Running back Miles Sanders, who started only one season at Penn State, became the 17th Woodland Hills graduate to enter the NFL when the Philadelphia Eagles picked him in the second round Friday night. The Eagles chose Sanders with the 53rd overall pick, 10 years after they used the same-numbered...

Albert Guzzo, the athletic director at Charles W. Flanagan High School, was standing near his team’s bench during the Florida Class 8A state championship game against Osceola. During a break, the referee approached Guzzo with a question. “Do you have Osceola’s playbook?” he said. Guzzo tried not to be offended...

It’s a good time to be a Steelers fan. Finally. The disenfranchised can return to the fold. The lapsed can be born again. The Toxic Twins are gone. As your favorite super genius said when Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown first reached prominence, you don’t win with guys like that....

The Pittsburgh Steelers are having a get-together. Fans are invited to the team’s annual Draft Party from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday. Steelers Nation Unite Members and season ticket holders will enjoy question and answer sessions in the PNC Champions Club with former Steelers Craig Wolfley and Merril Hoge as...

We all know what Devin Bush will be wearing come September — black and gold. But we weren’t exactly sure what he was wearing on Thursday for the NFL draft when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the first round. He’s set to be introduced to the media at 5...

Kevin Colbert is in his 20th draft with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and in only three of them has he moved up in the first round to select a player the organization coveted. The Steelers general manager did it Thursday night. He dealt the 20th overall selection, plus a second-round pick...

Feeling emotional? If you’re not, you will be shortly. Steelers first-round draft pick Devin Bush listened to a message from family before he was picked with the No. 10 overall selection Thursady night. His mother, father and sisters talked about his childhood, how much he means to them, how proud...

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert worked his magic, trading up for the Broncos’ first-round pick to select Michigan inside linebacker Devin Bush at No. 10 in the NFL Draft. Bush was among the most-coveted linebackers in the draft, and most expected he would not have been available by the...

I’d give the Steelers an “A-” for their move up into the top 10 to draft Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. It would’ve been an “A” if general manager Kevin Colbert could’ve talked Denver into his own line of schtick that the 66th pick is really a second-round pick and not...

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t just get their target when they traded up in the NFL Draft to select Michigan inside linebacker Devin Bush in the first round. They made a splash by leapfrogging the Cincinnati Bengals to do it. The AFC North rivals both needed to address that position, but...

Devin Bush could become a human eraser for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The inside linebacker is coming to Pittsburgh so he can erase quarterbacks on blitzes, running backs at the line of scrimmage and receivers over the middle. But the 2019 first-round choice out of Michigan could erase so much more:...

Although the Pittsburgh Steelers traded away their second-round pick Thursday night, they have the next-best thing when the second day of the NFL Draft is held Friday. The Steelers still hold the second pick of the third round, which they obtained in the Antonio Brown trade, and they also have...

In Thursday’s NFL Draft, the Steelers did what so many people hoped they would do. They traded up to draft Michigan inside linebacker Devin Bush. For Friday’s Sided.co podcast, Steelers beat writer Joe Rutter joins me to talk about how general manager Kevin Colbert made the deal with Denver, what...

In “First Call” Friday, Antonio Brown and Ryan Clark clash on Twitter again. Also, an umpire magic trick. A four-man outfield. A worry for the Pirates. And an apology for the Golden Knights. Was that a threat? Former Steelers safety Ryan Clark is in another dust up with Mr. Big...

The Pittsburgh Steelers went for broke by trading up 10 spots to draft Devin Bush, a pick that has boom-or-bust potential and one they are hoping leads them to another Lombardi Trophy. The Steelers decided that the reward outweighed the risk, as they know there’s no chance for a championship...

I love the player. I love the trade. I love the pick. In my opinion, the Steelers couldn’t have done a better job when it comes to how they executed the first round of the draft. The franchise traded up into the top 10 of the NFL Draft on Thursday...

Moving up 10 spots in the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off the first trade of the NFL Draft on Thursday and picked Michigan linebacker Devin Bush with the No. 10 overall selection. The Steelers, who held the No. 20 pick, swapped first-round slots with the Denver Broncos and...

Devin Bush • Michigan • Inside linebacker 5-foot-11, 235 pounds Where he fits: The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t trade up 10 spots to let this guy watch from the sidelines. If he’s as good as all the hype, the Steelers will plug him right into the middle of their defense. In...

12:11 a.m. Thanks for following along all evening on what was something of a historic draft for the Steelers — trading into the top 10. Joe Rutter’s story on the pick: The last time the #Steelers traded up in the first round was 2006 when they moved up from No....

Armed with the No. 20 overall pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers went into the NFL Draft on Thursday night confident they could find a player who will help them get back to the playoffs and chase a seventh Lombardi Trophy this season. Although general manager Kevin Colbert was prepared to trade...

In “First Call” Thursday, the Patrick Peterson trade rumors may kick up again. Jordan Staal comes through in the clutch for the Hurricanes. And a warning for the Pirates against the Diamondbacks. Are the Patrick Peterson rumors back? Remember this past season when rumors swirled that the Steelers may try...

It’s NFL Draft Day! DraftWire’s Luke Easterling joins us for our Thursday Sided.co podcast. He scouted the potential picks on defense Wednesday. Now he previews the offense. Easterling and I talk about when in the draft it will make sense for the Steelers to think offense. Then we kick around...

In “U mad, bro?” this week, Penguins fans are still angry at Mike Sullivan and Kris Letang. People disagree with me about the NHL playoffs and the Steelers draft. And one health organization is mad at the entire city of Pittsburgh. We start with Sheldon, who is dissatisfied with Penguins...

Last week, I wrote a column outlining how the Penguins could come back from a 3-0 hole against the Islanders in their Eastern Conference playoff series. I didn’t believe it would happen, mind you. But I wanted to lay out the best way for that miracle to occur. Well, consider...
