Månedens rejseblog: To rejsende danskere, der vil smage på hele verden

Vi har jo alle vores præferencer når det gælder rejser. Nogle skal bare have noget strand, andre skal op på lakridserne og være så aktive som muligt, og så er der dem, der altid skal forbi det lokale vandfald eller Zoo. Her på redaktionen giver det sig udslag i, at det også kan være lidt svært lige at finde den rejseblog, som man helst vil følge, for vi vil helst ikke følge for mange, men kun dem, der rammer mest rigtigt ifht. rejsedrømme og rejsefacon. Derfor var vi også glade, da vi stødte ind i månedens blog, Two Danes On Tour.

Anne Marie og Rasmus er nemlig bidt af at rejse til lidt anderledes destinationer, hvor der er fokus på dyreliv og store madoplevelser. I vores verden er det et Kinderæg der vil noget. De har da også en masse gode indlæg fra nogle af verdens bedste destinationer, hvis man vil opleve dyr i deres egne omgivelser – fra Galapagos til Palau og meget ind imellem. At de åbenlyst er madører fornægter sig heller ikke, for deres jagt på særlige madoplevelser i primært Europa, er både sjove og interessante at følge med i. Og så rejser de også til lidt andre steder, fx uden for turistområderne i Colombia, på Madagaskar og i Iran, hvor de bl.a. har skrevet en “Guide til at komme godt igennem lufthavnen i Teheran”, som bør vær obligatorisk læsning for alle, der skal til et af de mest undervurderede rejselande i verden, Iran.

Vi er desuden ret begejstrede for, at Anne Marie og Rasmus er så ærlige omkring deres oplevelser. Det er ikke hver dag der er en fest, selv når man rejser, og de får på en ordentlig og enkel måde vist nuancerne frem, så deres beskrivelser står tydeligt og troværdige frem. De blogger for at vise indsigt, ikke for at sælge en drøm om at livet altid er bedre når man er væk hjemmefra. Det er lidt en kunst, og det tager vi hatten af for. Vi kunne godt af og til savne nogle flere praktiske oplysninger i indlæggene, men de findes selvfølgelig så mange andre steder, og til gengæld er der mange og gode billeder.

Så hvis du er til dyreliv, mad og anderledes destinationer kan vi varmt anbefale at kigge forbi Two Danes On Tour , og du kan også følge Anne Marie her på RejsRejsRejs.dk , hvor hun skriver om sine bedste rejseoplevelser.

2024 Tour of the Gila Stage Three Report

Stephens Increases Overall Lead, Stites Blasts Into Victory

Stephens Increases Overall Tour of the Gila Lead, Winning Tyrone Time Trial

Cynisca Cycling’s Lauren Stephens raced to victory in Tyrone for Stage 3 of the Tour of the Gila 2024. Having won on the same course in 2015, she improved her previous best time by 23 seconds. Her victory at the Tyrone Individual Time Trial also increased her lead on the General Classification by 2:01, ahead of Nadia Gontova on GC. The DNA Pro Cycling rider was fourth on the stage. Alia Shafi finished 51 seconds behind Stephens, clocking a time of 39:03; 23 seconds ahead of Cécile Lejeune, racing for the Steve Tilford Foundation, finishing with 33:26 in third.

“It was quite windy out there,” Stephens said after the finish. “It was a great ride; I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Emily Ehrlich had been the heavy favorite coming into the time trial, after winning the TT at the Redlands Bicycle Classic and two gold medals at the Pan American Track Championships. Speaking ahead of her

start, Ehrlich said, “I honestly feel it’s the best TT we have in the country. I’ve only done it once, obviously, but it’s my favorite. I really love it!”

Ehrlich started her TT strong, with her head down in the tight position she is accustomed to.

Unfortunately, the Virginia’s Blue Ridge Twenty24 rider crashed coming down the descent of the Little Burro on the way out. She was then forced to abandon the race due to injury. The team later confirmed Ehrlich suffered a broken collarbone and possibly other fractures and is “absolutely covered in road rash.” Ehrlich had been expected to win the stage; with Stephens admitting that once she had seen that Ehrlich had crashed, she had backed off her speed.

“I hope Emily is okay,” Stephens added. “I saw her when I came over the top of the climb, which reminded me to focus on safety first.”

Ehrlich was also expected to be a top contender at the Olympic trials in two weeks’ time. She has managed to send a message to the race organization, stating she is in good spirits, and doesn’t want people to worry about her. “She will be okay,” her team reassured.

At the end of the day, the GC saw a shake-up in the standings under Stephens and Nadia Gontova, who continue to sit in the top two spots. Alia Shafi moved into the top ten on GC, following her second-place finish for Fount Cycling Guild. Her teammate, Eleanor Wiseman, also moved up to fourth from tenth place as she heads into Saturday’s crit. PAS/Steve Tilford Foundation Racing’s Marcela Prieto slid down to fifth after finishing nineteenth on the stage. Cynisca Cycling’s Ashley Frye finished fourth, moving her into a podium position in third ahead of Saturday.

The UCI women race 27 laps at the Downtown Criterium presented by the Town of Silver City on Saturday starting at 1:30 MDT.

Stites Blasts Into Victory, Taking the Overall Lead at Tour of the Gila

At Tour of the Gila on Friday, Project Echelon’s Tyler Stites blasted through the finish, seizing the win with a time of 33:07 at the Tyrone Individual Time Trial presented by Freeport McMoran. He came close to the course record of 32:59 that was set by Levi Leipheimer in 2009. The current Pan Am Time Trial Champion, Walter Vargas, was second for Team Medellín, clocking a time of 33:18. Jonas Walton rounded the podium in third, finishing in 33:45 and moving into the lead of the Best Young Rider Classification.

Stites’s win marks the second stage win for the team at Tour of the Gila 2024, after winning four out of five stages at Redlands earlier this month. Stites takes over the GC with his victory with two stages

remaining. Team Medellín’s Wilmar Paredes had a tough day, finishing in 36:33 and sliding down to fourth on GC.

“It’s a tough course, the main goal was to win the stage and take the red which I accomplished,” Stites said. “I’m really happy about that. I definitely had my eye on the course record but came up short; it was a tough day out there. I was chasing Walter, which was my minute-man, so that was a good carrot to be chasing. I had him in sight so I had a good day.”

The 16.15-mile Individual Time Trial out-and-back course in Tyrone featured 1,188 feet (362 meters) of climbing. Straight out of the start house, the road pitches up for a Category 4 Little Burro climb, rapidly shifts into a fast descent passing the Freeport-McMoran Tyrone mine, the end of which signals the turn around to head back to the finish. Five miles before the finish, the Little Burro greets the riders again, this time descending at a gradient of 6-7% before streaming down into the finishing shoot.

Owen Wright of CS Velo Racing sat in the hot seat for most of the day, starting within the first 20 riders out of the start house. Wright clocked in at 34:02, enough to finish fifth. His teammate, Joshua Lebo, crossed the finish with his CS Velo team cheering him on, becoming the first rider to clock in under 34 minutes with 33:59 and ending up fourth on the stage.

The hot seat began to change rapidly once the final ten riders were coming in to the finish. Disappointment showed through the smile Vargas displayed as he talked about his performance. He had won the stage last year, and was hoping to defend his win, but still gave respect to Stites as he outshone him in Tyrone.

“This was a pretty demanding time trial, and the wind here is strong,” Vargas said. “I felt good and had good legs but Tyler [Stites] is also in very good form. I knew that he had won another race before Gila here in the United States, so he’s going very strong.”

Despite his loss on Friday, Vargas and Team Medellín look ahead to the final two stages, ready to battle for the GC.

“I’m sitting second on GC with two demanding stages to go, including the final that is a very, very hard stage,” Vargas said. “We hope to give everything and make it a good race on Sunday. Tomorrow, we have the crit, which is a fast and explosive one, so we will give it our all in these last two days.”

Stites won the Downtown Silver City Criterium in 2022, and expects the team to contest the sprint on Saturday before the final showdown Sunday. Important time bonuses will be available at the finish Saturday for the top three finishers, earning ten, six and four seconds respectively.

The pro men take the stage at 3:10 p.m. after a full day of amateur racing and following the pro women.

Golf | north oaks’ frankie capan iii in second place, two shots back heading into final round of korn ferry tour event.

North Oaks product Frankie Capan III is in position to secure his first Korn Ferry Tour victory Sunday in Texas.

Capan birdied his final three holes in the third round Saturday at Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington to move into solo second place and pull within two shots of Tim Widing at the Veritex Bank Championship.

Capan shot a 4-under-par 67 on Saturday, two days after he set the course record with a 13-under 58 to open the tournament.

A victory Sunday would move the 24-year-old into the top five of the season-long points list. The top 30 at season’s end earn PGA Tour cards. If Capan — who entered the week in 30th on the list — were to maintain his current placement of solo second, he’d be projected to move up to 12th.

There are currently no Minnesota natives on golf’s top professional tour.

Capan is simply excited to have the opportunity to contend for a title.

“Winning is fun, man. Winning is always fun,” Capan told reporters Saturday. “No matter what tour or what level you’re on. No matter what we’re playing. If you and I went out and played pickleball or football or any other sport, I want to beat you. So I think just having the opportunity to win and putting myself in a good spot to do that is exciting, and I’m really looking forward to (Sunday).”

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Three-time PGA Tour winner Brendan Steele shot an 8-under 64 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the LIV Tour’s Adelaide tournament at The Grange Golf Club.

The 41-year-old Steele’s last PGA Tour victory came in 2017 when he won his second Safeway Open. He lost in a playoff to Australian Cameron Smith at the 2020 Sony Open in Hawaii.

Steele had a 36-hole total of 14-under 130. He had a streak of four birdies, a bogey and two birdies in the middle of his round.

Danny Lee was a stroke behind after a 67, followed by Carlos Ortiz (68) and Mito Pereira (67) in a tie for third.

First-round leader Jinichiro Kozuma shot 71 and was tied for ninth, four strokes behind Steele. The Japanese player had an eagle, three birdies and four bogeys.

Jon Rahm, who has yet to win since joining LIV in December, shot 69 and was tied for 15th, six strokes off the lead.

Steele predicted a 20-under total would be needed to win after Sunday’s final round.

“There’s good scores out there for sure,” he said. “If you’re in the fairway, then you can take on a lot of the pins.”

Smith shot 65 and was among those three behind in a four-way tie for fifth.

Enjoying the home crowd’s support, Smith said he was grateful for the lady his errant shot hit on the 17th hole. The shot rebounded kindly off the woman and Smith ended up with a birdie on the hole.

“I hit her in the back,” Smith said. “It probably wasn’t going to be in the trees, but it was going to be in the rough and a different lie, so it could have been a different outcome. But (I) made her proud and made a birdie there, and she helped me out — hopefully that eased the pain a little bit for her.”

A new friendship ensued.

“She was nice,” Smith said. “I went over there and I signed a ball, and she said ‘just give me a hug’, so I gave her a hug as well. She was sweet.”

There was also drama in another Australian’s round with Lucas Herbert’s caddie, Nick Pugh, hit in the head by a water bottle thrown from the crowd while replacing the flagstick at the 12th hole.

Herbert had just holed a birdie putt to finish his round in the shotgun format and was celebrating with fans at the par-3, known as the ‘watering hole’ with its loud music and boisterous fans, when Pugh was hit in the back of the head.

Pugh initially sunk to his knees but made his way back to the clubhouse and was reportedly uninjured and in good spirits.

The LIV tour remains in the Asia region next week for the May 3-5 Singapore event at the Sentosa Golf Club. Then there’s a month-long break before resuming in Houston from June 7-9.

Berry moves two strokes clear in Abu Dhabi  

Joshua Berry will take a two-stroke lead into the weekend of the UAE Challenge after posting a four under par round of 68 on day two at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club.

The Englishman, who started the day in a share of the lead, fired seven birdies in his first 11 holes to move clear of the rest of the field, and despite dropping three strokes in his final three holes, ended the day on 11 under par, two shots clear of South African Wilco Nienaber and Dane Hamish Brown.  

The 18-year-old, who turned professional just over six months ago after securing playing privileges through DP World Tour Qualifying School, was delighted with his efforts over the opening two days. 

“I’m really happy,” he said. “If you’d told me at the start of the day that I was going to shoot four under on the back of yesterday, I’d have taken it.  

“Tee to green I’ve been quite solid. Today, I holed a couple more putts in the first twelve holes, but I’ve hit it well all week. Tomorrow, I’ll just go and do the same things but try to finish the round off a little bit better than I did today.” 

Berry, who was five shots clear at one point on the second day before dropping three shots on the back nine in blustery afternoon conditions, highlighted the difficulty of scoring on day two at Saadiyat Beach. 

“I teed off early yesterday, so I didn’t get much wind”, he said. “This afternoon was different and you had holes downwind and into wind. 

“It’s quite firm out there, so you can hit good drives into bunkers, and then if you get a bad lie it’s quite tough.” 

Frenchman Alexander Levy recorded a second successive round of 68 to move into fourth place on eight under par, while Swiss Benjamin Rusch, Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Northern Irishman Dermot McElroy share fifth place on seven under par.  

Seven players are one shot further back in eighth place, including Spaniard Javier Sainz, Dutchman Kiet van der Weele and Finn Tapio Pulkkanen. 

The third round gets under way at 7:30am local time, with Berry teeing off alongside Nienaber and Brown at 9:30am.

Kyle Rittenhouse, deadly shooter, college speaker? A campus gun-rights tour sparks outrage

Kyle Rittenhouse is not a typical college campus speaker.

In 2020, at the age of 17, he took an AR-15-style rifle to a Black Lives Matter demonstration and fired it, killing two people and injuring a third. Rittenhouse said he pulled the trigger in self-defense and was acquitted of wrongdoing .

He has since penned a book, “Acquitted,” and has set out on a series of college speaking events dubbed the " Rittenhouse Recap ." He is slated to appear Thursday at Clemson University in South Carolina.

Rittenhouse is selling books, and ostensibly promoting the right to bear arms on campus, but he’s also trying to persuade young people to join the conservative movement. The key group behind the appearances, Turning Point USA, is led by the self-described “youth director” of President Donald Trump’s first campaign and a key ally rallying votes for Trump this year.

The group told USA TODAY that it isn’t a nationally organized tour – that its chapters independently requested Rittenhouse. Student chapter leaders told USA TODAY that Rittenhouse is an important conversation starter. “I think sometimes you have to be kind of polarizing to pull a crowd," said Brady Seymour, president of Turning Point USA's chapter at Kent State University in Ohio.

The provocative choice of backing the Rittenhouse tour is par for the course for Turning Point and its local affiliates, which have hosted controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier . But it has stirred up devastating pain and disdain in a man he almost killed.

"He has used every moment to gloat and to make light of taking life," Paul Prediger said, speaking publicly for the first time about what happened in protest of a Rittenhouse speech last week at Kent State. "As if that were not enough, Kyle has embraced and been embraced by those who peddle hateful rhetoric, who believe in nationalism that excludes those who do not look like or think like them, and who have sought to amplify a troubling desire for violence against supposed political, cultural, and religious enemies."

Rittenhouse's message on his campus tour – that students should be allowed to take up arms, including to fend off "these Hamas, Palestinian terrorists" if they invade dormitories – has sparked protests and raised questions about free speech and just how far it should be allowed to go. A similar question helped lead to the resignations of the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University , who stepped down amid fierce criticism for equivocating when asked if calls for the genocide of Jews would be allowed on campus.

Rittenhouse, in a statement provided by spokesperson Jillian Anderson, said his campus appearances are not part of an official tour or book-selling venture, and he is reminding students of their rights. "Every American has a constitutional right to bear arms," he said, "and it should not be infringed by a college campus."

Experts say context matters. Tom Ginsburg, a law professor at the University of Chicago and faculty director of the forum on free inquiry and expression, told USA TODAY that federal regulations require colleges and universities to ensure their learning environment is not hostile. Within that framework, some incendiary language could be permitted in a general public space but prohibited if directed at an individual or group.

"That's a key distinction," he said. "Is it said in general, as part of a general demonstration, or is it shouted at a particular group of people who might then reasonably perceive it as being a threat of some kind? And if it's the latter, then it could be punished."

Kyle Rittenhouse says students should carry guns on campus

On the evening of Aug. 25, 2020 , Rittenhouse brought a rifle to the site of intense protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man. Amid a scuffle with protesters, Rittenhouse fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Prediger.

In a trial that drew national attention in 2021, Rittenhouse said he shot the men in self-defense after Rosenbaum threatened his life and Prediger pointed a gun at him. Prediger said he thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter. Critics said Rittenhouse had no right to fire his weapon and was illegally acting as a vigilante militia. A jury acquitted him of all five charges he faced, including intentional homicide.

Rittenhouse soon took on celebrity status in right-wing circles where the right to bear arms and use them to defend life and property is sacrosanct. The weekend after his trial, he flew to Florida to visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort and to appear on Fox News for an interview with conservative host Tucker Carlson.

At Kent State, Rittenhouse implored students to fight to be allowed to carry guns at school.

"We have these blue boxes that are on the campus – we've all seen them, you push a button, it calls the police, and you get connected to a dispatcher," he said. "How long does it take a cop to show up, though? When somebody is trying to kidnap you or somebody is threatening your life, is that the quickest option to be able to protect yourself?"

He encouraged students to join conservative groups like Turning Point USA and said elected officials don't care about them.

"What makes me really scared, and I get really upset that people, especially young campus students, aren't allowed to carry firearms, just because I'm scared that what happens if these Hamas, Palestinian terrorists come to the U.S. and try to attack us?" Rittenhouse said. "Are we supposed to be left defenseless? Are you supposed to be left defenseless because you're not allowed to have a gun in your dormitory?"

After Prediger – formerly known as Gaige Grosskreutz – criticized his speaking tour, Rittenhouse posted a video clip on X, formerly Twitter. It showed Prediger admitting he pointed a gun in Rittenhouse's direction before being shot. Rittenhouse did not include text in the post.

Students accuse Turning Point of 'hateful actions'

In the days leading up to his arrival at Kent State, demonstrators staged a walkout, organized a vigil, and spray painted "Welcome, killer" on a free-speech landmark. A Change.org petition urging the university and Turning Point USA to cancel Rittenhouse's visit gathered more than 3,700 signatures. The event spurred Prediger to speak out. Hundreds showed up to protest.

"I stand with the students of Kent State University who have had enough," Prediger said.

Students said it was particularly insensitive for the campus to host Rittenhouse and his message about guns on campus given the school's history. On May 4, 1970, four students were gunned down at Kent State when the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd gathered to protest the invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War.

Aimée Flores, a representative from the university's Spanish and Latine Student Association, said the organization encouraged students "to learn more about Turning Point USA.... their hateful actions on campus and throughout this whole year, why we don't agree with their actions."

Seymour, the school's Turning Point chapter president, said the event was about "creating conversation." It had no relation to the 1970 killing of protestors, he said.

"In his speech, he talked mostly about having the right to carry on campus, considering students aren't allowed to at Kent State," Seymour said.

"These two stories are completely different and 50 years apart," he said.

Protests at every campus on 'Rittenhouse Recap' tour

Other “Rittenhouse Recap” appearances prompted vocal opposition and protest.

At Western Kentucky University , protesters held a sit-in and march last month. His appearance at East Tennessee State University in February also sparked demonstrations – local press reports show one protester wielding a sign accusing Turning Point of empowering "stochastic terrorism" – the incitement of violence through public demonization of a person or group.

In the days leading up to Rittenhouse's appearance at The University of Memphis in March, the school fielded a barrage of complaints from students, faculty, and community members. Protesters held signs with messages like, “Put Rittenhouse behind bars, not a podium.” Rittenhouse abruptly left the stage after about 30 minutes as protesters shouted him down.

Universities said allowing the events – and the protests – upholds key tenets of American democracy and academic tradition: Free speech and freedom of assembly. Turning Point USA’s chapter at The University of Memphis is a registered student organization, the school said.

"We cannot ban speech because it would go against a core value and because of well-established laws governing free speech on public university campuses,” Kent State said in a statement provided to USA TODAY. “Upholding the First Amendment rights of free speech and peaceful assembly for all, the university has a long history of allowing peaceful dialogue from all points of view, including those whom some may feel are offering different and/or sometimes controversial opinions."

Turning Point has history of booking controversial speakers

Turning Point USA has a track record of booking controversial and provocative figures, placing it at the center of debates over First Amendment rights on college campuses, where it says it has grown to more than 800 chapters since its founding in 2012.

In late 2016 and early 2017, the group was behind a nationwide campus speaking tour by Milo Yiannopoulos – a former Breitbart writer banned from Twitter for harassment and dropped from the agenda at a Conservative Political Action Conference after videos surfaced of him defending sexual relationships between 13-year-old boys and grown men. Yiannopoulos said he was joking and may have used "imprecise language."

In 2019, Turning Point’s Iowa State University chapter claimed partial responsibility for extending a speaking invitation to Fuentes, a white nationalist who has said he wants a "total Aryan victory" and self-identified as a "sexist man," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Last year, representatives of the group confronted, criticized and assaulted an LGBTQ+ instructor at Arizona State University in Tempe.

Turning Point has taken action against members for promoting hate speech. In 2019, the group expelled a member at the University of Nevada Las Vegas after a video surfaced of the student shouting "white power" and using a white supremacist hand sign.

Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point USA, said the Fuentes event was not sanctioned, and a local chapter official was tricked into arranging the appearance. He said that Turning Points has repeatedly denounced white nationalism . Kolvet said that in general, students should be able to hear from controversial speakers. "We do our best to make sure that there's going to be enriching discussion, that the speaker is going to be, I would say, uplifting, inspiring, productive."

He said Turning Point chapters chose Rittenhouse as a speaker. "There just happened to be schools that asked for Kyle because he came out with a book and he made himself available, essentially."

Turning Point touts itself as a key player in conservative politics , as does its founder and president, Charlie Kirk , who told conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh 's show in 2019 that he “traveled the country for about 70 days straight carrying Donald Trump Jr.’s bags and getting his Diet Cokes.” In addition to becoming Trump Jr.'s "body man," he took on the role of "youth director of the campaign," Kirk said. Speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2020, he called President Trump the "bodyguard of Western civilization."

Kirk also speaks on college campuses, where his fiery rhetoric has sparked controversy. At a speech last fall at Missouri State University , he said all immigration to the U.S. should be halted, called global warming an "academic distraction," and speculated about how many Hamas sleeper cells might be active in the U.S.

Expert says universities grappling with non-academic provocateurs

Ginsburg stressed that colleges and universities must allow free speech. "It’s pretty clear that their obligation is to make sure that event goes forward and to make sure it's not disrupted," he said. "At the same time, peaceful protest also has a long tradition on campus."  

Ginsburg said an added dimension to their challenges is the more recent phenomenon of campus speakers who intentionally draw negative attention.

"What we're now seeing is that people are sometimes getting invited to campus who aren't necessarily academics. They're not articulating a truly academic point of view," Ginsburg said. "In some cases, we have provocateurs, including some people who actually are seeking to be canceled, seeking to be protested."

He said people like Rittenhouse often capitalize on controversy. "He's certainly part of a media ecosystem in which you do have some of those kind of characters where, if you can get canceled, it ups your follower rate and you can portray yourself as a victim," he said.

To the Turning Point leader at Kent State, it's a tactic the group uses to advance conversation.

"That's the sad reality of how people are," Seymour said. "You kind of have to stir up drama or be a polarizing character for people to end up paying attention to you."

På vintertur i The Caddy Camper

En vintertur i vores elskede Caddy Camper, kan man det??? Det satte vi os for at finde ud af en bidende kold weekend i februar. 

Vi elsker at rejse! Og vi synes selv, at vi er mega gode til det. Vi havde vores første rejse sammen i 2003, og vi bliver aldrig trætte af at opleve spændende steder, møde nye mennesker, se fantastisk natur og dyreliv, spise mad fra alverdens køkkener og bare sanse, se, slentre og opleve.   

Vi får meget god tid til at gå med at planlægge ture, finde billige flybilletter, undersøge seværdigheder, naturoplevelser og overnatningsmuligheder i de områder, som vi rejser til. Men der er jo ikke såååååå meget at opleve i øjeblikket, af de ting vi plejer at gå efter. Så vi har brugt mange dage, uger, måneder i hinandens selskab på egen matrikel, med gåture i den lokale skov samt med at finde nye steder i lokalområdet. Med en verden, som er i rød, lukkede butikker, museer, biografer og restauranter samt et forsamlingsforbud på 5, er det sgu alligevel begrænset, hvad man kan finde på. Og så alligevel – for vi har altid sagt, at eventyret kan findes overalt. 

En vintertur på tegnebrættet

Pludselig en aften fik Rasmus en idé om, at vi skulle prøve at teste Caddy Camperen her om vinteren. Anne Marie spurgte lidt skeptisk, om han mente sådan en vintertur, hvor vi skulle sove i bilen? Og det gjorde han lige nøjagtigt! Og så gik vi begge straks i planlægningsmodus. 

For det første havde vi begge mulighed for at holde en feriefridag. Og da det var på plads, besluttede vi hurtigt, at turen skulle gå til Lille Vildmose. Et fantastisk naturområde, som vi har besøgt flere gange om foråret og sommeren. Men nu ville vi se, hvad mosen kunne tilbyde her om vinteren.

Inden afgang hjemmefra tjekkede vi lige vejrudsigten. Det skulle vi måske ikke have gjort… Vi kunne se, at der blev lovet ned til minus 7 grader om natten og masser af vind. Noget af en udfordring, når det ville være vores første vintertur. Men det kunne ikke slå os ud. Vi var så spændte på, at vi igen skulle ud på tur. 

Vi overvejede nøje, hvad vi skulle have med af varmt tøj og fodtøj. Vi pakkede begge lange underbukser, almindelige bukser og skibukser. Derudover uldundertrøjer, en varm uldsweater, en fleece og skijakker. Vi havde også tykke uldsokker i de store vinterstøvler og selvfølgelig huer, vanter og halstørklæder/halsedisser med.

Vi valgte at tage vores almindelige dyner med, da de er gode og varme. For en sikkerheds skyld stoppede vi også et uldtæppe og en varm sovepose i bilen. Måske ville en af os få brug for det i løbet af natten. 

Ud på tur, aldrig sur

Torsdag efter arbejde begav vi os af sted. Og med et enkelt aftensmadsstop i Nyborg, var vi fremme på Øster Hurup havn kl. 21.15. Så var det bare om hurtigst muligt at få lavet sengen og sat udluftningsskinner i sideruderne. (Til dem af jer, som endnu ikke kender os så godt, så kan vi lige kort fortælle, at vi har bygget seng bag i vores personbil VW Caddy. Hvordan og hvorledes kan I læse om her ).

Derefter besøgte vi de udmærkede toiletter på havneområdet. Koden til toiletterne står på Havnefogedens dør. Efter tænderne var børstede, var det bare om at komme hurtigt tilbage til bilen og krybe ned under dynerne.

Vi gik i seng med t-shirt, lange underbukser, uldsokker og huer på. Anne Marie måtte dog både af med sokker og hue i løbet af natten. Rasmus plejer at sige, at hun har en meget fintfølende indbygget termostat, som har udsving ved blot plus/minus 1 grad. Så der skal ikke meget til, før at hun går fra at fryse til at svede – og omvendt.

Vi indrømmer blankt, at der var koldt i Caddy Camperen, da vi vågnede næste morgen. Køleskabstermometeret, som vi havde taget med hjemmefra, stod på minus 1 grad, da vækkeuret ringede kl. 6.30. Og der var is på ruderne indvendigt. 

Inden vi stod op, tog vi alt vores tøj ned under dynerne, så det kunne blive varmet op, inden vi skulle have det på. Frossent tøj er altså ikke lige sagen. Derefter var det på med skibukser og vinterjakke, hue, vanter og halstørklæde. Og så var vi klar til at stå ud i stiv kuling og frostvejr. Men prøv lige at se en solopgang. Man kan jo kun blive glad!

Vintertur i Lille Vildmose

Vi hentede lidt morgenmad i Daglig Brugsen i Øster Hurup, inden vi kørte til Lille Vildmose – en tur på ca. 15 minutter. Vi nød det sidste af solopgangen over Birkesø, mens vi spiste morgenbrødet. Og snart var vi af sted på tur.

Vi var egentlig kommet for at se, om vi kunne være heldige at møde en odder. Men som altid er Lille Vildmose ikke nogen zoologisk have. Man skal have masser af tid, tålmodighed og en god portion held for at få de forskellige dyr og fugle at se. 

Og vi måtte snart sande, at de fleste dyr og fugle havde fundet et eller andet sted at sidde i læ for den bidende kulde fra øst. Vi kørte rundt i to fulde dage plus en morgen og ikke en eneste gang så vi skyggen af en elg . Det var jo heller ikke det, vi var kommet efter, men de er altid flotte at se. 

Til gengæld mødte vi Bambi på isen. Og vi skulle hilse og sige, at der var glat.

Ræve på jagt

Vi var heldige at se ræve en 5-6 gange. Et par af gangene gik Mikkel ræv på jagt efter fugle hen over isen på Toftesø.

Vi var forbi Lille Vildmose sidste forår, for at se de små, søde ræveunger . Men de er jo selvfølgelig for længst flyttet ud af rævegraven.

Fuglekonge og stor tornskade

Vi syntes, at det hele var lidt dødt og forladt i mosen, men pludselig hørte vi nogle små bitte pip, som straks fangede vores opmærksomhed.

Lige over vores hoveder var vi heldige at se fem fuglekonger -Danmarks mindste fugl. De er altid MEGET hurtige og vimse og en god udfordring at fotografere. Rasmus fik dette sjove skud i flugten.

På Ny Høstemarkvej var vi heldige at se en stor tornskade, som holdt udkig efter føde. Det er en flot og skæg fugl.

Den spiser hovedsageligt store insekter, firben, padder, små fugle og mus. Hvis en stor tornskade fanger mere føde, end den lige umiddelbart kan spise, spidder den det på tornegrene til senere brug. Altså som et forrådskammer. Super smart, men også lidt makabert, hvis man kommer til at gå forbi en død fugl eller mus som hænger blodig på en gren.

Vi var meget glade for at få lov til at se tornskaden, da den er kritisk truet og på den danske rødliste.  

På tur til Mou og Egense

Men ellers så vi ikke meget liv i mosen. Vi besluttede derfor at køre et smut forbi Sejlklubben Mou Bro, da vi havde hørt, at der var set odder i havnebassinet. Desværre var den ikke at se, så vi måtte nøjes med at observere de scener, der udspillede sig, da en far og hans søn i en transportabel sauna huggede hul i isen med en økse, hvorefter faderen var i vandet og sønnen lavede tør(ryg)svømning for ikke at komme det. For at skåne alle tog vi ingen billeder af seancen – og det var ikke på grund af GDPR!

Næste stop var Egense havn, hvorfra færgen sejler til Hals på den anden side af Limfjorden. Her så vi et par flotte hvinænder og en flok knortegæs. Men heller ikke her var odder-heldet med os.

Og en ulykke kommer jo som bekendt sjældent alene: Grillbaren på havnen var selvfølgelig også lukket! Derfor måtte vi tilbage til Mou, hvor lykken vendte. – Ja, altså vi så ingen odder! Men Mou Pizza og Kebab House laver fantastiske frokostpizzaer til kun 35 kr. Et “kødhjul” med oksekød, kebab OG bearnaise, der næsten kunne få os til at glemme det manglende dyreliv og vores kolde tæer.

Endnu en nat

Vi havde ikke mistet modet ved at sove i Caddyen, så endnu en nat blev tilbragt på Øster Hurup havn. Det var både sjovt og hyggeligt at ligge her med kolde næser og lytte til vinden. Og næste morgen stod vi op til endnu en smuk dag.

Flere søde mennesker skrev til os undervejs, at de tilbød os logi og en varm brændeovn, men vi havde jo besluttet os for en vintertur, og vi var meget stålfaste på at gennemføre det.

Ja, faktisk fik vi overvældende mange likes og kommentarer på Facebook for vores heltemod eller dumdristighed – du vælger selv. Tusind tak til alle jer, som tog jer tid til at sende os en sjov eller sød hilsen. Vi sætter stor pris på dem alle.

Også tak til jer, som vi mødte i mosen. Det er altid sjovt og dejligt at slå en sludder af med andre natur- og fotointeresserede. Nogle af jer var endda så søde at komme med suppe og varm kakao.

Anden nat fandt vi på at lægge uldtæppet rundt om vores dyner i fodenden, så der ikke opstod kuldebroer, hvis vi kom til at vende os i løbet af natten, og storetåen stak ud. Ellers ændrende vi ikke på noget. Vi var godt tilfredse med tingenes tilstand. Det eneste, vi kunne klage over, var de 12 sekundmeter, som det blæste uden for Caddyen. Men det skal det vel på en rigtig vintertur. 

På jagt efter odder

Andendagen startede med morgenmad og flot solopgang i Dokkedal. Her er der et lille udstillingshus med bordebænkesæt, hvor man fint kan spise sin mad. Dog var der lukket for vandet og toiletterne her om vinteren, hvis man skulle få brug for det.

Igen var vinden kold og bidende, og de skægmejser, som vi kiggede efter, kunne vi ingen steder se. Til gengæld var der meget smukt med det tilfrosne hav.

Vi kørte derfor tilbage til Lille Vildmose, hvor der var lidt mindre vind og lidt større held med dyrelivet. 

Og så endelig det, vi var kommet for at se: odder! Den var lagt ude på isen på Toftesø. Ind imellem hoppede den i vandet i en våge, og når den så kom op på isen igen, rullede den sig i sneen for at blive tør. Det var sjovt at stå og observere den.

Fugleskjul ved Birkesø

Alle de gange vi har været i mosen, har vi sørget for, at opleve et nyt sted, som vi ikke har været før. Det bliver selvfølgelig sværere og sværere jo flere gange, vi har været der. Men det kan stadig lade sig gøre.

Denne gang besøgte vi det utroligt fine fugleskjul ved Birkesø. Vi parkerede Caddyen ved Lillesø og gik langs søbredden derud. Vi blev overraskede over, hvor smukt skjulet var – og det blev jo heller ikke dårligere af, at solen skinnede så flot. 

Da der heller ikke denne dag var super meget liv i mosen, lavede vi lige en lille eftermiddagstur til Aalborg-området, hvor vi havde fået at vide, at der skulle være vandstær. Endnu en rigtig sjov fugl, som kun kan ses i Danmark om vinteren. Der er enkelte par, som yngler her, men det er utrolig sjældent at se. De fleste vandstære flyver mod nord, når foråret kommer.

Vandstæren, som ligner lidt en solsort med hvidt bryst, er virkelig hurtig, og ikke særlig sky. Den lever ved åer og floder, hvor der er rindende vand. Den står tit og vipper med halen, ja, det ser nærmest ud som om den laver knæbøjninger, for så lige pludselig at hoppe på hovedet i åen. Der fanger den forskellige insekter i vandet. Men snart er den oppe på sin yndlingssten igen.

Vi gik en tur langs en å, men så ikke rigtig noget. På tilbagevejen var vi heldige. Vandstæren stod pludselig på en lille sten ved bredden af åen. Den fløj lidt frem og tilbage langs vandet, men kom hele tiden tilbage til det samme sted. Derfor var det muligt for Rasmus at få et billede af den lille fugl i eftermiddagslyset.

Alle gode gange tre

Vi tog endnu en kold nat på Øster Hurup havn. Vi var kommet til at snakke med en kvinde, som sov i autocamper sammen med hendes mand. De nød ligesom os den fine udsigt og de gode faciliteter på havnen, men havde det selvfølgelig meget varmere i deres store AC end os i lille Caddy Camper. Hun tilbød os, at vi kunne parkere bag deres bil og derved komme lidt i læ for den stride østenvind. Det hjalp lidt, men temperaturen var stadig under 0 i kabinen. 

Vi rundede lige mosen næste morgen og så en ræv og tre havørne på isen. Vi havde håbet på endnu en odder, men heldet var ikke med os denne dag. Derefter kørte vi hjemover igen, inden snestormen for alvor ramte Danmark.

Galt eller genialt

Her kommer lidt tanker om turen, efter vi er kommet hjem i varmen igen.

Caddy Camperen er en fantastisk bil året rundt. Og vi har brugt den meget mere, end vi havde turde håbe på, da vi byggede seng bagi. 

Anne Marie havde lidt bekymringer hjemmefra i forhold til kulde, og det at skulle ud og tisse midt om natten. Men man kan, hvad man vil, og når først man er af sted, så er det jo mega sjovt at udfordre sig selv.

Det var selvfølgelig koldt både i og udenfor bilen, men når vi først lå under dynerne, havde vi det dejlig varmt. Og så var det jo kun koldt, når vi skulle op igen næste morgen. 

Som sagt fik vi mange sjove kommentarer undervejs på de sociale medier. Vi er blevet kaldt både vilde, totalt skøre, seje, modige, fantastiske, lige på grænsen til at være komplet tossede, skønne, dejlige og ikke helt normale. Vi tager dem alle som komplimenter, og syntes, at det var sjovt, at der blev så meget opmærksomhed på vores tur. Det havde vi ikke forventet.  

Er det både første og sidste gang, at vi er taget på vintertur i The Caddy Camper? Helt sikkert ikke! Vi er klar til igen at udforske et nyt hjørne af Danmark, frost eller ej.

Har du ikke en Caddy Camper ligesom os, men vil du også gerne udfordre dig selv med en vintertur, så kan vi anbefale en nat i shelter. Eneste forskel på Caddy og shelter er, at i Caddy blæser det ikke indenfor! 

Gode råd til en vintertur

• Det værste er at fryse. Hav derfor masser af tøj med, som du kan tage på lag-på-lag. Især uld er godt!
• Det er vigtigt at have det tilpas varmt, når du skal sove. Du må ikke lægge dig til at sove, hvis du fryser. Så får du aldrig varmen.
• Sørg for at det ikke trækker nedefra, og at du har en varm sovepose eller en vinterdyne.
• Hvis du til hverdag sover med en formstøbt skumhovedpude, så byt den ud med en af fjer. De formstøbte bliver hårde som beton og meget kolde at ligge på. Så er det frostvejr, så find andefjerene frem.
• Hvis du har mulighed for det, så parker bilen et sted med læ.
• Det kan være dejligt med toiletfaciliteter om vinteren. Det satte Anne Marie især pris på. Det var også skønt med et varmt bad efter en lang, kold dag i mosen.
• Hvis du er lidt usikker på din egen formåen eller dit udstyr, så kan du lave en testtur tæt på dit hjem. Så kan du jo køre hjem i varmen, hvis det ikke lige går som planlagt. Vi valgte at trodse vores eget råd og køre 400 km og tage tre nætter i streg. Vi mente selv, at vi var uovervindelige.

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft began with a quarterback and ended with a wide receiver. Fitting for a night that was all about the offenses.

With their first No. 1 pick in 77 years, the Chicago Bears selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams, hoping to finally find their franchise QB. Williams set off a record run of six quarterbacks over the first 12 picks, including Jayden Daniels (Commanders, No. 2), Drake Maye (Patriots, No. 3), Michael Penix Jr. (Falcons, No. 8), J.J. McCarthy (Vikings, No. 10) and Bo Nix (Broncos, No. 12).

A record 23 offensive players were taken over 32 picks, including seven wide receivers. The first defender did not come off the board until No. 25.

Behind the Penix pick

Why would Atlanta use their eighth pick in the draft on a QB?

The team believes they won’t have a top pick with Kirk Cousins under center the next few years, and now is the time to get a great one.

Xavier Legette's fantasy comp is …

DK Metcalf ceiling with Rashid Shaheed floor. That gives you an idea of his potential, and Xavier Legette can add value in the return game. The Panthers haven't seen Terrace Marshall develop the way they want, and Jonathan Mingo struggled more than expected and might already be down the depth chart. Legette can step in as the No. 3 behind Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen, or even push Thielen in 2024 for the No. 2 role. He'll also help Bryce Young improve, though, Young needs to take a big step forward for all of the receivers to hold value. I could see Legette posting Josh Reynolds numbers (40-608-5) as a rookie, which makes him a WR5, but he has future WR3 potential, as early as 2025.

Conference breakdown for the first round: SEC 11; Pac-12 8; ACC 4; Big Ten 4; Big 12 3; MAC 1; Independent 1

Positional breakdown: OL 9; WR: 7; QB 6; Edge: 5, CB: 3; DT: 1; TE: 1; RB 0; LB: 0; Safety: 0; ST: 0.

How Xavier Legette fits in Carolina

The Panthers move up one spot, entering the first round to snag help for Bryce Young in the form of big South Carolina X-receiver Xavier Legette. A 6-1, 222-pounder with 4.39 speed and a 40-inch vertical, Legette is a powerful blend of speed and explosion who looks and runs a lot like Seattle star DK Metcalf.

There are concerns, however. He made 71 catches for 1,255 yards and seven touchdowns last year. In his previous four years of college, Legette made 42 catches. He’s 23 and not a consistent route runner. Legette is a credible deep threat who will provide help as a returner, but there were better receivers here for Carolina in my opinion. Texas' Adonai Mitchell and Georgia's Ladd McConkey are two that come to mind.

Fantasy rushing production gets first-round upgrade without running backs

One of the main takeaways of the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is that no running backs were selected.

From a fantasy football perspective, this may seem like a downgrade for the ground game, but the reality is that nine of the first 29 picks of this draft were offensive linemen. In addition, Jayden Daniels is cut from a similar rushing quarterback mode as Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts and thus adds another potential dual-threat QB1 candidate.

Combine that with the heavy emphasis on upgrading offensive lines and it shows that NFL teams are still likely to continue the recent transition towards leaning on the ground game more and more often. Fantasy managers should keep this in mind when building teams, as RB values have increased recently due to this and are still likely to ascend.

Round 1, Pick 32: Panthers draft South Carolina WR Xavier Legette

The Carolina Panthers drafted South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette with the No. 32 pick after a trade with the Buffalo Bills.

The Athletic NFL Draft expert Dane Brugler on Legette: A four-year starter at South Carolina, Legette was an inside/outside receiver in offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains’ scheme (64.6 percent wide, 34.0 percent slot in 2023). A quarterback out of necessity as a senior in high school, he was raw when he joined the Gamecocks and didn’t break out until his fifth season (he and Malik Nabers were the only two SEC players to average more than 100 yards receiving per game in 2023).

Legette is at his best on runway routes (verticals, posts, crossers) or sweeps and end-arounds that get his long-striding acceleration going. He doesn’t consistently shake tight man coverage, but he will use his size to play strong through contact.

Overall, Legette needs to continue developing his route proficiency and tempo, but his film gives off DK Metcalf vibes, and he has the explosive speed and physicality to be a matchup weapon. He should be an immediate contributor on special teams before competing for starting reps outside.

Fantasy implications: Ricky Pearsall raises questions for San Francisco

The trade speculation — Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel — will start, and if one is moved, Ricky Pearsall can be a WR4 as a rookie with numbers similar to Darius Slayton (50-770-4). Honestly, the touchdown mark is low in this offense, but again, that's if Aiyuk or Samuel is gone. As it stands with both on the roster, Pearsall is a 2025 and beyond value. He's buried, as we haven't even mentioned the volume for Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Pearsall likely won't be more than a WR5/6 with around 35-40 receptions and 500+ yards, as the roster currently stands.

Grading Ricky Pearsall to 49ers at No. 31

This feels like either a reach or an insurance policy in case Brandon Aiyuk ends up getting dealt. Florida receiver Ricky Pearsall will make some tough catches and could wind up running plenty of interior routes alongside tight end George Kittle.

A five-year veteran with three seasons at Arizona State and his final two at Florida, Pearsall (6-1, 189) has built a reputation for his toughness and ability to haul in difficult catches. Last year with the Gators, Pearsall caught 65 balls for 965 yards (14.8 yards per catch) and four scores. As a junior, Pearsall averaged 20.0 yards per catch (33-661) with five scores. At the combine, Pearsall ran a 4.41-second 40 and had a 42-inch vertical jump.

Trade! Bills move down again

The Buffalo Bills will not pick in the first round.

The Carolina Panthers — who did not have a pick entering the night — have moved up a pick to No. 32.

The Bills received pick Nos. 33 and 141 for Nos. 32 and 200.

Round 1, Pick 31: 49ers draft Florida WR Ricky Pearsall

The San Francisco 49ers selected Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 pick.

The Athletic NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler on Pearsall: A two-year starter at Florida, Pearsall was schemed across the formation in head coach Billy Napier’s offense, doing most of his work (62.0 percent) from the slot. After three seasons at Arizona State, including time spent learning from Brandon Aiyuk in 2019, he moved on to Gainesville in 2022 and had a career season in ‘23, leading the Gators in receiving.

With his play speed and footwork, Pearsall earned the nickname “Slick Rick,” because of the rhythmic movements he uses to shake free in his routes or make a defender miss in the quick game. Though he can be outmuscled at times versus press or at the top of routes, he has Velcro hands and never shies from attacking throws that lead him into impending contact.

Overall, Pearsall wasn’t a home-run hitter on tape, but he is a reliable receiving option with the route quickness and ball skills to quickly become a favorite target for an NFL quarterback. He has the skill set and toughness to work inside or outside and return punts at the next level.

Nate Wiggins was the top-ranked corner on the Football GM Podcast, ahead of Quinyon Mitchell. He lands in Baltimore, which is a very good place for defensive players to land.

Round 1, Pick 30: Ravens draft Clemson CB Nate Wiggins

The Baltimore Ravens selected Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins with the 30th pick.

The Athletic NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler on Wiggins: A two-year starter at Clemson, Wiggins was an outside cornerback in defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin’s scheme. An ascending player throughout his time with the Tigers, he combined for 25 passes defended in 23 games over the last two seasons and allowed just 43.9 percent completions when targeted in 2023. (Two of his three career interceptions came against Drake Maye).

Wiggins moves with quiet, controlled feet/hips to seamlessly transition out of breaks and accelerate to top gear (allowed only one catch of 20-plus yards on 41 targets in 2023). Though he needs to improve his consistency as a run defender, he shows tremendous effort in pursuit and had two chase-down forced fumbles that saved touchdowns in 2023 (Miami and North Carolina).

Overall, Wiggins’ slight frame and suspect play strength are legitimate concerns, but he is a fast and fluid athlete with the cover awareness and on-ball production to be a starting perimeter corner in the NFL. He projects as a longtime NFL starter with tools like those of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Grading Tyler Guyton to Cowboys at No. 29

Dallas had a big hole at two spots — center and right tackle — and the Cowboys opted to fill the hole on the outside with Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton. It’s an upside move with Guyton, who could start at right tackle and perhaps flip to left tackle within time. Or, if he reaches his potential, he could form a solid tandem with Tyler Smith.

Still raw and developing, Guyton earned 15 career starts at TCU and Oklahoma before declaring for the draft. He started 13 games at right tackle and one at left tackle for the Sooners, while opening one game at tight end for TCU. Guyton (6-7 ½, 322) has the requisite body for an NFL tackle with 34 1/8-inch arms. It might take him some time, but his upside is immense,

Best available players at end of first round

With three picks to go in the first round, here are Dane Brugler's 10 best available players :

• Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson

2. Clemson CB Nate Wiggins

3. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean

4. Illinois DT Jer'Zhan Newton

5. Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry

6. Georgia WR Ladd McConkey

7. Western Michigan edge Marshawn Kneeland

8. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell

9. West Virginia C Zach Frazier

10. Florida State WR Keon Coleman

Round 1, Pick 29: Cowboys draft Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton

The Dallas Cowboys selected Oklahoma offensive tackle Tyler Guyton with the No. 29 pick.

The Athletic NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler on Guyton: A two-year starter at Oklahoma, Guyton was the starting right tackle in former offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby’s inside-zone, gap-focused scheme. A basketball-focused athlete much of his life, he moved to the offensive line while at TCU and later developed into a starter for the Sooners, protecting Dillon Gabriel’s blindside at right tackle.

A nimble big man, Guyton stays square to pass rushers with balanced lateral steps to easily redirect, and he does a great job working into open space with remarkable range (NFL scout: “The OU coaches just marvel at him. They call him different than everyone else they’ve had.”). He stays controlled with his punch to be a sticky blocker, although his accuracy and fit entry are underdeveloped, and his overall timing is not yet a strength to his game.

Overall, Guyton is a work in progress in several areas and a steep learning curve should be expected for his rookie season, but he has the athletic tools and fundamental skills to develop into a high-level offensive tackle. He has the talent to play left or right tackle, although his comfort level is clearly on the right side. As long as he stays motivated and healthy, he will continue on an upward trajectory.

What Xavier Worthy brings to Kansas City

(Photo: Tim Warner / Getty Images)

Patrick Mahomes has yet to meet a player he can overthrow. We’ll see if Xavier Worthy gives him a run for his money. The Chiefs moved up from 32 to 28 to snag the fastest player in the draft in the form of the former Texas receiver. Worthy set the combine record with a 4.21 40-yard dash earlier this spring and will enter Kansas City’s offense with electric speed from the get-go.

This feels like a very good fit for Kansas City’s offense and for Mahomes in general, as Worthy is very dynamic with the ball in his hands. However, he’s also very small at just 165 pounds. Whether or not he’ll be able to hold up with a high catch volume deep into a season is a fair question. He can be inconsistent with his hands and his play strength will limit some of what he can do a the next level. It’s fair to wonder if Worthy was a first-rounder in this draft, especially with some of the talent on the board. But also tough to hate the fit.

Xavier Worthy's fantasy impact

I know what you're thinking. "The new Chiefs wideout is going to be amazing!" And I get it, especially as my comp for Worthy was DeSean Jackson, especially in his early days when he returned kicks as well. With the Chiefs having inconsistency at the position and Rashee Rice with a suspension looming, Worthy definitely has potential -- just be cautious not to overrate him as fantasy has done with many a wideout in the past. Nevertheless, Worthy has the ability to be their new No. 1, and that's even once Rice returns. Worthy posting a rookie line of 60-for-800 (or more) with a handful of touchdowns is within reach, and that makes him at least a WR4, not to mention the additional value if you score return yards.
