As a Cleveland native, Kansas passing game coordinator Jim Zebrowski has stuck with the Browns through thick and thin. That included the 2015 season in which John DeFilippo — by that point a veteran NFL quarterbacks coach whom Zebrowski had met through a mutual friend — served as their offensive coordinator. That year, like most this century, did not end particularly well for the Browns, and DeFilippo was ...
Twelve snaps on special teams were a valuable part of Kansas linebacker Malachi Curvey’s first year of college football. “It was good to get a feel for the game speed,” the redshirt freshman said.

Kansas redshirt junior quarterback Cole Ballard doesn’t spend a lot of time on social media: “Nothing good can come from it,” he said. “I learned that a long time ago with my dad.” That is, of course, a reference to Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard, who like anyone else in any prominent (or even relatively insignificant) position for a sports team undoubtedly finds himself the target ...
