In a move seemingly engineered to make football fans feel old, the son of one of the early 2000s’ most consistent wide receivers has chosen a college for next season. Elijah Burress, a wide receiver in the Class of 2025 at DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, N.J., has committed to Notre Dame. Burress is the son of Plaxico Burress, a Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and New York Jets from 2000–08 and 2011–12. The elder Burress played collegiately at Michigan State from 1998–99; the Spartans defeated the Fighting Irish twice during his…

With Arthur Smith now in place as offensive coordinator, the Steelers continue to make changes to their offensive staff. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported earlier this week that wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson wouldn’t be back next season. The organization was quick to fill that vacancy, as ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler later reported that the Steelers were hiring Jets assistant Zach Azzanni for the job. Latest On Steelers Coaching Staff February 10th, 2024 at 12:11pm CST • By Ben Levine With Arthur Smith now in place as offensive coordinator, the Steelers continue to make changes to their offensive staff.…

While Pittsburgh Steelers fans may have had mixed reactions to the hiring of new Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith, the players seem to be thrilled. This is especially true of the Steelers’ top two running backs, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Smith will likely bring an increased focus on the run game, which is good for the duo that has been doing a great job splitting carries the past two seasons. Smith was most recently the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and wasn’t exactly successful during his three seasons there. However, most analysts agree that Smith was an outstanding offensive…

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward won the NFL’s most prestigious individual award on Thursday, claiming the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for on-field excellence and off-the-field dedication for philanthropy and service. Being selected for that individual honor comes with a $250,000 award for charitable contributions to the player’s causes, and a trophy that Heyward accepted on stage in Las Vegas on Thursday. But there’s one more part of the honor that is unique the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Since 2017, the winners of the award have been permitted to wear a patch that…

When you play your entire career for one franchise, we’d imagine it would be hard to even consider putting on another team’s uniform. While it happens every year in every sport, this offseason we could see the Philadelphia Eagles lose one of their most recognizable players via free agency. Twelve years after becoming the 12th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox may have played his final down with the only pro team he’s ever known. He has just one year left on his contract and has a reasonable cap hit of $5.7 million.…

Earlier this week, we polled Steelers fans about what team they were rooting for in Super Bowl 58 and their thoughts on whether a sixth Super Bowl win for the San Francisco 49ers win would impact the Steelers’ legacy. Here’s what they had to say 55% of Steelers fans are cheering for the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. The decision regarding which team to root for in Super Bowl 58 is a challenging one. On one hand, if you’re rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, you’re rooting for the ongoing legacy of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, who have arguably…

Former Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell has expressed his hopes of making a return to the NFL on several occasions. Could he finally make a comeback in 2024 and reunite with one of his former teams? Bell seems hopeful that he will in his latest post on Instagram. He posted a picture of himself in a Steelers uniform and captioned it with, “GREAT PHONE CALL TODAY.” The soon-to-be 32-year-old recently revealed how serious his intentions are in making an NFL comeback in a series of videos he posted on Snapchat over the weekend. “I’m telling…

The Steelers have a few offensive coaching positions to fill after naming Arthur Smith their new offensive coordinator. Could a former Raven fill one of the vacancies? Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan’s Dorin Dickerson believes there’s a strong case for former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. to be the team’s new wide receivers coach after it parted ways with Frisman Jackson, who held the role for the past two seasons. “He’s to the point,” Dickerson said of Smith Sr. “He played that way, and he still acts that way when you see him on NFL Network.…

The NFL Honors recognized several outstanding athletes on Thursday night, handing out yearly awards to the best of the best. However, that wasn’t necessarily the case for every award. Browns DE Myles Garrett was named the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and one stat proves the Associated Press got it wrong. Garrett is the first player to ever win DPOY in a year where he recorded one or fewer sacks over their last six games since sacks became an official stat in 1982, according to TheScore’s Daniel Valente. This isn’t to say Garrett’s 2023 campaign wasn’t impressive as…

Liverpool were forced to shift things around a little this afternoon, as Trent Alexander-Arnold went off injured at half-time. Already without Joe Gomez due to illness and Conor Bradley for compassionate leave, that left the Reds needing to find a new solution at right-back. Without a natural option, Jurgen Klopp turned to Curtis Jones. It was a slightly surprising move from the manager, although Jones has played there once before for Liverpool. In the end, it turned out well, the 23-year-old putting in a solid display against the tricky Wilson Odobert. And in quotes from BBC Sport immediately after the…
