FRESNO, Calif. — Based solely on 40-yard dash times, Xavier Worthy ranks as the NFL’s fastest player. But even someone with his speed can’t outrun the magnifying glass placed over the personal lives of professional athletes.

Especially when things turn messy and are packed with sordid details.

Worthy’s first touch as a Kansas City ...Read more

If the offensive line is a top-level, no-excuses priority for the Dolphins, I’ve got a question about how you’d like to see them proceed in the offseason.

Would you like to see the Dolphins simply “invest” in the offensive line, as general manager Chris Grier suggested they’d do this offseason, or should they double down on their ...Read more

FOXBORO, Calif. — At this stage of his career, a winding, decorated career, what Stefon Diggs wants for himself is what he wants for his new team.

A return to the good old days.

A torn ACL robbed Diggs of a seventh straight 1,000-yard season last year, his first and only in Houston after reaching four consecutive Pro Bowls with Buffalo. On ...Read more

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers are not sure where they stand — or should we say push — when it comes to the play that will be hotly debated when the NFL owners meetings begin Sunday at The Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

They are willing to listen before they decide if the "Tush Push" — the controversial short-yardage play popularized by...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are parting ways with their pep band, the group of musicians who serenade the stadium on Sundays and helped make “Fly, Eagles Fly” the unofficial anthem of Philadelphia.

PITTSBURGH — What is that stupid cliche about quarterbacks that goes something like, “If you have two quarterbacks, you really have none” or some nonsense like that?

Welcome to the Steelers version of that, which is, “If you lose two quarterbacks in one offseason, you really, really have none.”

I can’t think of a way the Steelers ...Read more

NEW YORK — The Giants have replaced Daniel Jones with two quarterbacks who have won a higher percentage of their games and gotten in the end zone more often during the past three NFL seasons.

But Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston also have turned the ball over at higher rates and taken as many or more sacks than Jones has, calling into ...Read more

The worst-kept secret in football might not even qualify as a secret anymore.

The 49ers, desperate to reset their balance sheets ahead of the 2025 season for reasons that straddle the line between hubris and ignorance, are trying to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk before April 1.

Doing so would not only rid them of the injured receiver but, ...Read more

SEATTLE — Quarterback Russell Wilson is on to his third team since the Seahawks traded him three years ago this month.

That became official Tuesday afternoon ...Read more

LOS ANGELES — Puka Nacua already knows when he wants to retire.

It's not anytime soon, but it's probably a lot sooner than Rams fans might want to think about right now.

Asked during a recent podcast appearance how he might know when it's time to hang up his cleats, the 23-year-old star receiver did not hesitate in answering.

"I know I want...Read more

MIAMI — Nick Westbrook-Ikhine won’t be the Miami Dolphins’ savior.

The free agent addition is a solid NFL receiver, maybe even an NFL starter in the right scheme.

He’s got decent size (6-foot-2, 211 pounds), but is far from the next Mike Evans or DeAndre Hopkins, towering over NFL cornerbacks.

He’s scored 19 touchdowns in 78 games, ...Read more

PITTSBURGH — There's no way I was alone in picturing Aaron Rodgers walking along the Monongahela River, towel slung over his shoulders, perhaps a mile or so from the spot on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail where media members camped out for a few hours Friday.

You've seen all 4,000 or so fake photos ...Read more
