ESPN’s TOP 10 OFFENSIVE TACKLES
So far this summer, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been well represented in the ESPN top 10 rankings compiled by NFL executives, scouts, coaches and some media members. Though Cameron Heyward was snubbed in the defensive line rankings, and T.J. Watt fell down the board significantly in the EDGE position, it was expected the Steelers wouldn’t get much love in the OT rankings.
That ended up being the case on Saturday morning as Troy Fautanu wasn’t mentioned in the rankings.
With his move over to left tackle for the 2026 season, there are a lot of unknowns surrounding the third-year player. But if things go the way the Steelers believe it will with Fautanu at left tackle, it won’t be a surprise if he’s in at least the honorable mention conversation in these rankings next year.
SEAHAWKS AGREE TO SALE
Shortly after winning Super Bowl LX over the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks announced the intention to put the team up for sale. Now, that process is all but complete.
According to multiple reporters Saturday evening, the Seahawks and former owner Paul G. Allen’s estate agreed to a reporter sale of $9.612 billion, setting a new record.
JAMES HARRISON’S SUPER BOWL PICK-6 NAMED BEST EVER
The accolades that the historic 100-yard pick-6 in Super Bowl XLIII by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison against the Arizona Cardinals continue to roll in, even all these years later.
One analyst believes the pick-6, which helped the Steelers win their sixth Super Bowl in franchise history, is the best play in Super Bowl history. Podcast host Dan Hanzus of Heed The Call called it that this week.
“James Harrison is a monster. He was so intimidating, and I will say the single-greatest play in the history of the Super Bowl is his pick-6, 100-yard return against the Arizona Cardinals as time expired at the end of the first half,” Hanzus said. “Just an incredible feat of athleticism…”
It was an incredible play, and he wasn’t even supposed to drop into coverage in that instance. But all these years later, everyone remains glad that Harrison freelanced a bit and made the play of his life.
