TOP PLAYERS

RJ YOUNG’S TAKE

The Pittsburgh Maulers return their defensive coordinator, Jarren Horton, who will work for his father Ray Horton. While the Maulers were not great offensively and could never settle on a quarterback, Jarren’s defense was outstanding at times and could’ve been cited as one of the best units in the league.

While the Maulers need to figure out who their starting quarterback is, Mauler fans should find it reassuring that wide receivers Walker and Gaithers are returning. Both ranked among the top 20 in the league in receiving yards on a team that was, to put it kindly, run-oriented under former head coach Kirby Wilson.

Look for them to find out what they’re made of when they play the Michigan Panthers, a team they will have to beat if they hope to compete for the North Division crown this season.
