Neville says Arsenal will need a wheelbarrow to win the PL title after edging past Newcastle.
The Green Bay Packers traded up to select kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Smack, a top prospect from Florida, broke school records and will compete for the starting kicker position against Brandon McManus.

The Green Bay Packers selected cornerback Domani Jackson earlier in the sixth round, but that wasn’t enough for general manager Brian Gutekunst. Later in the round, the team traded up to the final pick in the sixth round to select kicker Trey Smack of Florida, who was considered to be the top kicking prospect in the 2026 class.
Smack was an All-SEC kicker in both 2024 and 2025. At the college level, he broke Florida’s school record for 50-plus-yard field goals. In total, he was 100 of 101 on extra points over three years and 53 of 64 (83 percent) on field goals. Obviously, the kickoff rules are different in the NFL, so he’ll have to make that adjustment moving forward.
Earlier this offseason, the Packers paid out a $1 million roster bonus to returning kicker Brandon McManus. It appeared that the team was going to ride it out with McManus, who had struggled in the postseason loss to the Chicago Bears, as general manager Brian Gutekunst reiterated that McManus was the man for the job. Obviously, though, that was just lip service, as trading up for Smack makes a clear statement that there will be competition at the position this summer.
