Steelers president Art Rooney's grandson blasts Jalen Ramsey, DK Metcalf as 'headcases'
Patrick Rooney Jr., grandson of Steelers president Art Rooney II, made a guest appearance on Wednesday's Palm Beach Kennel Club Picks podcast. While sharing his thoughts on the recent Steelers-Dolphins blockbuster trade, Pat criticized several of the Steelers' newest additions — referring to them as "headcases":

"Ramsey is kind of a headcase," Pat Rooney said. "And this team is not generally conducive to being able to deal with headcases. AKA, George Pickens, who we just had to get rid of. And you bring in DK Metcalf, who's a little bit like George Pickens — in terms of being a headcase. And now you got another one in there."
A Dolphins writer recently took aim at Ramsey over his on- and off-the-field antics in Miami, while Metcalf — whom the Steelers traded for last March — has previously drawn criticism for his physical altercations with opposing defensive backs during games.
If Ramsey and Metcalf can tune out the noise, they could potentially play massive roles in the 2025 season — helping the Pittsburgh Steelers re-align their postseason aspirations — and maybe even bring a seventh Lombardi home to the Steel City.

Drake Maye skeptic sees 'a lot of hope' with Josh McDaniels returning
Not everyone is a believer in Drake Maye's talent. Count former head coach and New England Patriots former defensive coach Eric Mangini as one of those skeptics. That isn't to say he sees no paths for success in Maye's NFL journey. He is simply skeptical of the talent translating to great effect in the NFL. However, he did recently admit that the Patriots bringing back Josh McDaniels as an offensive coordinator could be a game-changer for the 2024 first-round draft pick. "I am very skeptical about Drake Maye, but I do believe he has his best chance to be successful and have a breakout season with Josh McDaniels," Mangini said on First Things First. "And I do think that Mac Jones owes a lot of his success to Josh McDaniels. If Drake Maye is bright, which is sounds like he is—if he's hard working, which it sounds like he is—he has an opportunity to grow in a substantial way in this offense, which is well put together, well thought out and should lean into a lot of his skill sets. So there's a lot of hope." Mac Jones' best NFL season came in his rookie year with McDaniels as his offensive coordinator. He racked up 3,801 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and earned a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie quarterback. The Patriots had the seventh-ranked scoring offense in the league with Jones under center that year. Of course, that all changed the moment McDaniels accepted the head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders. This will be an opportunity for him to capture some of that same magic again with Maye at quarterback. Maye is a more dynamic playmaker with the ability to impact the game in significantly more ways than Jones ever could. So there is great interest in seeing what that talent looks like married up with McDaniels' offensive concepts. It could change things in a major way for the struggling Patriots offense in 2025.

ESPN NFL survey is latest illustration that Iowa football is TEU
Many others have tried to claim the title, yet few have the evidence and data backing it that the Iowa Hawkeyes do. That title is the one and only "Tight End U," and it belongs to the Hawkeyes with their pipeline of tight ends making the jump to the NFL. The flow of tight ends to wear black and gold only to find success at the next level is as good as it has ever been right now, and the proof comes from a recent NFL survey, which saw Iowa dominate tight end rankings. In a survey from ESPN that polled NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, three former Iowa tight ends appear on the list for the top 10 tight ends in the league. Coming in at No. 2 on the list is one of Iowa's favorite sons, George Kittle. The San Francisco 49ers star tight end has proven that he has both the ability to block and catch, plus the longevity factor of continuing his high level of play for so long. Kittle is aging well. He's coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with a combined 14 touchdowns during that two-year span. Fifty of his 78 catches last season went for a first down. His premier blocking remains unmatched, and he's still tough to bring down, leading all tight ends with 14.2 yards per catch. Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy signed massive contract extensions in tandem this offseason, so they have several years to build upon their chemistry. Kittle caught 83% of Purdy's targets last year. "He's shown that when he's healthy he's the most complete player at the position," an AFC scout said. "Durability is the only thing that's really affected that. He embodies San Francisco's culture and that's why they keep paying him." - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Right on Kittle's heels is a younger tight end talent who has taken over the league and continues to take defenses by storm. At No. 3 of the best tight ends in the NFL is the Detroit Lions' budding star, Sam LaPorta. After bursting onto the scene in his rookie year, his sophomore NFL season saw some bumps that slowed him down but showed no signs of having a lasting effect on his output and production. LaPorta's production dipped in Year 2, when he finished with 60 catches for 726 yards and seven scores. He fought through a knee issue -- a hyperextension and bone bruise -- that slowed momentum. But he's every bit as valuable as he was in 2023, and Detroit had several additional playmakers for whom to find targets. LaPorta is considered a complete tight end with elite feet, niftiness in the red zone and strength to compete every play. "[Lack of production is] not really a factor because Detroit has so many players they need to get the ball to," an NFC executive said. "He's a stud. Will be a cornerstone player for a long time." - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Rounding out the trio of Hawkeye tight ends dominating in the NFL is the Minnesota Vikings' star tight end T.J. Hockenson. After recovering from injuries, Hockenson has responded without missing a beat. He gained more confidence last year, and it showed with his production down the stretch. Hockenson's status within the Vikings' offense was growing before a torn ACL and MCL suffered on a late hit in Week 16 of 2023 stalled that progress. Up to that point, Hockenson's 95 receptions were the 18th most in NFL history among tight ends. Returning close to midseason last year, Hockenson still produced three games of at least 68 yards from November to December. But, overall, he wasn't quite at full tilt. "He was OK -- didn't appear to trust the knee, especially in blocking, which is common for that injury," an NFL coordinator said. "But I expect him to have a strong year. He will trust it more a year removed and that offense is set up nicely for him. And he's got such a good feel for the game that he'll find ways to get catches." - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN With Iowa owning the tight end position in the NFL, they are the standalone owners of "TEU" with their proven successes. Up next, Addison Ostrenga gets his chance to be the main tight end for the Hawkeyes in an offense that should see some more wrinkles and targets with new QB Mark Gronowski and second-year offensive coordinator Tim Lester.

Seahawks hold key to 2nd-round holdouts
The deadline for #Chargers rookies to report is upon us and second round WR Tre Harris is officially a holdout, sources 30 of the 32 second-round picks unsigned because of a disagreement over guaranteed money, Harris makes the first official stand. There's been an intriguing storyline brewing around the NFL over the past few months following the 2025 NFL draft. The Houston Texans made the unprecedented decision to sign No. 34 overall pick Jayden Higgins to a fully-guaranteed contract. Realizing they had no leverage, the Cleveland Browns did the same with 33rd selection Carson Schwesinger. The other 30 second-round picks remain unsigned. The Seahawks are next up, with safety Nick Emmanwori (35th overall) being the highest-drafted unsigned second-round prospect. The situation is beginning to reach a boiling point. The initial thought process was that the situation would be resolved before training camp opens. Under the current CBA, rookies aren't permitted to physically participate in training camp if they haven't signed their contracts. Camp essentially serves as a deadline for rookie deals to get done. Well, training camp already has started for the Los Angeles Chargers. Their second-round pick, wide receiver Tre Harris, is officially a holdout. With 30 of the 32 second-round picks unsigned because of a disagreement over guaranteed money, Harris makes the first official stand, per Ian Rapoport. NFL teams are likely waiting for the Seahawks to make the next move. GM John Schneider probably doesn't possess much leverage, with Emmanwori surely expecting the same fully-guaranteed contract the two picks before him signed. The league is waiting on Schneider.
