🏈 New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner said Justin Fields has been making Aaron Rodgers-level throws this offseason
“There’s only a certain amount of quarterbacks that can make [certain throws]. I’m talking about throws on, like, Aaron [Rodgers’] type of level. When it comes to being able to squeeze those throws in there, I always thought Aaron was the best when it came to that. And it’s like Justin had made a few throws where I’m like, ‘OK, he really been in the lab, for real.’ I could just tell,” Gardner said on The Pat McAfee Show.
🏈 Brooke Pryor of ESPN believes Calvin Austin III will be the biggest surprise player for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025.
“Since trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, the Steelers are squarely in need of a No. 2 wide receiver to complement DK Metcalf. WR coach Zach Azzanni, though, believes they already have someone in the building to fill that role. ‘I think that ‘2’ spot is all Calvin’s right now,’ Azzanni said during the Steelers’ minicamp.
“Selected 86 picks after Pickens in 2022, Austin missed his entire rookie year with an injury but has turned into a steady contributor in each of his last two seasons. Austin was just behind Pickens last season, averaging 15.2 yards per reception, and he hauled in four touchdowns to Pickens’ three. Austin still has to build chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he made plays throughout the Steelers’ OTAs and minicamp with Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and Will Howard throwing him the football.”
