Bills DE Bradley Chubb had an interesting assessment of DC Jim Leonhard‘s coaching style when asked by reporters what he thought of his style, given that they have a rapport from their time together with the Broncos.
“I would say a ‘quiet assassin’ man,” Chubb told WKBW. *“He’s like not gonna say too many words when he speaks volumes, everybody listens. He always gives a reason for why we doing stuff. We might put it in a certain defense, but he breaks down exactly why we doing it, what we doing for, and how he expects to see...

The Pittsburgh Steelers struck gold with fourth-round guard Mason McCormick in 2024, stepping in and playing nearly 1,000 snaps in his rookie season. That isn’t the norm for picks outside the top two rounds. Could late third-round rookie Gennings Dunker follow suit with an open competition for one of Pittsburgh’s two guard spots this year? […]

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it’s a judge in Texas reinstating eligibility for Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby for the 2026 college football season, despite him admitting to gambling on games his team, then Indiana, played in. Sorsby will now not enter the supplemental draft, and will instead be part of the quarterback-laden 2027 NFL Draft class, unless the NCAA quickly wins an appeal.
Alan breaks it down:

The Atlanta Falcons have two defenders who were viewed as hyper-promising pieces of the puzzle as recently as 2024. Bralen Trice was a well-rounded third round draft selection and Troy Andersen was entering his third season with a chance to put inconsistency and injury behind him.
Since then, it’s been nothing but disaster. Andersen hit the shelf after seven games in 2024, including a triumphant effort against the Saints, and hasn’t appeared in a game since Week 14 of that season. Trice was injured in the summer of 2024 and has yet to appear in an NFL regular season game,...

The Pittsburgh Steelers just extended EDGE Nick Herbig, who forms one of the NFL’s strongest trios at the position with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. How this looks moving forward remains to be seen. The goal of this article is to look at some pass rush and run defense stats, giving context to what went […]

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Omarion Hampton out of North Carolina with the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Much of Hampton’s rookie year was spent on the sidelines as he missed eight games due to injury. He had a decent statistical season with 124 carries for 545 yards and four touchdowns in nine games, but his overall production pushed him out of the first round in Bleacher Report writer Gary Davenport’s 2025 NFL redraft.
Instead of Hampton, the Chargers were projected to select Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts, who was a third-round pick chosen by the Atlanta...
Bolts From The Blue
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of questions on defense, with many of them having the same theme. They have several players who offer intriguing upside, but it’s contingent on other factors. Can young players take the next step? How will these guys do absorbing Christian Parker’s new defense? And what type of players can they be if they can regain a clean bill of health and play to their full potential? So many ‘what ifs’ on the menu.
The range of outcomes for this Cowboys defense is quite wide, but there have been some promising reports out of the...

The post-draft period of the offseason was understandably viewed by Atlanta as the time to work out extensions with Drake London and Bijan Robinson. One of those has already been taken care of, and the other could be in place relatively soon.
The Falcons have engaged in talks on an extension with Robinson, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports. London found himself first on the list with respect to a big-ticket second contract being worked out. Instead of seeing out his fifth-year option season in 2026, London will begin playing on a four-year extension worth up to $150MM this fall.

Pro Football Rumors
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Eagles are hosting veteran WR James Proche for a tryout at mandatory minicamp this week.
Proche, 29, was a sixth-round pick by the Ravens out of SMU back in the 2020 draft.
He was in the third year of his four-year rookie deal when the Ravens opted to release him as a part of their final roster cuts ahead of the 2023 season. He later caught on with the Browns’ practice squad and was elevated to the active roster.
Cleveland re-signed him to a one-year deal in 2024 and he signed a one-year deal...
NFL Trade Rumors
It seems it’s never too early to start wondering who’s next behind center for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The popular idea has been that Mike McCarthy will find Aaron Rodgers’ successor in next year’s 2027 NFL Draft, in what promises to be a deep signal-caller class.
With recent news that Baker Mayfield has put a deadline on a new deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, plans could change, sports talk show host Zach Gelb believes.
“If I’m Baker, I’m kinda hungry for more, and I don’t think Tampa Bay is anywhere close to being a Super Bowl contending team again,” [Gelb...
When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Penn State’s Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the expectation was it was a long-term bet from first-year head coach Mike McCarthy, who handpicked the big, strong quarterback to try and develop. Ideally, Allar is the Steelers’ QB3 in 2026 behind Aaron Rodgers and one […]
