Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 46: a history of the number and who wore it best
Current Steelers No. 46 wearer: LS Christian Kuntz
Long snapper Christian Kuntz is the current No. 46 wearer on the Steelers. A vital part of the special teams unit, Kuntz has played in 68 games over his four-year NFL career in Pittsburgh and signed a three-year extension in March 2024.
Last five Steelers to wear No. 46:
Best No. 46 in Steelers history: RB Reggie Harrison
No. 46 doesn't have the storied Steelers history of other historic jersey numbers — but the best to ever wear it was without a doubt RB Reggie Harrison. During his time in Pittsburgh from 1974 to 1977, Harrison played in 44 games over four seasons with the Steelers — winning two Super Bowls along the way. One of his greatest contributions came in Super Bowl X, when he blocked a punt against the Cowboys — resulting in a safety that cut the Cowboys' lead to 10–9. The Steelers would go on to win 21–17, thanks in part to that game-changing play. Harrison's career 631 rushing yards and eight touchdowns don't jump off the stat page — but it doesn't change the impact he's made for the Steel City-brand of football.

Notre Dame transfer Rocco Spindler makes PFF College First Team Preseason All-Big Ten
Pro Football Focus College released its preseason First Team All-Big Ten Offense on Monday afternoon, one month before Nebraska begins the 2025 season. Right guard Rocco Spindler represents the Huskers on the list. The Notre Dame transfer joins Nebraska after spending four seasons with the Fighting Irish. He played in 40 games for Notre Dame at right guard, starting in 23 of them. Spindler got his first chance of action during his freshman season in 2021, playing in two games before redshirting. He then played in 12 games as a sophomore in 2022, before earning the starting role in 2023. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound lineman got 10 starts in 2023, helping the Fighting Irish rank second in school history in scoring and yards per play. His performance on the Notre Dame helped him become a 2023 Joe Moore Award Semifinalist. Spindler then started the final 13 games of the 2024 season, guiding Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff championship game. Before joining the Fighting Irish, Spindler emerged from Clarkson High School in Michigan with a four-star rating and ESPN tabbing him as the nation's No. 1 offensive guard.

Fox Sports analyst offers a direct but confusing opinion about Eagles QB Jalen Hurts
Fox Sports analyst Danny Parkins says Jalen Hurts has been 'propped up by the system' .@DannyParkins tells Eagles fans the TRUTH about Jalen Hurts At this point, it has become obvious that the promise can't be kept. No longer will you be told that further energy won't be given to a Jalen Hurts discussion about where and how he should rank. He is simply too fascinating. The Philadelphia Eagles are much too big a brand. The theories about his brilliance are all over the place. So, every time, just when one thinks he or she is out, they are pulled back into conversations about his impact and, of course, where he ranks among his peers. Recently, FS1's Colin Cowherd took a day off. Breakfast Ball's Danny Parkins hosted the Herd. What did he do? Well, of course, he talked about Jalen Hurts. "Jalen Hurts having nine different play callers over nine years, spanning back to college, speaks incredibly highly to his football character and his football intelligence. Jalen Hurts playing, not one but two, not good but great, Super Bowls obviously is incredibly valuable. No one would deny any of it". Having said all of that, here's where things become hard to follow. If that's the theory he believes in, how on Planet Earth is he, as Parkins states, the NFL's tenth-best quarterback? Where does that idea come from? For answers, we dig a little deeper. Parkins' argument isn't much different from a tired angle that has been expressed far too often. "It's totally reasonable to say that the guy who was 22nd in the NFL in pass attempts last year is propped up by the system in which he plays in and the guys around him." Much is overlooked in that theory. First, Jalen Hurts isn't the only Philadelphia Eagle whose passing game production has declined. A.J. Brown was targeted 97 times, catching 67 of those for 1,079 yards and one touchdown—his lowest numbers since joining the team. DeVonta Smith was targeted 89 times, securing 68 receptions for 833 yards, which also marks a career low for him. What caused this decline? Philadelphia committed to Saquon Barkley to lead its rushing attack, resulting in a remarkable 2,000-yard season for him, which stands as the best in franchise history. DeVonta Smith was targeted 89 times and hauled in 68 grabs for 833 yards. Again, all were career lows. What happened? Philly committed to Saquon Barkley leading its rushing attack. The result was a 2,000-yard season for him, which doubles as the best in franchise history. Here's another way of stating that. Everyone sacrificed something for the good of the Eagles' offense this past season. The goal was winning, and Philadelphia achieved it frequently. They notched a franchise-record 14 regular-season wins. They won their second Vince Lombardi Trophy. Hurts was often asked to throw less because that was the game plan, not because he wasn't skilled enough to do so. Parkins listed his top ten quarterbacks. They are as follows: If you're confused, don't worry. It's completely understandable. The criteria for building these rankings often change while the ranking is being constructed. Look at the ranking. Think about everything you have heard Danny Parkins say. Jalen Hurts outplayed Patrick Mahomes during two Super Bowls, and he won one of them. Seven guys on this list haven't won their first yet. Hurts is clutch in big moments. Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield aren't. Hurts has never lost to Jayden Daniels in a game where both started and finished. Plus, Daniels hasn't won a Super Bowl, nor has he been to one. Let's not look at this through rose-colored lenses. If you want to place Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, and Jackson ahead of Hurts, even if someone were to disagree with the ranking, they could understand the argument, but don't you dare place him behind Herbert, Stafford, Daniels, Goff, and Mayfield. That's just disrespectful. It's especially disrespectful if you are using terms like clutch, winning, and Super Bowl. When has Mayfield won without great talent? Where is Goff and Herbert's signature win during the postseason? Wait! Isn't Herbert winless in two postseason attempts? Didn't he have a big lead in one of those games? Seriously everyone... What are we doing with these rankings?

National college football writer calls Big Ten playoff plan 'absurd'
Blake Toppmeyer at USA TODAY Sports isn't buying what the Big Ten is selling. He isn't alone. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey didn't seem to be interested in expanding the playoff on the Big Ten's terms. Tony Petitti, the commissioner of the Big Ten, has proposed an alteration to the College Football Playoff. Under his plan, the playoff would expand to 16 teams with four guaranteed bids for the Big Ten, four for the Southeastern Conference, two each for the Big 12 and the Atlantic Coast Conference, and a final spot reserved for the highest-ranked non-power conference champion. The three remaining bids would be at-large. "I think everybody outside of Big Ten land has realized that this Tony Petitti plan is patently absurd," Toppmeyer said on The Paul Finebaum Show. Big Ten coaches are behind the plan because they helped Petitti formulate it. And because it helps their conference, in turn, it helps their team. The Big Ten would have held 54 spots in the College Football Playoff over the last 11 years, the history of the playoff, if Petitti's plan were in place. "It would make the regular season worse when you consider 13 of the 16 bids would be rewarded purely off of conference standings and play-in games," Toppmeyer said. "Games like Texas-Ohio State, LSU-Clemson, Michigan-Oklahoma, that we're looking forward to this season, if we were in a world of Petitti playoff plan, those nonconference games would become glorified exhibitions. That's not how you make the season better." As much as the plan has support in the Big Ten, most of the rest of the college football world agrees with Toppmeyer. ACC and Big 12 commissioners have recommended the 5 + 11 plan, for example. But whatever changes come to the playoff will ultimately be decided by the Big Ten and SEC. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has largely hemmed and hawed on Petitti's plan so far. Any changes to the playoff format would have to be agreed on by December 1 to take effect for the 2026 season, and it's looking more like the playoff may not expand at all.
