3. QB Terrelle Pryor working out for Chiefs

By Adam Teicher - ESPN.com

"Former NFL quarterback Terrelle Pryor is working out for the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Pro Football Talk.

Stranger things have happened than the Chiefs signing Pryor, but it's difficult to see it eventually happening.

"Quarterback Jameis Winston won't be back in a Florida State uniform next season, instead opting to enter the NFL draft.

Winston confirmed the decision in a statement issued late Wednesday morning by The Legacy Agency, which will represent him. Winston's father, Antonor Winston, had told ESPN earlier Wednesday that his son had decided to enter the draft after initially planning to announce the decision after Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T."    READ MORE…

5. Ravens are a threat to Patriots

By Mike Sando - ESPN.com

"It's no shock that the Baltimore Ravens are seven-point underdogs in their divisional playoff game at New England. They are 2-6 overall and 1-4 on the road against teams that finished the season with winning records. Baltimore did knock off the 11-5 Pittsburgh Steelers during the wild-card round, but there's no question New England was the better team in 2014.

However, there are still some reasons to like the Ravens as an upset pick over the Patriots and as a potential long-shot Super Bowl contender. Joe Flacco has improbably outperformed Tom Brady in playoff games since entering the league in 2008. His life is easier within the context of new coordinator Gary Kubiak's offense. The Ravens' defense, while flawed in the secondary, can stop the run and rush the passer, which gives them the ability to make an opponent one-dimensional."    READ MORE…
