DALLAS -- Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy knows Mason Rudolph has to feel better physically, even without talking to the junior quarterback about how he feels.Rudolph played the second half of a game with a broken foot late last season, then got in only one series in the regular-season finale against Oklahoma before playing far from fully healthy in the Sugar Bowl. The Cowboys lost all three of those games after a 10-0 start.When we finished spring ball, he was very close to being pain free, Gundy said Monday, the first day of Big 12 football media days.I would guess that he feels like he did prior to the injury, and hes had a really good summer. ... He looks really good. His strength levels are the highest theyve ever been.While the Cowboys get a healthy Rudolph back, TCU has former Texas A&M transfer Kenny Hill and sophomore Foster Sawyer competing to succeed dual-threat quarterback Trevone Boykin.Its going to be a healthy (competition). They improved this spring, Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said. Im kind of excited about this season.Oklahoma State and TCU finished tied for second in the conference last season behind champion Oklahoma, which is the overwhelming preseason pick this season to win its 10th Big 12 title after last season becoming the leagues first team to make the new College Football Playoff. The Horned Frogs and Cowboys are picked to finish second and third, respectively, in that media poll.The Sooners will be among five teams to take part Tuesday in the second day of media days, joining Baylor, Kansas State, Texas and West Virginia.Baylor was still prominent Monday, with Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby addressing several questions about the sexual assault scandal that led to the departure of coach Art Briles, plus the demotion of school President Ken Starr and resignation of athletic director Ian McCaw.Mack Rhoades, who had been at Missouri the past 15 months, was introduced as Baylors new AD in Dallas.Also Monday at Big 12 football media days:HEAVY HEART: Second-year Kansas coach David Beaty, whose late father was a retired Dallas police officer, said he was excited to be home, but that his heart hurts for Dallas and other communities across the country that are suffering and in pain.The Big 12 media days are at the Omni Dallas, a downtown Dallas hotel only a couple of blocks from where a shooter killed five officers on July 7, after police-involved shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Minnesota the previous two days. Then on Sunday, three Baton Rouge law enforcement officers investigating a report of a man with an assault rifle were killed.I pray that we will begin to listen to one another, love one another and get to the hard work of healing our nation, to the issues that were facing right now, Beaty said.I believe that college football can be an example in the midst of our struggles in America. Young men from all walks of life, different backgrounds coming together, listening to one another, working hard together, learning from one another, fighting together for a common goal. I think society can learn a lot from these young and Im excited about working with some of them at KU.OFF THE DIAMOND: Patrick Mahomes has gone from two-sport athlete at Texas Tech to standout starting quarterback.After leading the nation with 393 total yards per game last season, the dual-threat quarterback gave up baseball to focus solely on the gridiron. Coach Kliff Kingsbury expects that to make Mahomes a more refined, athletic and polished quarterback.Its the first full offseason hes ever had as a football player ... the weight room, film with his teammates, working on mechanics and working on his footwork, Kingsbury said.He worked on becoming a better all-around quarterback and last year made spectacular plays, really carried us at times, moving around and making things happen. This year, were going to work on things with him, when the ordinary play is there lets take it. When you have to be extraordinary, you have that ability to go do it.Mahomes father, Pat, played for six different teams over 11 seasons in Major League Baseball.The younger Mahomes, who appeared in three Tech baseball games during the 2015 season, threw for 4,653 yards while 36 touchdowns last fall while running for 456 yards and 10 touchdowns.NEW KID IN TOWN: Matt Campbell was introduced last November as Iowa States head coach on his 36th birthday, and is the youngest head coach for any Power Five conference team.Campbell, 35-15 in the past four-plus seasons at Toledo, supplanted Kingsbury as the youngest Power Five coach.

PHILADELPHIA -- A desire to be perfect has caused anxiety problems for Brandon Brooks.The Philadelphia Eagles starting right guard spoke openly Wednesday about an issue that forced him to miss two of the past three games. Brooks originally thought his condition was a stomach disorder.I have an anxiety condition, not nervousness or fear of the game, Brooks said. I have an obsession with the game. Its an unhealthy obsession right now and Im working with team doctors to get everything straightened out and getting the help that I need.Brooks said the problems causes him to vomit to the point he was hospitalized before Philadelphia played a Monday night game against Green Bay on Nov. 28. Brooks also experienced the symptoms before last Sundays game against Washington.The 27-year-old Brooks is now taking medication for the anxiety issues and is also seeing a counselor.Im not ashamed of it, Brooks said. Im getting the help I need. Im taking steps now. First, once youve got an issue or problem, youve got to admit it. I admit it, I accept it, I own it. Get the medication I need to tone it down, talk to somebody, figure out why Im constantly searching to be perfect.Brooks signed a $40 million, five-year contract with the Eagles after four seasons in Houston. He started the first 10 games in his first season in Philadelphia before sitting out two of the next three games.ddddddddddddFor me, its just I always want to be perfect in what I do and if Im not perfect its not good enough, and sometimes that just really weighs on you, he said. I have to learn how to kind of chill out and understand its OK to make mistakes. Its OK to not be perfect.Brooks was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer when he experienced similar symptoms playing for the Texans. He sought help after the recent episodes.I thought it was something physical in my stomach, so I didnt know it could possibly be something else, he said. What happens is, I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning -- not to be too graphic -- but uncontrollable vomiting and theres nothing the doctors can give me once it happens that stops it. It goes for a full 24 hours. Thats what happens.Brooks expects to play Sunday when the Eagles (5-8) visit Baltimore (7-6).The organization has been great, theyve supported me with this, my teammates have rallied around me, Brooks said.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
