MORGANTOWN — West Virginia football went this year’s NFL Draft without a player from the 2025 team selected by a team in the league.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t know if quarterback Aaron Rodgers will return for his 22nd season in 2026. If the 42-year-old decides to play, the four-time MVP will lead a team filled with fresh faces on offense. Pittsburgh used seven of its 10 picks in the NFL draft on that side of the ball, starting with offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round and ending it with Navy wide receiver/running back (and Pittsburgh native) Eli Heidenreich in the seventh. “That’s how the draft sorted itself out,” general manager Omar Khan said. “We trusted ...
