‘Confidence’: Germie Bernard Discusses Rookie Season Mindset

The pressure and demands that come with playing in the NFL can be overwhelming for some rookies, but Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard seems ready to rise to the occasion. “It was just all about confidence for me,” Bernard said in an interview with Johnathan Hankins on his Bigtime Talks podcast. “It’s just knowing that […]

The Player Who Could Define Pittsburgh’s Offense In 2026

The trade acquisition of Michael Pittman Jr. grabbed all the headlines at the start of free agency, but it was another offensive addition who could end up making the biggest impact. RB Rico Dowdle has a chance to define the Pittsburgh Steelers offense in 2026. Dowdle runs with the same undrafted chip on his shoulder […]

Think The Steelers Aren’t All In? Here’s Proof

Pittsburgh sports fans are unfortunately used to the Pirates baseball franchise and its penny-pinching ways. For years, fans have been begging Bob Nutting to open his wallet, but for the last decade, the Pirates have ranked at the bottom of the league in payroll while star players like Gerrit Cole, Tyler Glasnow, Josh Bell and […]

Steelers Rookie Germie Bernard Reveals Meaning Behind No. 17 Jersey

Germie Bernard’s first NFL jersey number comes with a fitting connection. The Steelers rookie chose No. 17 in honor of his favorite receiver, Davante Adams. As fate would have it, Adams also happens to be one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets — and teammates — of all time. “I ain’t gonna lie, they had some […]

Study: Concerning Data About Pittsburgh’s Pass Defense

While researching the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, I came across a troubling stat that has haunted the defense during the past two seasons: completions allowed. To illustrate this, here is a visual of the Steelers’ all-time defensive history in completion rates allowed, along with pass attempts faced for context. Thanks to Stathead’s data, we see […]

CBS Sports Gives Steelers’ Top Offensive Trio Brutal Ranking

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense was hard to watch at times last season, but a CBS Sports panel sees it getting even worse. Ranking the NFL’s top offensive triplets — a list that was dominated for years by Pittsburgh’s Killer B’s — the Steelers’ trio of Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf came in at […]

Steve Smith Sees A Lot Of Green Bay In Steelers’ Wide Receiver Room

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a major need at the wide receiver position going into this offseason. Obviously, WR DK Metcalf is the top guy. However, three of the Steelers’ top five wide receivers in terms of targets from 2025 are gone. General manager Omar Khan and his staff had their work cut out for them. […]

Would Max Iheanachor Failing To Start Constitute A Failed Rookie Season?

Would Max Iheanachor failing to start constitute a failed rookie season? The Steelers view Max Iheanachor as a long-term starter for them, but how soon does he need to begin his long-term venture? Many question his NFL readiness due to this lack of long-term playing background. At the college level, however, he has a more […]

McCorkle: The Best (And Worst) Scenarios For Every Steelers Rookie

NFL teams don’t have the luxury of waiting three years for first-round picks to develop anymore. Whether it’s fair or not, rookies are expected to contribute almost immediately, especially on teams expecting to win now like the Steelers. Predicting the outcome of rookie seasons can be tough. Just look at my guesses last May. Let’s […]

Flashback: The Day Pittsburgh Drafted Casey Hampton

Continuing our brief offseason flashback series of some of the Pittsburgh Steelers most notable draft picks of the century. In 2001, the team made the rare move  of trading down in the first round, slipping three spots from No. 16 to No. 19 in a deal with the New York Jets. A well-calculated move that […]

Beat Writer Explains Why Joey Porter Jr. Has ‘Good Leverage’ Over Steelers

As training camp approaches, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers remains the status of cornerback Joey Porter Jr.’s contract negotiations. Heading into the final year of his rookie deal, Porter is looking to take advantage of the exploding cornerback market while the Steelers look to lock him up before the cost rises […]

Will Omar Khan And The Steelers’ Draft Pick Streak Stay Alive?

Since Omar Khan became the Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager in May 2022, no draft pick has been outright cut during final cutdowns. From 2023-2025, all 21 selections have either made the initial 53-man roster or landed on an injured list, like QB Will Howard, beginning his rookie year on injured reserve. This year could challenge […]

Kozora: Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 53-Man Roster Prediction (Pre-Training Camp)

My latest Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 53-man roster prediction. This is my updated version after conducting one shortly after the NFL Draft. The roster has undergone plenty of tweaks and changes since then. Camp and the preseason will offer plenty of information that will begin to solidify this prediction. Injuries will have an impact, too. For […]

The Alarming Trend Hurting The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense

Third-and-long is a defense’s best friend. Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers frequently and frustratingly struggled in those situations, offensive conversion rates were low. It remains the aim for any defense: let the pass rush pin their ears back and make the offense one-dimensional with a limited menu of concepts to call. Pittsburgh’s defense didn’t make […]
