Indianapolis Colts' rookie running back Seth McGowan was recently compared to a former 1,000-yard rusher by one of his teammates.Following Tuesday's training camp practice, Jonathan Taylor was asked about McGowen's running style. While McGowan is known for the physical presence he adds to the Colts' backfield, Taylor noted the rookie's footwork, which reminds him of current Texans back David Montgomery."Seth, everybody thinks he's just like a big powerback, but Seth has some moves," said Taylor. "If you look at his feet, he reminds me of like David Montgomery. Like at first, I know when David was in Chicago, real ballers knew like, hey, he's not just a power back. He has great feet, great vision. I'm like, Seth has great feet. So that's very -- it's going to be interesting when we're in full live and not just practice situations, like how he can put his skills on display."Montgomery has carved out a very productive career, which includes surpassing the 1,000-yard mark twice in seven NFL seasons. He's rushed for at least 700 yards every year and has hit double-digit touchdowns twice.McGowan averaged 3.22 yards after contact in college, highlighting his ability to stay on his feet, make defenders miss, and pick up extra yards. In 2025, he ranked 42nd among running backs, generating 35 missed tackles. McGowan is competing with DJ Giddens for the backup running back role. Following Tuesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan wrote that he continues to be "impressed" by what McGowan is showing.This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: Jonathan Taylor compared Colts' rookie to 1,000-yard running back

Kenley Jansen is not interested in treating the Detroit Tigers deadline as a surrender.Detroit traded Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, stripping two major arms from the rotation while remaining within reach of an American League playoff spot. Jansen acknowledged the losses, but his message to the clubhouse was blunt: stop worrying about what is gone and take responsibility for what remains.If youre going to worry about that stuff, youre going to feel miserable, Jansen said. Im not going to do that. Its unfortunate we lost two great guys. But did the lineup change? Tell me, did the lineup change? The lineup is the same. Did the bullpen change? The bullpen didnt change.At the end of the day, who plays the most? Its the lineup and the bullpen.Jansen Puts Responsibility on HimselfJansen did not attempt to push the burden onto Detroits younger pitchers or the front office.The veteran closer said the bullpens response must begin with him.With the bullpen, it starts with me, he said. I need to step up and pitch better and I will be showing that. The rest of the guys need to step up and help the team do the job. You get paid to play a game we love. We just have to go out there with a chip on our shoulder, when it comes to the bullpen, and lock it down. It starts there.That is the kind of accountability Detroit needs after a deadline that changed the clubhouse and made the postseason path more difficult.Jansen remains convinced the opportunity is still there.I will be honest, the American League is not that great. Everything is wide open. The division is wide open. And this team has it. This team has showed the last two years that it has it. And I still believe in that.Put a Chip on Your Shoulder and Go PlayJansens message was not complicated.The Tigers can spend the rest of the season thinking about Skubal and Mize, or they can use the outside doubt as fuel.To me, nothing has changed, Jansen said. Put a chip on your shoulder and go play. People are counting us out? Great. I love it. But we have to prove to ourselves what we are capable, not prove it to other people on the outside. Prove it ourselves. Im going to prove myself to be better. Im still playing the game I love and Im playing at a high level. Thats the mentality we all should have.Dont get distracted. Dont get bothered. Theres going to be some tough losses. Thats the reality of life. Weve got to suck it up, put our big boy pants on and show up to work and do the job.The Tigers entered the post-deadline stretch still close enough to the playoff race to matter. Jansen clearly does not believe the remaining players should act like the season has already been decided for them.Jansen Still Believes Detroit Can Reach OctoberJansen has not pitched in the postseason since 2022 after appearing in October for 10 consecutive seasons.He did not sign with Detroit to play out the schedule and head home at the end of September.I want to be back there, he said. I thought this team had a chance to get there and I still think that. I came here for a reason. I dont want the season to end Sept. 28. I hope we play longer than that. But we cant think about the future and we cant think about the past. Thinking about the past will make you miserable and thinking about the future you will have anxiety.Just be great today. Thats the goal.Bottom LineKenley Jansen is not pretending that losing Skubal and Mize was painless.He is refusing to let those trades become an excuse.The lineup remains intact. The bullpen remains intact. The American League race remains open. Jansen believes Detroit still has enough to make a run, but only if the players stop looking backward and begin proving it on the field.His challenge to the Tigers was simple.Put a chip on your shoulder.Show up.Do the job.

Aug. 4Encircled by the entire Eastern Washington football team, redshirt senior linebacker Myles Mayovsky stepped to the line the free-throw line, that is and lofted a basketball toward the hoop.Next to him, freshman quarterback Brady Annett waited a couple of seconds to attempt his own.As Mayovsky's shot swirled around the rim and then out, Annett's shot flew smoothly through the net to earn him the victory in a friendly but competitive game of Bump.Immediately Annett's teammates scooped him up and lifted him like a rock star, parading the quarterback above their heads for a few seconds in an auxiliary basketball court inside the EWU athletics complex in Cheney.It was an unusual sight toward the end of a preseason football practice with the regular season less than four weeks away. But given the circumstances, Eastern Washington head coach Aaron Best decided it was a worthwhile use of the team's allotted practice time on Tuesday morning."We're getting the chance to be around each other, that's the No. 1 thing," Best said. "I'd love it to be (normal), but what is normal? Right now, in Spokane and in a lot of surrounding areas, (people) are going through some very, very abnormal circumstances."Smoke forced the Eagles to practice inside entirely on Monday. By Tuesday, air quality had improved enough for the team to spend 45 of their 120 practice minutes outside.NCAA rules dictate that when the air quality index is between 150 and 199, outdoor activities should be shortened. At 200 or higher, the NCAA suggests that "serious consideration should be given to rescheduling the activity or moving it indoors.""We're in Cheney, away from those devastating fires," Best said. "I can't wrap my head and arms around it. It's all unthinkable the stuff that's going on. It's one of those 'just press pause' (moments)."Three years ago, the Gray fire burned much closer to Cheney and directly impacted many players and coaches in the Eastern Washington program, more so than the current ones affecting the Spokane area. But there are still many players and coaches at EWU who are either directly impacted or know others who are, Best said.Best said he hopes the team will be able to get a two-hour practice outside on Wednesday."We're just finding ways to get better every day," redshirt senior receiver Cole Pruett said. "Even though we want to be outside, if we're inside we'll make the best out of it and we'll go to work no matter what."For its indoor portions, Eastern spread across a handful of gyms and even a dance studio in the athletics complex. Best walked between them, blaring an air horn to signal the end of each session.Working in noncleated shoes has its limitations, but Best said it reveals a lot about a player's competitiveness. He listed a few venues stretching, academics, class attendance, weight room work and walk-throughs that are telling."Going through those mental reps, I think those are tell-tale signs," Best said. "I think those are indicators of consistency, without a doubt, of what you're going to get between the lines when they blow the whistle."The entire team also discovered more about their teammates' basketball skills. Each position group nominated one player to compete in a game of bump. The final four came down to redshirt senior receiver Wes Garrett, sophomore safety Bryce Smith, plus Mayovsky and Annett."You always want to drive competition," said redshirt sophomore Ambrose Marsh, who represented the cornerbacks. "Competition will always bring the best out of people, and as you can see it brought a ton of energy. Having energy to start practice, obviously though practice and then at the end ... it can only boost people up."

Aug. 4Editor's note: This is the seventh in a series of stories that will run each day previewing Washington State's preseason camp before it begins on Thursday. This edition covers the Cougars' running backs.PULLMAN Ever since the winter, when Washington State coach Kirby Moore helped engineer what seemed like a miracle by retaining running backs Kirby Vorhees and Leo Pulalasi, the conversation around the Cougars' running back corps has echoed something similar.Vorhees, Pulalasi and Maxwell Woods make a fearsome trio. Those three are ready to make some noise.It's an entirely valid stance, especially considering Woods' performance in the Cougars' Potato Bowl win last winter: nine carries for 117 yards, looking quick and elusive as ever. Even if Woods was the only running back to return to WSU and Vorhees and Pulalasi headed to the transfer portal, as they were both planning to, the Cougars could still feel good about their ground game. That's how primed Woods looks for a breakout year.But headed into the Cougars' fall camp slate, here's one thing to watch: Will coaches split reps equally between those three running backs, leading to the kind of three-back approach that's been teased? Or will one rise above the rest, becoming something closer to a lead back?If that's the direction things go, the honors will likely go to Vorhees, whose retention remains one of Moore's biggest wins in his six months at the program's helm. Last year in his debut season with the Cougars, he piled up 575 yards on 138 carries, an average rush of 4.2 yards, plus five touchdowns to boot. Once he took over the reins as the team's starting running back midseason, WSU's offense looked better for it. He looked like a star in the making.Think about this: Across their first three games of the season, the Cougars totaled 231 rushing yards, an average of just 58 per game. That would have ranked dead last nationally by a wide margin. By the end of the season, they ranked No. 79 in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. In large part, they can thank Vorhees' production for that.Vorhees is back, but this year, Woods looks ready for a more meaningful role. Pulalasi, ever the steady hand, is healthy again. Which creates something of an enticing dilemma for Moore, offensive coordinator Matt Miller and running backs coach Justin Green: Should they hand Vorhees the keys? If not, what's the best way to split carries between the trio?It'll be fascinating to watch that trend unfold across fall camp, especially because there may be no right answer. Each back has their strengths and weaknesses. Woods is likely the shiftiest of the bunch, lightning-quick in the open field, where he could Ray Lewis miss. Vorhees is probably the most consistent and the most well-rounded, the kind of tailback who could be entrusted with a bellcow type of role. Pulalasi seems to churn out 5 or 6 yards every time he touches the ball, which is the kind of reliability that could come in handy in the red zone, where last year's team struggled mightily. Could those tendencies affect how their reps are divvied up this fall?"Right now, we're just trying to get everyone used to the new offense, the new schemes and the footwork," Vorhees said back in April. "That's really been the big thing. But I think we're gonna be a three-headed monster."Moore's background as an offensive coordinator, using a spread rushing attack, makes this particularly interesting. Last season, the Tigers' rushing attack averaged 228 yards per game, led by Ahmad Hardy's enormous year. In fact, in two of Moore's three seasons as Missouri's offensive coordinator, he used a workhorse-style approach: Cody Schrader in 2023 and Hardy in 2025. Even in 2024, Nate Noel was on track for that kind of role until his injury prompted the Tigers to open things up to other backs.Still, since he arrived in Pullman, Moore has made one thing clear: He's keen on designing the Cougars' offense around the players on the roster, not forcing his vision onto the team. How will that manifest in WSU's running backs room? We'll begin to find out on Thursday and beyond.

Byron Young is entering his fourth NFL season with a new benchmark in mind, and it arrived in the Los Angeles Rams' locker room this offseason in the form of Myles Garrett.The Rams acquired Garrett, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and the NFL's single-season sack record holder, in an offseason trade that sent Jared Verse to the Cleveland Browns. Young, who paired with Verse to help Los Angeles reach the NFC Championship Game last season, has spent camp treating Garrett as both a locker room neighbor and a mentor while he looks to reach his goals."I need to get to All-Pro," Young said, per The Athletic's Nate Atkins. "I want to be one of those crunch-time situation guys."Someone like Myles Garrett."Young is coming off a 12-sack Pro Bowl season, part of 27.5 sacks over his first three years in the league. But he's after more than reliability now. He's picking Garrett's brain on rush plans and pass-rush concepts, asking questions about approach and mentality during meetings and walkthroughs.Garrett, who has 125.5 sacks in nine seasons, has told Young he's never had a pass-rush rep where he didn't believe he could get to the quarterback even against chips, slides and triple teams designed to stop him. Young said internalizing that mindset has been as valuable as any technical adjustment."He gets chipped and he gets the slide. He gets triple-teamed and he still has the mindset of, 'I'm going to beat that,'" Young said. "And he still beats that. He always has a plan."Head coach Sean McVay has also praised Young's versatility, noting his ability to play multiple techniques along the defensive front."He can create on his own," McVay said. "He does a great job on some of the two- and three-man games where he's a tight wrapper, looper. He's got position flex."With Garrett now drawing extra protection on the opposite edge, Young projects to see more favorable rush opportunities in 2026 the kind that could push him from a dependable Pro Bowler toward the All-Pro caliber he's chasing.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Byron Young says he wants to turn into 'someone like Myles Garrett'
