Be sure to read to the bottom for a bonus story from the SI Vault.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;The Jets select....Jameis Winston?&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NFL draft is still four months away, but it's never too early to speculate about potential destinations for the NFL's next wave of rookies. A certain former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback may be on his way to the Big Apple.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Chris Burke.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Three ACL injuries and an NFL dream&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Huskies running back&amp;nbsp;Deontae&amp;nbsp;Cooper has suffered three ACL tears. But despite those setbacks, Cooper is still&amp;nbsp;aiming to make it to the NFL.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Greg Bishop&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Johnny Flaws&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel's first NFL start was a bit of a debacle: Manziel finished 10-of-18 with just 80 passing yards and two interceptions in a 30-0 loss to the Bengals. His first full game under center showed what the quarterback needs to do to elevate his game.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Doug Farrar&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;SI's All-America team&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SI.com's 2014 college football All-America team unsurprisingly includes Heisman Trophy winner Marcus&amp;nbsp;Mariota. But&amp;nbsp;who else made the cut?\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;The rise of Nikola&amp;nbsp;Vucevic&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the Magic traded away Dwight Howard during the summer of 2012, Orlando received relatively unknown center Nikola&amp;nbsp;Vucevic&amp;nbsp;in their return haul of prospects. Improbably,&amp;nbsp;Vucevic&amp;nbsp;has risen from anonymous seven-footer to a&amp;nbsp;franchise center on the verge of stardom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Lee Jenkins&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Tennis by the numbers&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roger Federer&amp;nbsp;won 73 ATP Tour matches. An astonishing 36 players over the age of 30 were at one point ranked in the ATP Top 100. Re-live the 2014 tennis season through a numerical breakdown.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Courtney Nguyen&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;No longer a joke&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Lions have long been an NFL punchline, but suddenly Detroit looks like a contender. After 14 years with the Lions, center Dominic Raiola has seen more futility than most NFL players. But after years of almost constant losing, Raiola finally expects to win.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Michael Rosenberg&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;The danger of blood clots&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hockey world has recently been abuzz over the mumps, a disease that has found its way into a number of NHL locker rooms. But another medical issue deserves attention: Blood clots are proving to be&amp;nbsp;one of the most dangerous conditions for NHL players and other athletes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Sarah Kwak&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Thierry bids adieu&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thierry Henry retired this week after a legendary career spent with Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and France's national team. His game was defined by pace, touch, imagination, finishing ability and a penchant for winning -- but mainly, it was defined by grace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Jonathan Wilson&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;The evolution of Tyson Chandler&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Tyson Chandler entered the NBA in 2001 as a much-hyped high school prospect, he had all the raw materials seemingly necessary for success. But after an underwhelming start to his career, Chandler has carefully refined his game to become a quality big man.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Rob Mahoney&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;SI Vault: Moment of Truth&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was no action in the TCU locker room before the 1957 Cotton Bowl, but what Marvin Newman photographed there is as close to the essence&amp;nbsp;of sports as anything that happens on a playing field.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;By Gary Smith.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
