Ice storm alert: Destructive totals threaten Georgia


A massive winter storm stretching from New York to Houston is currently delivering destructive ice totals to metro Atlanta and Northeast Georgia. FOX 5 Storm Team meteorologists report verified freezing rain in Carrollton and Griffin, with significant ice accumulation threatening to bring down pine trees and cause widespread power outages. While a temporary switch to rain is possible this afternoon, temperatures are expected to plunge into the teens and low 20s tonight, leading to a hazardous refreeze that will keep roads impassable through Monday morning.

Steelers select Georgia CB Dalyen Everette in third round of 2026 NFL Draft

Steelers select Georgia CB Dalyen Everette in third round of 2026 NFL Draft


The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Georgia cornerback Daylen Everette with the 85th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It is their second pick in the third round, using their first (No. 76 overall) on Penn State quarterback Drew Allar.

Everette is one of the fastest players in the draft, running a 4.38 40 at the NFL Combine. Additionally, he had a RAS (Real Athletic Score) of 9.89/10. He had five interceptions in his career with the Bulldogs.

The Steelers’ cornerback room is now as deep as any in the NFL. Along with Joey Porter Jr, Pittsburgh re-signed Asante Samuel Jr and signed Jamel Dean in free agency. They also have Brandin Echols, who was productive in 2025. Everette now joins that group with the hopes of him becoming a solid contributor, but without the pressure of needing to get a big snap count right away.
