DT Cameron Heyward (7x Pro Bowl, 4x All Pro, Pittsburgh Steelers)

DEVELOPED HERE. Downs is one of the top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, just like Nick Bosa in the 2019 class and Cameron Heyward in the 2011 class. While Downs must wait another year to make his professional debut, Bosa and Heyward have been kicking it in the league for a long time — especially Heyward, who will enter his 15th NFL season this fall.


Fowler also ranked the top defensive tackles in the NFL this week. He listed Heyward No. 10 behind Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants), Chris Jones (Kansas City Chiefs), Jalen Carter (Philadelphia Eagles), Jeffery Simmons (Tennessee Titans), Quinnen Williams (New York Jets), Leonard Williams (Seattle Seahawks), Nnamdi Madubuike (Baltimore Ravens), DeForest Buckner (Indianapolis Colts) and Vita Vea (Tampa Bay Bucaneers).

Heyward fueled his own Steeler legend with an age-35 performance that included a first-team All-Pro berth. Fighting off inevitable decline, Heyward produced 8 sacks, 20 quarterback hits and a league-high 8 batted passes. The difference from a down 2023 campaign was simple.
"He was healthier," an AFC executive said. "Got past the nagging injuries from 2023 and performed back up to his standard. He's been good for a long time."
Opposing quarterbacks posted a 1.0 QBR on dropbacks when Heyward applied the first pressure. Translation: When he got deep into the backfield, he made the play, forcing 17 incompletions on the year.

2022 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

The 2022 WR class was terrible lol.
That class didn't have a chance though. Besides almost all of them constantly being injured, they were sandwiched between 2 amazing WR classes in 2021(Egbuka and MHjr) and 2023(Tate, Inniss and Rodgers). And then on top of that, if any of them had even stayed until their 3rd years, they would have to compete against one of the greatest HS WRs ever in JJ Smith in 2024 along with Mylan Graham. That was a throwaway class.

Lionel Messi added another record to his list of career achievements as he scored a pair of goals to lead Inter Miami CF to a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution.

The brace at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night made Messi the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four straight league games, all of which were wins.

SG Malaki Branham (B1G Freshman of the Year, Washington Wizards)

San Antonio Spurs Trade Malaki Branham to Washington Wizards After Three Seasons

Login to view embedded media
The No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Branham started strong in his rookie season in San Antonio, starting 32 games and averaging 10.2 points per contest. His production decreased slightly to 9.2 points per game in his sophomore season, but he still started 29 games. His role decreased significantly last season, however, as Branham played just 9.1 minutes per game with zero starts and averaged five points per appearance.

His role in the Spurs’ backcourt was unlikely to increase after the Spurs used the No. 2 overall pick to draft Rutgers guard Dylan Harper to pair with 2024 first-round pick Stephon Castle and veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox. In Washington, however, he’ll have the opportunity for a fresh start for a team that went just 18-64 last season.

That said, he’ll still have to earn his way into the Wizards’ rotation as they already upgraded their backcourt this offseason by trading for veteran guard CJ McCollum and drafting Texas guard Tre Johnson, giving them an overstocked roster of guards and wings that they’ll need to make some cuts from.
