Titans QB Kizer has strong minicamp

If there is room on your deep sleeper list, you may want to add Tennessee Titans backup quarterback DESHONE KIZER.

Raiders place QB Peterman on injured reserve

The Oakland Raiders raised some eyebrows when they signed quarterback DESHONE KIZER to give the team four quarterbacks on the roster.

Packers backup QB’s unimpressive in offseason workouts

Packers quarterback AARON RODGERS seems to be learning the new offense in Green Bay, but the same can not be said for backups DESHONE KIZER and TIM BOYLE.

Around the NFL: Packers add DeShone Kizer

The Packers traded Damarious Randall for DeShone Kizer on Friday, and it's a move that's a little bit surprising. Randall was arguably the best of a poor group of cornerbacks in Green Bay, while Kizer won't see the field in Green Bay if Aaron Rodgers stays healthy. So what was Green Bay's thinking?  more »
