The Pittsburgh Steelers were actively pursuing a trade for wide receiver Christian Kirk of the Jacksonville Jaguars until an injury sidelined him in Week 8. Despite this setback, the Steelers continued to look for wideouts as the trade deadline approached, with players like Mike Williams of the New York Jets and Adam Thielen of the Carolina Panthers emerging as potential targets. Quarterbacks Coach Tom Arth remains optimistic about the team’s ability to generate big plays in the second half of the season, stating, “I think ‘Russ’ has played very well,” and highlighting Wilson’s knack for pushing the ball downfield.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are grappling with a disappointing 2-7 record following a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, however, has refused to give up on the team’s playoff hopes. He believes there is still time to turn their season around, asserting, “Eight games left, we can turn it around and aim for a 10-7 finish.” Garrett feels a responsibility to lead by example, preferring to show his teammates the way to success rather than just instructing them. Despite his three sacks in the last game, he expressed frustration over the losses, emphasizing, “I’d rather have no sacks every game than continue losing the way we are.”

Peyton Manning Reveals 1 WR He Wishes He Played With

Peyton Manning is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history. If it weren’t for the remarkable careers of Tom Brady and Joe Montana, Manning, who starred for the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, would likely be considered the greatest ever to play the position. Although Manning doesn’t surpass Brady and Montana in terms of Super Bowl victories, he still boasts two titles with two different franchises. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the Colts had written him off, leading to his late-career resurgence with the Broncos, further cementing his Hall of Fame legacy.

Throughout his career, Manning had the privilege of playing alongside some exceptional talents, especially at the wide receiver position. He threw passes to legendary players such as Marvin Harrison, Demaryius Thomas, and Reggie Wayne, among others. Despite his experience with numerous elite receivers, Manning revealed a surprising choice when asked which player he wished he had the chance to throw to, just ahead of the Netflix premiere of “Receiver,” produced by Omaha Productions.

“One, Raymond Berry,” Manning stated. “Old Baltimore Colt. Going with Raymond Berry. Got to spend some time with him. He was a true master of his craft.” Instead of opting for more contemporary stars like Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, or current sensation Justin Jefferson, Manning chose Berry, a name that might not come to mind for many fans today.
