Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is focused on football and nothing else.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has found himself in the headlines for some good reasons and several bad throughout the first four years of his NFL career. However, he has done his best to shut out the noise this season and it has translated to the best of his career.

One NFL insider believes the Pittsburgh Steelers will finally get the monkey off their back this season.

It has been eight years since the Pittsburgh Steelers last won a playoff game. However, one NFL insider believes that streak will finally come to an end this season.

“I’ll say Mike Tomlin will get his first playoff win since 2016,” ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler wrote. “The Steelers will win the AFC North and steal a wild-card game at home. They are flawed, but they have an identity built through their running game.”

The Steelers must first earn their spot in the playoffs...

Dylan Cook made his first NFL start on Monday, and by the looks of things, it won’t be his last. For more reason than one.

Not everyone thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers should draft a quarterback in 2026.

It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been gearing up to select a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, one draft expert doesn’t think that would be such a good idea.

Todd McShay of The Ringer believes the 2027 NFL Draft has a chance to be generational at the quarterback position and that quarterback-needy teams like the Steelers should wait one more year to target the position.

“Everyone’s looking and saying, ‘You know what, maybe I buck the trend and go into the NFL as an...

Roman Wilson didn’t expect to ride the bench at the end of his second season, but he is remaining positive about his future.

The Pittsburgh Steelers tried out tight end Colin Granger, a 6-foot-8 former college basketball player, on Tuesday, according to the NFL transactions page.

The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Granger played college basketball at Ohio, Western Carolina and Coastal Carolina from 2020-25. His best season came as a redshirt senior in 2024-25, when he played in 31 games and made 11 starts for the Chanticleers. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per...

If DK Metcalf plays like a running back when he has the football after the catch, it’s certainly not by accident. And he certainly looked the part last Monday as he tossed former teammate Minkah Fitzpatrick aside before scoring a touchdown. It’s just part of his game, the way that he knows how to play, […]

Aidan Hutchinson has only played Aaron Rodgers once, but he won that game back in 2022. And he played a big role in engineering victory. While he only registered two assisted tackles in that game, he also had an interception. An interception at the goal line, on a gadget play with an offensive lineman as […]
