We all know it takes more than a single season to accurately assess the success of any draft class. Our own Josh Sunderbruch does a phenomenal job of explaining why this is and looking back at a more reasonable benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment to look back and see how […]
We’re in that slow period between the Super Bowl and the new league year where it sometimes feels like the NFL world has ground to a halt. And that makes it a perfect time to ask: Where in the world are our Behind the Steel Curtain readers? We don’t want or need your address or […]
When the Packers hired Jonathan Gannon to run their defense, the first question most had was “what base will the Packers run now?” Gannon’s résumé features both 4-3 and 3-4. As head coach of the Arizona Cardinals he deployed a 3-4 front, while 4-3 was the preferred flavor during his time as defensive coordinator of […]

We’re beyond the Super Bowl but not quite to the start of the new league year so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. Let’s pass the time by talking about the Minnesota Vikings. Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Vikings player or coach, and who was it? You could always […]
The Dodgers take a trip east across the desert to face the San Francisco Giants on Friday in Scottsdale, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto making his final start before heading to play for Japan in the World Baseball Classic. Yamamoto threw 30 pitches in his 1 2/3 innings last Saturday against the Angels in the Dodgers’ Cactus […]
The “noise” at the 2026 NFL combine is significantly less than what everyone is used to. Some of that is due to the quite limited quarterback class. Some due to the mediocre NFL free agency class. A little bit is due to a lot of media and agents being either delayed by weather or not […]
Another offseason with a major need at wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It seems like this time around, the Steelers are dedicated to adding depth to their receiver room that they have desperately needed for years now. During his Tuesday press conference at the 2026 NFL Combine, Steelers general manager Omar Khan took ownership […]
This series breaks down the Eagles’ key free agents through the lens of the 2025 season. I will get into what the film showed, how each player fits the scheme, and whether I want them to return. If I include cap numbers in the summary, they are from Spotrac, and all data is via SumerSports. […]

The Jets have traded defensive end Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans for defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat. The story was broken by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. I’m sure this move won’t be popular among large portions of the Jets fanbase, but I think it’s a good one. Johnson has had one good season out of four […]
It’s no secret that the Las Vegas Raiders need to get better in the trenches this offseason, especially on the interior offensive line. Luckily, the 2026 NFL free agency class is loaded with guards and centers, giving the Raiders plenty of options to address those positions on the open market. Also, Jackson Powers-Johnson’s versatility provides […]
Day 1 of the NFL Combine is here and kicks off with the defensive line and line backers. While the Los Angeles Rams have these positions stocked fairly well for 2026, it doesn’t hurt to look for and identify prospects that can either fill out positional units or upgrade the talent therein. Are there any […]
We are two months away from the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. This week the annual NFL Scouting Combine is taking place in Indianapolis. After teams get an up close and personal look at those that have been invited to the combine, we’ll start to get a better idea of which players certain teams might […]
When ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans agreed to a trade on Thursday morning for pass rusher Jermaine Johnson, the first thought was, “I wonder how hard Robert Saleh pushed for Johnson during the 2025 trade deadline.” Sure enough, Connor Hughes, who covers the Jets, tweeted that the San […]
James Conner. Trey Benson. Bam Knight. All Arizona Cardinals running backs. What else do they have in common? Each one became injured this past season and was handed a bedroll because IR was their new bed and breakfast home. Arizona has a running back problem.

Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver and returner Tory Horton only played half the season yet finished fourth in the regular season for total touchdowns. Unfortunately, a shin injury following a two-touchdown performance against the Washington Commanders proved unrecoverable for the remainder of the year. Speaking with media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, Seahawks head […]
With the NFL Scouting Combine underway, the Kansas City Chiefs have been busy meeting with top candidates in the 2026 NFL Draft class. On Wednesday, the defensive linemen of this year’s class met with reporters. Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey — the fifth-overall player on The Athletic’s consensus big board — revealed that he […]
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Cornerbacks and safeties took to the podium on Thursday to speak with the media at the NFL Combine, and no one drew a bigger crowd than Ohio State’s Caleb Downs. The consensus top safety in this draft class is coming off a strong season with the Buckeyes, picking off two passes and […]
UPDATE: Texans expect to name Jerry Schuplinksi as new QB coach. As if on cue, just as this morning’s C.J. Stroud article was posting, the Texans were addressing 1 of the bullet points therein. From the earlier post: As hypothesized, the people speaking into Stroud’s ear might not be saying the things this particular young man […]
Now that the dust has settled on the 2025 NFL season, it’s time to take a look at the results of those weekly confidence surveys we had y’all take throughout the season. It was a season of ups and downs across the league and at home for the Carolina Panthers and that is well reflected […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry has a lengthy to-do list when it comes to fixing the offense in the coming months. Depending on which position group one values the most, Berry’s top priority will rotate between fixing one of the league’s least-productive wide receiver groups, working with head coach Todd Monken to dig through […]
The Dallas Cowboys have been busy at the NFL combine. America’s Team is coming through all of the prospects to see what they can learn so that they can make the best decision during the NFL draft. It is an exhaustive process, but the stones don’t turn themselves over. On Wednesday we got a large […]
After signing back with the New Orleans Saints last offseason, center Will Clapp was set to be a great depth option, especially with Erik McCoy’s recent injury streak. Sadly, in preseason, Clapp suffered a season-ending foot injury. Although this did not affect the season, especially with the addition of Luke Fortner, Clapp was depth the […]
Morning, all! ESPN wasn’t terribly impressed with the Rangers’ offseason, giving them a C+ and noting that they saved some money but didn’t make the team any better. Sebastian Walcott had a good feeling going into his elbow surgery and wasn’t surprised he ended up only needing internal brace surgery. Nathan Eovaldi was working mostly […]
