National Football League wide receivers are worth their weights in gold in the current era where passing attacks are more prominent and more important with each year. League rules protect quarterbacks in the pocket http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-dawson-knox-jersey , and they make it easy for receivers to draw pass interference penalties when attempting to stretch the field on long plays. Because of this, wide receivers have already cashed-in on contracts during the early stages of 2018 free agency. Meanwhile, New York Giants Superstar Odell Beckham Jr. is reportedly eyeing a massive pay-raise that he will receive either from Big Blue or some other team after his rookie contract expires following the 2018 season. How much OBJ will earn is not yet known, but that could be a historic deal if he remains healthy and out of trouble up through March 2019. A plethora of NFL franchises that already have talented wide receivers on their rosters could still use upgrades at the position heading into the NFL Draft. Some may use draft picks on to-be rookie WRs about to begin their pro careers, while others could still use free agency and available funds to land upgrades before the draft begins. A concern some fans out there may have is that their teams will spend too much money on receivers when cheaper and younger options will become available later this spring. That’s fair, but remember that playmakers capable of finding the end zone from anywhere on the field can change a game in an instant. An elite WR could be worth several wins in any given season depending on a team’s schedule. Aksel Lund Svindal made a triumphant return to the hill where a downhill crash almost ended his career two years ago.

In the opening event of the 78th Hahnenkamm races, the 2010 Olympic super-G champion led a Norwegian 1-2 finish ahead of Kjetil Jansrud on Friday in the last World Cup race in the discipline before the Pyeongchang Games.

It was Svindal’s 16th career super-G victory but first since winning in Kitzbuehel in 2016, a day before he badly injured his right knee. He was thrown off the course http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dexter-lawrence-jersey , landed in the safety netting on the Streif and underwent surgery for a ruptured ACL and damaged meniscus. Months later, he said the injury had nearly forced him into retirement.

On Friday, Svindal dominated the super-G, which was delayed and moved to a different course higher up the hill because overnight snow and rain affected the lower part of the original course. The move meant the race included even more sections of the downhill course than usual.

Thousands of spectators followed the race on large video screens because the finish was out of sight.

”This is definitely something special. It was a special race with the finish high up on the hill,” said Svindal, who beat Jansrud by 0.50 seconds. ”Everyone was a bit nervous as we were not sure what to expect.”

Austrian teammates Matthias Mayer and Hannes Reichelt were third and fourth, 0.56 and 0.57 behind, respectively.

Josef Ferstl of Germany http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/zach-allen-jersey , who won the previous super-G in Val Gardena, Italy, last month, was 1.71 behind in 18th.

It was Svindal’s 35th career win, and 30th in a speed event, trailing only Austrian standout Hermann Maier’s total of 39 downhill and super-G wins.

Svindal, who will aim for his first downhill win in Kitzbuehel in Saturday’s race, finished in the top 10 of all three previous super-G races this season but had not reached the podium.

Still hampered by knee problems Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , Svindal believed his reduced training schedule affected his super-G form.

”In downhill you have training runs which give you more confidence,” he said. ”The downhill tomorrow will be very exciting but the weekend couldn’t have started better.”

Winning the last super-G before the Olympics does not make Svindal an obvious favorite for the Feb. 15 race in Jeongseon, South Korea. Only once did the winner of the last World Cup race also take the Olympic super-G title – in 1998 when Maier achieved the feat.

The result closed the gap in the super-G standings between Svindal and leader Jansrud to 46 points, with Vincent Kriechmayr another 14 points back in third place. The Austrian trailed Svindal by 1.29 seconds in 10th place on Friday.

Jansrud called the race ”a difficult super-G for all.”

”No one had experience on this course,” the 2014 Olympic super-G champion said. ”Aksel and I raced really well. Two moose on the podium, that makes us happy.”

After days of snow and rain, the weather was expected to improve for Saturday’s downhill.

This time our football team has played so well. Every single player has done wonderful job and it was collective efforts of the team that they all good huge victory. Congratulations to the entire essay shark team from the whole nation.
