  • Two Ohio State defenders appear on Lott Impact Trophy watch list

    Two Ohio State defenders appear on Lott Impact Trophy watch list

    It’s not quite college football watch list season, but it’s close. Look no further for proof than the earliest of the watch list announcements taking place this week with the unveiling of the Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list for 2025. All told, 42 players appear on this year’s version of the watch list, and two of those will be wearing Scarlet and Gray on Saturdays.

    It’s no surprise that Ohio State safety Caleb Downs is on the list as arguably the best defensive player in the country (hint: it won’t be the last watch list he appears on), but linebacker Sonny Styles is also among the names to keep an eye on.

    The Lott IMPACT Trophy, named after former NFL Hall of Fame star Ronnie Lott, annually goes to the “Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year, college football’s top defensive player who has had the biggest impact on his team both on and off the field. IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity, all characteristics exhibited by Lott during his illustrious playing career.”

    The winner will be announced in December and is selected by a national voter panel, consisting of former winners, members of the media, coaches, and members of the Board of Directors of The IMPACT Foundation. So, stay tuned after the season gets going to see what names continue to be considered for a rather prestigious award.

    Things will really start to heat up with these preseason watch lists as things get closer and closer to fall camp, and as they do, we’ll let you know the ones that have a little Buckeye flair.

  • Micah Parsons skipped second week of Cowboys OTAs (as he should)

    Micah Parsons skipped second week of Cowboys OTAs (as he should)

    Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer praised linebacker Micah Parsons for participating in the first week of the team’s annual OTA sessions. For the second week, Parsons wasn’t present.

    Yes, the workouts are voluntary. And, no, Parsons shouldn’t volunteer to risk injury until he gets the long-term contract he should have gotten a year ago.

    The Cowboys continue to misplay the situation. They drag their feet. And the price goes up. And the player is less prepared when it’s time to go play games that count.

    It’s a ridiculous way of doing business. But the Cowboys keep repeating the pattern.

    It became obvious last year, when the Cowboys were on the front end of (again) waiting too long and then paying too much for receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott. Cowboys management is clueless when it comes to managing young talent.

    If they would have paid Parsons last year, it would have cost a lot less than $40 million per year. If they would have paid Parsons immediately after the end of the season, the deal likely would have been closer to $35 million than $45 million. Now, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has set a new bar. Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt could push it higher before Parsons puts pen to paper.

    Regardless, the price will keep going up. And Parsons won’t be as ready for the regular season as he could have been.

    Especially if the foot dragging lasts into camp and Parsons holds out and the Cowboys eventually and inevitably cave as Week 1 approaches.

    There are many reasons why the Cowboys have gone 30 years without an appearance in the NFC Championship. One very real reason is the chronic stubbornness of owner Jerry Jones to pay his core players sooner than later.

    Our guess? He knows it. And he’d rather have the latest unsettled contract become the top story for sports media than to see his team benefit from the relative irrelevance of peace.

  • Eli Manning wants Arch Manning, Jaxson Dart to have their own journeys with Texas and New York Giants

    Eli Manning wants Arch Manning, Jaxson Dart to have their own journeys with Texas and New York Giants

    ORLANDO, Fla. — Jaxson Dart and Arch Manning both have lofty expectations for their future careers, with Dart being the second quarterback taken in the 2025 NFL Draft and Manning carrying the legacy of the most famous quarterback family in history into his first season as the full-time starter at Texas. 

    Eli Manning has a connection to both as Arch’s uncle and Dart as Ole Miss alums drafted by the New York Giants. Manning has plenty of experience to share with both young QBs, knowing exactly what it feels like to be the youngest Manning trying to live up to the name and having navigated the journey from Oxford, Mississippi to the Meadowlands, with the hopes of the Giants franchise placed on his shoulders. 

    Manning spoke to media on Friday at EA Studios in Orlando for a Madden 26 launch event and offered his thoughts on both Dart and Arch as they get set to take big steps forward in their careers. With Dart, Manning is encouraged by a consistent theme of growth throughout his career, and says all indications from his visits to Giants camp is that the 25th overall pick is going about things the right way at Giants camp. 

    “I’ve been to some practices, and I’ve known Jaxson for the last three years, since he’s been at Ole Miss and gotten to watch his career. So I’ve been just impressed with Jaxson, because I’ve seen him get better every single year,” Manning said. “And that’s what you want your players to do, to make improvements — even though you’re playing well, not being content and wanting to make those improvements every day. So I’ve kind of seen that. It sounds like he’s doing that with the Giants. Every day, you’re going to learn something, and you’re going to make mistakes. That’s just part of it, but learning from those mistakes, not…

  • Aaron Rodgers has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he is signing with them, per report

    Aaron Rodgers has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he is signing with them, per report

    Getty Images

    While the Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping that Aaron Rodgers signs with them, the quarterback “has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he’s coming,” NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero said on Friday during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show.” 

    While Rodgers has not yet committed to playing for Pittsburgh, all signs continue to point to the four-time MVP eventually signing with the Steelers, who just completed their first week of OTAs. Rodgers has reportedly continued to stay in communication with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and has also been in contact with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Rodgers himself recently alluded to the likelihood of him signing with the Steelers. 

    On multiple occasions, Rodgers has said that personal reasons has been the biggest reasons why he has not made an affirmative decision on his plans for the upcoming season. 

    “I don’t think it was fair to the Steelers or anyone to make a decision while I’m dealing with a lot off the field,” Rodgers said back in April. “At the same time, I want to keep the lines of communication open. That’s why I’ve talked to all the important people. The people that need to know know what’s going on, and the people that don’t make up shit about me. And that really hasn’t changed since COVID.”

  • Michigan football adds two analysts to recruiting department

    Michigan football adds two analysts to recruiting department

    Michigan football recruiting has been on something of a slow burn, which is to be expected around this time of year. But the Wolverines are still very active behind the scenes.

    With official visits slated to commence on Friday, marking the month-long slog toward building the 2026 class with recruits making it to campus, the maize and blue have been doing more than meets the eye. Per social media, Michigan has added two new analysts to the recruiting team, growing the department just as head coach Sherrone Moore had promised he would do when he was hired in January 2024.

    An in-state prospect with SEC ties

    Originally a recruit in the 2018 class, Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary’s running back Tyler Markray ended up being recruited by (former Michigan secondary coach) Steve Clinkscale and ultimately committed to him at Kentucky. He had limited production in Lexington, with four carries for 62 yards and a touchdown in his career, with the score coming on a 45-yard carry against Tennessee-Martin in 2019.

    Markray made the transition to a behind-the-scenes role, accepting a job with Western Michigan’s recruiting department earlier this year. But the Wolverines hired him away quickly, with Markray announcing he’s joined the Michigan football recruiting department as an analyst.

    A former Ohio-based player joins the Wolverines

    From the 2019 class, originally from Pittsburgh, Anthony Johnson played defensive end his senior year of high school at Cleveland (Ohio) Heights. He originally committed to Bowling Green, where he appeared in three games but injury sidelined him and he transferred to Youngstown State, where he appeared in 36 games. After the 2023 season, he entered the transfer portal and originally committed to Bret Bielema and Illinois, where he spent spring, but after spring ball, he transferred to Pitt. However, during…

  • The CW says so long to Inside the NFL

    The CW says so long to Inside the NFL

    Inside the NFL is on the outside looking in, again.

    A must-watch highlights repository in the days before the Internet, Inside the NFL has struggled in recent years. John Ourand of Puck reports that the show will be on the move, again.

    The CW held the rights to the weekly program for the past two years. It has decided not to renew the show.

    After an extended run at HBO, Inside the NFL spent 13 years at Showtime before a brief run at Paramount+. It’s unknown where it will land in 2025.

    As Ourand notes, there aren’t many options. Ourand adds that the league has opened talks with “several interested parties,” but no announcement is imminent. Some network may view buying the show as a price to be paid to otherwise have a good relationship with the league.

    Still, the overriding question is whether anyone will watch. It never creates news, never moves the needle. Even with Bill Belichick on the show in 2024, it was a tree that fell in an empty forest. (Indeed, the only news it made last year came from the hiring of Belichick.)

    If the show is going to survive, it needs to be ripped down and reimagined. Highlights are everywhere. Debates are everywhere. Interviews are everywhere. Inside the NFL needs to come up with a fresh approach that gives the audience something that it wants — and something that it can’t get anywhere else.

    In an ever crowded landscape of NFL media options, it’s entirely possible that this is impossible. And the inescapa

    ble conclusion could be that there’s no longer a seat at the table for Inside the NFL.

  • TCU’s Sonny Dykes jokingly refers to season opener vs. Bill Belichick, North Carolina as ‘bad scheduling’

    TCU’s Sonny Dykes jokingly refers to season opener vs. Bill Belichick, North Carolina as ‘bad scheduling’

    Getty Images

    TCU will be in familiar territory when it opens the 2025 college football season. The Horned Frogs are in for a high-profile opener Sept. 1 at North Carolina, and all eyes will be on the opposing sideline when Bill Belichick puts on the headset for the first time with the Tar Heels. It lines up to be the second opener against a marquee first-year coach in three years for Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs, who in 2023 were at the center of the college football universe for all the wrong reasons.

    Then the reigning College Football Playoff runners-up, the Horned Frogs entered the 2023 opener as massive favorites over Colorado. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter enjoyed an explosive afternoon, though, as they led Deion Sanders to a shootout victory in his first game as an FBS coach.

    “Not sure how we pulled that off,” Dykes quipped to ESPN, referencing the 2025 opener against UNC. “It’s called bad scheduling. Hopefully we’ll fare better than we did last time. We didn’t play well last time, but we’ve got a second chance.”

    Expectations for Belichick’s foray into college football are all over the board. On one hand, the longtime New England Patriots coach is an eight-time Super Bowl champion who could take UNC to new heights with his unmatched coaching acumen and winning experience. On the other hand, he is entirely new to college football and inherited a program that took steps backward each of the last two seasons.

    Where should Bill Belichick rank among college football coaches? A middling newcomer or strategic…
