OTA Day 1 One Year Later: What A Difference

We have some fun revisiting the reactions to day one of OTAs from last year when there was  some question about Sam Darnold as the starter that Mike Macdonald swatted down, and then we preview how different things are with the first day of 2026 OTAs starting today. We continue our Battle of the Best series, pitting the 2025 Dark Side defense against some new combatants.   Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/HMAHAWKBLOGGER   Get 30% off sitewide at BATCH — and yes, that applies to subscriptions too, so you can lock in that discount on your monthly supply.
