past two years when navigating the free agent market
"When Flo kind of has that tone in his voice about guys," O'Connell said
Rodgers signed a two-year, $14 million contract, indicating a possible role as a No. 3 cornerback, but it appears he has the inside track to be a starter opposite Byron Murphy Jr
"I see Isaiah being an every-down impact guy," O'Connell said
the "roster's pretty full at that position right now," O'Connell said
The trade request that led the Seahawks to send DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh last month wasn't the first time he asked out of Seattle
the star receiver had requested trades multiple times in recent offseasons
That revelation sheds light on Seattle's decision to deal Metcalf to the Steelers for the No
52 selection and a swap of late-round picks
The Seahawks didn't plan on trading him at the start of the offseason
but they had to weigh Metcalf's prolonged unhappiness in addition to the inherent risk of signing a player to a massive third contract
according to multiple sources familiar with the trade talks
But his contract situation complicated the matter
as it meant the Seahawks had to find a trade partner that would not only give them enough compensation in return but also be willing and able to sign Metcalf to a new deal
The Patriots were interested in trading for Metcalf
but he effectively nixed that possibility by making it known that he didn't want to go to New England
according to a source familiar with the discussions
The Colts have been frequently linked to the tight ends expected to be chosen in the early portions of this draft
and they are not hiding from the reality that they need to address the position
Indianapolis' tight ends were among the least productive in the passing game last season
collectively ranking 31st in receiving yards with 467
"We all want a game-changer," general manager Chris Ballard said
"I think every team in the league wants a game-changer
The Commanders believe they have a great chance of maximizing newly acquired receiver Deebo Samuel for one key reason: He's in the final year of his contract
The team believes it'll get a highly motivated player and "get the best out of him."
and it's really infectious throughout the team," said Washington general manager Adam Peters
who was with Samuel in San Francisco for five seasons
The Commanders can't wait to see Samuel operate in their offense because of coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's creativity
But they also like the toughness he has displayed as a runner and a blocker
Coach Dan Quinn said it was difficult in the past for him to prepare defensively against Samuel
"He could be in different locations and not just play in traditional spots," Quinn said
sometimes when there's a unique player and you're wanting to give special attention
I'm really pumped." -- John KeimCary Edmondson/Imagn Images
General manager Les Snead said the Rams are "working through" a possible contract extension with running back Kyren Williams
who is entering the final year of his rookie deal
"We would definitely like to engineer a long-term partnership with Kyren," Snead said
Williams accounted for 43% of the Rams' touches last season
Williams ran for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns on 316 carries
He also had 34 catches for 182 yards and two touchdowns
"Will we come to an agreement for an extension?" Snead said
but a lot of times because it's early and there's no real deadline
[it might be a longer process]." -- Sarah Barshop
With Rams coach Sean McVay revealing this week that quarterback Matthew Stafford might not have signed his new contract
here's what I heard about the situation coming out of the owners meetings: The deal is agreed upon in principle but a few minor details must be hashed out; The Rams and Stafford agreed about a month ago that he would not be traded and that the Rams would increase his compensation in 2025
And Stafford eschewed massive money on the trade market to remain a Ram
as long as the team respected his stature in the game with a more enticing deal
The Steelers' acquisition of Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf might suggest the organization could move on from 2022 second-round wide receiver George Pickens as he enters an extension-eligible offseason
"No, you need more than one receiver in this league," general manager Omar Khan said. "And we're fortunate we have George and [Calvin Austin] and excited about what [Roman Wilson] is going to be able to do for us."
Each inked a monster extension this offseason
Chase led the league with 1,708 receiving yards and 17 touchdown catches in 2024
while Higgins had 911 yards and 10 touchdown grabs
"As a guy who grew up on the defensive side of the ball
we got multiple people schematically you got to work to minimize," Tomlin said
"It really challenges you in terms of some of the things that you do
We see similar challenges within our division
and so we're excited about putting together a group that has that type of collective presence." -- Brooke Pryor
There do not seem to be any concerns about Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and his ability to move forward after suffering a fractured tibia and fibula in Week 6 that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024 season
General manager Brad Holmes and the organization remain confident that Hutchinson will be ready for the start of 2025
"I've seen enough movement and mobility in running at this stage that I feel very confident where he's gonna be at," Holmes said
Hutchinson's former college coach at Michigan
has known him since his teenage years and says he has "no doubt" that Hutchinson will "come back 100 percent and even better" this season
-- Eric WoodyardMatthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire
"I think we've got competition there," Taylor said
"It'd be foolish for me to speak before the draft
The Bengals have also stood pat on linebacker Germaine Pratt
Taylor said the team will keep moving forward with Pratt "right now" and see how the offseason unfolds
"We did our due diligence and went through all the guys that were available and which ones fit best," Callahan said
"I think it's just adding a collection of arms that we continue to develop."
Callahan said the Titans are still vetting the draft process and should have their final decision in the next couple of weeks
But their current quarterbacks room is no indication they'll select one with the top pick
The Titans have come out of pre-draft visits and workouts pleased with Ward's personality and demeanor
They feel he checks plenty of the boxes off the field
Tennessee's process in determining the top pick is ongoing
they have been impressed with Ward's makeup
helped develop the Titletown District around Lambeau Field and helped bring the NFL draft to Green Bay later this month
The sale of an NFL team would have been one of the biggest stories of a league meeting
but Murphy's last annual league meeting still resonated with the owners
"Bringing in someone from the outside who was able to fit in and help make the Packers more successful than what they have been before and navigate some pretty challenging waters is a credit to Mark," 49ers owner Jed York said
The Browns hold the No. 2 pick in the draft, but the Cleveland contingent in attendance for the league's annual meeting -- coach Kevin Stefanski, general manager Andrew Berry and owner Jimmy Haslam -- all said the team wouldn't force a quarterback selection. It makes it very plausible then that Kenny Pickett
whom the team acquired in a trade with the Eagles in March
Stefanski and Berry said they are confident if Pickett
the only healthy quarterback currently on the roster
is a player Cleveland sought as a trade target dating to last offseason
"We do think that there's a pretty credible path for him to continue to improve and take a step forward," Berry said of 26-year-old Pickett
Receiver Chris Olave suffered two concussions last year and then sat out to protect himself for the future
told ESPN he believes Olave is a "phenomenal player" who will make a huge impact
Moore said it's a matter of education for the first-year head coach "and understanding the circumstances he is in." Moore said he knows Olave "has been through a lot the last year or two," and they have a plan to continue his progression and Moore said he believes Olave is excited about his opportunity
BALTIMORE -- Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson is expected to return to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday at Kansas City after missing the start of the season with a right intercostal strain
Manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson is "probable" for the series opener against the Royals
He was not activated for Thursday's home game against Boston
finishing fourth in the American League MVP race
Baltimore's offense has remained explosive without him
scoring at least eight runs in four of the team's first six games
although the Orioles were shut out by Boston on Wednesday night

HENDERSONVILLE — West Henderson softball's Kayden Lyda has always looked up to her father
John starred on the Falcons' baseball team
Jackson followed in his father's footsteps
She also plays shortstop and bats lead-off for West Henderson
So it was only natural that Kayden wanted to go to Western Carolina to play softball after Jackson committed and signed to play baseball for the Catamounts
I stopped going to any other camps besides Western
and I put all my mind and power into going there."
Here's how John and Jackson helped mold Kayden into one of the best softball players in Western North Carolina
She was an All-American soccer player at Milligan University in Tennessee
also were standout athletes at West Henderson
That Kayden is the only female among her brother and their cousins may have been a positive
West Henderson softball coach Dana Braznell said
"She's the only girl in a family of boys," Braznell said
"So she had to be tough and step into that role and work
The years Kayden spent playing sports in the yard with her family are evident when she takes the court for basketball or the diamond for softball
She readily dives for grounders and doesn't flinch about getting hit by a pitch
Kayden is one of the Falcons' top hitters and fielders
She bats leadoff and has helped the team achieve a 18-3 record and a second-place finish in Mountain 7 Conference play
With only a few games remaining in the regular season
she has a .400 batting average with five doubles
three home runs and 20 RBIs to go along with 11 stolen bases
She has only one error in 50 total chances at shortstop
Kayden said her father has played an instrumental role in her and Jackson Lyda's success
he always kept pushing us to never let us back down
No matter what challenges we had in our lives
he was always there to support us and bring us back up."
She said she always knows where to look for her father during games
He is always beyond the outfield fence toward right field
John said he sits out there during games after a middle school baseball coach told him that Jackson looked at him too much during games
"I want the coaches to coach my kids," he said
I can yell from the outfield if I need to say something
so they aren't looking at me between every swing and defensive play
FRANKLIN FOOTBALL: Franklin football will play 2025 home games at Western Carolina and Rabun Gap-Nacoochee
Jackson is also one of Kayden's most prominent supporters
Jackson would tell me what I did wrong," Kayden Lyda said
he would always help me find a negative thing to help me do better
Even 60 miles away at Western Carolina this year
and he'll be texting me after sending videos," Kayden said
Jackson won't need videos as often to give feedback on Kayden's game because they will be playing at Western Carolina
Kayden is focused on helping West Henderson make a deep run in the NCHSAA 3A playoffs before moving on to college softball
But she also looks forward to playing in front of her two idols again
"Both of them are my heroes and my biggest influences in different types of ways," Kayden said
Then my brother is the person I look up to the most

— Henderson County residents are getting much-needed support after recent flooding left dozens of homes severely damaged.
The American Red Cross has opened a disaster resource center to help survivors navigate recovery at 1213 Washington St.
operating Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m
“We wanted to be able to provide a resource center for those families who have major damage or destroyed homes,” said Beth Sweeney
executive director of the American Red Cross Southwest chapter
The center offers in-person support for survivors with representatives explaining assistance programs
helping to apply for financial aid and connecting people to other resources
Approximately 43 homes in Henderson County have major damage or are destroyed
and that number could grow as assessment continues
Sweeney said most of those people have been texted or called
letting them know they’re eligible for assistance
“If it is a need that maybe the Red Cross doesn’t provide
we are working to connect them with other resources in the community," she said
"And there are lots of them."
a Hebbardsville resident who lives along the Green River
Floodwaters damaged three structures on her property
“It came so quick; we tried to move as much as we could out," Wells said
"We had raised two of the four structures on the property up a couple blocks
it got underneath the bottom of the house and damaged the structure pretty bad
now we’ve got a lot that we’re cleaning up.”
Wells visited the center to explore available programs
especially after losing about $800 worth of propane when her tank flipped over.
She’s registered for assistance and is waiting to see if Henderson County is declared a federal disaster area
While the shelter that was initially set up in Henderson during the flooding is no longer open
the Red Cross will continue to provide support with volunteers from across the country ready to lend a helping hand
the Red Cross encourages visiting the resource center through Thursday or calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
Disaster assistance will be a rollout process for other counties
As the Red Cross finishes damage assessments in those counties
information will go out to households that have major damage or destroyed homes
Charles Henderson runner Payton Ousley won a pair of state crowns at the Class 4A-7A State Track and Field Meet
Ousley captured the gold in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dash
While Ousley finished in third place during prelims in the 100-meter dash
she managed to capture the state championship with a time of 12.16
beating out the runner-up Zykeria Heflin of Central-Clay County with a time of 12.36
In the 200-meter dash, Ousley again finished third during prelims before then blazing her way to the state championship with a time of 24.92, beating out second place Heflin’s time of 25.13. The sophomore also won a state championship in the 100-meter dash last season
marking her as a back-to-back state champion
Pike County High School also had a number of athletes competing at the state meet
Khalil Foster took a ninth place finish in the boys long jump and triple jump

A Hamilton County judge has declared a mistrial in a murder case after the defendant − who was representing himself − was found injured in his solitary jail cell in a pool of blood
Christian Henderson's jury trial
Prosecutors were expected to rest their case May 1
a corrections officer at the Hamilton County Justice Center who was doing a routine check saw Henderson lying on his cell's floor "in a pool of blood," Prosecutor Connie Pillich said
Henderson was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and released later the same day
Although Henderson had been representing himself
an attorney who was serving as his standby counsel
Kennedy said Henderson doesn't remember going to the hospital and only remembers being discharged
Kennedy said he spoke to Henderson shortly before he came into the courtroom and that Henderson "had no idea" what they had discussed a few hours earlier
Kennedy also said there were "issues with him being able to remember what happened in the trial."
Henderson is in no mental state to be able to defend himself against these very serious charges," Kennedy said
Kennedy also said it wasn't clear what happened to Henderson in his cell
Doctors did not diagnose him with anything at the hospital
Henderson faces charges including aggravated murder and aggravated robbery in the June 2021 killing of 23-year-old Luke Macke
According to court documents, Savanah Wilson

Henderson Police and Fire Departments responded to a shooting incident on the 1200 block of Imperia Drive
officers discovered a 53-year-old woman deceased and a 74-year-old man holding a handgun
Officers engaged in negotiations with the armed man for about 40 minutes before he sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound
Authorities confirmed that this was not an officer-involved shooting
Preliminary investigations by Henderson detectives suggest the incident was a murder-suicide
The Clark County Coroner’s Office on Thursday identified the woman as 53-year-old Leah Klass
This case marks the third homicide investigation in Henderson for 2025
Every position on Missouri football’s 2025 roster now has a newcomer
Henderson is the fourth player Mizzou has gained out of the transfer portal in the spring window. The Tigers also have received commitments from Iowa tight end Gavin Hoffman
Illinois State wide receiver Xavier Loyd and Florida State offensive lineman Jaylen Early
Missouri has signed 22 total players out of the transfer portal since the winter window opened
Saturday’s announcement marked the first commitment from a defensive tackle
Henderson appears to have one remaining year of eligibility
adding some experience to a room that is losing its most veteran player
Three-year starter Kristian Williams exhausted his eligibility at the end of the 2024 season and recently signed as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos
Mizzou didn’t lose any tackles to the transfer portal
Returning seniors Chris McClellan and Sterling Webb are likely to form the core of Mizzou’s defensive tackle rotation
the Tigers will still need to rely on some development from the rest of their returning cast
are the frontrunners to earn the bulk of the remaining reps up front
Both have now been on the Mizzou roster for three full seasons
Missouri elevates one or both into prominent members of the rotation
“Really encouraging both Jalen Marshall and Marquis Gracial to take that next step,” Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz said April 8
“They've been in the rotation and kind of waiting their turn
He has 33 college games under his belt and 51 career tackles
The signing is unlikely to be more than a depth piece in the upcoming season
it does give the Tigers security and competitive depth in a room that could otherwise be stretched somewhat thin

More: Missouri football transfer portal tracker: Here’s who is in, out for Mizzou in spring
Missouri now appears to have 83 scholarship players
which means head coach Eli Drinkwitz and company have room to add two more scholarship players and fall within the SEC limits of 85 scholarship players and 20 walk-ons for the 2025 season
It’s possible that the addition of Henderson marks the end of Mizzou’s transfer portal work
it’s likely to be a player who can compete for the job at left tackle along the offensive line

Dwain McFarland projects the workloads for rookie running backs for fantasy football 2025
we've been hard at work behind the scenes on our new ceiling and floor logic
which helps us account for variance in fantasy scoring
I am proud of the work we've done because we've isolated all the stats to understand which ones offer the most variance and how that impacts future performance for different levels of players
While our premium subscribers will learn much more about this logic as we roll out new tools this summer
everyone gets a sneak peek at how we can use it to gain insights in fantasy football
What better way to do that than evaluating the rookie running back class based on their skillsets and landing spots
as we will use my baseline projections as the starting point for the median result
it is worth noting that we aim for a median forecast in our process
we will allow the logic to analyze each back's projected stats and provide us with a range of outcomes for PPR fantasy points per game
My median projection has Jeanty taking over the Raiders' backfield from Day 1 with 67% of the rushing attempts and a 55% route participation rate. That translates into 16.4 points per game, ranking third behind only Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson
a number that has been reached 23 times since 2011
Jeanty could finish as the RB1 overall as a rookie
Hampton's median projection is based on a gradual backfield takeover that culminates around midseason
The result would be 55% of the rushing attempts with a 40% route participation
While the median projection could be maddening for drafters early in the season
the variance logic powering his ceiling projections paints a bullish picture with 17.9 points per contest
Takeaway: Hampton's median outcome isn't going to inspire fantasy managers
but we shouldn't assume to be so good at predicting these things—his ceiling outcome is worth the swing
Harvey's baseline projection isn't as easy as the backs ahead of him
and while the depth chart in Denver is wide open
Sean Payton has played musical chairs with his backfields many times before
I projected Harvey for 45% of the attempts with a 40% route participation rate
his prowess as a plus option in the passing game and big-play ability push his ceiling near that of Hampton
Takeaway: Harvey goes 45 picks after Hampton in best ball drafts
making him a high-priority target before the gap narrows
With Judkins, the median projection assumes he takes over the early-down work from the start but gives away passing reps to other backs, like Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson
He projects for 55% of the attempts with a 30% route participation
He offers a very similar median workload to Hampton
Takeaway: In a world where predictions are not always accurate
the variance in Judkins' projections is almost as promising as Hampton's
And the fact that he goes 29 picks later in fantasy drafts makes his potential even more appealing
I have the Patriots' backfield divided into a 1A/1B split, with 46% of the attempts going to Rhamondre Stevenson and 44% going to TreVeyon Henderson
The same thing plays out in the route participation department
That creates a median projection scenario of 9.9 points per game in PPR
the ceiling projection of 15.6 is much more encouraging
Henderson doesn't have to do much to swing things in his favor with the new coaching regime of Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels
Takeaway: Henderson's median projection doesn't benefit from an immediate takeover like some of the other profiles
but his ceiling scenario is still in a range that would make him a highly viable fantasy asset
Johnson received only a 20% route participation in his median projection
Takeaway: Johnson's floor and median projections are stronger than Henderson's, but his fewer path to victory subdues his ceiling. His ceiling still offers value on Underdog as the RB25, but he shouldn't go ahead of RJ Harvey
The Cowboys' backfield is wide open with only Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders standing in the way
Blue was at his best in college as a receiving outlet out of the backfield
For the baseline projections of this backfield
with Williams receiving more attempts (47%)
Blue received the second-best route participation at 30%
Takeaway: The variance logic acknowledges how challenging it is to predict a convoluted backfield like this one
providing Blue with a low-end RB3 season within his range of outcomes
Blue is a late-round selection at pick 183 on Underdog
Bonus: If you are wondering what Williams' range of outcomes using the new floor/ceiling logic looks like
we know better than to think Williams has any sort of ceiling like that
and that's the whole point of using the new ceiling and floor variance logic
you could argue that my 47% baseline attempt share for Williams is too high; that is fair
but it seems reasonable considering the available bodies
it's tough to use this methodology because his best-case scenario involves fully taking over the backfield at some point during the season
which is impossible for the variance model to handle in a backfield we project as a three-way split
I don't expect Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby to fade away just because the Jags added an RB in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. Yes, the Super Model loves Tuten
but he must earn his place in the pecking order
think of this more as his early-season range of outcomes
and we will adjust as we get more information from training camp
I have Tuten slated for 30% of the rushing attempts and a 25% route participation rate
Takeaway: Tuten could provide RB4 value in his upside scenario early in the year
but we need more clarity around this backfield split to get a proper grip on his range of outcomes
Bonus: If we heard that Tuten was the lead in a committee (50% attempts and 40% route participation)
this is how his range of outcomes would shift:
The scenario above more closely resembles how we could view Tuten by midseason
Skattebo is in a very similar position to Tuten. Tyrone Tracy played admirably last season, and Devin Singletary is still on the roster
As much as the Rookie Super Model loves Skattebo and his receiving prowess
there isn't a way to reasonably project a Round 4 pick as anything more than a piece in a three-way committee as a starting point
let's skip the takeaway since there isn't much of one and look at how the calculus changes for a prospect like Skattebo if he moves into a role where he gets 45% of the rushing attempts and 45% of the passing-down work

Should you draft TreVeyon Henderson or Quinshon Judkins in 2025 dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts
Dan Fornek breaks down the profiles and landing spots for Henderson and Judkins
and now we get to sit around and wait for training camps and preseason football before the 2025 NFL season
this also signals one of the best times of the year - the time when all our rookie drafts will take place
This class had no shortage of dynasty-relevant skill players
One choice that dynasty managers will undoubtedly make when they are on the clock in the first round is trying to decide between two teammates, Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson
Which Ohio State running back should you add in your rookie drafts
Judkins entered the 2025 draft at age 21.5 after three college seasons with Ole Miss and Ohio State
Judkins was seen as a more deliberate and powerful runner based on his film in college
but shocked many when he ran a 4.48 40-yard dash at six feet and 221 pounds at the NFL combine
Henderson entered the 2025 NFL draft at age 22.5 after spending four seasons at Ohio State
Henderson is known for his explosiveness with the ball in his hands (especially in space) and is one of the best pass-protecting running backs in this class
There are a few running backs in the 2025 class that can stack up with Judkins’ production in college
he showed that he could be a true workhorse
handling 545 carries for 2,725 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and 31 touchdowns
Judkins also provided 37 receptions for 281 yards (7.6 yards per reception) and three touchdowns during his time with the Rebels
Judkins elected to transfer for his final collegiate season
seeking an opportunity to win a National Championship
He entered a timeshare with Henderson but still handled a bulk of the workload (194 carries for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns with 22 receptions for 161 yards and two receiving scores)
Judkins amassed over 4,000 all-purpose yards and 50 touchdowns
He’s hit 1,200 Total Yards + 15 TDs in ALL 3 of his Collegiate Seasons.

Henderson burst onto the college football scene during his 2021 freshman season with Ohio State and was immediately viewed as the next great running back
Henderson averaged 6.8 yards per carry while handling 183 carries for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns
amassing 27 receptions for 312 yards and four scores
Henderson was unable to replicate that success over the next two seasons as he navigated a series of injuries
Henderson was limited to just 18 games in 2022 and 2023
accruing just 186 touches for 1,754 all-purpose yards and 18 total touchdowns
He averaged just 6.0 yards per touch compared to 7.4 as a freshman
Ohio State made a concerted effort to find a running back to complement Henderson to maximize his explosiveness and maintain his health before the 2024 season
they recruited Judkins off the transfer portal to split the workload
The result was a return to form for Henderson in Ohio State’s National Championship campaign
Henderson carried the ball 144 times for 1,016 yards (7.1 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns
He also added 27 receptions for 284 yards and a receiving score

Both Judkins and Henderson were selected in the second round of the NFL draft
Henderson gained some late momentum as a potential first-round pick ahead of the draft
but ultimately Judkins was selected first as the third running back drafted in the class
The Cleveland Browns used the 36th overall pick on Judkins to serve as their replacement for Nick Chubb
Judkins was immediately elevated to the top of the running back depth chart as the only back on the roster capable of handling the early-down volume
Judkins does have the skill set to contribute on all three downs at the NFL level, but it seems like he will not get the chance. Jerome Ford is still on the roster and would likely serve as the team’s pass-catching back. The Browns also invested a fourth-round pick in Tennessee’s Dylan Sampson
to serve as an explosive change-of-pace back and receiving threat out of the backfield
Another complicating factor is the uncertainty about Cleveland’s offense
Cleveland's offensive line is no longer one of the best units in the league
and the team doesn’t seemingly have a long-term answer at quarterback
Judkins may have landed with a team that will be playing behind due to a bad offense
limiting his impact on games if he’s not on the field in passing situations
Both Ford and Sampson ultimately cap Judkins’ upside
He will likely lead Cleveland’s backfield in touches over the next few seasons
but his ability to contribute high-value receiving fantasy points was certainly wiped out with Sampson joining the team
Henderson was selected with the 38th overall pick by the New England Patriots to add some necessary explosion to the backfield
his role in his first season (and potentially in future seasons) is far less certain
New England gave Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year
$36 million contract extension before the 2024 football season that kicks in during 2025
That contract ensures that Stevenson will be part of the team in 2025 and likely 2026 ($3.25 million dead cap) before his guaranteed money runs out
Stevenson is far from a great running back
but he has shown that he is more than capable of factoring into an NFL backfield
he’s played in 44 games (33 starts) while averaging 191 carries
Henderson will start his career in a timeshare
although it is very likely that his role holds a lot of value as New England’s third-down back
Considering how carefully Ohio State managed his workload to keep him healthy in college
there is a chance he never fully develops into a bell cow back
The Patriots worked hard to upgrade their offensive line this offseason, signing Morgan Moses and drafting Will Campbell to fortify the tackle position. The team also has 2024 first-round pick Drake Maye under center
giving them a legitimate quarterback of the future
fantasy managers picking between Henderson and Judkins are choosing between two good prospects
A lot of the choice will come down to preference: do you want the explosive passing down back or the one who will have to grind out carries and score touchdowns to reach a scoring ceiling
nobody wants to read an article where the verdict is qualifying both players
so the recommendation here is to draft Henderson over Judkins in your 2025 rookie drafts
Not only does Henderson offer more in the passing game
but we do have an example of him handling a bell-cow workload in his collegiate profile (although it did end with injury)
there is a chance that the Patriots' offense is far more productive than Cleveland’s for the duration of their rookie deals
(Know that either option will have a positive impact on your running back room for 2025 and beyond if everyone stays healthy.)
