"Moving around, running around, I've been feeling really, really good, honestly," Butt told DenverBroncos.com Aug. 15. "The main thing I'm excited about is I feel healthy, and I feel like I can go out there and be my‑ self." Devin Bush Jr. • NFL Bush was thrown into the fire last year as a rookie, playing 82 per‑ cent of the Steelers' defensive snaps and leading the team with 109 tackles, the first‑ever Pittsburgh rookie to reach triple digits. Now, more is expected in year two, including as a defensive play caller and communicator. "We were thoughtful about the things that we asked him to do in that regard a year ago," head coach Mike Tomlin said recently. "He was challenged enough just to play and be as productive a member of the unit as he was for us. It's reasonable to expect him to take a significant step in those unofficial endeavors that kind of encompass his position." Duncan Robinson • NBA The Miami Heat forward racked up 25 points in a 119‑112 loss to Phoenix Aug. 8, marking his fourth‑highest point total of the year. Robinson is just the second player in NBA history to shoot at least 44 percent from three‑point range in a season while attempting eight or more triples per game, with Stephen Curry also accomplishing the feat in both 2015 and 2016, the two years he was named the league's MVP.
