🏈 Pro Football Focus believes the Steelers have the strongest defensive line in the NFL.
“The Steelers boasted the NFL’s top-graded defensive line last season. T.J. Watt is still at the top of his game as the only player who earned 90.0-plus PFF grades in run defense and as a pass rusher in 2024. Alex Highsmith wasn’t far behind with an 89.3 PFF pass-rush grade,” Dalton Wasserman of PFF wrote.
“Even at his advanced age, Cameron Heyward managed to rank second among defensive tackles with a 90.1 PFF overall grade. Add in contributions from Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton and first-round pick Derrick Harmon, who led all FBS interior defenders in pressures last season, and the Steelers will once again carry an elite unit into the 2025 season.”
🏈 The Steelers are currently favored in only six games in 2025. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Pittsburgh is currently 3-point favorites (+110 odds) and are -156 on the money line. The Jets are +132 in the latter regard, while the over/under is set at 39.5 points.
🏈 South Carolina LaNorris Sellers could be a quarterback on Pittsburgh’s radar in the 2026 NFL Draft. He has an uncanny ability to keep plays alive, similar to Ben Roethlisberger.
