Steelers | Anthony McFarland signs rookie contract

Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-round draft choice RB Anthony McFarland signed a four-year contract with the Steelers Tuesday, July 21. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: McFarland’s game is all about speed. He’s a big play just waiting to happen and will work as a change-of-pace back behind James Conner this year. McFarland’s dynasty value is greater than he re-draft value at this point.

Ravens | Devin Duvernay signs contract

Baltimore Ravens third-round draft choice WR Devin Duvernay signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Wednesday, July 22. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Duvernay can flat out fly. In addition to getting by defense in a hurry, Duvernay does a good job of tracking passes over his shoulder. Duvernay has toughness to his game and can toy with defenders after the catch. We’ll see where the rookie can fit in behind Marquise Brown in the Ravens pecking order at the wide receiver position.

Dolphins | Xavien Howard making some progress

Miami Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (knee) has been able to run at full speed but has not participated in any defensive back drills at this point.

Footballguys View: Howard is a fine corner when healthy and with no preseason games and a limited training camp we’ll have to wait and see how he looks when Week 1 rolls around. The Dolphins hope that Howard will be ready for the start of the regular season.
