Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 30: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 30 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 30 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 30 wearer: RB Jaylen Warren: Warren is the only Steeler wearing No. 30 on the roster. All eyes are on the fourth-year Steelers running back to deliver in 2025 — his first season with Pittsburgh as the lead back after ex-Steeler Najee Harris signed with the Chargers this offseason. Last five Steelers to wear No. 30: Best No. 30 in Steelers history: CB Chad Scott Chad Scott is the best Steeler to ever wear No. 30. Selected with the 24th overall pick in the first round of the 1997 NFL Draft, Scott spent eight seasons with the Steel City — snagging 21 interceptions, four of which were pick-sixes, tied for the second-most in franchise history. A steady presence in the secondary during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Scott would finish out the final two seasons of his nine-year career as a Patriot — but remains the greatest to wear No. 30 in Pittsburgh.

Bears WR Rome Odunze makes bold claim about QB Caleb Williams
The hope and optimism around Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is extremely high coming into the 2025 season, and expectations are high even among teammates. With new head coach Ben Johnson leading the way this season, there is plenty of reason to believe that Williams will take a big leap in his growth and development, and wide receiver Rome Odunze believes Williams can develop into a star quarterback. Both Williams and Odunze were both first round picks for the Bears last season, and both are key pieces to the team's success for the foreseeable future, along with their new head coach. On Thursday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler appeared on "Get Up" and revealed a bold claim from Odunze: Williams can be the best quarterback in the NFL. "Rome Odunze told me that Caleb Williams can literally be the best quarterback in the NFL," Fowler said before giving his point of view of what he's seen with the Bears so far. "He's far away from that right now, Ben Johnson has been relentless on him with the details. They're just trying to get him to do the basics right now and then they'll work on the off-scripted plays, the mobility, all his strengths, that will come. Chicago Bears, elite quarterback play is an oxymoron. As far as the ability (of Williams), they see it, the players recognize it, they just have to get it out of him. They're treating him like a rookie right now." While Odunze has high hopes for Williams, it's clear that the Bears and the new coaching staff are going through a full rebuild of their young quarterback. Before Williams can approach best quarterback in the NFL territory, the Bears are just looking to get him to fix himself from a lost and disappointing rookie season, and the bad habits he may have picked up along the way.

7 free agents the Ravens could target after the preseason opener vs. the Colts
With the preseason opener completed, we're looking at seven free agents Baltimore could look to add to the roster with Week 1 looming. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the NFL's best rosters and a loaded offensive unit looking to expound on the record-setting performance from 2024. The Ravens weren't overly active during the first wave of NFL free agency, but they added DeAndre Hopkins to the passing game and Jake Hummel to the special teams. Baltimore retained Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, and Tylan Wallace, while the restructuring of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in salary cap space. Even with the inactivity and loss of Brandon Stephens, Malik Harrison, Patrick Mekari, Josh Jones, and Chris Board, the team is still in the midst of a Super Bowl window. The team is set to begin preseason play and could look to add more talent to the roster in key positions. With the preseason opener completed, we're looking at seven free agents Baltimore could look to add to the roster with Week 1 looming. Brandon Scherff, G Another potential addition for depth, the veteran offensive guard had a pass block win rate of 93.8% last year, which ranked 14th among guards, according to ESPN. Za'Darius Smith, Edge Last season, with the Browns and Lions, Smith had nine sacks and 38 pressures. Matthew Judon, Edge Another former Ravens defensive end, Judon, had a 15.5-sack season but only 5.5 sacks in 2024. Jedrick Wills Jr., OT Wills is sitting out the year, but could be in line for a position switch like Mekhi Becton, and he's still a solid pass blocker who has a career pass block win rate of 92.0%. Justin Simmons, S Simmons signed with Atlanta last offseason following eight years in Denver. Last season, Simmons recorded two interceptions, seven passes defended, and 62 total tackles in 16 games played in 2024, with his PFF grade ranking 113th out of 170 safeties. Kyzir White, LB A liability in the passing game, White is an astute run stopper. In his second season with the Arizona Cardinals, White started all 17 games, making 137 total tackles, one interception, 2.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, and eight quarterback hits. CB Rasul Douglas (BUF) The former Eagles, Packers, and Bills cornerback excels in zone coverage and can be a playmaker for a Ravens team looking for closers on the outside. According to ESPN, Douglas was below average in coverage DVOA metric this past season but ranked third in the league in 2023 among qualifying cornerbacks. Douglas lacked big plays, with only five passes defended in 2024, but had at least 13 in each of the three previous seasons. Asante Samuel Jr., cornerback The Ravens could sign Samuel, who has experience playing in the slot. Samuel Jr. allowed under a 63% completion percentage when targeted in his first three seasons.
