Steelers fans react to first week of training camp
From players reporting to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Wednesday, to four days of practices filled with splash plays, breakout performances, and even a few injuries — Steelers fans made their voices heard on social media.
Following Pro Bowl LB Patrick Queen intercepting Aaron Rodgers on the first throw of team period, one Steelers fan may have slightly overreacted.
Another fan's attention was laser-focused on Steelers rookie Kaleb Johnson — who broke several huge runs at camp.
Rookie QB Will Howard, a massive fan-favorite at camp, had social media abuzz following several big plays in Latrobe — such as this throw to WR Montana Lemonious-Craig.
One of the most talked-about moments on Day 3 of practice was an incredible, leaping interception by CB Jalen Ramsey that has this fan glad the Steelers traded for him.
Here at Steelers Wire, we'll continue providing fans with updates, highlights, and all the biggest takeaways as the second week of training camp approaches.

Popular college football podcast picks Spartans to exceed expectations in 2025
It's predictions season, and one popular college football podcast likes Michigan State to exceed expectations in 2025. Michigan State comes into this season looking to snap a three-year bowl drought, with the Spartans again pegged to be right around the bowl eligibility cutline. But for one popular college football podcast, Michigan State will easily surpass the six win threshold in 2025. The Undergrad CFB podcast released their game-by-game predictions for Michigan State next season and have the Spartans finishing 8-4 overall and 5-4 in Big Ten play. The popular podcast has the Spartans picking up notable wins over Boston College, UCLA, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa this season. I personally have some similar game-by-game predictions that I'll be releasing in the coming weeks ahead of the season. So this prediction from The Undergrad CFB account is not far off from my personal opinion, but definitely is higher on the Spartans than most of the national or regional media. Check out the complete game-by-game predictions below: Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.

Texas A&M Safety Preview-Can A&M's safety group take a step forward in 2025?
The 2025 football season is coming up fast, and there's plenty of excitement surrounding year two under Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko. One of the most scrutinized position groups this season will be the secondary, especially the safeties. Unless you were living under a rock after the bowl game loss to USC, you heard Elko make it immediately clear: he was furious about the team's poor pass coverage and promised significant changes. Unlike the cornerback position coach Elko the only player added to the safety room was true freshman Rashad Johnson Jr. This shows the amount of faith the staff with the player on the roster to improve. Depth Chart Snapshot Player Spotlight Freshmen Class: Rashad Johnson Jr Scheme Fit & Outlook Elko's safeties must deliver: Ratcliffe, as the third safety on the field, unlocks more blitz and disguise options. Anderson remains the brain, Brooks brings the bite, and the depth group offers a mix of experience and upside. This unit won't just hold the line, it'll bait, confuse, and punish if they can put it all together. Final Thoughts There's upside here, but it's all speculative. Ratcliffe adds versatility, and Anderson brings needed stability. Beyond that, Brooks hasn't anchored a full season, Kerr's the only proven depth, and communication issues still hang over the room. If the vets lock in and the younger guys come on fast, this unit could help A&M turn a corner. But for now, the talent's intriguing, the cohesion isn't.

George Pickens takes another shot at Steelers, ESPN analyst fires back
The breakup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver George Pickens wasn't pretty. Pittsburgh gave Pickens several seasons to show he could mature and develop as a player and person but when that didn't happen, the team traded Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Since being traded, Pickens has wasted no time in taking shots at his old team. His latest diatribe was about the Cowboys and how they are known for the Super Bowl as opposed to the Steelers. A misguided take to be sure, and one that ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith couldn't let go without correcting Pickens on his mistake. Smith went after Pickens and the Cowboys, shooting down he notion that the Cowboys are somehow more synonymous with the Super Bowl than the Steelers, given that the Steelers have more Super Bowl wins. If Pickens goes out and has a huge season and the Cowboys are successful, this trade is going to look awful for the Steelers. Pittsburgh is banking on Pickens being more of the same as he has been in Pittsburgh and the team is better without him.
