Steelers Just Added a Freak Athlete at Tight End - And Hardly Anyone Noticed

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed South Dakota tight end as an undrafted free agent, the team announced on Saturday.

JJ Galbreath

 

JJ Galbreath is a 6-foot-3 3/8, 231-pound tight end that put up fantastic athletic testing scores in the pre-draft process, with a 4.67-second 40-yard dash, a 4.20-second shuttle, 6.82-second three-cone, 38-inch vertical and 10-foot-3 broad jump for an 8.4 out of 10 Relative Athletic Score.

A three-year starter for the Coyotes, Galbreath recorded 1,355 yards on 93 catches and had 12 touchdowns over his four-year college career.

The native of Arvada, Colorado joined South Dakota in 2020, redshirted during the canceled COVID-19 season, and then began his career in 2021 as a reserve tight end. He became a starter in 2022, became and honorable mention All-Missouri Valley pick in 2023 and was a first-team All-MVFC and an All-American as a senior in 2024.

His most productive collegiate games came as a senior in the FCS playoffs in 2024, when he had six catches each, for 45 yards against UC Davis and 68 yards against Montana State.

The Steelers have added a number of players from the MVFC in recent years. They drafted quarterback Chris Oladokun (2022) and guard Mason McCormick (2024) from South Dakota State, and had North Dakota State tight end Noah Gindorff (2023), outside linebacker Derrek Tuszka (2021) and guard Joe Haeg (2021) on their team.

The Steelers will add Galbreath to a relatively thin spot on their roster. Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward are set to return at tight end from 2024, with Donald Parham the lone addition so far, replacing MyCole Pruitt.

The Steelers have now signed a total of seven undrafted free agents following the close of the 2025 NFL Draft on Sunday: Galbreath, Memphis wide receiver Roc Taylor, Minnesota-Duluth guard Aiden Williams, Indiana wide receiver Ke’Shawn Williams, Iowa safety Sebastian Castro, Pitt kicker Ben Sauls and South Alabama fullback/tight end DJ Thomas-Jones.

Panthers Cheerleader Sues a Panthers Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A beautiful, talented cheerleader from the Carolina Panthers is "furious" and dragging a team player to court for "unacceptable" actions! Grace Kramer – the TopCats icon – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the story behind it is making NFL fans "boil with rage"! Could this be the "scandal of the century" for the Panthers? Read now for the "steamy" details! Grace Kramer, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Carolina Panthers in the NFL, is a prominent member of the TopCats group. She is a former student at Clemson University, where she participated in the Rally Cats cheer squad. Before that, Grace was a dancer for the NBA and holds a consulting degree from Wake Forest University (WFU). Grace is active on social media, often sharing about games, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Panthers. As part of the 25-member TopCats team, Grace engages in fan interactions, community events, and performances at Panthers games. She has an Instagram account (@grace_kramer37) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@gracekramer_) where she shares videos about game days. Before joining the Panthers, she worked at Darden (related to the restaurant or service industry), proving her versatility and hard work. But the "nightmare" began when Grace got "entangled" with a Panthers player! That's Jake Harlan, a backup offensive tackle who rarely plays for the Panthers – a guy who's practically "unknown" to fans, only appearing sporadically on special teams and never a star. Harlan, 28 years old, has been married since 2022 to his wife, an elementary school teacher, and they have a 2-year-old son. Yet, according to Grace's lawsuit, Harlan has been "flirting" with her blatantly, despite his marital status! The "explosion" happened when Harlan started sending "sweet" messages to Grace via Instagram, complimenting her beauty and talent after performances. At first, Grace thought it was just casual praise from a teammate, but things quickly "escalated" into harassment! Harlan called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 2-3 a.m. – to "confide" about his personal life, invite her for private coffee dates, and even send "suggestive" photos of himself! Grace stated in the lawsuit: "He knows full well I just want to focus on my work and career, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls scare me and cause insomnia, seriously affecting my mental health!" According to insider sources, Harlan has been "stalking" Grace since the start of the season, frequently showing up at community events she attends, and deliberately "creating opportunities" to approach her. Harlan's wife, upon discovering, was "furious" and even threatened divorce, but the guy still "didn't wake up"! The Panthers are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily suspended Harlan for investigation, while fans are divided – one side supports Grace's "strong condemnation," the other suspects it's a "PR stunt." The NFL league is also monitoring closely, which could lead to heavy fines or a playing ban! Grace, with her "goddess" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a hot-button issue in the sports world! How will the court handle Harlan? And will the Panthers "clean house" to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
