Watch: Germie Bernard Scores First NFL Touchdown
When the Pittsburgh Steelers moved up in the second round to draft Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard at No. 47 overall, the expectation was they were getting a receiver who could create after the catch, which is huge in first-year head coach Mike McCarthy’s West Coast-style offense. So far, that’s what Bernard has shown in […]

Last week’s 17-0 shutout at the hands of the New York Jets was a letdown after the excitement of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener a couple weeks ago, but young QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar should have plenty of chances to end on a high note today against the Buffalo Bills.

With only 69 yards as a rookie, Kaleb Johnson has been disappointing since the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the third round last year.

Spending ‘About A Month’ With Herbig And Watt In Wisconsin, Steelers’ Sawyer Ready For ‘Big’ Year Two Jump
