'Pittsburgh retained Jaylen Warren despite his career-low 64.3 PFF overall grade last season. He presents a viable option but has never taken on a starting workload in the NFL,' Dalton Wasserman of PFF wrote. 'Former Eagle Kenneth Gainwell also joined the team in free agency, though he's earned a paltry 54.3 PFF overall grade over the past two seasons.
'The brightest ray of hope may be third-round rookie Kaleb Johnson, who earned an 86.7 PFF rushing grade last season and should be a good fit in Arthur Smith's zone run scheme.'
🏈 According to Steel City Star, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth are both still in the top 10 for most career post-season touchdown receptions. They are two of only three players in that top 10 who retired before 2000 (Fred Biletnikoff). They are also the only WR teammates in the top 10 together.
🏈 The Steelers will be making a special announcement next week. Many believe it will be the release of a new Terrible Towel to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its creation.
🏈 A video of Terry Bradshaw complaining about the 'ridiculous' treatment at the airport went viral on social media.
🏈 T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith were tabbed as the best edge rusher duo in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred downplays reported Bryce Harper confrontation: 'We shook hands'
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred would like everyone to stop making a big deal about his reported confrontation with Bryce Harper. Speaking with reporters on Friday after announcing Wrigley Field will host the 2027 MLB All-Star Game, Manfred downplayed a meeting in which the Philadelphia Phillies star reportedly told him he could "get the f*** out of our clubhouse" in response to a mention of the game's economics. When asked about the exchange, Manfred said the reaction was overblown: "I don't talk about those player meetings — let me say this. I think more has been made out of this than needs to be made out of it. Bryce expressed his views, at the end of the meeting, we shook hands and went our separate ways. Just not all that significant. "It was an individual picking a particular way to express himself and I don't think you need to make more out of it than that. Harper was similarly hesitant to discuss the incident after it was reported, but did confirm it took place and added 'I've always been very vocal [in labor discussions], just not in a way that people can see.' The incident occurred amid mounting tension over upcoming collective bargaining agreement, which expires after the 2026 season. It is expected the league will insist on the introduction of a salary cap, which the MLB Players Association has always treated as a non-starter. If both sides hold their ground, the result would likely be a work stoppage that could affect the 2027 season. Manfred reportedly mentioned the word "lockout" in the meeting with the Phillies, and it's never a good sign when the commissioner is planting that seed more than a year in advance. Asked about a contingency plan for a work stoppage on Friday, Manfred again downplayed the possibility: "My contingency plan is to make an agreement with the players and play the '27 season." Few other stakeholders are as optimistic. In March, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said the union believes a lockout is coming. This week, Phillies star Nick Castellanos used an interesting analogy for Manfred's mention of a lockout, via ESPN: "That's nothing to throw around. That's the same thing as me saying in a marriage, 'I think divorce is a possibility. It's probably going to happen.' You don't just say those things." It's been a contentious decade already for the league and union, which got in protracted disputes in both 2020 and the 2021-22 offseason. The latter resulted in both a delayed start to the 2022 season (but no lost games) and the current deal set to expire after 2026.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested this week after reported altercation with boyfriend at SeaTac airport
Team USA sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested on Sunday after reportedly getting into a fight with her boyfriend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a police report obtained by multiple media outlets. Richardson was charged with domestic violence, but the case has since been cleared. According to the report, Richardson got into an argument with her boyfriend, fellow U.S. sprinter Christian Coleman, and began shoving him. Police also said that Richardson threw a pair of headphones at Coleman, per USA TODAY. Police arrested Richardson for fourth-degree domestic violence assault as a result of security camera footage of the incident. Richardson was booked in South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, WA on Sunday evening, according to jail records. She was released on Monday afternoon. Richardson and Coleman went public with their relationship in February, though Coleman reportedly told police that the two have been together for two years. Per the report, Coleman refused to press charges and "declined to be a victim," via The Athletic. USA Track and Field said in a statement to USA TODAY that the organization was aware of the reports, but did not provide any additional comment. Richardson competed in the USA Track and Field championships in Eugene, Oregon, running in the first round of the women's 100 meter race on Thursday. With a time of 11.07 seconds, Richardson came in 11th place, missing the cut for the semifinal race on Friday. She is set to compete in the first round of the women's 200m on Sunday.
