The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Johnson had the second-lowest opposing passer rating of all BCS cornerbacks according to Pro Football Focus and didn’t allow a touchdown all year. The Panthers haven’t had a top-five pick since 2011, when they took Cam Newton first overall. They’ve gone offense in the first round three straight years and Johnson gives secondary coach DeAngelo Hall an elite young corner. (WIVB) — Three homes on 20th Street in Niagara Falls were damaged following an explosion and house fire on Wednesday night, according to officials from National Fuel. A massive explosion in Northern California on Wednesday that destroyed a home and several vehicles was caused by three kids playing with fire in a backyard, officials said. Fire investigators are still working to determine what caused the explosion, which levelled the nearly 6,400 square-foot home, but noted they are specifically looking at the structure's natural gas lines.
3NFL player remembers father as ‘legend’ after deadly house explosion
At his camp, he's a hands-on coach, showing off the old quarterback skills and giving the kids lessons in defensive technique from an NFL cornerback. Farley spoke to WCNC Charlotte's sports director Nick Carboni in July when he returned to the Charlotte area to host his second-annual youth football camp, offered for free. Over 100 kids showed up to participate in Farley's football camp. Below is that July interview Carboni did with Farley before the death of his father. In January 2018, his mother Robin Farley died after a long battle with breast cancer.
Investigators determine cause of Mooresville house explosion that killed NFL player’s father
“We’re looking into an issue of natural gas, but the investigation is ongoing,” Kent Greene, the director of fire services and emergency management, told reporters. A man has been arrested and accused of intentionally causing a natural gas explosion that destroyed his house and damaged other homes near Fort Worth in 2022, Westworth Village police said Tuesday. The Falcons’ last four first-round picks have been on the offensive side of the ball – Kyle Pitts in 2021, Drake London in 2022, Bijan Robinson in 2023 and Michael Penix Jr. this year. They haven’t taken an EDGE since 2017 with Takkarist McKinley, who’s no longer in the league, and they haven’t had anybody with double-digit sacks since Vic Beasley way back in 2016. Their leading sack producer this past year was 37-year-old Calais Campbell. So they desperately need pass rush, and Perkins has that rare ability to convert speed to power at the power of attack.
Tennessee Titans: Jarvis Brownleee Jr., CB, Louisville
Vrabel said that the team will do everything possible to support him. He certainly gets high marks for loyalty, returning for his fourth season after he effectively was ignored the past two seasons. Blame the play-caller, offensive stagnation, the quarterbacks and/or the player, but he’s never caught more than the 27 receptions he recorded as a freshman in 2021.

Dominion Energy, which serves the home, said in a statement to Channel 9 last week that it had representatives among the first responders who showed up after the explosion. Caleb Farley, 24, was not home at the time of the explosion, according to the New York Post. Photos from the scene show the house reduced to little more than splinters and rubble, with only a pair of windows seemingly escaping the destruction. Photos of the house show piles of rubble scattered across a large plot of land about 28 miles north of Charlotte. The fire marshal's office is continuing to investigate the cause of the collapse along with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Dominion Energy and the U.S.
The Iredell County Fire Marshal’s Office has finished its investigation into last week’s explosion and any further investigations will be conducted by the owner’s insurance provider. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, but Greene said gas must have accumulated over a long period and likely found its way to an ignition source. Rogers, described by Greene as a friend of the family, was transported to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte with a concussion. He is awake and alert, Greene said, but has not yet been discharged. Farley, who is a native of Maiden, North Carolina, was drafted with the No. 22 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
The 2024 draft just concluded so here's a way-too-early 2025 mock draft from NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank.
He’s 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, but has the frame to add some muscle heading into the NFL. Hancock is sticky in coverage and just needs to get bigger and stronger. We have him as the Steelers’ first first-round corner since Artie Burns back in 2016.
Explosion, fire damages 3 homes in Niagara Falls
With Pitt football approaching a season full of more uncertainty than any in coach Pat Narduzzi’s 10 seasons, it only makes sense to invite additional speculation. Especially when the event in question won’t occur for another 12 months. Aaron Rodgers has to retire sometime and the Jets go QB in the first round for the third time in eight years (Sam Darnold third in 2018, Zach Wilson second in 2023). The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Milroe showed tremendous growth during the 2023 season and with another year of experience and seasoning could be a big-time prospect in 2025.

He isn’t Kelce, but at 6-foot-5, 245 pounds with boundless speed and athleticism, he would make a worthy successor. Transfer from San Diego State, Simmons last year replaced left tackle Paris Johnson, who the Cards drafted sixth overall in 2023 and started all 17 games for the Cards as a rookie. Simmons had played right tackle at San Diego State but grew into the left tackle spot as the year went on and one more full year on the left side should cement Simmons’ status as a first-rounder in 2025.
Alabama only had one first-round quarterback between Joe Namath and Tua Tagovailoa (Richard Todd in 1976) but Milroe would be four in six years (Tua, Mac Jones, Bryce Young, Milroe). Matthew Stafford turns 37 soon after this season ends and is going into his 16th NFL season, and although Stafford says he isn’t thinking about retirement, the Rams need to start thinking about a succession plan. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Ward began his college career at Incarnate Word in San Antonio and had a huge 2021 season, with nearly 5,000 passing yards, 47 TD passes and 10 INTs. He spent the last two years at Washington State (48 TDs, 16 INTs) and will play this coming season in Coral Gables. Kyler Murray is going into his sixth year, has had one winning season and hasn’t won a playoff game. Arch Manning is waiting in the wings, but if Ewers stays healthy he could have a huge season in 2024.
Another corner comes off the board in Morrison, a very productive defender who already has nine interceptions in 20 games for the Fighting Irish. The 6-foot-5, 185-pound Morrison isn’t the biggest guy, but his ball skills are off the charts. Morrison missed much of spring practice after getting his right shoulder scoped, so that’s something to keep an eye on, but he’s expected back by the start of the Buckeyes’ 2024 season. According to Iredell County deputies, there was a strong smell of natural gas on the property. However, officials have not officially determined what caused the explosion, and an investigation is still underway. He played in 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, collecting 14 tackles.
The house is on a large plot of land about 28 miles north of Charlotte. County property records list the assessed value of the home as nearly $2 million. Robert M. Farley was found dead in the debris of the Lake Norman, North Carolina, house Tuesday morning, said Kent Greene, director of Iredell County Fire Services and Emergency Management. Robert Farley was on a video call with a friend when the explosion happened, and the friend, who thought Farley had dropped the phone at first, could not get back in touch with him, Greene said by telephone on Wednesday. “I think what’s important is that we do everything that we can to support Caleb, his family, and do everything that we can to be there for him,” Vrabel told reporters Tuesday.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton says he's confident his contract situation with the team will be resolved "soon." Titans coach Mike Vrabel called the situation "shocking" and said that the team will do everything possible to support Farley. "I know he lost his mother at a young age as well," Titans safety Kevin Byard said of his teammate. "He's dealt with a lot of adversity. It's very tragic. It's an unimaginable tragedy." Greene said it wasn't yet clear who might be liable for the explosion as multiple agencies probed its cause. The gas meter used to measure the volume of fuel gases flowing into nearby homes has been sequestered and does not pose any present danger to others in the community, Greene said.
First responders arrived at the house a few minutes after midnight on Tuesday and found Christian Rogers, 25, exiting the collapsed structure, Greene said. Rogers, a friend of the family, was taken to hospital with a concussion. He is “awake and alert”, Greene said, but has not yet been discharged. The person, who has not been identified publicly, was transported to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte with non-life-threatening injuries, county officials said. First responders arrived at the house a few minutes after midnight Tuesday and found Christian Rogers, 25, exiting the collapsed structure, Greene said.
“The 6,391 square foot home is a total loss,” the Iredell County Emergency Management said in a news release sent to USA TODAY. “I think that [Robert] showed compassion for a lot of other people while he was here, but really he would help people. A family friend who grew up with Robert Farley described him as a leader of the pack. The warrant also noted that Evans had training as a plumber, which meant he had knowledge of how natural gas fixtures work. According to a search warrant obtained by the Star-Telegram, investigators learned that Evans’ wife left him and took their children with her two days before the explosion. The investigation, which unfolded over more than a year, revealed Evans was responsible for the explosion, police said in a news release.
She and his father were high school sweethearts and were married for 30 years. “What’s most important is we do everything we can to support him emotionally,” Vrabel said. Also got to focus on Caleb and his family and what we can do to support them and be there for him.
