Ex-Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson goes viral after claiming he's 'jobless'
After hilariously revealing on social media that he had been released on his day off, Patterson took to Instagram with an even funnier take — claiming he was "jobless" with a photo of him mopping floors.
Despite an uneventful, injury-riddled 2024 season with Pittsburgh, Patterson's legacy as one of the greatest kick returners of all time is unmatched.
Steelers fans will best remember Patterson for entertaining attempts to recruit big-name wide receivers to Pittsburgh — such as Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, and Mike Williams, the latter of whom actually wound up in the Steel City this season.
One has to wonder how much Patterson has left in the tank at 34 years old, but considering his four First-Team All-Pro selections, three Second-Team All-Pro selections, four Pro Bowl nominations, and being named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, it's safe to say he's deserving of First-Ballot Hall of Fame consideration.

6.9 million watched Chargers-Lions Hall of Fame game
Football is back. And while the numbers are yet to hit regular-season form, a large throng tuned in for a glorified scrimmage involving second- and third-stringers. Via Austin Karp of Sports Business Daily, the Chargers-Lions Hall of Fame game on NBC generated 6.9 million viewers on average for the broadcast. It's the biggest audience for the Hall of Fame game since the 2021 matchup between the Steelers and Cowboys, which averaged 7.31 million. Last year, Bears-Texans on ABC averaged 4.93 million. Of the total number, 691,000 watched on Peacock and NBC Digital. It's the biggest NBC preseason streaming audience ever. Several more preseason games will be nationally televised over the next three weeks. In four weeks and three days, the season gets started with Cowboys-Eagles in Philadelphia. On NBC and Peacock. The number will be much higher than 6.9 million for that one.

49ers to sign former All-Big Ten offensive tackle
While quarterback is the most important position in football, the offensive line may be the most important position group in the sport because if they're not doing they're job, as a unit, it's hard to have success passing or running. So while the San Francisco 49ers seem to have their starting offensive line figured out for the 2025 season, they're still looking for more depth. On Sunday, they worked out three offensive tackles, including David Sharpe, D'Ante Smith and Isaiah Prince. After a successful workout, the 49ers are set to sign Prince, according to his agency, AMDG Sports. A corresponding move has yet to be announced for this reported transaction. Prince, 28, spent four seasons at Ohio State from 2015-18, earning All-Big Ten honors in his final two seasons with the Buckeyes before the Miami Dolphins took him in the sixth round (No. 202 overall) of the 2019 NFL draft. Miami waived Prince after four games as a rookie, and the Cincinnati Bengals claimed him off waivers. After opting out of the 2020 season during the COVID-19 pandemic, Prince returned to play in 15 games, starting four for the Bengals in 2021 and went on to start all four of their playoff games as well. Prince missed all of 2022 due to an injured elbow and has had stints with the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans over the last two years, playing just 29 offensive snaps and 10 special teams snaps in that time. Spencer Buford and Austen Pleasants have been working as San Francisco's primary backup tackles, and when Andre Dillard returns, he'll be another top option for one of those roles, so unless someone goes down with an injury, it feels like Prince will have to perform like a starter on the practice field and in preseason action to earn a spot on the roster.
