Jordan Addison DUI trial is still set for today
As noted by Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, Addison's DUI trial remains on track to begin today, July 15. That date was set in the middle of June.
Last July, Addison was found asleep at the wheel at LAX airport. He's accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, and of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration in excess of the legal limit of .08 percent.
Both charge are misdemeanors. The related complication comes from the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Baseline punishment for first offense DUI is a three-game suspension.
And the suspension if in play even if there's any outcome reflecting responsibility — conviction, guilty plea, no contest, diversion program, deferred prosecution, etc.

Steelers fans get surprise with LB Patrick Queen on NFL Network Top 100
Once the NFL Network announced that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward was the No. 83 player on their Top 100 players for 2025, we figured we'd have a nice, long wait until we saw another Steeler on the list. But lo and behold, in something of a surprise, the NFL Network announced that Steelers inside linebacker Patrick Queen is the No. 75 player. Queen came to the Steelers as a free agent in 2024 from the Baltimore Ravens. Queen got off to something of a slow start, but by the second half of the season, you could see he was much more comfortable in the offense and started making more plays. 2024 wasn't Queen's best statistical season, but he did finish with a team-high 129 total tackles. This season, Queen should be able to build on 2024 and produce even better paired up in the middle of the Steelers defense with Payton Wilson.

George Kittle's all-around excellence earns him the honor of top tight end in AP rankings
Perhaps no position requires a wider range of skills to succeed in the NFL than tight ends, who are asked to thrive as receivers in the middle of the field as well as being key parts to the run and pass games with their blocking. While many teams divide those roles among multiple players, George Kittle's ability to do it all for the San Francisco 49ers as one of the most efficient receivers and top blockers helped him score the honor of being voted the top tight end in the league by The Associated Press. A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at tight end, basing selections on current status entering the 2025 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second- through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points. Kittle got five first-place votes and three seconds to win the voting. Las Vegas' Brock Bowers was the only other player selected on all eight ballots and came in second with two first-place votes, five seconds and one fifth. Kansas City's Travis Kelce got the other first-place vote and finished third, followed by Arizona's Trey McBride and Baltimore's Mark Andrews. Detroit's Sam LaPorta and Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson also received votes. 1. GEORGE KITTLE, San Francisco 49ers Kittle is coming off one of his most productive seasons as a receiver, catching 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight TDs for an injury-riddled San Francisco offense. He led all tight ends and ranked third overall with 2.62 yards per route run in a sign of how efficient he is as a receiver. Kittle also remains one of the top blocking tight ends, helping him earn first or second-team All-Pro honors in five of the past seven seasons. 2. BROCK BOWERS, Las Vegas Raiders Bowers burst on the scene during a record-setting rookie season when his 1,194 yards receiving were the most ever by a rookie tight end and his 112 catches were the most ever by any rookie. Bowers was a first-team All-Pro and quickly established himself as perhaps the top receiving threat at the position. 3. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs Kelce is one of the most productive tight ends ever, with his 1,004 catches and 12,151 yards receiving ranking third all time at the position. But he showed signs of slowing after turning 35 last October. He still managed 97 catches for 823 yards, but his 8.5 yards per reception were down 4 yards from his career average entering 2024 as he had significant drops in yards after catch and missed tackles forced. 4. TREY MCBRIDE, Arizona Cardinals McBride has made steady improvement since being drafted in the second round in 2022 and reached star status last season, when his 111 catches and 1,146 yards receiving trailed only Bowers among tight ends. The only thing missing for McBride was success in the red zone, where he had only two TD catches — tied for the second-fewest ever for any player in a 100-catch season. 5. MARK ANDREWS, Baltimore Ravens Andrews has been one of the top tight ends for years, but his production has started to tail off since he was an All-Pro in 2021. After missing significant time with injuries in 2023, Andrews had 55 catches for 673 yards and led all tight ends with 11 TD receptions last season. Unfortunately for Andrews, his season might be best remembered for a dropped 2-point conversion late in a 27-25 playoff loss to Buffalo. ___ AP NFL:

Justin Jefferson on J.J. McCarthy taking over as Vikings starting QB: 'I want him to be just as confident as I am of him'
Justin Jefferson didn't get a lot of time to work with J.J. McCarthy last year as the rookie quarterback tore the meniscus in his right knee in the preseason opener and missed the entire season. With their 2024 first-round draft pick out, the Vikings turned to veteran Sam Darnold, who helped lead them to a 14-3 record and a second playoff appearance in three seasons. Jefferson had another strong season finishing second in total receiving yards (1,533), sixth in total receptions (103) and tied for fifth in receiving touchdowns (10). He also led the NFL in receptions of at least 20 yards with 28. Now that McCarthy is healthy, Jefferson is trying to give his quarterback every chance to succeed in his first NFL season. "As his teammate and as a captain of the team, just trying to make him dialed in every chance that I can," Jefferson told Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz. "Our lockers are right next to each other, so every chance that I get to talk to him about football, about anything that goes on outside of football. Just try to get to know him as much as I can because when the season comes and whenever we're locked in I want him to be just as confident as I am of him to make the plays out there." Jefferson also talked about potentially participating in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. During the NFL's spring meetings in May, a proposal was passed that opened the door for players to take part in the event, which will debut in 2028. The 26-year-old Jefferson, a global flag football ambassador, said that while the LA Olympics are a few years away, he would be interested in going for gold for Team USA. "If everything goes well and everything goes right for me, of course I would love to be a part of that team to compete for a gold medal," Jefferson told Fitz. "That's always been a dream and something that I've always wanted to accomplish, standing on that stage and getting that gold medal. To be an Olympian, that's something I've always dreamt of, but football was never in the Olympics. Now we finally have a chance, and it probably will be my only chance that I can get, so I feel like, why not?"
