The Latest: Hernandez defense seeks dismissal of documents

FALL RIVER, Mass. – The Latest on defense attorneys efforts to erase Aaron Hernandez’s murder conviction in light of his death (all times local): 9 a.m. Lawyers for Aaron Hernandez have asked the judge to disregard documents included with the state’s opposition to the dismissal of his murder conviction. The defense said in a filing before Tuesday’s hearing that the documents which include the state’s death certificate and excerpts from a suicide note the former New England Patriots tight end wrote to his fiancee are irrelevant to the proceedings. The defense asked that its motion be heard at the same time the judge considers whether to erase Hernandez’s conviction. Hernandez was found hanged

Ezekiel Elliott wants to be a “more dominant” second-level runner

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said recently that he thinks the team just scratched the surface of what it is capable of doing while going 13-3 during the 2016 season and his fellow 2016 rookie sensation has identified one area where he can do more. Running back Ezekiel Elliott led the league in rushing during his first NFL season and had the most runs of 20-plus yards of any player in the league to help him get to that spot, so it wouldn’t seem that he had problems getting to the second level or making things happen once he got there. “I just want to work on being a more dominant, second-level runner,” Elliott said, via the team’s website. “I think a couple of times last year I could’ve been more elusive when I got to the second level.

Lions to finish 9-7 again? SI's Jonathan Jones thinks so

Sports Illustrated‘s Jonathan Jones has a very good point about the Lions, and a very good question. “[Detroit Lions head coach Jim] Caldwell has delivered two winning seasons in three years for the first time since 1995–97,” Jones wrote on Wednesday morning. But the question he followed that point with was telling: “Can Matt Stafford build on the best year of his career?” The answer, Jones wrote in his 32-team, 256-game prediction of how the NFL season will go, is no—at least not in terms of wins and losses. Jones, who admirably stuck to the schedule and predicted the result of each game rather than guesstimate a record or each team, projected Detroit to finish 9-7 for the second straight year.

Wilkerson 'guarantees' Jets will win more than five games in 2017

Ralph Vacchiano, NFL Insider | Facebook | Twitter | Archive As bad as things were for the New York Jets last season, most people think things are about to get even worse. But not Muhammad Wilkerson. He sees something different. After a miserable 5-11 season, he sees the Jets on the way back up. “The team will definitely be positive and do more things better than we did last year — I can guarantee that,” Wilkerson said on Tuesday night. “We’ll have more wins than we did last year. That’s a fact.” Granted, as far as guarantees go, vowing to hit the six-win mark isn’t exactly going out on a limb. But with the Jets dumping veterans left and right and embarking on a near-total rebuilding job, positive
