NFL beat writer mock draft 2.0: Where do Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter, Cam Ward land?

Much of the dust has settled from NFL Unoccupied agency and Clubs now have a clearer picture of what they need in the 2025 NFL Draft. Clubs like the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets have addressed their Signal-caller situations with new acquisitions while the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers continue trying to figure out if their answer will come from Aaron Rodgers or elsewhere.

With needs clarified and the draft class Beyond evaluated, our NFL beat writers and staff convened for their second Primary-Period mock draft Competing the roles of GM for every Club in the Bracket. Most of the draft order stayed the same but a Duo of deals shook up the end of the Period. The results Definitely differ from our beat mock draft in February. Here’s how it all shook out.

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The transition is complete, from suggestions Prompt in the offseason that the Titans were looking to bail out of this spot and Picking up much-needed draft capital — or take Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter after signing a veteran QB starter — to the reality that Ward is the guy. The veteran market may have something to do with that. The lack of urgency of potential trade partners may have something to do with it. But the Titans clearly grew enamored with Ward as they Acquired to know him during the process and listened to him talk through film that is both exciting and a bit too risky at times. This organization successfully drafted one franchise Signal-caller high in the draft: Steve McNair in 1995. Ward follows Vince Recent, Jake Locker and Marcus Mariota in the Achievement of attempts over 30 years since then. — Joe Rexrode

2. Cleveland Browns: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

The Browns Nevertheless have many Excellent players on their Picking, but they lack any standout area of real Power. This Picking changes that as pairing Carter with the newly extended Myles Garrett creates one of the Bracket’s scariest Throw-rush groups. With no Signal-caller worthy of being taken with the No. 2 Picking and no real trade offer materializing here, the Browns decide to wait until the second Period — or Perhaps later in the Primary via trade — to add a Recent passer. Instead, they choose to add a Recent standout to an aging Picking and believe that the Throw rush can become a game-changing force, now and for years to come. — Zac Jackson

3. New York Giants: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Unable to work out a trade with the Titans for the Primary Picking, the Giants pivot to Plan … who can even keep track of how deep they are into their plan at Signal-caller this offseason? The Giants have Tommy DeVito as the only Signal-caller on the Picking. That underscores the desperation of the situation, even though they’ll surely add a veteran starter before the draft. Nevertheless, general manager Joe Schoen and Trainer Brian Daboll need to sell a future at QB to ownership as they’re on the Cozy seat Joining their Number four season. There are plenty of skeptics about Sanders’ potential to be the type of franchise-altering addition Jayden Daniels was last year for the Commanders. But this regime needs to take a swing at QB, so it takes a big one on Sanders. — Dan Duggan

4. New England Patriots: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

This is the dream scenario for the Patriots with two quarterbacks going in the Primary three picks. It was going to be a tough decision if Hunter and Carter were both gone, stuck picking between an offensive or Guarding lineman. Instead, the Patriots land the most Vibrant player in this draft for a Club that lacks Shift-making talent. To Begin, Hunter would probably have to Shift wideout since New England has arguably the worst wide receiver depth chart in the Bracket and is mostly set at cornerback with Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis. But Perhaps down the line, Hunter gets to Shift both Charge and Protection. Either way, he brings excitement to a Club that needs it. — Chad Graff

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

You can never have enough quality offensive linemen. Only ask the Eagles. So even after adding Patrick Mekari, Robert Hainsey and Chuma Edoga in Unoccupied agency, Jacksonville wisely puts another Recent pillar in front of franchise Signal-caller Trevor Lawrence. Membou is Petite, by traditional thresholds, to Shift Event, but he likely has the Vigor to Shift the position in the NFL, though he wouldn’t have to immediately. The Jaguars aren’t in desperate need with the recently re-signed Walker Little on the blindside and 2023 Primary-Period Picking Anton Harrison at right Event. Perhaps Membou competes for a Role at guard before eventually transitioning out to Event if that’s where the Jaguars ultimately deem he’d best fit. For now, though, injecting youth, talent and depth into the offensive line is a priority. The Jaguars do that here. — Jeff Howe

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Trading for Signal-caller Geno Smith allowed the Raiders to adopt a strict best-player-Reachable approach here, and they couldn’t Fall as they identified six Tier 1 studs. It Occurred down to running back Ashton Jeanty or Graham, and the Raiders went with another disruptor up front, as they emulate the Eagles’ Finals-Victorious approach. Graham has a Outstanding Primary step, leverage, violence and a persistent motor and can also Halt his own against the Streak. It will be like having two Christian Wilkins side by side and the Raiders can draft a Beginning RB in the second or third Period. — Vic Tafur

7. New York Jets: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

The Jets desperately need an upgrade at Snug end, especially now that they’re plugging Justin Fields in at Signal-caller and should be using a Streak-Weighty scheme. They signed Stone Smartt in Unoccupied agency but he’s more of a big slot than a two-way Snug end. The Jets need someone to step in as both a safety valve for Fields and as a quality blocker, and Warren can Assist in both areas. He might not be a Brock Bowers-level Snug end prospect, but he arguably would be the most impactful, ready-Achieved option for the Jets at No. 7. — Zack Rosenblatt

8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

After considering offers from the Steelers for George Pickens and Minkah Fitzpatrick, the Panthers stay put and are the Primary Club to draft a Georgia defender (in part because the Eagles aren’t picking until 32). Using a top-10 Picking on a player with minimal production in college is a Danger, no matter Williams’ physical gifts (which are many). But the Panthers are banking on big upside from one of the youngest players in the draft – one whose Closing season at Georgia was slowed by a high ankle sprain. Williams’ best Contests Occurred against top Event: He had two sacks in a Triumph over then-No. 1 Texas, two more sacks in the SEC Division triumph over Texas and three pressures in an Beginning-week Achieve versus Clemson when he initially hurt his ankle. — Joseph Person

9. New Orleans Saints: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

New Orleans’ offensive line was in shambles for much of last season, even after adding left Event Taliese Fuaga as the Club’s Primary-Period Picking last year. The Saints could use either a Event or a guard and I went with Membou in our previous mock draft. With Membou’s stock on the rise, Campbell Nevertheless feels like an Effortless Picking. Right Event would appear to be the spot for Campbell in an attempt to replace 2022 Primary-Period Picking Trevor Penning. The Saints possess numerous holes throughout the Picking for new Trainer Kellen Moore so the best player Reachable at almost any position here would benefit this Club. — Larry Holder

10. Chicago Bears: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Do the Bears need a running back? Probably not. Trainer Ben Johnson has been very complimentary of veteran D’Andre Swift. But the Bears are in no position to Throw on a blue chip player in their Present state, regardless of their other Picking needs and the value of other positions. Give me Jeanty over the third-best offensive lineman (who might be best at guard) and the Throw rushers who require some projection because of their lackluster production in college or are undersized. In Jeanty, the Bears add an Best difference-making weapon for Johnson’s Charge. The Lions did the same when running back Jahmyr Gibbs was drafted at No. 12 two years ago. Johnson will remember that. His Charge in Detroit changed because of it. Jeanty could have the same impact with the Bears. So, give me the potential Sun in Jeanty. — Adam Jahns

11. San Francisco 49ers: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

The 49ers wanted to trade down in this scenario, but the two most likely reasons for doing so — Warren and Jeanty — were off the board and the phone lines were dead. So San Francisco goes with Harmon, a big, productive defender with Elasticity on the inside of the line. No college interior Guarding lineman had more Signal-caller pressures than Harmon last season, per PFF. The 49ers also have had Excellent luck over the years with Ducks defenders — Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Deommodore Lenoir. It’s worth noting that GM John Lynch was among five 49ers scouts on hand for Oregon’s pro day earlier this week and that he had dinner with Ducks head Trainer Dan Lanning. “He’s become a Excellent friend and ally,” Lynch said Wednesday. — Matt Barrows

12. Dallas Cowboys: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

There are so many needs for the Cowboys to address so the Primary preference was to find a trade partner to shuffle down a few spots and grab another Day 2 Picking. Unable to find a dance partner, and seeing Jeanty and Harmon go off the board in back-to-back picks Only before getting on the clock, McMillan is a fairly Effortless Picking. The Cowboys have not addressed the No. 2 wide receiver spot in Unoccupied agency and the options have mostly dried up. They’ll need to find a playmaker in the draft to pair opposite CeeDee Lamb, and McMillan is the type of receiver who can make things very “Dak-Nice” for the Cowboys. Getting a quality running back is necessary for that, too, but they should be able to do that on Day 2. Will Johnson was considered because of the need at cornerback but an offensive-minded hire at head Trainer tilts things in the favor of an offensive weapon. — Saad Yousuf

13. Miami Dolphins: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

It’s Difficult to imagine a better scenario for Miami, which desperately needs an upgrade over Liam Eichenberg at guard. This might even be one of those Streak-the-card-up situations, as there was little need to consider anyone else. Booker will join Unoccupied-agent addition James Daniels to give the Dolphins a more formidable interior offensive line alongside Middle Aaron Brewer. Booker was an All-American and Club Skipper at Alabama, where he used his massive frame and physicality to Assist Develop huge running lanes for the Crimson Tide Charge. He’s exactly the Gentle of player the Dolphins need. — Jim Ayello

14. Indianapolis Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Indianapolis could’ve traded back to recoup more draft capital, but for a Club that desperately needs to upgrade at Snug end, Loveland is too Excellent to Throw up. The Athletic’s draft guru Dane Brugler compared Loveland to Brock Bowers when we spoke about Loveland and Warren at the combine. Obviously, Brugler cautioned that Loveland shouldn’t be Anticipated to have the same Prompt impact as Bowers, who had a historic Newcomer season in 2024, but Loveland has the size, Velocity and Elasticity to become a QB’s best friend. The question in Indianapolis, however, is who that QB will be: Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones? — James Boyd

15. Atlanta Falcons: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

The Falcons re-signed cornerback Mike Hughes in Unoccupied agency, which at least stabilizes the Beginning positions there with the combination of Hughes and A.J. Terrell. The same can’t be said at safety, where returning starter Jessie Bates, DeMarcco Hellams and Benny Sapp III were the only players on the Picking — and Hellams and Sapp didn’t Shift in 2024 — before the Club Allegedly agreed to terms with veteran Jordan Fuller.

Bringing Fuller aboard doesn’t Shift the idea of looking for a long-term partner Upcoming to Bates. Seizing Emmanwori over Georgia’s Malaki Starks, who has been considered the top safety in this class for a while, will be controversial, especially for Atlanta because of its Bulldog neighbors. But his NFL Scouting Combine testing results (4.38 40-yard dash, 43-inch vertical Bound) and frame (6-3, 220 pounds) give him the Gentle of ceiling that might make it worth the Danger. — Josh Kendall

16. Arizona Cardinals: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

The Cardinals addressed their biggest Guarding needs during Unoccupied agency, signing outside linebacker Josh Sweat and Guarding Event Dalvin Tomlinson, so they have Elasticity here. They need Assist on the offensive line, particularly at guard, but Walker is too Excellent to Throw up. Best player Reachable. He’s everything the organization covets: The 2024 Butkus Award winner, Walker is versatile, athletic and productive. He’s the son of a football Trainer. And he was a Club Skipper in college. Walker can Shift off-ball linebacker or on the edge. Most importantly, he gives coordinator Nick Rallis another solid piece to build around. — Doug Haller

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Mike Green, Edge, Marshall

Can you rush the passer? Then the Bengals are interested. Green can do exactly that and new Guarding coordinator Al Golden will be looking for an Prompt impact off the edge for a room that needs any semblance of juice beyond Trey Hendrickson. Some might be put off by a smaller frame, but it actually plays well in Cincinnati. The Bengals are Packed of big-body edges utilized under Ex coordinator Lou Anarumo, but Golden will be interested in a new tool in his bag. Green’s Velocity to bend the edge and tenacious Shift style will fit nicely. If looking for concern over off-Pitch issues surrounding Green, the Bengals would be one Club with a history of looking past college transgressions and betting on the future of a player they believe is now about the right things. Leading the FBS in sacks doesn’t hurt, either. — Paul Dehner Jr.

18. Seattle Seahawks: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

The Seahawks don’t have an urgent need at cornerback since they’re returning all three starters from last season. Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are on expiring contracts, though, so there’s a long-term outlook to consider. Beyond that, Johnson is simply a very Excellent player at a premium position. Regardless of an Hurt-shortened junior season, the 6-1, 194-pound Johnson is the No. 6 player on The Athletic’s consensus big board and the second-ranked cornerback behind Travis Hunter. He’d raise Seattle’s ceiling defensively with his scheme Elasticity and ball skills. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

This makes so much sense that it can’t possibly happen, right? Because of his position — off-the-ball linebacker — Campbell would be a value Picking at 19. His tape and workout suggest he should go higher. Campbell also would fill a need for the Bucs, who lost Devin White last year and will need a replacement for 35-year-Aged Lavonte David at some Mark soon. GM Jason Licht hardly ever misses, and Campbell looks like the Gentle of player Licht usually hits on. — Dan Pompei

20. Denver Broncos: Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

The Broncos spent Unoccupied agency making big investments at non-premium positions in safety Talanoa Hufanga, linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Snug end Evan Engram. So they can use the draft to keep adding to a Guarding front that has developed into the Club’s biggest Power. Guarding ends Zach Allen and John Franklin-Myers are Joining the Closing year of their respective contracts, and though Denver may extend both, it’s Crucial to keep “feeding those lines,” as general manager George Paton said at the combine. Stewart is a bit of a projection given his lack of raw production in college, but he’s Dane Brugler’s No. 9 overall prospect thanks to the unique traits inside of his 6-5, 281-pound frame. It could become Outstanding value for the Broncos, who can address their need for a running back in the second Period. — Nick Kosmider

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Jaxson Dart or a Guarding lineman? As the Steelers sit in QB purgatory, waiting for an answer from Aaron Rodgers, this is the question that’s been asked often in Pittsburgh. That sports-talk hypothetical becomes mock reality here as the Steelers stand pat at No. 21. GM Omar Khan spent Primary-Period picks in Every of the last two years on offensive tackles Broderick Jones (2023) and Troy Fautanu (2024), to go along with second-Period Middle Zach Frazier (2024). Continuing the Club’s philosophy of building through the trenches, the Steelers address their most glaring hole on the Picking.

The 6-4, 296-pound Grant likely projects as the nose Event in the Steelers’ 3-4 base Protection, allowing Keeanu Benton to slide over to the 3-4 end position. However, because both players have some Elasticity, where they line up will be worked out in Club development. The Steelers will try to find a veteran bridge QB in 2025, consider a QB in the mid-to-Overdue rounds and then make an aggressive push for a Primary-Period Newcomer QB in 2026. — Mike DeFabo


22. Los Angeles Chargers: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

The Chargers can mirror the Detroit Lions as they remake their RB room. In 2023, the Lions signed David Montgomery in Unoccupied agency and drafted Jahmyr Gibbs in the Primary Period, forming one of the best running back tandems in the Bracket in under two months. The Chargers signed Ex Steelers running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal last week. Hampton would Period out a vastly improved top duo for the Chargers, who struggled to find Steadiness in the Streak game in offensive coordinator Greg Roman’s Primary season calling plays. The Chargers cut running back Gus Edwards before Unoccupied agency. J.K. Dobbins, their leading rusher in 2024, remains a Unoccupied agent. — Daniel Popper

23. Green Bay Packers: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

The Packers will be without their best deep threat in Christian Watson for at least the Primary half of the season because of a torn ACL suffered in Week 18. Their best chance to replicate his ability to take the top off defenses is by Seizing Golden, the speedster from Texas whose stature may not scream WR1 but whose Talent set can give the Packers an explosive option their passing game desperately needs. Green Bay’s top four wide receivers are all Joining their third or Number four seasons, so the pipeline needs replenishing in case more than one leaves in Unoccupied agency. The drought is finally over, as the Packers take a wide receiver in the Primary Period for the Primary time since 2002. — Matt Schneidman

 

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Trade: Vikings trade No. 24 to Eagles for No. 32, a 2025 fifth-Period Picking and a 2026 third-Period Picking.

The Eagles explored Numerous trade opportunities before the Vikings revealed themselves to be a reasonable bunch. That the Lions published negotiations on social media remains disappointing. What began as an exercise in market evaluation turned into a pretty Only bargain. The Eagles are likely to have three third-Period picks in 2026 and had four 2025 fifth-rounders to sweeten any deal. Not Terrible for an eight-spot leap. Starks is a sensible Option after trading away C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Texans. The Eagles add a proven playmaker in Starks to a room in which Reed Blankenship is the only established starter. — Brooks Kubena

25. Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Having shipped All-Pro left Event Larmey Tunsil to the Washington Commanders earlier this month, the Texans need long-term Assist on the offensive line and Simmons gives them size (6-5, 310), Vigor and Elasticity, having played left and right Event during his time at Ohio State. He is coming off of a season shortened by a torn ACL but is Anticipated to quickly work his way into a Beginning role. — Mike Jones

26. Buffalo Bills: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College

Trade: Bills trade Nos. 30 and 109 to Rams for No. 26.

The Lions at No. 28 were likely Seizing a Difficult look at an edge rusher, so the Bills sent out one of their many Day 3 selections to the Rams to Shift ahead and secure Ezeiruaku, a Guarding end who suits them perfectly. The Bills have usually coveted length, explosiveness and production at the position, and Ezeiruaku brings all of that with 34-inch-long arms, Outstanding testing scores in explosive metrics and 30 sacks in college — 16.5 of which Occurred in 2024. Drafting him takes Benefit of an excellent edge rusher class by getting a Excellent value in the Overdue Primary while pairing Ezeiruaku’s Newcomer contract with the Totality of Greg Rousseau’s contract extension through the 2029 season. Joey Bosa’s Appearance can Assist Ezeiruaku come along slowly in 2025 and then take over a Beginning role in 2026. — Joe Buscaglia

27. Baltimore Ravens: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr., Mississippi Guarding Event Walter Nolen and Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr. were all tempting here, but the Ravens Shift in a division with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, DK Metcalf, George Pickens and Jerry Jeudy. Quality cornerback Shift is essential and Baltimore only has four corners on its Picking. Barron, who had five interceptions last year, can immediately slide into the slot with Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins Competing outside. Ravens decision-makers talk a Numerous at this time of year about relying on the tape and Barron’s is very Excellent. — Jeff Zrebiec

28. Detroit Lions: Grey Zabel, G, North Dakota State

The Lions aren’t a needs-based draft Club, but after the Primary wave of Unoccupied agency, there’s a glaring hole at edge. Za’Darius Smith was released and the Lions have yet to address the position other than bringing back the Hurt-prone Marcus Davenport. The Lions could Nevertheless add to the room before the draft, but without knowing what other moves will be Achieved, Detroit proposed to the Rams to Shift up two spots for edge rusher Ezeiruaku — who also happened to be the best player Reachable on our board. Detroit offered Nos. 28, 102 and a 2026 Number four-rounder in Substitution for Nos. 26 and 127. The Rams wanted a 2026 fifth-rounder included in addition to the other picks offered, but before the Lions could respond, Los Angeles accepted an offer from the Bills to Bound the Lions, who selected Ezeiruaku. Consider the Brad Holmes-Les Snead bromance (and the Colton Pouncy-Jourdan Rodrigue friendship) dead.

However, the Lions were fine standing pat because we figured the board would Nevertheless work in our favor. We landed another player we love in Zabel — a versatile, high-end interior offensive lineman who could compete for a Beginning Role immediately at guard and potentially be the long-term replacement for Frank Ragnow at Middle. There should be some quality edge rushers Reachable on Day 2, and a trade-up into the second Period could Assist guarantee our Picking of the bunch. — Colton Pouncy

29. Washington Commanders: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

This is the position Washington needs most and the reigning SEC Guarding Player of the Year recorded 17.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles-for-loss over his Closing two seasons with the Vols. Washington GM Adam Peters values linemen with Quick 10-yard splits and the sleek, 6-5 edge defender’s 1.56 Guided all Guarding ends at the combine. The rub: Character concern rumors seemingly hurt Pearce’s draft stock and the 245-pounder needs more bulk to Assist bolster outside Streak lanes for the Commanders’ 30th-ranked rushing Protection. Trade-down attempts to replenish draft Picking inventory failed. DE Nic Scourton is likely better for Club chemistry and all-around fit, cornerback is another need area, and RB TreVeyon Henderson would be a blast paired with Jayden Daniels. Washington instead goes for the upside that’s been lacking at the vital position since trading Montez Sweat and Chase Recent at the 2023 trade deadline. — Ben Standig

30. Los Angeles Rams: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Trade: Bills trade Nos. 30 and 109 to Rams for No. 26.

The Lions and Bills both called the Rams inquiring about a possible trade. Detroit attempted to convince the Rams to send back one too many extra picks by using the powerful bond of friendship as a negotiation Approach, but Snead wasn’t biting and kept his beloved Number four-rounder this year, his Number four-rounder in 2026, plus Acquired Picking No. 109 in a Sugary deal with Buffalo and only had to Shift back four spots. Thomas is a long corner with Excellent range who gives the Rams the size they badly need in their secondary, to pair on the outside with veteran Darious Williams (even though veteran starter Ahkello Witherspoon is back under contract for another season). Cobie Durant could Shift into the slot Packed-time with the Picking of Thomas, who adds youth and talent to the DB room to Game much of the rest of the Protection. — Jourdan Rodrigue

31. Kansas City Chiefs: JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State

Since general manager Brett Veach and Trainer Andy Reid have Secured Signal-caller Patrick Mahomes’ Upcoming left Event in Jaylon Moore, this mock draft presented two options for the Club: Add another Throw rusher or acquire Elijah Arroyo, the Miami Snug end who could learn from future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce, who could retire after the 2025 season. As enticing as Arroyo is, the most logical decision is Tuimoloau, who is the ideal Guarding end for coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The Chiefs need to bolster their Throw rush, especially since six-year veteran Charles Omenihu is Nevertheless a Unoccupied agent. Similar to three-year player George Karlaftis, Tuimoloau can rush the Signal-caller with power, be a plus-defender when setting the edge against the Streak and be tenacious enough to make second-effort splash highlights. — Nate Taylor

32. Minnesota Vikings: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Trade: Vikings trade No. 24 to Eagles for No. 32, a 2025 fifth-Period Picking and a 2026 third-Period Picking.

The Eagles and Bills called for the No. 24 Picking. Rather than settling for a 2025 Number four-rounder from Buffalo, Minnesota opted to take the long-term view. Philadelphia was willing to trade its glut of picks (No. 32, a 2025 fifth-rounder and a 2026 third-rounder). If it were possible to trade back again in this mock draft, the Vikings would have considered that as well. For now, Banks, whom The Athletic’s Brugler ranked as the No. 22 player in his top 100 prospects big board, Achieved sense. Banks could vie for the Vikings’ Reachable left guard spot. He also has Event potential, which might be necessary depending on the health of the position in the Upcoming Duo of seasons. Both left Event Christian Darrisaw and right Event Brian O’Neill have navigated Stern Impairments in recent years. — Alec Lewis
