The tour mostly featured youth and fringe players, but the likes of Gravenberch, Isak, and Wirtz got a few minutes toward the end. Last time out was a tale of two halves, with Liverpool largely in control in the firsthelped massively with the likes of Isak and Wirtz on the pitchbefore the wheels completely came off in the second, giving Liverpool supporters PTSD flashbacks to last season. You know, just in case we missed conceding goals from long throws. Now, back on Brexit Island, Liverpool start preparing to kick a ball in anger, with the first Premier League match just 2 weeks away. Presumably we should see a few more first teamers in the mix (margin of error +/- Curtis Jones).

After the San Francisco 49ers scooped up Deebo Samuel when they learned Ricky Pearsall would be out for the season, the Washington Commanders realized they couldn't waste any more time waiting to see if their current stock of receivers would be sufficient for the 2026 season. Instead, they sought out one of the top remaining free agent wide receivers and brought Stefon Diggs into the fold.Diggs joined the Commanders at training camp shortly after his signing, and quarterback Jayden Daniels told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Brian Baldinger that he is already excited about his new receiver.Jayden Daniels is already a fan of his new receiver Stefon Diggs @MikeGarafolo | @BaldyNFL | @Commanderspic.twitter.com/r8motsmF6q NFL Network (@nflnetwork) August 8, 2026Daniels is asked about his relationship with Diggs and if he can read Diggs' body language. "100%, I think he does a great job of being definitive on his routes. Very much is friendly when he comes out of the top of his routes. Great hands, I mean, he catches everything. He's super smart; he knows cover, he's not going to run the route to get covered. We kinda hit that earlier today in practice; we didn't really talk about it too much, but it's just two people being on the same page and be able to know football and read coverage. It worked out that way."Diggs, like fellow Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin, is a fantastic receiver. He rarely drops the ball, and he's had just one season truly marred by injury. He's got a few more years in the league than McLaurin, but for Daniels to have both players at his disposal is going to make the Commanders' offense incredibly dangerous in 2026.The biggest question surrounding Diggs right now is whether or not he can handle being WR2. He said initially that he plans to be the best WR2 in the league, but later said that, in his heart, he still views himself as WR1. So, it sounds like he might be accepting of the WR2 role, but also has designs on taking that role from McLaurin. It's going to be a fun competition to watch, and when the team hits the field for the first regular season game next month, we'll see just how that competition played out.This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: What are Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' early impressions of WR Stefon Diggs?

STILLWATER Drew Mestemaker remembers the day then-North Texas coach Eric Morris dispatched his quarterbacks coach to a Dallas-Fort Worth gym to watch him throw for the first time.Mestemaker remembers everything Sean Brophy said during that workout, too.Nada.Coach Brophy just stood in the back of the gym, Mestemaker said. He didnt come up and ask me to do anything.He chuckled.It was literally 30 minutes, and then Brophy walked out.More: Why Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris has labeled Cowboys as team of 'misfits'Mestemaker, still a couple years away from leading the nation in passing at North Texas, then transferring to Oklahoma State where he reportedly has one of the biggest NIL paydays in college football, was left staring quizzically at Christensen.What what did he say? Mestemaker asked.Youre good, Christensen assured. Theyll give you a call.Whatre you talking about?The guy whod watched him throw for half an hour, then walked out without so much as a word was going to call? Mestemaker had serious doubts, figuring hed never heard back from Brophy, Morris or North Texas.But Saturday morning as Mestemaker sat behind a table at OSUs media day wearing his No. 17 in Cowboy orange, it was another reminder of Mestemakers unbelievable story. The quarterback who didnt start a single varsity game in high school became one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in two seasons at North Texas and is now the face of hope for OSU football.Fittingly, a program trying to resurrect itself has a quarterback who refused to die.Its difficult to say whats more unbelievable that Morris and Co. decided to take a chance on Mestemaker or that Mestemaker believed he deserved a chance.A quick review: Mestemaker played his high school football at Vandegrift on the northwest side of Austin, but he didnt start a single game at quarterback for the varsity. Didnt start one for the junior varsity either. Even as a freshman, he didnt start for the top freshmen team.His only starts in high school were for Vandegrifts freshmen B team.Oh, Mestemaker played varsity football, but only after deciding to play safety and punter as a senior.And yet, he still wanted to play quarterback in college.I feel like every no made me want to do it that much more, he said.So he went to camps. Contacted colleges. Worked out for recruiters.Hed feel like he did well. Theyd say theyd be in touch.And nothing.But even as the summer after his senior season fast approached, Mestemaker wasnt giving up hope. He kept going to camps, contacting recruiters and working out, even deciding to move from Austin to the Metroplex to work with Christensen.More: Oklahoma State football practice opens with new era, energy under Eric MorrisWas it audacious for Mestemaker to think he could play in college even though he hadnt started in high school?Probably.But Mestemaker says he refused to cash out.I couldnt put all that work in and then just because of a few nos throw it all away and feel sorry for myself, he said. It definitely felt like punch in the gut after punch in the gut Dang, am I ever going to get my opportunity? but I just felt like one day it would come around.Honestly, I was just looking for anyone to give me an opportunity.Morris, Brophy and North Texas became that someone.After finishing his workout for Brophy that spring day two years ago, Mestemaker left the gym but found the quarterbacks coach in the parking lot. Brophy had nothing but praise for Mestemaker.Wed love to get you on campus, but we dont have a spot for you, the quarterback remembers the coach saying. Well give you a call in a week.Mestemakers first thought?Riiiiiight.But a week later, Brophy and Morris called and offered Mestemaker a walk-on spot.What had they seen in him?Even though Mestemaker doesnt remember Morris seeing him throw in person until after he had joined the team, Morris saw the same things in Mestemaker that Brophy had reported back about.Just super polished as a passer, Morris said. There was zero wasted movement in his throwing motion, which is something we look for.Morris, widely regarded as one of college footballs quarterback whisperers, has a philosophy about tweaking mechanics. Because college quarterbacks have been playing for so long and their throwing motion is so ingrained, Morris doesnt tweak upper-body mechanics. He might try to speed up certain things or fine-tune lower-body motions to work with what is happening from the waist up.Wholesale change to upper-body mechanics, though, is a no.So having good ones is crucial.More: Oklahoma State football opens fall practice with these key position battlesDrew was as good as anybody Id seen just as far as some of those mechanics, Morris said.Now, the one thing we didnt know and so obviously I dont take credit for this as much is, we didnt know how smart he was, how well he retained information, how well he processed when the bullets were flying, Morris added.But Mestemaker quickly showed himself capable in that regard, too, and he went from walk-on to backup quarterback that first fall at North Texas. Then after starter Chandler Morris entered the transfer portal, Mestemaker made his first start since freshman B team in the Mean Greens bowl game.All he did that day was account for 448 yards of total offense.Last season was more of the same. A lot more. And now with Mestemaker having followed Morris to Stillwater, Cowboys everywhere are hopeful of a Mestemaker repeat and an OSU resurrection.Mestemaker knows this feels like a script Hollywood would reject because its just too unbelievable.Whenever I showed up at North Texas, he said, I was just trying to make the travel roster.Hes done way more than that.It took Morris and Co. believing in him, but it took Mestemaker believing, too.I knew I couldnt let that opportunity slip, he said. I always had the belief in myself that once I got the opportunity, I could make the most of it.Jenni Carlson: Jenni can be reached at jcarlson@oklahoman.com.
