NFL Top 100 Players of 2025: Steelers' Cam Heyward selection up 15 spots than last year
Heading into his 15th season, Heyward was selected as the 83rd-best player in 2025 — up 15 spots from his selection at No. 98 last year.
Heyward's 2025 ranking still doesn't do his play justice, as he seemingly reversed the hands of father time last season, accumulating eight sacks, 12 tackles for loss, and 20 QB hits — leading to his fourth First-Team All-Pro selection.
Even at 36 years old, Heyward is one-of-one at the defensive tackle position in the NFL — but it's his wisdom and veteran experience that will be invaluable to the development of two Steelers rookies: first-round DT Derrick Harmon and fifth-round DT Yahya Black.
Heyward isn't looking to simply pass the torch in 2025 — he has Super Bowl aspirations alongside what's shaping up to be an incredibly stacked Steelers roster.

Why an ex-NFL lineman told Jared Verse to watch all of his bad plays from 2024 season
Los Angeles Rams star edge rusher Jared Verse is going into his second NFL season with a lot of expectations. Not only did he excel in his first year, but Verse won NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year and immediately became a household name among defensive players. But, as he heads into 2025, Verse admitted he knows what he needs to correct. And he told reporters at training camp that he was instructed by former Florida State and NFL defensive tackle Cory Simon to specifically watch all of his bad plays from the 2024 season. 'He said, 'Hey, you had a good season. Congratulations on all you've done but go watch the whole season, not just your good plays but the bad plays.' So I've watched every game probably about three/four times each," Verse said Thursday. "Just watching everything I've done wrong and everything I've done right. And you realize how many bad plays you had with all the accolades and all that stuff. You realize how much [more] you can grow. And, don't let your head get too high because now, I'm thinking of how much better I can get. People are like, 'oh, you're good, you're good.' No, I've got so much farther to go.' This is called growth. And it's why Verse is developing into one of the best edge rushers in the NFL. While he had a lot of quarterback pressures as a rookie, he only finished with 4.5 sacks. To become an elite talent, Verse needs to turn those plays into game-changing moments. The Rams are equipped to help him do that. Verse will once again be surrounded by capable defensive lineman like Kobie Turner, Brade Fiske and fellow edge rusher Byron Young. L.A. also added Poona Ford as a great run-stuffer in the middle of the defensive line. Now, it'll be on Verse to see his flaws and correct them in his second season.

New York Giants' Brian Daboll named one of NFL coaches under most pressure in 2025
There are quite a few NFL head coaches who will be under the gun this season. On average, there are six to eight vacancies every offseason that need to be filled due to coaches being fired. Last January, the New York Giants, after completing a deflating 3-14 season, decided they didn't want to be in the market for a new head coach and general manager. Co-owner John Mara decided to keep both head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen despite losing 25 of their last 34 games. "I had a conversation with (partner) Steve Tisch, and we spoke some more over the weekend. We came to the decision that staying with both of them is the best course of action for us right now. I think in Brian's case, he was the Coach of the Year two years ago. That didn't disappear all of a sudden. I still believe he can do that again," Mara said. "In Joe's case, I thought we had an outstanding draft class this year. I thought we had a really good free agency period. I really like the staff that he's put together and built. I think that they're the right two guys to lead us going forward. I understand, believe me, that that's not going to be the most popular decision in Giant land. But we believe it's the right decision for us going forward." Schoen appears to have had another strong draft and has fortified the quarterback position with veterans Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart. The Giants' offense will likely be better in 2025. For a team that lost eight games by one score or less in 2024, the upgraded offense should lead to more wins. That doesn't mean that the pressure is off Daboll, however. Mara did say that he was "running out of patience" and that if he were in the same position this year that he'd take the heat for it. In a recent breakdown focusing on the players, coaches, and GMs under the most pressure this year, ESPN's Bill Barnwell listed Daboll as a candidate for the hot seat. Two years ago, a pair of first-time head coaches in the NFC led their teams to unexpected playoff berths, but they've gone in different directions since. While Daboll and Kevin O'Connell unsurprisingly took a step back in their second season, O'Connell's Vikings returned back to the playoffs in his third season with a 14-win campaign, all while cycling through a series of different quarterbacks because of injuries. The Giants decided to entrench around quarterback Daniel Jones, but they went 9-25 over the past two seasons, including a 3-13 mark with Jones before they cut him late last season. Did that unexpected run to the 2022 divisional round raise expectations too quickly? Daboll didn't suddenly forget how to scheme open throwing lanes or create conflicts for defenders with the quarterback run game. He was never able to coax the same level of play out of Jones, though, who didn't always have the sort of help a quarterback would want. The move to sign Drew Lock as a potential replacement delivered predictably unsatisfying results. Did the Giants get fooled by hiring a guy who was adjacent to Josh Allen -- he previously was the Bills' offensive coordinator -- then falling further in love with him because Jones posted a career-low outlier of an interception rate (1.1%) in 2022? The clock is ticking on Daboll's chances of proving he wasn't a one-year mirage in New York. The Giants finally overhauled their quarterback room, flirting with Matthew Stafford before signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. They used their first-round pick on Jaxson Dart, who represents the long-term prospect they presumably expected to draft in 2023 before Jones' career season in 2022 sent them in another direction. If Dart shows promise, Daboll will be able to make the case that his continued employment is the best thing for his quarterback's future. If not? He should be in demand as an offensive coordinator elsewhere, but his time in New York will likely come to an end. Mara once warned that Daboll could go from "Bono to Bozo" real quick, and flatlining again in 2025 would almost certainly result in the coach's firing.

Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard: Aidan Hutchinson looks better than he was before injury
Kelvin Sheppard will have a great chance for success in his first year as the Lions' defensive coordinator if defensive end Aidan Hutchinson regains the form he had before fracturing his leg in Week Six last season, but Sheppard isn't stopping there when it comes to what he's seen from Hutchinson early in training camp. Hutchinson rehabbed with an eye on a potential return for the Super Bowl and he kept working after those hopes were dashed by the Commanders in the divisional round of the playoffs. He's been practicing without restrictions at camp and Sheppard said that the work has been of an even higher quality than he expected to see. 'Listen I'm not saying anything about numbers, statistics or any of that. But, I see a better player than we had last year,' Sheppard said, via Eric Woodyard of 'And you might be like, 'Woah.' Like, that's the same thing I said when I saw him out there. I'm like, 'Woah.'' Hutchinson broke his ankle while at Michigan in 2020 and then returned with 14 sacks to propel the Wolverines to the playoffs the next year. He also propelled himself to the Lions with the second overall pick in the 2022 draft and Sheppard's comments suggest a similar rebound may be taking shape this time around.
