‘Don’t Give A Damn How Old You Are’: Chris Simms Thinks Aaron Rodgers Should Play In Preseason
Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is progressing, and it won’t be long before the team plays its first preseason game. However, it’s still unclear if Aaron Rodgers will suit up. He said that Mike McCarthy wants him to play in the preseason, but Rodgers didn’t sound thrilled about the idea. Many, including Ben Roethlisberger, don’t think […]
Analyst Suggests Steelers Big Breakout Candidate
If the Pittsburgh Steelers defense wants to feel good about its present and future, a big second-year from DL Derrick Harmon would go a long way. Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano named Harmon as Pittsburgh’s breakout candidate in an article that suggested the top name for all 32 teams. “If he’s fully healthy, he’ll be a […]
Pat Freiermuth Will Be ‘Much Bigger’ Part Of Steelers Offense, Says DeFabo
After a disappointing 2025 season in which his role was reduced and his opportunities seemingly disappeared in the blink of an eye, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth stated his frustration and hoped for an increased role in 2026 under a new coaching staff. So far, that appears to be the case. Working under first-year head […]

Former NFL GM Provides Theory For Why McCarthy Wants Rodgers To Log Preseason Snaps
The Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the 2026 preseason a week from Thursday against the Green Bay Packers. Will Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers play, and if he does, how much? Head coach Mike McCarthy said that both he and Rodgers would like to see the quarterback play in the preseason. However, McCarthy acknowledged that he must […]
Not First Ballot? Analyst Predicts Ben Roethlisberger Misses Hall Of Fame On Initial Try
Canton, Ohio, could see a mass influx of Black and Gold-clad Pittsburgh Steelers fans next summer should former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger be what many expect: a first-ballot Pro Hall of Famer. Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season, capping an 18-year career that saw him win two Super Bowls and consistently have the Steelers in contention, […]
Stephen A. Smith’s ‘Concern’ With Steelers Is ‘Average’ DC Patrick Graham
The Pittsburgh Steelers figure to look different this season compared to recent years. Mike Tomlin was the team’s head coach for almost 20 years, but he stepped down this offseason. While much of the attention is on how new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy will affect Pittsburgh’s offense, the defense should change as well. Tomlin […]
‘Anything Short Of That Is A Failure’: Ex-NFL DL Says Steelers’ Season Can Only Be Successful With Super Bowl Win
Aaron Rodgers has signed up for one last ride in the NFL. He’s left zero room for doubt that this will be his final year in the league. Rodgers helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win their division last year, and now, reunited with Mike McCarthy, there’s hope he can help the franchise finally win a playoff […]
Steelers Should Be ‘Grinning Ear To Ear’ Over Max Iheanachor’s Early Showing, Former NFL GM Says
Entering training camp, the big question surrounding Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor was how much time he’d need getting up to speed in the NFL. Turns out, at least through the first two padded practices in Latrobe at Saint Vincent College, not much time at all. The Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo said Wednesday morning […]
‘Perfect Guy For A Redshirt Year’: Kaboly Gives Early Evaluation On Gennings Dunker
If there is one starting position on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster that is wide open this summer, it is right guard. With Mason McCormick moving from right to left guard and Isaac Seumalo departing in free agency, the Steelers are searching for a new starter along the interior of their offensive line. While many viewed […]
‘Roman Wilson Is Well Ahead Of Germie Bernard’ After Impressive Start, Says Beat Writer
The Pittsburgh Steelers went into this offseason intent on upgrading at wide receiver. After the end of last season, the only proven wide receiver on the roster was DK Metcalf. So, the Steelers traded for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafted Germie Bernard. However, could it be that third-year WR Roman Wilson is finally coming into […]
‘Low-Ceiling Operation’: Analyst Predicts Steelers Miss Playoffs
The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their first season without former head coach Mike Tomlin in essentially two decades. It’s an offseason of change for an organization that prides itself on stability. So, will the Steelers under head coach Mike McCarthy be able to compete for a playoff spot in 2026? They won the […]
Study: A Closer Look At Asante Samuel Jr.
Prior to padded practices, one Pittsburgh Steeler has impressed rather consistently – CB Asante Samuel Jr. His 2024/2025 seasons were cut short by injury, which clearly took time to recover from. Thus far in camp, Samuel is making plays on the football daily. This got me curious: what did his last healthy season (in 2023) […]
With Lofty Goals, There’s A Big NFL ‘Party’ Cam Heyward Aims To Join This Year
Cam Heyward would probably trade all his personal accolades for a Super Bowl ring. With a playoff resume that’s practically empty, Heyward is running out of chances to find postseason glory. All he can do is play his best football to help the Pittsburgh Steelers win, and he has big 2026 goals to get there. […]
Big Ben Bullish On Asante Samuel Jr.: ‘A Guy That You’re Gonna Want Out There’
The Steelers may have a spare starting cornerback in their midst in Asante Samuel Jr., which is precisely what he was before. A former second-round pick, he started throughout his career with the Chargers prior to a severe neck injury. That situation rerouted his career, and he has found that he must prove himself all […]
Kozora: Initial Impressions Of The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Rookie Class
With six practices including two padded sessions in the books, it’s worth taking inventory of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie draft class. There’s still a lot more to learn and evaluate and three preseason games will tell us a lot. By no means are my below thoughts final and etched in stone. Nonetheless, here are my […]
Max Iheanachor Already Looks Better Than Broderick Jones Ever Has, Beat Writer Says
It’s rare that a rookie offensive lineman arrives at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp and immediately looks like he belongs with the starters. The last time Pittsburgh saw this kind of immediate impact was in 2010, when Maurkice Pouncey burst onto the scene, won the starting center job, and never looked back. Now, first-round OT Max […]
Despite Pro-Tackling Stance, Cam Heyward Is Trusting Mike McCarthy’s Camp Plan
Winning over young players is one thing. Convincing a 16-year veteran like Cameron Heyward to embrace a new way of doing things is another. After spending his entire career under Mike Tomlin, Heyward has questions about some of the changes Mike McCarthy has implemented at training camp. Chief among them? No tackling. “I’ve always been […]
‘Really Needs DK Metcalf To Step Up’: Asante Samuel Sr. Proposes Role Change For Steelers’ Receiver
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded a second-round pick for DK Metcalf last offseason, then signed a $150 million contract to keep him long-term. While he had nice moments in 2025, Metcalf didn’t live up to that price in his first season as a Steeler. Former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel Sr., father of current Steelers cornerback Asante […]
Limited Thus Far, DeShon Elliott ‘Plans To Ramp Up His Practice Participation Next Week’
DeShon Elliott hasn’t been himself since his injury last year. He’s still not quite, but he intends to take the next step shortly. The Steelers’ staff has had the veteran safety in a managed protocol dictating the steps toward his full return. That protocol takes a step forward after this week, he told reporters, having […]
Hall Of Fame Voter Believes It Will Be ‘Very Difficult’ For Mike Tomlin To Get Inducted
It’s strange not to see Mike Tomlin in attendance at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. He had been the team’s head coach since 2007. However, he stepped down this offseason. Tomlin said he felt like it was time for a change. He’s currently working on television, but it’s unclear if he’ll ever return to the NFL. […]
‘I Don’t Give A Damn’: Cam Heyward Reacts To Top-100 Snub, Madden Rating
Something has to add fuel to the fire for a 37-year-old to continue pushing to be the best in a young man’s game like the NFL. For Cameron Heyward, he’s always felt a certain type of way about how he’s viewed around the league. This year, he has plenty of reasons to want to prove […]
‘Solid Starter’ Mason McCormick Lands Outside Top 20 In PFF’s Guard Rankings
Coming off a strong 2025 season, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Mason McCormick enters his third season dealing with quite a few changes. Not only is McCormick learning a new offensive scheme under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy, but he’s also making the transition from right guard to left guard. After the Steelers lost veteran Isaac […]
Mike DeFabo ‘Much More Confident’ Roman Wilson Will Be ‘Significant Contributor’ This Year
So far, Roman Wilson has held off his rookie challenger, Germie Bernard, but what’s different this year for a good practice player? A former third-round pick, Wilson has generally done well during the week, when healthy. The concern has been when it counts, and is why he finished last season on the bench. Off to […]
