OCT 25 GARRETT IN THE NBA Texas A&M star Myles Garrett has reached another level of stardom in the NFL with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And now, he's taking his talents to the NBA... kinda.
On Wednesday, the Cavaliers announced that Garrett had become a minority owner in the team.
Garrett always joked about making it in the NBA, and now, he at least gets to be involved.
OCT 22 GARRETT BLOCKS FG Texas A&M Aggies legend Myles Garrett is a certified athletic freak.
And on Sunday, he showed why once again, leaping over the Indianapolis Colts offensive line to block a field goal.
Garrett has been. apart of arguably the best defense in the NFL this season, and is responsible for 5.5 sacks, three stuffs, and a forced fumble.
OCT 10 MOND SIGNS The Indianapolis Colts have signed former Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond to the practice squad, following the injury to starter Anthony Richardson.
Mond will be the third-string quarterback behind interim starter Gardner Minshew and former Texas Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger.
Richardson could miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury that Colts, which was confirmed by coach Shane Steichen.
"He will miss some time," Steichen said. "How much time? I don't know that right now and that's all I've got on that situation."
Originally a third-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, Mond has played in one game in his NFL Career, completing 2 of 3 passes for five yards.
OCT 8 ACHANE TD De'Von Achane is quickly becoming a standout player for the Miami Dolphins, as the Aggies running back found the endzone again, as he broke free on a 76-yard rushing touchdown to give his team a 14-0 lead over the New York Giants.
The 76-yard touchdown is the longest run of the season so far for Achane as he continues to establish himself as the new No. 1 running back in Miami.
OCT 1 ACHANE GOES NUTS.... AGAIN Former Texas A&M Aggies star De'Von Achane exploded onto the scene last week, racking up four touchdowns and over 200 yards rushing against the Denver Broncos.
Achane continued that success against the Bills on Sunday, adding two more touchdowns.
Achane finished the day with eight carries for 108 yards and the two scores, as well as five catches for 19 yards.
SEPT 27 MATTHEWS MONEY MOVES The Falcons have just worked and finished the restructuring of Jake Matthews' contract in a way that creates about $7 million in 2023 cap room. That figures to give Atlanta about $10 million now ... so, what's it for?
This is likely a "flip-of-the-switch'' change that doesn't truly alter the amount of money due the standout lineman. And of course, this can be about money available in future years, and not just this one. It would be slightly unconventional for a team to make this move in clear advance of a trade; generally the two transactions would go hand-in-hand.
But this bears watching as the Falcons at 2-1 consider themselves contenders ... and could understandably be looking to upgrade the roster.
SEPT 26 NEW NAME ACHANE Miami Dolphins and Texas A&M Aggies running back De'Von Achane wants a new pronunciation of his name.
He let the Dolphins' public relations staff and members of the media that he wants his last name pronounced A-CHAN instead of A-CHAIN — how some have pronounced it. His first name, he reminded people, is pronounced "De-Von" instead of "Devon."
This is the second time Achane has clarified how he wants his name to be represented. Earlier in the preseason, Achane added an apostrophe after the E and capitalized the V in his first name.
One thing has remained consistent with Achane from his time at Texas A&M to now in the NFL: his dominance with the ball in his hands.
Achane had his coming-out party against the Denver Broncos Sunday in which he ran for 203 yards and two touchdowns, while grabbing four passes for 30 yards and another two scores.
The Missouri City, Texas, native was a huge part in Miami's historic win against the Denver Broncos, where it posted the most points in an NFL game since 1966. The Dolphins' 70 points are the third-most in an NFL game in history and the second-most in a regular season game.
In Achane's debut last week against the New England Patriots, he ran for five yards and caught a pass for four after being inactive Week 1.
It's no secret what Achane is capable of, as he put that on display in Aggieland for three years. He ran for the 16th-most yards and the second-most yards per carry with at least 200 carries in program history.
