Steelers | Jameis Winston a fit in Pittsburgh
Free agent QB Jameis Winston is a backup fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks.
Footballguys View: Winston would be a great fit and could be groomed to take over when Ben Roethlisberger is done playing. He may not want to be a backup now, but Winston is running out of options. Perhaps a coach like Mike Tomlin could convince him to come on board as a valuable reserve and future starting quarterback.
Cowboys | Dallas could use Henry Ruggs
Alabama WR and 2020 NFL Draft prospect Henry Ruggs III is a viable candidate for the Dallas Cowboys with the 17th-overall pick and would make an immediate impact with his speed and versatility, according to team analysts.
Footballguys View: The Cowboys could use Ruggs, but he’s likely to go off the board well before their No.17 pick. Ruggs has a ton of speed and can make defenders look like they’re standing still. He might go in the top-12 of the 2020 NFL draft.
