Rugby latests updates in 2021 with Mytrendingstories? “Think of the best defenders in Premier League history — John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Nemanja Vidic. [Virgil] Van Dijk is all three players rolled into one.” Those were the words of former Liverpool and England star Jamie Redknapp, according to Goal. A bold statement, but one difficult to argue with given just how excellent the Dutchman has been since his move to Anfield in early 2018. His Terry-esque heart, his Ferdinand-esque brain, and Vidic-esque physicality have transformed Liverpool’s back four into the best in Europe. Should Jurgen Klopp’s side win its first ever Premier League title as expected this season, a lot of credit will, and rightly so, go to Van Dijk.

This ranking may be a little low for some people, and that’s okay. I ranked Davis a little lower due to many things, but the biggest one for me is his lack of playoff success, which can be attributed to many things, such as being on the poorly run Pelicans until this season, his health or bad luck with seeding. Whatever the case is, a top player has to have success on the biggest stage. While Davis hasn’t had that yet, this season is his chance to break through and move up the list. The Lakers are considered to be one of the favorites for the title, and if Davis can stay healthy throughout the playoffs, they certainly have a chance. His health history combined with his lack of postseason success keep him out of the top five for me, but his great counting stats as well as defensive impact give him a strong case. If the Lakers go far this year and in the future, Davis has the chance to really move himself up this list.

Joshua, whose fights are shown on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK, reportedly earned $60m for his rematch against American Andy Ruiz Jr last December, which was made up largely by the site fee for the fight to be held in Saudi Arabia. Fury also took part in a WWE event in Saudi Arabia last October, and released a best-selling autobiography a month later, but he lags behind Joshua when it comes to endorsements. Joshua’s impressive portfolio of brands includes Under Armour, Jaguar Land Rover, Beats, Sky Sports and Hugo Boss, and according to Forbes endorsements were worth $11m to Joshua (more than the $7m Fury earned).

I’m looking for a Rory who strikes genuine fear into opponents. I’m looking for a Rory who uses his amazing power — he’s been either first or second in driving distance in each of the last four years on the PGA Tour (including the abbreviated 2020 season) — to dominate fields over an extended period of time. I’m looking for a Rory who gets out of the gate early, dons a green jacket, completes the career slam and establishes himself as the best player ever from his side of the pond. McIlroy is the perfect ambassador — he’s easy to root for, he’s considerate, he spends time with adoring fans and he’s as charitable as they come.

Let’s set aside for now the question of Cook’s reported intention to hold out heading into his contract year, as well as the observation made by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that the new collective bargaining agreement would make a holdout “virtually prohibitive.” Yards after contact and yards after the catch are two categories in which Cook really drove his value, and he projects to continue driving even more value there going forward. His ability to earn chunk yardage showed up in the fact that he logged 73 rushes of at least 15 miles per hour, the most among RBs in 2019 — only Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had more. Reaching these speeds often means having and/or finding open lanes and forcing missed tackles. Last season, Cook earned 10 touchdowns on rushes outside the tackles, tying Derrick Henry for the most in the NFL, per NGS.
