Steelers RB Jaylen Warren's wild training video goes viral
Video of Warren doing sprints while dragging a tipped-over soccer goal is going viral. A quick Google search tells us it's not unusual for a goal like this to weigh 150-250 pounds. Warren looks to be in tremendous shape and bigger than he played at last season.
Warren has plenty of motivation this season. Warren is listed as the starting running back but the team drafted running back Kaleb Johnson to compete for the starting job. Warren is also in the final year of his current contract and a big season could help him land a significant raise in the offseason.
The Steelers kick off training camp on July 23 with players reporting at Saint Vincent College. Pittsburgh's first preseason game is August 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their first game of the regular season is September 7 against the New York Jets.

Jets' Sauce Gardner Aims To Trick A 'Wizard' In Week 1 vs. Aaron Rodgers' Steelers originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Advertisement Richer. Bigger. Trickier. Rodgers, of course, spent the last two seasons with the Jets before he was dumped this offseason, and now he and the Steelers will be visiting MetLife Stadium to play his former team in the season opener. The Jets have made major changes in many ways, but a featured guy remains cornerback Sauce Gardner, who recently told ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show that he's "looking forward to the challenge" of opposing Rodgers in large part due to the brain game of football. "He might think he knows all the tendencies that I have, but this offseason has really been me trying not to give nothing away," Gardner said.

Eagles Fans Tempted by T.J. Watt Trade Rumors but Reality Says Otherwise
Eagles Fans Tempted by T.J. Watt Trade Rumors but Reality Says Otherwise originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The rumor mill never stops churning in Philadelphia, and the latest whispers have Eagles fans salivating over the possibility of acquiring T.J. Watt from Pittsburgh. With the Steelers star reportedly unhappy about his contract situation, it's easy to get caught up in the fantasy of watching one of the NFL's most dominant pass rushers don midnight green. Advertisement But here's the cold, hard truth: trading Nolan Smith for T.J. Watt would be organizational malpractice of the highest order. Yes, Watt is a generational talent and future Hall of Famer. But the Eagles have something far more valuable – a 24-year-old pass rusher who's just scratching the surface of his potential. Smith's playoff breakout last season wasn't a fluke. It was a coming-out party for a player who showed up in the biggest moments when the lights were brightest. The financial mathematics alone should end any serious discussion about this trade. The Eagles are already staring down brutal contract decisions with Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and other young stars needing extensions. Adding Watt's market-resetting demands would force Philadelphia to choose between keeping their young defensive core together or paying one aging superstar. That's not a choice a smart organization should ever have to make. The age factor can't be ignored either. Watt will be 31 when the season starts, while Smith is entering what should be the prime years of his career. The Eagles would be trading away eight years of elite production for maybe three or four years of declining performance. That's not team building – that's roster destruction disguised as an upgrade. Advertisement What makes this potential trade even more puzzling is how unnecessary it would be. The Eagles don't need a superstar acquisition to win another Super Bowl. They've already assembled one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. Adding Watt wouldn't transform them from pretenders to contenders – it would just make an already great team slightly better while mortgaging their future. The real beauty of Smith's situation is his trajectory. Everything about his development suggests he's just getting started. His athleticism is off the charts, his work ethic is unquestioned, and his football IQ continues to grow. The Eagles have invested significant time and resources into his development, and they're finally starting to see the dividends. Championship organizations understand the difference between short-term gratification and long-term success. The Patriots didn't win six Super Bowls by constantly trading away young talent for aging stars. Great teams identify young talent, develop it properly, and then build around it for sustained success. Nolan Smith may not have T.J. Watt's resume yet, but he has something equally valuable: unlimited potential and the drive to reach it. The Eagles would be wise to hold onto that combination and see where it takes them.
