Ask Alex: Steelers Mailbag
Welcome back to your Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. This is our last mailbag until training camp begins. Because I’ll be travelling to practice, we likely won’t have any mailbags until camp is over. Or, they may fall on off days if […]
A ‘Full-Time Nickel’ Role For Jalen Ramsey Could ‘Make A Lot Of Sense’, Analyst Says
Positional versatility is a theme across the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster. It certainly holds true in their secondary. Jalen Ramsey proved his worth in that regard last year, starting the season as a cornerback and later moving primarily to safety. New defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has a couple of chess pieces as his disposal, Ramsey the […]
‘Speak It Into Existence’: Bucs Rookie LB Wants Aaron Rodgers To Sign Ball Not If But ‘When’ He Picks Him Off
Aaron Rodgers has stated that this will be his final NFL season. He’s already worthy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he’s looking to make one more run at a Super Bowl. However, his status as a legend has also put a target on his back. Defenders will be looking to spoil Rodgers’ […]
Kenny Pickett Named Better First Rounder Than Najee Harris In New Rankings
Throughout modern history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they’ve focused on one thing when it comes to roster building: draft, develop and retain. In the salary cap era, the Steelers have done a great job of that, particularly under former GM Kevin Colbert. While current GM Omar Khan has had some good draft classes as a […]
Beat Writer Predicts Joey Porter Jr.’s Contract Extension ‘Will Be Done Before’ Steelers Break Camp
It’s been a long, busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But there are still a couple of hurdles to clear, off the field, before the offseason can be deemed a success. And after Nick Herbig’s deal, Joey Porter Jr.’s contract extension is easily the most important on that list. It would behoove the Steelers to […]
Beat Writer Is Latest To Project RB Kaleb Johnson Off Steelers’ Roster
ESPN’s Brooke Pryor revealed her pre-training camp roster prediction Thursday and left off a notable member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 draft class. Her projection excluded RB Kaleb Johnson. Instead, she has veteran Travis Homer grabbing the third running back spot behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. Pryor’s projection came with no specific analysis for […]
‘Depth Is A Concern’: Insider Names Position Steelers Could Scour Waiver Wire For
Omar Khan and the Pittsburgh Steelers front office spent the offseason building depth across nearly every position on the roster, insulating themselves from the kind of injury that can derail a season. One notable exception could force Pittsburgh to look outside the organization if disaster strikes. “Safety depth is a concern,” The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo […]
Paglia: Preseason 2027 NFL Draft Top 10 CB Rankings
We’re nearing the end of our summer scouting series, where we’ve laid the groundwork for the much-anticipated 2027 NFL Draft. As this series has shown, the buzz around this class is well-deserved. After breaking down the second level of the defense with last week’s linebacker preview, we turn our attention to the coverage specialists on […]
‘Good Nervous:’ Steelers Long Snapper Shares ‘Anxious’ Feelings Before Camp
Five days from now, the Pittsburgh Steelers will descend on Saint Vincent College in the rolling hills of Latrobe for another edition of training camp on the hallowed grounds. This time though, it will be all new for many of the familiar faces on the roster. For the first time in 20 years, the Steelers […]
Steelers Stats Over/Under: Aaron Rodgers 3,600 Passing Yards
While the Steelers won’t win games by recording stats, big plays have a way of helping the cause. That tends to be especially important for star players, on whose production teams must count. Following a year of great change, we should see the names of some playmakers shift. New faces are here, while old faces […]
Final Steelers 2026 Offseason Review – Offense
Putting a bow and final review on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason as training camp sits only days away. A look at the offense, the changes made, and what to watch for over the next five weeks as we race towards the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Later this week, we’ll do the same for […]
Beat Writer Believes Mike McCarthy’s Steelers Offense Has ‘A Chance’ To Top 26 Points Per Game
Can Mike McCarthy revive the Steelers offensively and make them formidable on the scoreboard? Ray Fittipaldo believes so. But it’s far from a guarantee, he admits, even if the potential is there. With the changes made this offseason, he is at least confident in an improvement from 2025. “I definitely think it profiles to be […]
‘Just One Of The Boys:’ One Night In Greenfield Shows How Pittsburgh Mike McCarthy Is
The cement rectangle looks like a small chimney that got lost—or simply tired—on its way to the roof. It juts out the side of the red-brick building, and inside the small grotto carved out of it are coins scattered around the base of a Virgin Mary statue. A white sheet of paper taped behind it […]
DeFabo Believes Steelers Tipped Their Hand On Max Iheanachor, ‘Would Almost Be Surprised’ If He Starts Week 1
Count The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo among the Steelers beat writers not anticipating rookie Max Iheanachor to start Week 1. At least, entering training camp, he doesn’t believe that is what the team has planned. Pittsburgh’s first-round draft pick, he is obviously their future, but the present may be just a bit too soon. Speaking on […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – ILB Cole Holcomb
Player: ILB Cole Holcomb Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Well, we already discussed Malik Harrison and Carson Bruener, so we should probably get to Cole Holcomb, too. At least one beat writer seems to be under the impression that the veteran is in for an increased role. Presumably, that is based on what the Steelers showed […]
Kinkhabwala Expects More ‘Player Accountability’ In Camp Under McCarthy: ‘A Lot Tighter There’ Than Tomlin
We’re about to embark on the Steelers’ first training camp not under Mike Tomlin in decades, Mike McCarthy now presiding. What changes? Well, we know the schedule is different, and McCarthy ran a tighter ship during spring practices. For Aditi Kinkhabwala, that is not the biggest difference that she expects to see, though. For that, […]
Ravens Beat Writer Names Biggest Question Baltimore Faces Entering Camp
If the Ravens want to return to contending status, they need several things to go their way. Including their star DL Nnamdi Madubuike’s health. That’s why The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec named his medical status the biggest question the team faces entering training camp. Given how its defense looked without him last year, that seems reasonable […]
Can Gennings Dunker Bully His Way To A Starting Job?
Can Gennings Dunker bully his way to a starting job? While rookie Gennings Dunker has a built-in fan base, what he doesn’t have—yet—is a spot in the starting lineup. A 2026 third-round draft pick, he figures to be in the mix, though, for the right guard job. Technically speaking, there is no incumbent, Isaac Seumalo […]

‘Too Many Unknowns’: Trai Essex Ranks Steelers’ Secondary Third-Best In AFC North
The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled across the board defensively in 2025. However, the secondary was potentially the most disappointing group for the Steelers last year, with a couple of notable offseason additions failing to live up to expectations. Thus, it’s a unit they made a few additions to this offseason. But there are still too many […]
‘People Are Sleeping On The Steelers’: Charlie Batch Confident Pittsburgh Will Repeat As AFC North Champs
Last season was another disappointing year for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the team once again failing to win a playoff game. However, it wasn’t a total disaster. For example, the Steelers won the AFC North for the first time since the 2020 season. That’s a step in the right direction, although many people don’t expect […]

Former NFL GM: Max Iheanachor ‘Going To Deal With Some Real Struggles’ If Forced To Start Too Early
The Pittsburgh Steelers have bolstered their offensive line in the last few drafts. That includes this year, with the team selecting offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round. Troy Fautanu will hold down one of the starting tackle spots, but Iheanachor will have a chance to win the job opposite Fautanu. However, former NFL […]
‘Earned The Right’: Beat Writer Explains Why Jaylen Warren May Stay ‘On The Field More’ Than Rico Dowdle
Running back is among a multitude of Pittsburgh Steelers position battles to watch this summer. Jaylen Warren proved he could produce with more reps last year. Now, he’s joined by Rico Dowdle, who will compete for a starting role of his own. Both are physical rushers who bring plenty of intensity to their respective games. […]
‘Gonna Be A Good Stat Line’: Former GM Offers Plan To Get T.J. Watt Double-Digit Sacks
Figuring out the outside linebacker rotation is one of a few difficult decisions the new Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff has to make. T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and even second-year man Jack Sawyer, all have their own argument for more playing time. Watt has long been a player who’s hardly ever come off the […]
