In his final mock of the 2021 NFL Draft s first round, Charles Davis has the Bengals drafting Joe Burrow s former teammate, Ja Marr Chase, at No. 5 overall, while Oregon s Penei Sewell slides out of the top 10.
What’s the first thing that you think of when you imagine the city of Pittsburgh? For many Steelers fans around the world, images of Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin standing on the sideline, looking intently without a smile at the field in front of them, come to mind. Memories of Troy Polamalu jumping over the offensive line just as the ball is snapped, James Harrison running 100 yards before falling into the end zone on the game’s biggest stage, Terry Bradshaw hitting John Stallworth in stride for a deep touchdown, or Mean Joe Greene, Greg Lloyd, and T.J. Watt terrorizing QBs all afternoon flash before their eyes. The Rooney family, Three Rivers Stadium, Heinz Field, the statue of Franco Harris snatching the ball that hangs in the air just inches above his shoelaces - these are some of the enduring symbols of Pittsburgh that any fan would recognize. This is not to say that the Steelers franchise is the only iconic aspect of Pittsburgh, but there are few organizations in

Kansas City Chiefs legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Will Shields is scheduled to make the team’s selections on night two of the NFL Draft this Friday, April 30. This year’s draft is being held in Cleveland, Ohio.
Night two includes the second and third rounds and the Chiefs hold the 63rd overall pick in the second round and the 94th overall pick in the third round.
We will see if they still hold both picks after night one when the Chiefs are currently set to pick 31st in the first round. A first-round trade-up would likely require at least one of those night-two picks.

Don t you worry when the car dealer tells you THIS is the car for you! , but hasn t listened to your actual transportation needs. Typically absolutes are over sold and end up being further ingrained by the slightest of evidence that they may be right or that they seem to resolve some desire we have. It s how we end up with something we don t really need.
Do we need to get players on the OL? Yes. Pouncey retired, players moved on to other franchises, there was an opening for questioning other players along the line based on the on field results from last season. There is a new OL coach that may or may not bring in a new method. There is a new OC that may bring in a new scheme or add wrinkles to the old one which will have an impact on the OL responsibilities and expectations. We need to shore up the OL

I am actually shocked that somebody hasn t turned the hopelessly inaccurate statement uttered at the early stages of any Steelers broadcast into a drinking game of some sort. Inevitably some broadcaster will rehash the tired narrative about how the Steelers are a smash mouth football team built around a powerful running game and a punishing defense.
That reputation started to evolve over fifty years ago with the hiring of legendary HOF HC Chuck Noll and the first round selection of the face of the franchise Mean Joe Greene. They laid the foundation for what would become the Steel Curtain, a dynasty like no other. They drafted Franco Harris a couple of years later, developed a winning culture by playing a hardnosed brand of football that matched the work ethic of their community, and they never looked back.
