MSU QB Aidan Chiles talks expectations, growth during offseason
MSU QB Aidan Chiles talks expectations, growth during offseason Michigan State starting quarterback Aidan Chiles met with the media to discuss expectations, growth as a leader and provide an overall spring practice update
It's a massive spring for Aidan Chiles as he looks to improve upon his first year as the Spartans' starting quarterback and get Michigan State football back to its winning ways.
Michigan State is in the midst of spring practice, with the Spartans about halfway through the campaign. The Spartans have elected to keep everything behind closed doors this spring and not offering much up for the fans to see. That includes not holding its annual spring game / open practice at the end of the spring season.
But one thing we have gotten here and there is media availability with the players and coaches. That included Chiles on Tuesday, who took questions during a media session.
Hear what Chiles had to say during his media availability, with our summary notes and the full video below.

Steelers OC Arthur Smith hilariously says they didn't sign Rodgers to 'run the wishbone'
Steelers OC Arthur Smith hilariously says they didn't sign Rodgers to 'run the wishbone' Steelers OC Arthur Smith hinted at some offensive scheme changes coming in 2025. A conflict of offensive interest seemed to be brewing with the signing of Aaron Rodgers — who threw the second-most pass attempts in the NFL last season — fitting with the run-heavy Steelers, who ran the ball the fourth-most often in 2024. At mandatory minicamp, Smith made it very clear that the additions of Rodgers and DK Metcalf will see the ball fly through the air more in Pittsburgh (courtesy of Mike DeFabo): "Obviously, as your roster evolves — we didn't bring Aaron in here and sign DK for all that money to go run the wishbone." The wishbone, a RB-heavy formation once popular in college football, was clearly a sarcastic dig at anyone questioning whether or not the team would commit to the same offensive philosophy with Rodgers and Metcalf — but it appears Steelers fans that love a good passing attack may have their wish granted this season.

Texas A&M transfer WR signs NIL deal with trading card company
Texas A&M transfer WR signs NIL deal with trading card company Texas A&M's 2025 wide receiver rotation is completely revamped after the additions of KC Concepcion (NC State), Jonah Wilson (Houston), and Mario Craver (Mississippi State) this offseason, while the return of Terry Bussey, Ashton Bethel-Roman and Izaiah Williams has given starting quarterback Marcel Reed an elite corps that should take the Aggie passing game to the next level. With elite talent comes NIL earnings, and after the NCAA vs. House bill was passed, Universities will now directly pay their athletes with a $20.5 million cap per institution. At the same time, players will continue to be able to sign NIL deals with various organizations. This week, it was revealed that KC Concepcion signed a $2.5 million deal with The Famile. In contrast, Jaxson Callaway of AggiesToday revealed on Wednesday that Marion Craver has reportedly signed his NIL deal with Topps Trading Cards. According to Callaway, Craver will work with a variety of trading cards ranging from Autograph, Relic, Chrome, and Specialty Sets. As Callaway notes in the article, Craver's ascending profile and star potential after his freshman season with the Bulldogs are the primary reasons Topps is so excited about his representation moving forward. "Mario Craver is as an emerging figure in the trading card market, leveraging his collegiate status to contribute to Topps' diverse portfolio. The inclusion of autographs and jerseys taps into the growing demand for authenticated memorabilia, especially as Topps expands with 2025 releases like Series 2 and Chrome. Collectors can anticipate Craver's cards in hobby boxes or as standalone rarities, available through Topps' official site or retailers like Target, with potential value increases if his career progresses." Craver enters the 2025 season as the No. 2 or 3 option, depending on the results of fall practices, providing Marcel Reed with a legitimate deep threat who can take the top of most secondaries. His quickness in route will create immediate separation in the short passing game.

Colin Cowherd's T.J. Watt contract rant goes viral: 'He owns the Steelers'
Colin Cowherd's T.J. Watt contract rant goes viral: 'He owns the Steelers' Colin Cowherd — the Steelers' biggest critic — is back at it again. One of the biggest stories in Pittsburgh right now is T.J. Watt's absence from mandatory minicamp amid intense contractual negotiations with the Steelers — and Cowherd weighed in. On The Herd, the controversial sports personality kept it short, sweet, and bold with his prediction on Watt's holdout situation throughout mandatory minicamp: "[Watt's] not going to show up — and you know why? Because he knows he owns Mike Tomlin. He owns the Steelers. He's going to get whatever he wants. Everybody in Pittsburgh owns a T.J. Watt jersey — [the Steelers] don't want the backlash. The Rooneys — small town — they don't want the backlash, and he's going to get whatever he wants." Cowherd would continue to tear apart the Steelers for spending premium on defense, emphasizing that Super Bowl contenders are going offense first — before ultimately concluding that extending Watt would do nothing for playoff success.
