Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger says the quiet part out loud about Minkah Fitzpatrick trade
Minkah Fitzpatrick may not be a Pittsburgh Steeler anymore — but that hasn't stopped the legendary Ben Roethlisberger from defending his play regarding the recent splash plays narrative. Many speculated that Fitzpatrick's lack of production played a role in facilitating his trade to the Miami Dolphins — and while Roethlisberger didn't deny that as a possibility, he argued that a downward trend in splash plays were a poor measure of talent. "[Minkah] set his own bar really high,' Roethlisberger said on Tuesday's episode of his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger. "…As a defensive back — corner, safety — if I'm a cornerback and I don't have a lot of interceptions or pass breakups, a lot of times it's because people don't throw it at me. And that also speaks to how good you are. So maybe his production is down because people just aren't taking those shots." Roethlisberger acknowledged that analytics may paint a different picture — but Big Ben arguably hit the nail right on the head. One could also blame the defensive game plan, as it's unfair to expect interceptions from Fitzpatrick when quarterbacks are throwing away from his side of the field — scheming him out of the game. It hardly matters, though, as Fitzpatrick is heading back to the team that drafted him — while the Steelers have their new cornerback in Jalen Ramsey to potentially replicate their loss at the safety position.

Georgia Tech selects Ryan Alpert as athletic director
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech named Ryan Alpert as its next vice president and director of athletics, the school announced Tuesday. Alpert will replace J Batt, who left to take the same job at Michigan State. Advertisement 'Today's announcement is a reflection of Georgia Tech's commitment to elevating the competitive profile of our athletic programs on par with our academic profile,' Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera said in a news release. 'Ryan Alpert is a dynamic, forward-thinking leader who understands what it takes to build a winning culture on a strong financial foundation. He brings deep operational expertise and a clear passion for student-athlete development. We are thrilled to welcome him to Georgia Tech.' Alpert had several stops on his way to Atlanta, including Missouri, Florida Atlantic and Memphis. He most recently was senior deputy athletics director and chief revenue officer at Tennessee, a position he was promoted to in November 2023. Alpert has a background in revenue generation, which will be a key component for athletic departments following the recently approved House settlement that permits Division I schools to pay athletes up to $20.5 million directly. 'I'm incredibly grateful to President Cabrera and the search committee for the opportunity to serve as the next athletic director at Georgia Tech,' Alpert said in the release. 'As college athletics continues in a period of rapid transformation, I'm excited about all the Institute has to offer and what we can accomplish together. Georgia Tech's visionary leadership, combined with its world-class academics and commitment to competitive excellence, provides a strong foundation for the future. My family and I can't wait to get to Atlanta and join the Yellow Jackets!' Alpert will begin his role with Georgia Tech later this month. ___ AP college sports:

Khary Adams feels 'at home' with Notre Dame
Notre Dame beat out Michigan, Penn State and Oregon for elite cornerback Khary Adams on June 20 ☘️He spoke with @BGInews about picking the Irish ⤵️'After comparing Penn State and Notre Dame, I just felt more comfortable and at home with ND.'Read: Like top safety prospect Joey O'Brien, Khary Adams just feels like Notre Dame is different. The star cornerback, who like O'Brien committed to the Fighting Irish, recently doubled down on his pledge to ND. He said he is "locked in" with the Irish, as both he and O'Brien want to join forces in the same secondary in South Bend. Along with safety Ayden Pouncey, the 2026 DB haul has been quite impressive. After comparing Notre Dame and Penn State, Adams noted that in his decision-making process he "felt more comfortable and at home with ND." A lot of recruits in the 2026 class must feel the same exact way.
