Fittipaldo Breaks Down Expected Snap Share For Steelers’ Top Tight Ends
Last season, TE Darnell Washington led the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end room in snaps. With Jonnu Smith gone and Washington and Pat Freiermuth leading the room, it would be reasonable to expect that Washington sees the higher share of snaps again. But Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn’t think that will be the case. […]
Beat Writer Offers Answers To Key Steelers Offensive Line Questions
The Pittsburgh Steelers have arguably their most talented offensive line in years. Even so, the group enters training camp with plenty to sort out. Will first-round pick Max Iheanachor start?

‘People Did Not Realize What A Good Season He Had’: Analyst Shares Impressive Jamel Dean Stat
Finding a consistent starting cornerback opposite Joey Porter Jr. has been tough for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

DK Metcalf Has A New Nickname For Steelers Rookie Eli Heidenreich
He’s been a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers for just a few months, but rookie seventh-round draft pick Eli Heidenreich is already drawing plenty of attention and immersing himself in the locker room.

Former NFL Coach Tells Revealing Story Of What He Learned Preparing For Mike McCarthy: ‘This Is Insane’
Earlier today, we wrote about Charlie Batch’s comments about the Pittsburgh Steelers becoming a pass-first team under Mike McCarthy. Even with a soon-to-be 43-year-old Aaron Rodgers and two talented backs in Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle, the Steelers are expected to lean on its passing game. Former NFL coach Tim Lester can attest to that. […]
Former Browns All-Pro Returner Josh Cribbs Explains Why He Would Have ‘Never’ Joined Steelers
The AFC North is usually one of the NFL’s best divisions. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals have all gone to the Super Bowl over the last two decades. However, the Cleveland Browns have been the division’s weakest link. They’ve spent most of the last two-and-a-half years as one of the worst teams […]

Former Steelers QB Landry Jones Confident Mike Tomlin ‘Gonna Be A Hall Of Fame Coach’ One Day
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most accomplished franchises in NFL history, and a big reason why is their stability at head coach. Before this offseason, they only had three people hold that title since 1969. Two of them, Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, are already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The […]
‘Father Time Has Caught Up:’ PFF Gives Aaron Rodgers Lowly Ranking
The Pittsburgh Steelers bringing back Aaron Rodgers for a second season is a move that many pundits are questioning. After all, Rodgers struggled last season under pressure, got rid of the ball in the fastest time of his career, and generally didn’t push the ball down the field. In the Steelers’ AFC Wild Card blowout […]

‘Do Some More Creative Things’: Eli Heidenreich Believes Versatile Role At Navy Prepared Him For Pittsburgh
It’s rare to find a seventh-round pick more interesting than Eli Heidenreich. The last of a 10-pick class, Heidenreich walked the draft stage at the end of Day 3 as a Pittsburgh native out of Navy, already giving him more of a story to tell than most players picked in the final round. But if […]

Eli Heidenreich Reveals Team He Had UDFA Agreement With Before Steelers Drafted Him
The moment and the scene on the North Shore at the end of the 2026 NFL Draft with Navy star Eli Heidenreich hearing his name called by his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers was very special.

Kevin Colbert Has A Different Take On ‘Finding’ Late-Round Gems
As the old football adage goes, Day Three is where scouts and general managers make their money. They must sift through hundreds of late-round possibilities to unearth gems who fit the system and scheme and are more talented than their projection. The Pittsburgh Steelers are rife with examples, both past and present. Still, former GM […]
Steelers’ 3rd WR Could Have Smaller Role In Steelers’ Offense Than You’d Think, Kaboly Says
Arthur Smith may be gone, but how important will the third wide receiver be in Mike McCarthy’s Steelers offense?

With DK Metcalf returning and Michael Pittman Jr. added this offseason, those are your producers, […]
‘You Kind Of Need Him’: Insider Highlights One Name ‘Lost In The Shuffle’ In Steelers’ Secondary
The Steelers’ secondary has drawn major attention this offseason, for understandable reasons, but one DB is getting overlooked.

Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – QB Drew Allar
Player: QB Drew Allar Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Despite the fixation on how the Steelers are breaking down Drew Allar’s mechanics, there’s no reason to believe he isn’t on track. Pittsburgh clearly drafted him this year with an eye toward developing him, which means it’s a process. And that process isn’t going to be linear and […]
‘Gonna Be A Pass-First Football Team’: Charlie Batch Expecting ‘Philosophy’ Change Under Mike McCarthy
After having Arthur Smith call plays last year, many will look at Mike McCarthy as an upgrade in 2026. Working with a quarterback with whom he has plenty of experience, Aaron Rodgers, there are a lot of reasons for optimism, and potentially some big changes on the way. Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch figures one […]
Steelers ‘Did Themselves No Favors’ In Joey Porter Jr. Extension Talks With Nick Herbig’s Big Contract, Whaley Argues
Did the Steelers create a problem for themselves and Joey Porter Jr. with the extension they handed to Nick Herbig? Former NFL GM Doug Whaley believes so, and he’s not the first person to express that belief. Members of the Steelers’ 2023 draft class, they both merited new deals. But while Porter still waits for […]
