New Steelers TE Jonnu Smith shares honest feelings on playing in Pittsburgh
On July 11's episode of the Zach Smackz Show, Smith was asked to share his honest feelings on joining HC Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. And judging by his response, he's thrilled to be a Steeler.
"You check all the boxes," Smith said. "What more do you want? You basically check all the boxes. You're going up there, like you said, to a historic franchise with a historic coach, with a historic QB, you know what I'm saying? If God ain't have his hands on that, you know what I mean? To be in that position, I'm humbled, I'm honored. I'm ready to get up there and get to work."
Smith is coming off a breakout season in 2024 — posting 884 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 88 receptions — earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his career.
Pittsburgh's new tight end is clearly excited to start building chemistry with his four-time MVP quarterback in Rodgers — who's been staying busy this July, as seen in his Malibu workout session with Steelers pass catchers and his recent attendance at this year's American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, the latter of which went viral for all the wrong and hilarious reasons.

Netflix documentary highlights what the Steelers are missing at quarterback
2025 will mark the fifth-straight season the Pittsburgh Steelers will open the year with a different starting quarterback. Pittsburgh has been wandering around in the dark since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger at the end of the 2021 season and the team's latest attempt is an aging Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract to try to get the Steelers back into the playoffs. But after watching the second season of Netflix's Quarterback, it's pretty clear where the Steelers are missing the mark when it comes to finding their franchise quarterback. In case you didn't know, Quarterback follows the lives of three NFL quarterbacks both on and off the field. Detroit's Jared Goff, Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, and Atlanta's Kirk Cousins are this season's lineup, and as a Steeler fan watching it, you really have mixed emotions. It's easy to root against a guy like Burrow on the field because he's so talented but in watching his interviews and his interactions, you can understand why his teammates play so hard for him and why the Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC. The same goes for Goff and the turnaround the Lions have made since bringing him in. He's a leader and the entire city has rallied around him as the Lions have grown into an NFL contender. Even Cousins and his struggles with his injury and subsequent situation with the Falcons don't dissuade us from believing he would be the guy in Pittsburgh had they tried to trade for him this offseason. Meanwhile, the Steelers try to cobble together a serviceable offense, but they are hoping the scheme and philosophy can overcome a lack of talent and heart, and it just doesn't work. Even if Rodgers somehow gets the Steelers their first playoff win since 2016, it will be a fleeting victory because he will be gone and the Steelers will be back to square one in 2026. Steeler Nation got spoiled with the stability and consistency Roethlisberger provided, and those qualities are so clear in the quarterbacks in the documentary; it really shows where the Steelers continue to fall short.

Can flameout first rounder convince Cowboys to extend $13 million, fifth-year option?
Will Mazi Smith survive Season No. 3 and earn a Season No. 4 in Dallas? Could he play so well they lock him in for a Season 5 when it's all said and done? With the way the first two campaigns have gone, a fifth-year option for the defensive tackle seems like a pipe dream at this point. Smith, playing under first Dan Quinn and then Mike Zimmer, has yet to find a way to turn his freakish athleticism into on-field pro production. Technique and reaction time issues have been his downfall since being a shocking first-round draft pick for the club in 2023, and it will now be on Matt Eberflus and Aaron Whitecotton to unlock the puzzle that is his performance on the defensive line's interior. If they can't, then perhaps it's time for the Cowboys to cut bait and move in a different direction. Rundown Position: Defensive Tackle Age: 26 (Week 1 age) Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 337 pounds Hometown: Kentwood, MI High School: East Kentwood College: Michigan (Film Study Video) Draft: 2023 First-round pick (No. 26 Overall) Acquired: 2023 Draft Contract: Four-year contract (2023), $13.2 million 2025 Base Salary: $2 million (guaranteed) | Cap Hit: $3.6 million Career Earnings: $8.7 million (per Over The Cap) Profile Whitecotton has his work cut out for him with Smith, but perhaps maturity will be the key ingredient in him being able to turn his early career around. NFL teams have until early May to decide on placing the fifth-year option on a player, meaning the 2026 free agency period and draft will take place before Dallas has to declare their intentions. As Smith is not goin to reach any of the playtime incentives tied to a higher tender amount, he'll need to become a Pro Bowl player to garner something above the basic compensation level for a defensive tackle. That annually escalating number was $12.9 million for 2022 first rounder Jordan Davis. Smith started all 17 games last season and ended up with the same number of sacks he did while starting three games as a rookie; three. Sacks aren't supposed to be an integral part to his game, but he's done nothing to solidify the Cowboys' run defense and keep the linebackers clean when he's on the field. He's morphed into a 300-plus pound under technique in some ways, a far cry from what was envisioned when he was taken out of Michigan. Dallas did very little to provide him with competition this offseason, choosing a similar route to how they did with disappointing 2024 first rounder Tyler Guyton. Sixth-round pick Jay Toia, from UCLA, is pretty much the extent of what has been done to elevate the position, with 2023 UDFA Denzel Daxon returning as well.

David Pollack identifies Auburn's biggest question mark ahead of the 2025 season
The former Georgia linebacker sheds light on his greatest concern surrounding Auburn ahead of the season. There are plenty of questions surrounding the Auburn Tigers ahead of the 2025 season, and one former Georgia linebacker has identified the biggest one. David Pollack, a former Georgia linebacker and ESPN analyst, recently discussed Auburn during an episode of his podcast, "See Ball, Get Ball", where he shed light on his biggest concern for the Tigers ahead of the 2025 season. Pollack did not label a position group, or even a member of the coaching staff, as a giant question mark, but instead a player. Auburn will have a new quarterback in Jackson Arnold this season, who signed with Oklahoma as a five-star quarterback and Gatorade Player of the Year from Texas. He had an up-and-down stint in Norman and will get a fresh start on the Plains. Pollack shares that Arnold is Auburn's biggest preseason question "by far" and that the Tigers' success hinges on Arnold's ability to run the football. 'Last year was tough. But I do think the one thing that I know about [Arnold] is that he's an elite runner. And I do know Hugh Freeze with an elite runner at quarterback is a dangerous freaking animal. Because then he gets to the RPO games, the quick game. He changes tempo as good as anybody in the country with their green light and red light. They'll come up to the line of scrimmage and go 'fast, fast, fast' but then they'll wait for the last second on the play clock.' Pollack feels that Auburn's offense will be solid with an experienced offensive line and a "1-2 punch" at wide receiver with Cam Coleman and Eric Singleton. It all hinges on Arnold's ability to give Auburn more dimensions, which should be easy to achieve. He rushed for 560 yards in two seasons at Oklahoma, including 444 last season for the Sooners.
