Bryce Boettcher's Oregon bio

Quick breakdown

Boettcher played over 1,200 snaps the last two seasons, including nearly 800 in 2025. He's been a reliable tackler during the span, allowing him to grade out well by PFF's metrics. That ability also helped him limit plays in the passing game, surrendering just 6.0 yards per catch last season, along with forcing an interception and three pass breakups.

Scouting report on Bryce Boettcher

"Two-sport standout at Oregon who passed on a chance to start his baseball career, choosing to pursue an NFL opportunity instead. The former walk-on plays like the chip never left his shoulder. He’s fearless in his downhill approach, which leads to feast-or-famine results in the run game. His size, speed and athleticism are average, but his competitive will and motor cover some of that up. Boettcher profiles as an NFL backup but his special-teams talent could be his ticket to a higher draft slotting." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

They said it

GM Chris Ballard: "We took Bryce from Oregon and another linebacker, athletic, fast. A blue card guy for us, a really special dude. I mean, here's a guy he was drafted by the Astros, ended up walking on, earning it, and has been just a tremendous player for University of Oregon."

Colts' scout Kasia Omilian: "I think Chris has talked about it too, wanting to make the locker room edge year, wanting to improve toughness, wanting to improve competitiveness, right? He does that. He fits all three categories with the way he prepares, but also the way he plays the game. I think the instincts are the best in terms of what he does. They redeem a lot. and I think his buy into special teams early on in his career has already shown that, but what that projects to for us in the league and for us specifically is a big part of what's going to cause him to succeed."

Bryce Boettcher's fit with the Colts

Boettcher bolsters the depth and adds competition at linebacker. The Colts believe he can play both the MIKE and WILL positions, but with CJ Allen on the roster, Boettcher should compete for the WILL linebacker role with Akeem Davis-Gaither.

Jimmy Fallon got a taste of his own medicine Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Tonight Show host appeared courtside at Game 1 of the New York Knicks' second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Little did he know it'd turn into quite the immersive experience.

Few love pranks as much as Fallon, so one of the Knicks players decided to return the favor. The notoriously silly Josh Hart untied Fallon's shoes midgame, prompting a hilarious response from the comedian.

The Knicks rocked the 76ers, 137-98, so Hart and Co. had plenty of time for jokes. Here's a look at Hart's biggest one:

The 76ers bot blown out by the Boston Celtics before rallying back from a 3-1 deficit in Round 1, so New York can't afford to get too complacent.

Let's hope for a more competitive Game 2, which is slated for Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Delhi Capitals take on Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday.

With only four victories in nine outings this season, Axar Patel's side find themselves rooted to seventh place on the points table.

Five defeats in nine games is not an ideal position for any team eyeing the playoffs, and at this stage of the tournament, every single result carries enormous weight.

Delhi are running out of room to manoeuvre, and a slip-up against a resurgent Chennai could make things significantly harder.

Meanwhile, CSK have managed to get three wins from their last five matches, including a dominant victory against their bitter rivals Mumbai Indians.

However, history has rarely been kind to Delhi in this fixture. Across 32 meetings between these two sides, Chennai have come out on top 20 times compared to Delhi's 12.
