Pittsburgh Steelers Rookie Dumps OnlyFans Star Girlfriend Right After Making the 53-Man Roster
The Pittsburgh Steelers have finalized their 53-man roster, setting their sights on a season filled with Super Bowl aspirations. But off the field, one rookie’s personal decision has quickly become a hot topic in Pittsburgh.
For many first-year players, making the final roster represents the pinnacle of their football dreams. But with that achievement comes heightened pressure — and the challenge of balancing football commitments with the distractions that come with newfound fame.
This week, one rookie’s choice went viral. Instead of celebrating with his loved ones after securing a spot, he became the subject of conversation for ending a relationship that he felt was a distraction at such a pivotal time in his career.
That rookie is linebacker Nick Martin, the Steelers’ third-round pick, who made the decision to end his relationship with Ashley Marie, a 21-year-old OnlyFans creator known for her cosplay, bikini shoots, and lifestyle content that appeals to anime and gaming communities.
Marie, who gained recognition on TikTok before expanding to OnlyFans, has about 50,000 followers. Her content focuses on fan-friendly, lighthearted material, rather than explicit content, but her growing platform inevitably cast a spotlight on Martin.
The rookie spoke honestly about his decision: “Right now, I need to focus on building my career with the Steelers. She brought too much noise, too many eyes on me. I need peace, I need focus — if not, I’ll lose my chance and be left behind under the lights of Heinz Field.”
Reactions flooded social media. Some fans applauded Martin for making a professional decision that prioritized his football career, while others sympathized with Marie, acknowledging the personal costs that come with being in the NFL spotlight.
For Martin, the choice is a message to teammates and fans alike: his focus is squarely on football. As he embarks on his role as a backup linebacker and special-teams contributor, he’s making it clear — the
Colts Rookie Benched for Disciplinary Violation — Hasn’t Played a Single Snap After Shane Steichen’s Tough Message on Standards
The Indianapolis Colts’ seventh-round rookie wide receiver has yet to see the field this season — and head coach Shane Steichen just made it clear why.
Despite impressing during offseason workouts with his speed and versatility, the young wideout has remained on the practice squad since Week 1, with Steichen citing discipline and execution as the main reasons behind the decision.
“HE'S GOT THE TALENT, NO QUESTION. BUT IN INDIANAPOLIS, EXECUTION IS EVERYTHING. HE MISSED READS, BLEW ASSIGNMENTS, AND DIDN'T MASTER THE DETAILS. AROUND HERE, YOU DON'T EARN SNAPS WITH POTENTIAL — YOU EARN THEM BY PLAYING THE COLTS WAY.”
The rookie in question is Junior Bergen, a seventh-round pick (No. 252 overall) from Montana, who signed a four-year rookie contract shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft. Bergen flashed promise as a slot receiver and return specialist during training camp, drawing early comparisons to former Colts gadget players known for their versatility and intelligence.
However, insiders from the team’s practice sessions revealed that Bergen struggled to learn route progressions, execute assignments precisely, and adjust to the pace and complexity of Steichen’s offense — a system renowned for demanding timing, precision, and mental sharpness.
The Colts waived Bergen on August 26, 2025, only to re-sign him to the practice squad the following day — a move Steichen described as part of the development process rather than a punishment.
“He’s learning,” Steichen said. “But at this level, talent isn’t enough. You have to prove every day that you understand your job and that your teammates can trust you to execute it.”
Bergen has since worked closely with receivers coach Reggie Wayne, focusing on improving his route discipline and timing. Despite being benched from active play, team sources say the 23-year-old has shown steady progress and remains a long-term project for the Colts’ offense.
Still, Steichen’s message was unmistakable: in Indianapolis, consistency and preparation are non-negotiable. “This organization is built on accountability,” he said. “Every player here — whether it’s a Pro Bowler or a rookie — is expected to uphold that standard. Until you do, you sit.”
For Junior Bergen, the lesson is clear. The path back to the field won’t come from talent alone — it will come from mastering the details and earning the right to play the
