INDIANAPOLIS — If you were starting a team from scratch, you would almost certainly try to find a quarterback first and foremost. But after that, where do you go next? We posed that question to 42 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft in our NFL Combine Survey. When I asked them which non-quarterback would they build a team around, 41 of them replied and 25 different names were dished out, showing the depth of star talent in the NFL. While several names were mentioned, there was one player who clearly stood above the rest: Myles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns’ star edge rusher received 10 votes in our questionnaire, which was seven more than any other player. Of course, Garrett is coming off a historic season, recording 23 sacks to break the single-season record. As a result, Garrett won his second Defensive Player of the Year award, doing so in unanimous fashion. A year ago, the runaway winner was Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, coming off a 2,000-yard season, but this time Barkley drew just a single vote. Instead, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs received the most votes at the position, with his three votes also finishing second to Garrett. Gibbs rushed for 1,223 yards on five yards per carry this past season, adding 616 receiving yards as he scored 18 total touchdowns. Gibbs’ three votes were one more than two other dual-threat running backs in the San Francisco 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey and the Atlanta Falcons’ Bijan Robinson. Robinson and McCaffrey were first and second, respectively, in scrimmage yards in 2025, with the latter also winning Comeback Player of the Year. Two other edge rushers also got two votes in the Las Vegas Raiders’ Maxx Crosby and the Green Bay Packers’ Micah Parsons. Crosby recorded 10 sacks in 2025, marking the third time in four seasons he’s hit that mark. As for Parsons, he had 12.5 sacks in 14 games before tearing his ACL this past season. Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was the only other player to receive multiple votes. The 2022 Offensive Player of the Year winner had a relatively quieter season in 2025, but he still finished with 1,048 receiving yards despite having subpar quarterback play. As for the one player who didn’t answer the question, he simply said he wasn’t sure who he’d pick. Here are the full results. RESULTS: Myles Garrett, edge rusher, Browns: 10 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions: 3 Maxx Crosby, edge rusher, Raiders: 2 Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings: 2 Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers: 2 Micah Parsons, edge rusher, Packers: 2 Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons: 2 (Players that received one vote: Saquon Barkley, RB, Eagles; Derrick Brown, DT, Panthers; Calen Bullock, S, Texans; Jalen Carter, DL, Eagles; Nick Emmonwori, DB, Seahawks; Jaycee Horn, CB, Panthers; Creed Humphrey, C, Chiefs; Aidan Hutchinson, edge rusher, Lions; Lane Johnson, OT, Eagles; Chris Jones, DT, Chiefs; George Kittle, TE, 49ers; Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks; Penei Sewell, T, Lions; Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks; Bobby Wagner, LB, Commander; Kenneth Walker, RB, Seahawks; Jameson Williams, WR, Lions; Quinnen Williams, DL, Cowboys)Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Team USA is bringing its best roster, the Dominican Republic is once again oozing with talent and Venezuela’s lineup can contend with anyone, but until proven otherwise, Japan still sits on the throne as the kings of international competition. Japan has dominated the World Baseball Classic unlike any other country, winning the tournament in three of its five editions, and the group again looks fully capable of defending its standing. In 2023, Japan stormed back in the late innings to triumph over Mexico in a semifinal walk-off win before holding off Team USA in the finals when WBC MVP Shohei Ohtani struck out Mike Trout in an epic at-bat to take back the title. Ohtani won’t have the chance to do that again in 2026, as he’ll only be hitting this time around. That’s a tough blow to a Samurai Japan pitching staff that will be without four of the five pitchers who started games in the 2023 WBC, but they’ll still have Yoshinobu Yamamoto as their ace fresh off earning World Series MVP honors, plus two more MLB starters in Yusei Kikuchi and Tomoyuki Sagano and reigning Sawamura Award winner Hiromi Itoh. Any questions about the rotation are mitigated by the depth of a lineup that bullied the competition while going undefeated in 2023. Ohtani will once again spearhead a Japan offense that outscored its pool-play opponents by 30 runs in the last WBC and finished the tournament with the highest OPS of any team that made it out of the knockout round. Now, Seiya Suzuki will be joining the group coming off a 32-homer season with the Cubs after missing the 2023 competition due to injury. He’ll be among five MLB position players on the roster, a group that includes Ohtani, Masataka Yoshida and incoming NPB standouts Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto. Manager Hirokazu Ibata will have plenty of lineup iterations to choose from — there’s so much established NPB talent in place that it might be hard to find regular at-bats for Teruaki Sato, who hit 40 home runs last year while being named Central League MVP — but here’s one option that could maximize Japan’s offensive capabilities as it attempts to defend its crown: Lineup So, how would that look defensively? Outfield: LF: Masataka YoshidaCF: Seiya Suzuki RF: Kensuke Kondo The safer move would be putting Shota Morishito in center flanked by Yoshida in left and Suzuki in right, but there have already been rumblings leading into the competition of Japan potentially using Suzuki in center. While that carries some disaster potential defensively (especially with Yoshida in left), it would also be the most powerful offensive configuration and allow Team Japan to keep the bats of both Yoshida and Kondo in the lineup. Yoshida hit .409 with a team-high 13 RBI in the 2023 tournament, while Kondo hit .346 with a 1.115 OPS. Kondo has had an OPS over .900 in each of his last three seasons in NPB. Infield: 1B: Munetaka Murakami 2B: Shugo Maki SS: Kaito Kozono 3B: Kazuma Okamoto C: Seishiro Sakamoto DH: Shohei Ohtani MLB fans have more of a reason to watch Japan with a closer eye now that Murakami will be joining the White Sox and Okamoto will be playing for the Blue Jays in 2026. Murakami famously hit 56 home runs as a 22-year-old in 2022 and averaged more than 30 home runs per season over his eight-year NPB career. Okamoto also brings power — he hit at least 30 home runs every season from 2018-23 with the Yomiuri Giants — with less of a strikeout risk, coming off a 2025 NPB campaign in which he slashed .327/.416/.598 with as many walks as strikeouts. Kozono won the Central League batting title last season, hitting .309 in a career year with the Hiroshima Carp. Maki played on the 2023 tournament team and has recorded an OPS of at least .800 in each of his five NPB seasons. At catcher, expect Yamamoto’s former Orix Buffaloes teammate Kenya Wakatsuki to be behind the plate when he starts. Otherwise, Sakamoto might get the majority of the time coming off his best offensive season in years. That’s all before getting to Ohtani, who needs little explanation coming off back-to-back 50-homer seasons with the Dodgers and a dominant showing in the last WBC. Rotation RHP Yoshinobu YamamotoLHP Yusei KikuchiRHP Hiromi Itoh RHP Tomoyuki Sugano Yamamoto struck out 12 batters in 7.1 innings in the 2023 tournament and demonstrated his ability to rise to the biggest occasions during the 2025 MLB playoffs. He threw complete games in Game 2 of the NLCS and Game 2 of the World Series, and after earning the win in Game 6 of the Fall Classic to keep the Dodgers’ season alive, he emerged in relief one day later to seal a championship in relief. Unfortunately for Japan, he can’t start every game of the WBC. Instead, he’ll be the ace of a pitching staff that isn’t quite as daunting as the 2023 group. Kikuchi was an All-Star for the Angels in 2025 and had an ERA a tick under 4.00 but surrendered more hits than any pitcher in the American League. Sugano registered a 4.64 ERA for the Orioles and surrendered an American League-leading 33 home runs. There’s still plenty of talented arms behind that trio, however, including reigning Sawamura Award winner Hiromi Itoh, who made three scoreless relief outings in the 2023 tournament. Also worth keeping an eye on: New Astros pitcher Tatsuya Imai, who’s coming off a career year in NPB, is not on the initial roster but is part of the designated pitcher pool and could be added in later rounds if (when) Japan advances. Bullpen RHP Shoma Fujihira RHP Koki KitayamaLHP Yuki Matsui RHP Yuki Matsumoto LHP Hiroya MiyagiRHP Taisei OtaLHP Ryuhei SotaniLHP Chihiro SumidaRHP Hiroto TakahashiRHP Atsuki Taneichi Many of Japan’s relief arms are actually standout starters in NPB and can provide length if needed. Kitayama ranked third in ERA (1.63) and Taneichi ranked fifth in strikeouts (161 in 160.2 innings) among qualified NPB pitchers last year. Takahashi, Sumida and Miyagi, a holdover from the 2023 championship team who ranked third in NPB in strikeout rate last year, all threw at least 150-plus innings with a sub-3.00 ERA last season. Ota made four scoreless relief outings for Japan in the last WBC. Matsui is the lone MLB pitcher of the group, but his status is in question as he deals with a groin injury.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
Nearly five decades into a Hall of Fame career, there aren’t many nights that qualify as unfamiliar territory for Rick Pitino. His résumé includes seven Final Fours and two national titles. Now at St. John’s, he’s far more accustomed to making history than enduring it. But a 72-40 loss to UConn on Wednesday night was the wrong kind of milestone for Pitino. The team’s 32-point defeat was the second-largest loss Pitino has suffered as the head coach of an AP-ranked team and the most lopsided setback of his three seasons at St. John’s. With the loss, the Red Storm slipped to the third No. 5 seed in FOX Sports bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA Tournament projections. [COLLEGE HOOPS: Takeaways From UConn’s Win Over St. John’s] The Red Storm weren’t alone.

We have tragic news to report from the world of reality TV today.
Robert Cosby Jr. — the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby — has passed away.
He was just 23 years old.
News of Robert’s death comes courtesy of a Salt Lake City Police Department report obtained by TMZ.
A spokesperson tells the outlet they responded Monday night to a call for a “full arrest/medical emergency.”
Robert’s cause of death has not been revealed, but police say they responded to a call for an overdose and found that the victim had already passed away when they arrived.
“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace,” Mary said in a statement.
“We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”
News of Robert’s passing comes just two months after his wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce.
Alexiana filed back in November, while Robert was briefly in jail for allegedly violating her restraining order against him.
Paperwork obtained by People stipulated that Robert would not be allowed to “harass, intimidate or disturb the peace of the other party, by any means, including electronically commit domestic violence or abuse against the other party or a child, use the other party’s name, likeness, image, or identification to get credit, open an account for service, or obtain a service, cancel or interfere with telephone, utility, or other services used by the other party, cancel, modify, terminate, change the beneficiary.”
He was taken into custody after allegedly violating a temporary pretrial protective order.
“Today Robert Cosby took responsibility for the mistakes he has made and the pain he has caused his ex-wife and her family,” Robert’s attorney Clayton Simms said at the time.
“Robert was slow to recognize that his marriage was over. He continued to make contact with his ex-wife in an effort to reconcile. He now realizes that the relationship is over and he must move on.”
Obviously, details are scarce at the moment, but this is an unspeakable tragedy for one of Bravo’s most beloved families.
Our thoughts go out to Robert’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Almost everyone misses him dearly.
In the wake of Eric Dane’s tragic passing, countless former colleagues have paid tribute to the late actor.
One former background actress from Grey’s Anatomy, however, remembers a very different man.
Accusing him of playing a role in the downfall of her career, she’s calling Dane “a bully and an a-hole.”
Not everyone feels the same about the late actor
Laura Ann Tull wrote on Threads, the Meta-owned attempt to replace Twitter after the latter’s fall, in response to reports on Dane’s passing.
Responding to Variety, Tull condemned the late actor as a man who “was a bully and an a-hole.”
This is not a popular sentiment in any sense.
Her dislike of the late actor stems from when the two both appeared on Grey’s Anatomy.
He was prominently introduced as McSteamy, where Tull was a background actress — an extra. She worked on the show, she says, for about three years.
“He was a coward who abused me,” Tull announced in a series of posts. “Bullied me. Made fun of me.”
Naturally, she received a not-insignificant amount of pushback from other denizens of Threads.
“He just died,” Tull acknowledged. “I only wish he’d apologized & admitted what he did.”
What did he do?
According to Tull, Dane interfered with her ability to work, possibly getting her let go from Grey’s Anatomy. This, she says, upended her career.
Did she get him ‘fired’ from his most famous job?
Tull acknowledged that Dane had passed away — but was unwilling to walk back her words or sentiments.
“His dying doesn’t change [the] destruction he caused me,” she wrote in one post.
Tull revealed that she had, at one time, intended to pursue legal action against him.
She also alleged that she is the reason “why he was fired from Grey’s.”
If there is any evidence of this, she did not provide it. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, Dane’s 2012 departure was due to a combination of budgetary and creative choices.
To be entirely honest, parts of Tull’s thread of posts are a little difficult to follow.
It sounds like she believes that Dane spoke ill of her behind her back, doing lasting harm to her reputation on set and then to her career.
Tull has been talking about this for years.
She apparently received the label “weird” on set and blamed Dane for it.
However, she has admitted that she and Dane never spoke directly to each other.
How could one person remember the man so differently than everyone else?
It is possible that Tull’s impressions of Dane are factual. If so, it is possible that she is not the only person who had an issue with the actor, but that others have kept quiet.
(Dane, incidentally, has acknowledged that he struggled with prescription medication around that time.)
We can also consider that Tull — who by her own admission never spoke to the man — may have perceived him as an enemy, and (perhaps through misinformation told to her by third parties) allowed this belief to fester over time, but in error.
Unfortunately, we can neither prove nor disprove Tull’s account. It seems unlike that anyone from the series is going to back her up — but we would be interested if one of his former co-stars chooses to suprise us.
Some people die and are unfairly lionized by people who either did not know them, have bad intention, or both. But it is also possible for a kind person to die and be condemned.
It seems unlikely that Tull or Dane’s loved ones are going to be able to reconcile their views of Dane. Probably best if they do not try.
