Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Images Is Jordan Whitehead going to the Falcons? Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Jordan Whitehead may soon be suiting up against the team that drafted him. Selected in fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft , the safety out of Pitt went on to play 59 games for the Buccaneers from 2018-2021, accumulating 292 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and five interceptions.

With the 26th overall pick, originally from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Preds have drafted forward Ryker Lee. Lee — a graduate of Shattuck St. Mary’s — played for the Madison Capitols of the USHL last season, where he accumulated 58 points (31G/38A) in 68 games. He’s committed to play hockey at Michigan State University. This is a little earlier than many scouts projected Lee going, but EliteProspects evaluates him as a talented puckhandler and great passer. While they note he’s not...
