Putting Jalen Ramsey Rumors to Bed | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's putting to bed the incessant rumors connecting the Steelers to Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Ramsey has been on the block for months without a deal coming to the forefront, and the Steelers have been repeatedly connected to him, despite the lack of an obvious fit or need. ESPN's Adam Schefter put those rumors to bed for good on Tuesday, saying it's unlikely that the Steelers will acquire the former All-Pro. Instead, it seems much more likely that Ramsey will head to the West Coast, where he'd prefer to play, and the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams have more obvious fits for him in their depth charts. Alan breaks it down. #steelers #herewego #nfl CONNECT WITH STEELERS NOW: Steelers Now: https://steelersnow.com SN on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pghsteelersnow SN on FB: https://facebook.com/steelersnow SN on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/pghsteelersnow/

Eagles' Jalen Hurts Edges Out Patrick Mahomes in Key QB Metric
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Since his days in college, what has always made Jalen Hurts such an interesting QB prospect is his ability to attack defenses on the ground and in the air. His dynamic skill set has allowed him to thrive in the NFL, emerging as one of the league's top talents at the position. In his first four seasons as a full-time starter, Hurts has led the Eagles to the Super Bowl twice and won once. He nearly added an MVP award to his list of accolades during this stretch as well, finishing second back in 2022. While some might not be a fan of his methods, there is no denying Hurts' abilities to lead Philadelphia's offense. When his numbers are put up against his counterparts across the league, Hurts very well looks like an elite QB. Earlier this week, the people at PFF put out a stat of the quarterbacks with the most passing and rushing touchdowns since 2022. The Eagles star finds himself in second place with 105, trailing only reigning league MVP Josh Allen. Among the notable names Hurts is just ahead of are Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow.

In each of the last four seasons, he's racked up double-digit passing and rushing touchdowns. The famous "Tush Push" is a major factor in this, as it is Philly's go-to when they get to the goal line. Last season, Hurts was almost neck-and-neck when it came to his scores, notching 18 touchdowns in the air and 14 on the ground. Hurts' passing touchdowns took a slight dip in 2024, but big personnel changes played a role in this. With the addition of Saquon Barkley in free agency, the Eagles had an elite talent in the backfield. This led to them embracing the run game more, resulting in the ex-Giants running back nearly making history in the regular season.

The Eagles have arguably one of the best wide receiver duos in the league, and Barkley is poised to build off his strong first season in Philly. Armed with all these weapons, Hurts is tasked with keeping everyone involved as the Eagles look to repeat as champions. For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Rob Gronkowski Doesn't Hold Back About 49ers' George Kittle
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers have arguably the best tight end in the NFL currently with George Kittle. After they gave him a lucrative four-year, $76.4 million contract extension this offseason, there seems to be a good chance that he will finish his career with the 49ers as well. In recent years, there have been a lot of high-level tight ends. Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Rob Gronkowski all playing at the same time was an absolute treat for the fans. All three players are going to be among the best to ever play the tight end position. They all have a case to be made for making it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates after a touchdown during the fourth quarter in the game against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium on December 10, 2023 in Santa Clara, California.

When it came to Kittle, he did not hold back and ranked Kittle the best tight end out of the group he was discussing. "All right, this is easy. I'm going to answer, totally," Gronkowski said. "George Kittle, by far. He was All-Pro last year. He had over 1,000 yards. He had over 10 touchdowns. The best in the game right now so that's an easy number one." Kittle is entering the 2025 NFL season at age 31. He still has a lot of good football left in him and will be a huge part of San Francisco's attempt to get back to being a Super Bowl contender. During the 2024 season with the 49ers, Kittle played in 15 games. He racked up 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 14.2 yards per reception.

Along with Kittle, the 49ers also gave quarterback Brock Purdy a lucrative contract. They signed him to a massive five-year, $265 million deal. Kittle will be key in helping the young quarterback get back on track after a down year last season. It will be interesting to see what kind of season Kittle is able to put together in San Francisco. Gronkowski is still clearly expecting big things from the player who he believes is the current best tight end in the NFL. For more San Francisco 49ers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

NFL legend Peyton Manning shares thoughts on former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud
Former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud has had a pretty remarkable start to his NFL career. He was the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year and has led the Houston Texans to two straight playoff appearances. Of course, as with many sports fans, they want more and they want it now. Stroud took some criticism in his second season, as it seemed like a bit of a regression, but NFL legend Peyton Manning begs to differ. In an event with Fanatics, both Peyton and Eli Manning took the stage with Stroud, Bryce Young, and Celeb Williams. In a matter of just 63 seconds, Peyton heaped the praise on Stroud, shutting down anyone who thinks he isn't doing enough. "...I didn't win a playoff game 'til my sixth year. He's two for two." - Peyton Manning Manning talked about how hard it is to come into the league and play well as a rookie, and then began the compliments of how well the former Buckeye prepares in watching film and doing study. He continued on comparing Stroud's beginning to his own NFL start, saying, "He went to the playoffs in his second year. He was 22. Let's be careful saying it was a down year. I didn't win a playoff game 'til my sixth year. He's two for two." That's big time coming from one of the all-time NFL greats. While Stroud's numbers weren't as strong in year two, throwing for fewer yards and touchdowns and more than doubling his interceptions, he also had to navigate a number of injuries to his offensive line (he was sacked 52 times, which was second most in the NFL) as well as injuries to his top three receivers. Manning also points out that after such a strong rookie campaign, teams had more film to watch to make adjustments. The Texans are looking to build on the success of the past two seasons and have added some more firepower to the team. With a healthy roster, Stroud is poised to take another step forward in his third year.
