I’m writing this as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns battle it out in the 4th quarter, and now that Week 4 has officially begun, I believe players are getting into football shape. What does that mean? Nobody knows, but it’s provocative and gets the people going. In all seriousness, now that almost a month of games have been played, could guys like Drake Maye, Justin Herbert, Kyle Pitts, and Alvin Kamara start producing? Time will tell, and these aren’t the only guys we thought/want would have better starts to the season. We still have plenty of football left, but something’s gotta give.
