Steelers legend says what everyone already knows about Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh's QB woes
Bradshaw appeared on last week's episode of the To The Point - Home Services podcast and explained why the Steelers failed in developing Pickett — pointing to other QB comeback stories as evidence:
'Baker Mayfield is in Tampa Bay playing great now, because you got talent around him,' Bradshaw said. 'Steelers get rid of Kenny Pickett. A first-rounder, got rid of him after two years. And they're still looking for a quarterback. They didn't even do anything to build around him. Sam Darnold goes into Minnesota — look at all those weapons. All those weapons, and look what happened. How great did he play.'
Pickett's time in Pittsburgh was short-lived, starting just 23 games in his two seasons. He later requested a trade after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson in the 2024 offseason.
The Steelers have been searching for their next franchise QB since Ben Roethlisberger retired in 2022 — and while Aaron Rodgers is a much-needed pit stop on what's been a long and frustrating journey, the 2026 NFL Draft could be the final destination.

Dolphins backup OL Andrew Meyer out "weeks" with an injury
The Dolphins have lost backup interior offensive lineman Andrew Meyer for "weeks" with an injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday. 'He's had a great camp, really stepped his game, and I'm very impressed with his play,' McDaniel said, via Dante Collinelli of 'He will be out weeks, but he's built a strong foundation as one of the top performers if you want to talk about growth of game. One of the top guys from year one to year two that has made tremendous strides.' Meyer practiced with the first team at center until Aaron Brewer returned from a soft-tissue injury in his right leg. Meyer's injury is undisclosed. He made the team as an undrafted rookie last year but he did not see any action. The Dolphins also are missing offensive linemen Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg.

South Carolina team stuns defending champions Florida with wild walk-off to earn trip to Little League World Series
A team from South Carolina is headed to Williamsport for the first time, thanks to a wild walk-off win over the defending Little League World Series champions. A group from Irmo, South Carolina, knocked off the group from Lake Mary, Florida, on Wednesday in stunning fashion. Florida took a 4-0 lead into the final inning, but pitcher Jacob Brown opened with a pair of walks and then hit his pitch limit after securing one out. His relief pitcher gave up a single before two more walks, one of which was intentional, to bring up Brady Westbrooks. Westbrooks then hit a three-RBI double with a deep line drive to the left-field wall with two outs to steal the 5-4 win, which sparked a massive celebration on the field. Florida was a perfect 3-0 up until Wednesday in their regional site, and had outscored opponents 26-1. They rolled over South Carolina 14-0 when they played on Sunday, too. Florida beat Chinese Taipei 2-1 in extra innings to win the Little League World Series last year. The tournament hasn't seen a back-to-back champion since Tokyo pulled it off in 2012 and 2013. The Little League World Series will open on August 13. The U.S. and International Championship games are scheduled for August 23, and the World Series Championship will take place on August 24. The Seattle Mariners and New York Mets will participate in the Little League Classic at Bowman Field in Williamsport this year, too.
