Cowboys Risk With George Pickens, Will Browns CUT Shedeur Sanders, Steelers Rebuild
On the episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT explains why the Dallas Cowboys’ are taking a gamble on unpredictable receiver George Pickens and breakdowns how he'll impact the Cowboys offense and if they can keep him from crashing out. He dissects why San Francisco feels trapped into overpaying Brock Purdy despite his four playoff wins that outpace peers like Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert yet may not secure long-term stability. JT breaks down Tom Brady’s early influence on the Raiders, from hiring GM John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll to Geno Smith’s steadier leadership and rookie Ashton Jeanty’s promise to overhaul a rushing attack that ranked last in yards per game. He also highlights why the Panthers are no longer easy opponents, crediting Bryce Young’s fortified supporting cast and a defense strengthened by edge rushers Nic Scourtin and Princely Umanmielen. Finally, JT evaluates the Browns’ odds of cutting Shedeur Sanders—juxtaposing his potential behind Kenny Pickett with the franchise’s incentive to retain a high-profile talent—before affirming that the Steelers’ core remains intact and a full rebuild isn’t necessary.

Michigan's Self-Imposed Punishment, Alabama QB Concerns, South Carolina Is Overlooked
JT breaks down Michigan’s decision to give head coach Sherrone Moore a two-game suspension in what feels more like a PR move than real punishment, especially considering the soft matchups in Weeks 3 and 4. He also examines why Ty Simpson, while not flashy, is the steady hand Alabama needs in 2025 and why Kalen DeBoer is making the right decision rolling with him as the Crimson Tide QB. JT makes the case that South Carolina is being slept on despite finishing 2024 as one of the hottest teams in college football, and he warns fans not to overlook Matt Rhule's Nebraska squad, which may be primed for a breakout behind Dylan Raiola. Plus, he reacts to Gavin Sawchuck’s transfer to Florida State and ranks every starting QB from the Nick Saban era at Alabama—from John Parker Wilson to Bryce Young—ranking them based on performance, legacy, and big-game impact.

They also debate what Aaron Rodgers could look like in black and gold, the potential of the Pickens–Metcalf duo, and whether Pittsburgh’s 2025 draft class brings them any closer to serious contention.

Passing On Shedeur Sanders Will CURSE The Steelers
JT goes off on the Pittsburgh Steelers' decision to pass on quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft, drawing parallels to their 2018 choice to overlook Lamar Jackson in favor of safety Terrell Edmunds. Despite Shedeur Sanders' impressive college career at Colorado, where he earned accolades such as the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, he fell to the fifth round, ultimately being selected by the Cleveland Browns. JT argues that the Steelers' repeated hesitation to invest in dynamic quarterback talent could have long-term repercussions, especially as Shedeur Sanders joins the Cleveland Browns.
