  LOS ANGELES — When the cameras are gone, as trainer Will Hewlett says – and anyone who has been in the orbit will add – Caleb Williams is just one of the guys.
  The quarterback has spent the better part of two months in pre-draft training Florida, by Hewlett’s admission, bounding around the field in old football shorts he’s kept from days at Gonzaga College High in his hometown of Washington, D.C.

  23-04-2024 23:50 via ocregister.com
  
  The Kings anticipated another playoff matchup with the Edmonton Oilers this season and envisioned it as being different from the past two years, when the Oilers sent them to golf tees and fishing boats in successive springs.
  Ahead of Sunday’s Game 2 in Canada, there was little from Friday’s Game 1 to support any turning of the tide.
  For the Kings, there was to be a toothier penalty kill, and during the regular season there was, as their PK ascended from 24th to second in the NHL.

  A strong start, especially offensively, to earn an early advantage over the defending NBA champions.
  What’s followed in both games is that the Nuggets have made adjustments and the Lakers have gotten away from what’s worked earlier in the games, and the offense has bottomed out.

• NFL draft: How might the Rams replenish their defense?

  For the past 10 years, the Rams’ defense has revolved around Aaron Donald. That’s what happens when a defensive lineman commands as much attention as the future Hall of Famer did, sometimes drawing three or even four blockers on a given play.
  But Donald upended that normal with his decision to retire last month. Suddenly, the Rams’ center of gravity is gone, and the defense has to be reimagined.
  That process could begin Thursday with the first round of the NFL draft, with furth
