The Pittsburgh Steelers revamped their roster this offseason, improving at quarterback and along the offensive line as their roster in general just got better. It was a necessity for the Steelers to improve with how difficult their division is, as in 2023 every AFC North team had a winning record, and heading into 2024, PFF […]

50 Words or Less: Derrick Henry Could Have Another Big Game Against Chiefs

Clifton Brown, BaltimoreRavens.com

In six games against the Kansas City Chiefs including the playoffs, Derrick Henry has averaged 112.0 yards and 5.6 yards per carry with eight touchdowns. Think the Chiefs are happy the Ravens signed Henry?

The Ravens and Chiefs have months to think about their Week 1 matchup. That makes the opener even more fascinating. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Todd Monken and Lamar Jackson share thoughts this summer plotting for their next crack at...

The post Kordell Stewart Says the NFL Wasn’t Ready for Him appeared first on Steelers Now.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart was ahead of his time in the 1990s. If he played about 15 years later, he would have been utilized a lot better. In today’s game, his dual-threat abilities certainly would flourish.

Stewart was a pioneer of the modern day dual-threat quarterback.

“You know the stubborn side of me says they weren’t ready for me, but I was ready for the game,” Stewart told Rob King of Steelers.com in a recent interview. “That’s the stubborn side, but being...

Pro Football Focus put out their list of the top 25 players under 25 and their top 30 players over 30 in the NFL, and while the Steelers didn’t have anyone make the 25 under 25 list, they did have DL Cameron Heyward come in at No. 11 on the 30 under 30 list. PFF […]

The 2024 schedule has plenty of challenges for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with one of the hardest strengths of schedule in the NFL. There is also the wild final eight weeks of the season in which they will play all of their divisional matchups, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Kansas City Chiefs. But there are plenty […]

Bringing you guys another video today. Here, I’m breaking down sixth-round pick CB Ryan Watts. As we’ve done with the other draft picks, we’re examining some of the best parts of his game. These clips highlight his size, press ability, length, and surprising fluidity to drive and match downhill. As always, let me know your […]

The post John Harbaugh Explains Why New Kickoff Rule Favors Ravens and Steelers appeared first on Steelers Now.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh recently spoke about the new kickoff rule, and how it’s an advantage for teams that run a 3-4 defense like the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Harbaugh, who got his start in the NFL as a special teams coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, puts a big emphasis on special teams and it shows with his units in Baltimore, consistently being one of the best.

“It’s really subtle and very good point because you don’t have to run...

As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under Futures contracts for the 2024 offseason — the ones who spent most of, if not the entire year, on the practice squad — and what we can expect from them during training camp and (hopefully) into the regular season. Today, […]

Their families have known each other since they were five

One of the Cincinnati Bengals' undrafted free agent signings and Ja’Marr Chase are childhood best friends.

The 5-foot-10 former Tulane standout Lance Robinson played with Chase in youth and middle school sports before the two eventually parted ways in high school.

Having known each other since they were five, the two, along with a group of just over half a dozen from that time, have stayed close. Robinson will now get a shot to make the roster beside his former best friend.

“He knows my tendencies, I know his tendencies....

The Pittsburgh Steelers elected not to re-sign ILB Robert Spillane in free agency last offseason, opting for alternative free agents. They added Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts, and eventually signed Kwon Alexander as well. That nucleus worked well enough while healthy, but that only lasted half a season. In the interim, Spillane signed on with […]

The post Mason McCormick’s Trajectory Could Impact James Daniels’ Future appeared first on Steelers Now.

On paper, the Pittsburgh Steelers should be set on the offensive line for years to come with two first-round pick bookend offensive tackles, a plug-and-play center and two solid veteran guards. One of those veteran guards, James Daniels, is heading into his final year on his contract.

Mark Kaboly of The Athletic thinks Steelers’ fourth-round selection Mason McCormick could be groomed to take over Daniels’ spot at right guard in 2025.

“Put it this way. If he does, we’ll find out by the start of...
