Two Jets defenders make PFF's Top 50 rankings
Every year, before the NFL season begins, the analysts at Pro Football Focus put together a list of the 50 best NFL players. PFF's rankings are based mostly on a player's grade and on certain analytics, like wins-above-replacement. This year, their Top 50 list features two New York Jets, both of whom play defense: cornerback Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Both of these players appeared on last year's list but have slipped in the rankings. Gardner went from No. 16 to No. 23, while Williams fell from No. 27 all the way to No. 44. Somewhat ironically, Williams has already landed on the NFL's annual Top 100 players ranking, but on that list he lands all the way down at 87th, a drop of 50 spots from last year's rankings and more than 40 spots lower than PFF's list. Writing for PFF, analysts Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema have this to say about Quinnen William's ranking: 'With Aaron Glenn bringing a more aggressive, attacking front to New York, Williams is a strong candidate to rebound in 2025 and reestablish himself as one of the league's most disruptive interior defenders.' As for Gardner, his inclusion is almost a no-brainer. At No. 23 he is the highest ranked cornerback on this year's list. 'Since 2022, [Gardner] leads all cornerbacks with a 91.9 coverage grade and 2.10 PFF [wins-above-replacement]. While his interception total isn't eye-popping, Gardner's 43 forced incompletions lead the league over that span. In 2025, he could showcase his skills even more in a more aggressive scheme under new head coach Aaron Glenn.' You may have noticed similar remarks for both players, and it's a common theme when projecting any Jets defender in 2025: a belief in Aaron Glenn to turn this unit around after a slight regression in 2024, and make it one of the league's premier defenses. Whether that belief is well-founded will need to be proven on the field, though Glenn's track record speaks for itself. Glenn helped the Lions weather an unprecedented number of injuries to key defensive starters all throughout 2024 and still put a respectable unit on the field. It's easy to imagine how much better his defenses could be with the kind of talent that is in New York.

Chicago Tops Orkin's 2025 Bed Bug Cities List Again as Unexpected Cities Climb the Ranks
Newcomers like Hartford and Peoria shake up this year's list as travel season threatens to spread infestations ATLANTA, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hartford, Connecticut made the biggest leap in Orkin's 2025 Top 50 Bed Bug Cities List, debuting at No. 35 after jumping an unprecedented 48 spots – indicating a significant increase in bed bug activity. In contrast, Charlotte (no. 31), Philadelphia (no. 24) and New York (no. 15) all saw significant drops, suggesting fewer reported bed bug infestations compared to the previous year. However, one thing hasn't changed: for the fifth consecutive year, Chicago holds onto its spot as the most bed bug-infested city in the nation. For more than 20,000 years, bed bugs have mastered the art of going unnoticed until it's too late. With travel-heavy months ahead, vigilance is key. Knowing how to inspect hotel rooms and luggage could mean the difference between a relaxing vacation and an itchy return home. This year's rankings are based on treatment data from metro areas where Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments from May 15, 2024 – May 14, 2025. The list includes both residential bed bug control and commercial bed bug treatments. 'Bed bugs are some of the most resilient pests in the world, making them extremely difficult to control if brought into a home or hotel,' said Ben Hottel, Orkin entomologist. 'As summer travel picks up, it is critical that people know the best ways to identify, prevent and control these pests.' Cities like Charlotte, Philadelphia and New York made significant improvements in their fight against bed bugs by taking preventative measures against this pest. These major changes in ranking prove the importance of inspecting beds and luggage for bed bugs during and after travel. Know before you go: Bed bug prevention tips Measuring only 3/16 inch long and mostly nocturnal, bed bugs are difficult to detect. These pests are hematophagous, which means blood is their only food source and their favorite supplier happens to be sleeping humans. Clinging to items such as luggage, purses and other personal belongings, bed bugs can travel from place to place with ease. Orkin recommends the following steps to help prevent travelers from bringing bed bugs home in 2025. During travel, remember the acronym S.L.E.E.P. to inspect for bed bugs: 'What makes bed bugs especially challenging is their growing resistance to certain treatments, which is why early detection and proactive prevention are so critical,' said Hottel. 'If there's any sign of bed bugs, it's important to involve a trained professional, like the Pros at Orkin, right away.' With nearly 125 years of experience with bed bugs and state-of-the-art tools and products, Orkin is well-equipped to assess your bed bug problem, offer training for short-staffed hospitality teams and mount a strategic response to help rid your home or business of the pest and provide maximum protection.

New York Giants' Malik Nabers among NFL's top 50 players in merchandise sales
New York Giants' Malik Nabers among NFL's top 50 players in merchandise sales New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is a superstar after just one season, wowing NFL audiences with his dazzling athleticism and circus catches. Nabers broke several NFL and franchise records as a rookie and appears poised to put up even bigger numbers in 2025 thanks to the additions of quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart. For those reasons, it should come as little surprise that Nabers catapulted up the NFLPA's list of merchandise sales, landing firmly in spot No. 36 from March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025. The NFLPA's Top 50 Player Sales List ranks the league's top retail performers based on sales of officially licensed player products from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date snapshot of player-driven consumer demand, offering a strong indicator of the NFL's most marketable and influential athletes – impacting everything from endorsements to overall earning potential. These rankings go beyond jersey sales, covering a wide range of product categories including apparel, bobbleheads, accessories, figurines, wall decals, backpacks, drinkware and more. These are the only verified rankings based on officially licensed NFL player products sold through both online and in-store retail channels, as reported by over 85 NFLPA licensees. Somewhat ironically -- and perhaps sourly -- former Giant Saquon Barkley unseated Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, becoming the first running back to claim the No. 1 spot since 2017 (Ezekiel Elliott). Despite that, Nabers' strong showing should not be overlooked. Nine NFLPA Rising Stars broke through the year-end rankings—a strong signal of future retail power. Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, Drake Maye, Malik Nabers, Puka Nacua, Sam LaPorta, and JJ McCarthy all turned early buzz into real consumer demand. Current Giants quarterback Russell Wilson finished 41st in year-end sales, although that came as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Allen alone on top 50 NFLPA list from Buffalo Bills but still trails big names in fan product sales
Josh Allen alone on top 50 NFLPA list from Buffalo Bills but still trails big names in fan product sales (Image via Getty) In recent years, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been one of the most talked-about players in the NFL in some capacity. Whether it's amazing performances on the field, being the cover of Madden NFL 24, or winning 2024 NFL MVP, Josh Allen has kept himself at the forefront of fans' conversation. Most recently, Josh Allen again generated buzz in the media in May 2025 when he married his fiancé, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld in a private wedding in California. After all that talk, many have more recently begun to look into where Josh Allen stands in the NFL merchandise sales. He has a rapidly expanding fan base, but is he at the top? Josh Allen ranked sixth in NFL merchandise sales, behind five household names Released by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) this week was its Top 50 Player Sales List, which recorded Josh Allen sixth among all NFL players in merchandise sales from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. Among the league-licensed items available are t-shirts, caps, trading cards, drinkware, backpacks, and even pet gear. The players listed ahead of Josh Allen were: 1. Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles) 2. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) 3. Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) 4. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) 5. C.J. Stroud (Houston Texans) Josh Allen, 28, is the only Buffalo Bills player on the top 50 for this year. Stefon Diggs was on the list last year but moved to the Houston Texans after Josh Allen. The NFLPA reported that Josh Allen continues to have strong fan support despite being in a smaller market. Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley are both top 50 again When the NFLPA released the top 50 list in June 2025, many fans probably were not shocked to see Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley on top again. Patrick Mahomes is still one of the most recognized faces in all of football while Saquon Barkley just elevated his personal brand (and popularity) with a recent deal to the Philadelphia Eagles. 'Josh Allen has become a household name,' said NFLPA representative Sarah Franklin. 'He's not just winning games. He's winning hearts across the country.'If you want to see the full NFLPA Top 50 list, you can check it out on their website, released on June 11, 2025.
