BETTIS HONORED BY COTTON BOWL<\/p>\n
Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was honored by The Cotton Bowl Classic as a member of its 2025 Hall of Fame Class, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced<\/a> in a post congratulating Bettis.<\/p>\n Bettis ran 20 times for 75 yards with two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown in the 1993 Cotton Bowl, a 28-3 win for Bettis\u2019 Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the Texas A&M Aggies. He then went on to have a Hall of Fame career with the Los Angeles Rams and the Steelers, and is regarded as one of the best running backs in Steelers and NFL history.<\/p>\n Bettis was one of eight inductees, with other notable ones including<\/a> current Houston Texans head coach and former Alabama LB DeMeco Ryans, former Auburn RB Bo Jackson and former Duke head coach David Cutcliffe.<\/p>\n MORGAN MOSES RECOVERING FROM SURGERY<\/p>\n The New England Patriots signed former New York Jets OT Morgan Moses this offseason, and Moses, who played through a knee injury suffered in Week 3 last year, hasn\u2019t yet participated in full-team drills during practice. That\u2019s because he\u2019s recovering from offseason knee surgery, ESPN\u2019s Mike Reiss reported<\/a>. Moses said he\u2019s \u201cjust pacing things out,\u201d and there was no timetable given for his potential return.<\/p>\n Moses\u2019 status is worth monitoring with the Steelers set to play the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro in Week 3. Moses is expected to start at right tackle with rookie first-round pick Will Campbell manning left tackle, but if Moses is out, the Patriots may need to turn to 2024 third-round pick Caedan Wallace.<\/p>\n HARMON NAMED IMPACT ADDITION<\/p>\n Pro Football Focus\u2019 Dalton Wasserman recently put together a list of one impact offseason addition for each team based on PFF metrics, and the Steelers\u2019 selection of Oregon DL Derrick Harmon in the first round was named their most impact addition. PFF pointed to Harmon\u2019s 55 total pressures at Oregon in 2024 and his 86.3 pass rush grade.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Steelers led the NFL in team pass-rush grade last season and have a great chance of retaining that crown after selecting Oregon\u2019s Derrick Harmon in the first round of the draft. Harmon led all FBS interior defenders with 55 pressures last season while placing third amongst that same group with an 86.3 pass rush grade.\u201d<\/p>\n If Harmon can pressure the quarterback in the NFL the way he did in college, the Steelers should get back to being a team that continually get after the quarterback and strengthens their defense.<\/p>\n
