The Position Group Under The Most Pressure In Steelers’ Preseason Finale
The Pittsburgh Steelers play their third and final preseason game on Thursday night. It’s hard to believe, but meaningful games just around the corner. Through training camp and their first preseason two games, the Steelers have learned a lot about themselves. Position and roster battles have started to sort themselves out, and the picture is […]
‘May Have Hit A Home Run’: Former NFL Scout Believes Steelers Fans Should Be ‘Very Excited’ About Drew Allar
Opinions were mixed when the Pittsburgh Steelers spent a third-round pick on Drew Allar earlier this year. While Allar has a lot of nice physical tools, he had a lot of issues in college, including inaccuracy, bad-decision making, and poor mechanics. However, there was a lot of positive buzz about Allar after the Steelers’ first […]
‘Let It Rip:’ Willie Colon’s Advice To Fringe-Roster Players Should Resonate Beyond Pittsburgh
The air is a little crisper here in Western Pennsylvania. Light is leaking out of the sky a little sooner. School parking lots that had been empty for a couple of months are now filled with cars. All are signs that summer is slowly, but inexorably, giving way to fall. And that real football is […]
‘Stupid Procedure’: Mike Florio Criticizes Steelers For Not Negotiating Contracts During Season
Week 1 is almost here, but the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t ready for the regular season yet. They still have a few things they need to get done, mainly figuring out the Joey Porter Jr. situation. Porter is on the PUP list with a back injury, but that’s likely a cover for a hold in as […]
Pair Of Steelers Defenders Named To All-Breakout Team
The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the cusp of a youth movement as core players age out, particularly on defense. They’ve invested heavily in the defensive side of the football in recent years, too, guarding against that potential fall-off. That has the franchise with some key building blocks defensively to work with. A pair of those […]
Steelers View Kaden Wetjen ‘As A Potential Long-Term Wide Receiver Option’, Says Beat Writer
The Pittsburgh Steelers turned a lot of heads when they drafted WR/KR/PR Kaden Wetjen in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. It’s not that Wetjen isn’t talented. He won the Jet Award for being the best returner in college football two years in a row, the first time that’s ever happened. He led […]

Passing On Quarterback, Steelers Address Secondary In 2027 Mock Draft
For Mike McCarthy’s second Pittsburgh Steelers draft, he’s addressing defense at the top of it. That’s what ESPN’s Jordan Reid has the Steelers doing in the first round of a too-early 2027 mock draft, giving the team Notre Dame S Brauntae Johnson with the 14th overall selection. “Johnson is my highest-ranked safety entering the season […]

‘Put Themselves In This Position’: Former GM Criticizes Steelers For Not Prioritizing Joey Porter Jr.
It’s been a busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one in which they hired a new head coach for the first time in 20 years and brought in more than 30 new players.

‘Best Player In Camp’: Merril Hoge Offers Rare Praise For ‘Eraser’ Max Iheanachor
The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested more than anybody in their offensive line with high hopes of the unit finally turning the corner to become a dominant force. Through two preseason games, the offensive line has largely underwhelmed relative to expectations. According to one former Steeler, we may have a different opinion once first-round rookie OT […]
Is Drew Allar Or Will Howard Better Under Pressure?
Recently I took a closer look at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line. It showed that Pittsburgh’s unit has had some of the worst statistical results through two preseason games, largely because of the backup linemen. This got me curious to look at and provide a statistical view of how the younger quarterbacks have fared from […]
Elandon Roberts Pushing To Play In Preseason Finale: ‘Need To Get Some Things Ironed Out’
A 10-year NFL veteran, Elandon Roberts might not need preseason reps, but don’t tell the Steelers thumper that. Having just recently signed with the team for a second stint, he made a strong impression last week. Before the regular season begins, however, he wants more reps—and not just to secure a place on the team. […]
McCorkle: If Joey Porter Jr. Wants To Reset The Cornerback Market, Trade Him
Nobody wants to trade a 26-year-old starting cornerback. Especially not one the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted themselves and who has established himself as one of the team’s most important young defensive players. The whole point of drafting and developing players like Joey Porter Jr. is to keep them around for their prime years. Unless, of course, […]

The New York Jets are in need of a complete culture change, and they haven’t been able to find it despite trying with five different head coaches since 2018.

Broderick Jones Doesn’t Know Steelers’ Plan For Him But ‘Prepared To Play Both Sides’
While Broderick Jones doesn’t look ready to start, he is preparing himself for any eventuality with the Steelers this offseason. Having recovered from a severe neck injury, he is still working his way back, to some extent. Even on Tuesday, he admitted that he is still trying to increase his playing weight and strength. In […]
Cam Heyward Still Wants To Find The End Zone
In 2023, Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cam Heyward joked about catching a touchdown pass from his brother, Connor, on an episode of his Not Just Football podcast. While Connor, now with the Raiders, did attempt a pass that season, it was intended for TE Darnell Washington in a 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots in […]
Ben Roethlisberger Wants Drew Allar To Start Steelers’ Final Preseason Game
While the Steelers haven’t publicly formalized their QB plan for the final preseason game, Drew Allar and Will Howard will be the focus. But after starting Howard last week and tasking Allar with cleaning up, should they flip the script this time? That’s what former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger wants to see the team do […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – RB Kaleb Johnson
Player: RB Kaleb Johnson Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Despite playing more in the Steelers’ second preseason game, Kaleb Johnson did not separate himself from the pack. In fact, he did not distinguish himself at all—and was a non-presence on special teams. At the moment, it may be more likely the team carries just two running backs […]
Steelers Beat Writers Name Their ‘Ultimate’ Roster Bubble Players Entering Last Preseason Game
If it feels like there are more players on the Steelers’ roster bubble this year, that may just be because there are. This team feels reasonably deep, with some roster decisions that are harder than normal. The quarterback room, in particular, could complicate things if the Steelers choose to carry four. So who are the […]
Ravens Acknowledge Nnamdi Madubuike May Not Be Ready For Week 1
While Nnamdi Madubuike is still making progress, it’s not at all clear he will be ready for the start of the Ravens’ season. Without ruling it out, HC Jesse Minter’s recent comments made that clear. Only just this week, he has begun doing more light, individual work. With the start of the regular season fast […]
Is Starting Week 1 On The Table For Max Iheanachor?
Is starting Week 1 on the table for Max Iheanachor? With rookie right tackle Max Iheanachor back practicing and evidently on track to play in the Steelers’ final preseason game, will he enter the starting lineup? Thus far, the first-round pick’s reputation rests primarily on a few nice days of padded practices. Due to injury, […]
