Steelers' Jalen Ramsey makes NFL Top-100 list ahead of training camp
The Pittsburgh Steelers recognition tour keeps on rolling — as the Steel City's newest cornerback was just named to the NFL Top 100 List. On Wednesday, Steelers' three-time All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey was ranked as the No. 66 player for the upcoming 2025 season — down 41 spots from his No. 21 ranking in 2024. Here is what NFL writer Christian Gonzalez had to say about Ramsey's selection: "Locking up opposing No. 1 wide receivers isn't the only thing Ramsey does well," Gonzalez wrote. "He locks in his eighth consecutive appearance on the Top 100 list. Ramsey appeared in every game in 2024 after missing nearly half of the 2023 season and continued his dominant ways in Year 9. In the offseason, he and the Dolphins mutually agreed to explore other options. Now, Ramsey will be wearing a new uniform in 2025 after Miami traded him to the Steelers in June." The Steelers acquired Ramsey, along with Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith, from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a late-round pick swap and star FS Minkah Fitzpatrick. As the Steelers reported to training camp on Wednesday, HC Mike Tomlin couldn't help but praise Ramsey's versatility on defense — and it's expected he will play a part in replacing Fitzpatrick's presence at free safety.

Three Ohio State football players receive 2025 Big Ten Preseason Honors
The Big Ten Conference released the players included in its 2025 Preseason honors on Wednesday, and as usual, there are a number of Ohio State players included in the 16 names. The Buckeyes tied Penn State with the most players honored, with three each. The three players donning Scarlet and Gray for the 2025 season named to the Big Ten Preseason Honors list are safety Caleb Downs, receiver Jeremiah Smith, and linebacker Sonny Styles. Smith was the only player on the list of names selected unanimously by the media. Smith burst onto the scene last year as a freshman. He hauled in 76 passes for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns, putting together arguably the best season by a freshman wide receiver ever. Downs is widely considered the best defensive player in the country and should continue to be inserted all over the field to wreak havoc on the OSU defense once again. He tallied 81 tackles and two interceptions last season. Styles returns for his final season and is looking to build on a breakout year in which he finished with 100 tackles and six sacks. He should be even better this year.
