As the last pick of a sizable draft class, Eli Heidenreich has an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh Thinks Baker Mayfield ‘Would Fit Right In’ With Steelers
Aaron Rodgers returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 season, but he also said he plans on retiring after the year ends. That will leave the Steelers looking for a starting quarterback next offseason. Will Howard or Drew Allar could step into that role, but they’re both long shots. Former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver […]
‘Changed The Attitude Of The Team’: Mark Schlereth Shares Panthers HC’s Praise For Rico Dowdle
Running back didn’t look like one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest needs entering this offseason. Jaylen Warren acquitted himself well last year in a bigger role. However, the Steelers lost Warren’s 2025 partner when Kenneth Gainwell signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gainwell was named team MVP last year, making a lot of plays. The […]

‘Handled It Really Well’: Nick Herbig Praises Rookie OT Max Iheanachor’s NFL Transition
The leap from the college game to the NFL is difficult for most rookies, but it’s an especially difficult transition for offensive linemen. The speed of the game, the strength and athleticism of defensive linemen, and the advanced skills those players have as run defenders and pass rushers make things very difficult for young offensive […]
‘Not That Type Of Corner’: Insider Doesn’t Expect Joey Porter Jr. To Reset CB Market
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is due for a contract extension this offseason, especially after putting together a terrific third season in the Steel City. Things haven’t materialized just yet, and reports indicate Porter and the Steelers aren’t close on a deal. That raises questions about what the financial outlook is for Porter’s next […]

Beat Writer Makes 2026 Sack Prediction For T.J. Watt
Days of T.J. Watt threatening the NFL single-season sack record might be over. A mark for which he now sits in second place, surpassed by Myles Garrett’s historic 2025 season. Still, Watt can’t be counted out. Healthy and playing in a refreshed scheme could create a bounce-back season. PPG beat writer Ray Fittipaldo outlined what […]
Analysts Label The Steelers’ Two Most Important Non-QB Veterans
Last offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers swung for the fences by trading for WR DK Metcalf. He caught 59 passes for 850 yards, 14.4 yards per catch, and six touchdowns. However, that wasn’t what he or the Steelers hoped for when they traded for him. He never had fewer receiving yards in a season. Plus, he […]
‘I Will Not Be At All Surprised’: Dulac ‘Starting To Think’ Steelers Keep Four QBs
Now into the lull before training camp, things are finally quiet for the last time this offseason. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a few tough decisions to make once training camp does roll around, especially when it comes to their QBs.

Beat Writer Sees Patrick Graham Bringing Steelers’ 3-4 Defense ‘Back To Its Roots’ In One Key Way
Patrick Graham isn’t just retaining the Steelers’ 3-4 defense under Mike McCarthy, beat writer Mike DeFabo believes. With a new coordinator in charge, we might even see other aspects return that faded under Mike Tomlin.

Full terms: The #Jets and G Joe Tippmann have agreed […]
‘First Day Was Crazy’: CB Daylen Everette Talks Growth Covering DK Metcalf This Spring
It’s fair to say rookie CB Daylen Everette had a successful spring, drawing attention for his work covering DK Metcalf. The Steelers’ top receiver, Metcalf is a challenge simply due to his size and physicality. He has speed on top of that, but so does the third-round defensive back, who is no shrimp, either. With […]
Fittipaldo Believes It Will Take Time For Steelers To Establish Identity On Offense
The Steelers want to run a certain type of offense under Mike McCarthy, but it may take time before they can lean into their personality. Moving back toward more 11 personnel with three wide receivers on the field, they may not be ready to deploy that right away. While they have reliable options at the […]

Player: LS Christian Kuntz Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Christian Kuntz currently has no challengers for the starting long snapper job after the Steelers parted with veteran Cal Adomitis.

Former OL Trai Essex and QB Charlie Batch believe so, analyzing the upcoming training camp battle. Having lost Isaac Seumalo in free agency, Pittsburgh has accumulated a group of candidates, but they have no starter—yet. […]
‘It’s Mind-Blowing’: Lamar Jackson Teases ‘Explosive’ Ravens Offense Under New Coach
For the first time in his career, the Ravens are challenging Lamar Jackson with a completely new offense under new OC Declan Doyle. Hired by new HC Jesse Minter, Doyle is just months older than Jackson. But he presents new ideas for the nine-year quarterback, and thus far, he has been embracing the challenges that […]

Will Yahya Black challenge Keeanu Benton for playing time? Ever since DL coach Domata Peko raved about Yahya Black, it seems it’s fueled speculation that he could play over Keeanu Benton.
