Justin Fields, Jets QBs using interesting tool at spring practices
Justin Fields, Jets QBs using interesting tool at spring practices
The New York Jets quarterback room is doing some extra initiative during spring practices, Justin Fields included.
Flexing their technology muscle, Jets QBs have worn Go-Pro cameras on top of their helmets during OTAs over the past few weeks. Starting quarterback Justin Fields is among that faction.
Not only is there a camera involved in the setup, quarterbacks coach Charles London explained that audio has a place as well. London believes both aspects can help players and coaches evaluate workouts.

Arsenal in talks over €80m Benjamin Sesko signing
Arsenal are in negotiations with RB Leipzig over a deal to sign Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko. Mikel Arteta has narrowed his search for a striker down to two options, with Sesko and Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres the two candidates. Arsenal are currently focused on Sesko and discussions are underway with Leipzig over a deal. Advertisement The German side will demand that Sesko's release clause is met, which currently stands in excess of €80m (£67.2m). Sky Germany are reporting that it is unclear whether Arsenal can meet that figure but talks over a transfer and potential payment structure are ongoing. Earlier this week, there was a meeting between Leipzig's Marcel Schäfer and Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta in London. Sesko is a long-standing target for Arsenal, who approached Leipzig over a deal last summer. The 21-year-old turned down a move to the Premier League in favour of signing a new contract, but is now keen to explore his options. Leipzig are expected to sell Sesko and Xavi Simons in the summer window after failing to secure European football. Why Arsenal want to sign Benjamin Sesko Sesko is regarded as one of Europe's best centre-forward prospects and has scored 39 goals in 87 games since joining Leipzig from sister-club Red Bull Salzburg. At international level, he's scored 16 times in 41 caps for Slovenia. Advertisement The 6ft 5in forward would offer Arsenal another aerial presence at set-pieces, with Arteta's side emerging as one of Europe's most prolific teams from set-plays in recent seasons. Arsenal struggled in the absence of a centre-forward over the second half of last season. Kai Havertz, whose season was virtually curtailed in February due to a hamstring injury, was the club's leading league scorer with nine goals. It was the first season 1923/24 that Arsenal failed to have a player reach 10+ league goals in a campaign.

Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads
Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After weeks that seemed like years, there's finally a resolution to the Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers saga. Advertisement The two sides had been playing an intense game of cat-and-mouse since Rodgers was officially released by the New York Jets back on March 13, and after Rodgers reportedly was rejected by the Minnesota Vikings, the Steelers emerged as the frontrunner to sign the four-time MVP. With Rodgers still unsigned back in April, some believed the Steelers were considering taking Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft. Sanders slipped to the fifth round before being snatched up by the Cleveland Browns, and the Steelers grabbed Ohio State QB Will Howard one round later. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers exits the field at MetLife Boland-Imagn Images With Howard clearly being drafted as a development project, it looked like Mason Rudolph was on track to start training camp as Pittsburgh's QB1 until the news everyone had been waiting for broke on Thursday and Rodgers was officially heading to Pittsburgh. Advertisement Hours after Gary Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette broke the news that Rodgers informed the team he was signing with them, the Steelers posted for the first time on X after the Rodgers news broke official confirming his signing. 'We have agreed to terms with QB Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract, pending the completion of a physical,' the team posted on X. The official announcement caused quite a stir among the team's fan base, and while some were excited about Rodgers' signing, many others flooded the comment section, expressing their unhappiness with Pittsburgh's new starting QB. 'This feels cheap and desperate. This is not a Pittsburgh Steeler,' one fan scoffed. Advertisement 'Congrats. You just signed the THIRD best QB in the division 🤣🤣,' another fan quipped. 'LMAO yall be doing anything but getting a real QB,' a third fan joked. 'Bro he is NOT saving yall 😭😭😭,' one user stated. 'Steelers really fumbling the bag this offseason lmao,' another replied. 'Just what the team needs, a locker room distraction at QB,' remarked one fan. In his lone season with the Jets (he didn't play in 2022 due to a torn Achilles in the season opener), Rodgers completed 63% of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and New York went just 5-12.

Jean-Clair Todibo is here to stay at West Ham – expect more front-foot defending
Jean-Clair Todibo stood forlornly, then gazed towards the technical area as he removed the white taping from his wrist. Moments earlier, he had grimaced in the direction of the West Ham United bench, having felt pain in his lower leg. The 25-year-old defender was consoled by team-mates but headed towards the tunnel knowing another spell on the sidelines awaited him. Advertisement It came during a chastening 4-1 away defeat against Manchester City on the first weekend in January. He had aggravated a previous calf problem and would be out this time for nearly six weeks. Todibo showed glimpses of his quality following his arrival on a season-long loan from French side Nice in August, a deal which carried an obligation to buy. But following the news that West Ham have now completed the signing of the centre-back on a five-year contract for £32.9million (€39m; $44.4m), doubts over his fitness linger. Todibo, who won two caps for France in 2023, made 27 Premier League appearances last season, 20 of them starts, but was substituted off on 11 occasions. Following Graham Potter's appointment as coach in January, the Frenchman was one of his preferred defensive options. Todibo, who had interest from Juventus and Newcastle United last summer before his move to the London Stadium, mostly featured alongside Maximilian Kilman in the middle of a back four but also played in a three-man defence. His ball-carrying ability is his strength but lapses in concentration and his aerial presence still require work. That said, his arrival at West Ham was considered a coup in a window that saw the departures of fellow central defenders Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma on season-long loans to Real Sociedad in Spain and Saudi Arabia's Al Orobah respectively. Todibo made his debut in August's opening-weekend home loss against Aston Villa as a late substitute but West Ham's then head coach Julen Lopetegui only introduced him to the starting XI gradually. A player once signed by Barcelona at age 19 came off the bench again at Crystal Palace the following weekend, started the Carabao Cup win over Bournemouth but got replaced at half-time and was then an unused sub in the next three league matches against City, Fulham and Chelsea. He did not make his first Premier League start until the 1-1 draw away to Brentford on September 28, six weeks after signing. Advertisement A mitigating factor behind his slow start was the fact he did not have a proper pre-season, featuring in Nice's friendlies against Lausanne (July 10) and Leganes (July 19) but not playing for them again as the move to West Ham gathered pace. 'I'm happy because the club gave me the time to get fit,' Todibo told the club's website after his first full 90 minutes that day in west London. 'It took me a bit of time to come back well. The game is more intense in the Premier League than in Ligue 1, more intense than all the leagues in the world, I think. Today I'm not 100 per cent, but I think I'm going to improve more with time, and have a good impact in the team.' However, the forthcoming months were laced with frustration. As a result of his calf injury, the centre-back missed games against Leicester City (December 3), Bournemouth (December 16), Villa (in the FA Cup, January 10), Fulham (January 14), Palace (January 18), Villa again (January 26) and Chelsea (February 2). Todibo did then offer encouragement as far his his fitness was concerned, starting 12 of the final 13 league fixtures from the middle of February. In an attempt to address the muscular difficulties that stunted his momentum, Todibo travelled home to France in January to get a second opinion from his private doctor of eight years. A scan revealed issues with his lower limb. His path to truly winning over the West Ham fans starts this summer. When fully fit, Todibo is capable of being a solid performer, someone whose skillset aligns with Potter's preferred style of play. He was admired by Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, and had trials with both before joining Toulouse from Les Lilas, an amateur club in the Paris area, at age 16 in summer 2016. Over the past nine years, Todibo has developed into an aggressive defender. The graphic below, which looks at his 'true' tackles — a combination of tackles won, tackles lost, and fouls conceded while attempting a tackle per 1,000 opposition touches — gives an indication of how often he likes to leave a mark when the opposition have the ball. Todibo ranked eighth among centre-backs with 900+ minutes of Premier League game time in this metric last season, while his true-tackle win rate of 73 per cent is also very high — which suggests he often backs that front-footedness up by escaping from a challenge with the ball more often than not. A weaker side of his game, however, is the ball in the air — though he is 6ft 3in (192cm), only nine Premier League centre-backs with 900-plus minutes last season won a lower proportion of their aerial duels. But, similar to his central-defensive colleague Kilman, there are no concerns with Todibo's passing ability. He is a strong ball-carrier and when in possession, rarely opts to go long. Having said that, there is scope to be more expansive with his varied passing range; around 8.5 per cent of Todibo's passes last season were progressive — just 11 top-flight centre-backs look forward with their passes less often. Dubai is Todibo's preferred destination when in search of rest and relaxation during the off-season. He is spending quality time with loved ones but is intent on avenging those debut-year setbacks and helping his new parent club return to previous heights. 'In France, we say 'Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour', which is like the saying 'Rome wasn't built in one day', because it takes time,' Todibo told West Ham's website in April. 'The manager (Potter) came and the situation was difficult, and we need to build something. We just need more time with this manager, because when you have the positives in the game, the result is going to come. 'There is no rush. You don't have to rush. I think if you want to be smart and productive, you should work for it. It's more like this and we prepare for the next season — because next season has to be big.'
