This year's draft heavy on size, light on glamour This year's NFL draft is heavy on size and light on glamour. There's no high-profile quarterback destined to go No. 1 and instantly become the face of a downtrodden franchise.

Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon did not practice Thursday as the Nuggets got back in the gym ahead of their NBA Cup home game against the Mavericks.
Gordon is still rehabbing from a right calf strain and is unlikely to play Friday (8 p.m. MT) after missing the last two weeks.
On a Thursday in Deion Sanders’ world that saw Julian Lewis unofficially enter CU’s orbit, Travis Hunter decided to more or less make his exit official.
Hunter, the CU Buffs’ two-way star and front-runner for the 2024 Heisman Trophy, said during a conference call with reporters Thursday that he’s “definitely” forgoing the rest of his collegiate eligibility to enter the 2025 NFL draft.

Denver Post beat reporters Parker Gabriel and Ryan McFadden break down Bo Nix’s breakout performance against Atlanta in which he threw for 307 yards and four touchdowns.

Coach Prime just landed his biggest recruit yet, receiving a verbal commitment Thursday from prep quarterback Julian Lewis, ESPN’s No. 2 recruit in the Class of 2025.
Lewis, a five-star QB out of Carrollton, Ga., is one of the top quarterback prospects in his age group and gives the CU Buffs a clear successor to Shedeur Sanders.
The Georgia teen took his final official on-campus visit to CU in June.
