Running back is among a multitude of Pittsburgh Steelers position battles to watch this summer. Jaylen Warren proved he could produce with more reps last year. Now, he’s joined by Rico Dowdle, who will compete for a starting role of his own. Both are physical rushers who bring plenty of intensity to their respective games. […]

It is hard for defensive backs to get their hand on the football in the modern NFL. Interception rates have been declining for years and are down noticeably from even a decade ago. With that context, veteran CB Trevon Diggs’ 2021 season stands out even more as a remarkable accomplishment. In his second season, he snared an NFL-leading 11 interceptions, taking two of them back for touchdowns as a little cherry on top. No one else has hit double-digit picks since.

Of course, 2021 was a long time ago. Diggs tore his ACL in 2023 and hasn’t played a full...

The Cincinnati Bengals‘ affection for Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson was one of the worst-kept secrets of draft season, but just like with Andri Iosivas a few years back, they somehow managed to land him on Day 3 without another team swooping in to take him just before their pick.

Let’s take a look to see what the Bengals like in Robinson.

Robinson may be undersized, but as you can see in this first clip, that doesn’t stop this Midshipman from dropping anchor and spitting the double team without giving up any ground. His natural leverage is evident.

In the...

The Panthers placed right tackle Taylor Moton and cornerback Jaycee Horn on the active/non-football injury list yesterday. More procedural moves have taken place today.

Carolina announced on Tuesday that left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton have each been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list. Like all players on active/PUP at the start of training camp, they can be activated at any time. The same is also true of defensive tackle Bobby Brown, who joins Moton and Horn on the Panthers’ active/NFI list.

Ekwonu continues to recover from the torn patellar tendon he suffered in Carolina’s...

There are plenty of reasons for optimism around the New York Giants as training camp approaches.

One of the biggest reasons for optimism as we march toward training camp? The youth on the Giants’ roster. In fact, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz ranks the Giants ninth in the NFL in terms of talent under the age of 25. The Giants feature one of the youngest rosters in the NFL and will be looking to their youngsters as contributors in every position group.

The Giants have had a relatively young team for a while now, though that was masked by age outliers like...

Troy Dye is a born-and-bred California boy who grew up in Norco, CA and attended Norco High School. There, he was a productive safety, racking up over 200 tackles and five interceptions across his junior and senior seasons. He’d graduate as a three-star prospect who earned First-Team All-CIF and All-State honors before committing to play his collegiate ball at the University of Oregon.

Dye saw the field right away for the Ducks as he started nine of 11 games in 2016. He led the team with 92 total...

When New England Patriots training camp opens at the end of the week, there’s going to be one position group that a lot of eyes are going to be on, and rightfully so. There’s probably not a bigger question mark on the team right now than the offensive line.

The possible outcomes for this group are wildly different, and, depending on who you ask, people either feel a lot better about last year, about the same, or, in some cases, even worse. In this week leading up to camp, I’m going to do a deep dive into each position along...

ESPN’s Aaron Schatz put together a ranking of the players under 25 years old on each team in the NFL. Jets fans may be pleased to learn that the team rated highly. Schatz put them 7th overall.

7. New York Jets

Last year’s rank: 28

Blue chips: Edge David Bailey, OT Armand Membou

Notable graduated players: RB Breece Hall, G Joe Tippmann

Here’s our first team that doesn’t have a young quarterback, unless you want to count 22-year-old fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik. No, the leader of the youth for the Jets is No....

The Los Angeles Rams won’t know if Aaron Donald is returning until Aaron Donald makes a final decision, but head coach Sean McVay is clearly ready to welcome the defensive tackle back with open arms if he wants to play in 2026. After weeks of speculation that Donald could return to the Rams following the trade for Myles Garrett, McVay sounded like Vin Diesel talking about family in the Fast and the Furious movies when he was asked about AD’s potential un-retirement:

“I have crossed paths with Aaron Donald,” McVay said in an interview with Jason LaCanfora of The...

On Wednesday, the Carolina Panthers made a series of roster moves in preparation for training camp, which officially started today. The moves:

• Ikem Ekwonu was placed on the PUP list as he recovers from a torn patella tendon suffered in the playoffs
• Tershawn Wharton was placed on the PUP list as he recovers from neck surgery
• Bobby Brown III was placed on the non-football injury list with a hamstring injury

The trio join Jaycee Horn and Taylor Moton, who were reportedly destined for the NFI list on Tuesday.

Horn and Brown aren’t expected to miss much time....

Figuring out the outside linebacker rotation is one of a few difficult decisions the new Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff has to make. T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and even second-year man Jack Sawyer, all have their own argument for more playing time. Watt has long been a player who’s hardly ever come off the […]
