🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell is well aware of who wore No. 14 before him in Pittsburgh, even though he did not mention George Pickens by his name.
“It means a lot to me. I’m excited about it. I know it was a previous guy number, but that don’t mean nothing these days, but I’m excited to be back in 14 and continue that legacy,” Gainwell said.
🏈 Pro Football Focus named Aaron Rodgers as the Steelers biggest X-factor in 2025.
“The Steelers are the only team on this list whose X-factor isn’t even on the active roster. Aaron Rodgers is a free agent at the time of writing, but he has teased all offseason about signing with the Steelers,” PFF wrote. “The 41-year-old was still solid last year with the Jets, posting a 76.3 PFF passing grade that was a top-15 mark in the league. If he does indeed sign with Pittsburgh, the team could make the playoffs. If he doesn’t and the Steelers are forced to start Mason Rudolph, they could be picking near the top of the 2026 NFL Draft.”
