If Germie Bernard is going to excel during his rookie season, the foundation will be laid now in the offseason. Part of the value in having Aaron Rodgers sign earlier this month and report for the Steelers’ offseason program is working with his receivers. Getting his first taste of the NFL, Bernard knows the importance […]

He’s already moving from offensive tackle to guard, but that’s not Pittsburgh Steelers rookie Gennings Dunker’s toughest transition to the NFL game so far. Speaking with reporters during OTAs earlier in the week, Dunker detailed the one challenge adjusting to the NFL game, and it’s a common one: speed of the game. “These guys are […]

Despite being one of the most dangerous weapons on a stagnant offense, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth had a quiet season in 2025. A conservative passing game and an abundance of tight ends contributed to Freiermuth’s worst receiving statistics in a full season since he was hampered by injuries in 2023. With a new […]

The inside linebacker position for the Pittsburgh Steelers remains completely unchanged from a season ago. At the same time, the group’s identity feels uncertain from the outside, and several players have something to prove this season. “I think it’s just a statement of time, of going out there and proving it. Every single guy in […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders through the first half of the 2020 season, racing out to an 11-0 start and appearing destined for a deep playoff run. Instead, the season unraveled down the stretch, culminating in a stunning 48-37 Wild Card loss to the Cleveland Browns.

According to former Steelers tight end Eric Ebron, the collapse may have stemmed from a significant issue that wasn’t publicly known at the time.

Speaking on The Raw Room podcast, Ebron recalled a meeting called by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during the season, where the veteran signal-caller revealed just how much...

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson might be taking his game in OTAs to another level, but will that improvement help him lock down a roster spot? That remains to be seen for the second-year running back, who was a third-round pick of the Steelers last year. His rookie season went pretty poorly, as Johnson […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up their second week of OTAs on Friday, and their rookie class continues to impress. Wide receiver Germie Bernard has been a hot topic of conversation with how strong he’s looked over the first two weeks of team activities, and now it’s quarterback Drew Allar’s turn.

The third-round pick out of Penn State made strides in the second week of organized team activities, and Noah Strackbein of All Steelers named the young signal-caller as one of his winners of the week.

“The rookie quarterback took a noticable step forward in terms of his comfort level working...

PITTSBURGH — If Roman Wilson had emerged within their offense over the past two seasons, it’s safe to say it’s unlikely the Pittsburgh Steelers would’ve plucked Germie Bernard so early in last month’s 2026 NFL Draft.

It doesn’t seem that Wilson has taken the second-round selection personally.

After Thursday’s OTA practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Wilson was asked about how he’s helping Bernard learn and adapt to the pros.

“Whatever he needs, he’s always welcome to reach out,” Wilson said. “I can give him any advice (he needs), and I’m always a resource to him.”

Wilson, a third-round...

PITTSBURGH — Weeks before Rico Dowdle put pen to paper and joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, his mother put the move into the ether.

All it took was seeing the news that Mike McCarthy was taking over for his hometown team.

“I think my mom was the first one to say it,” the tailback said after Thursday’s OTA practice at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “When she’d seen him get hired, she called me and said, ‘You’re going to Pittsburgh.’ Like, as soon as he got hired, that’s the first thing she said.”

Dowdle played under McCarthy with the Dallas Cowboys from...

PITTSBURGH — Dylan Cook began last season on the practice squad. He ended it by trying to stay in front of Houston Texans edge rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter in the playoffs.

“That was awesome,” Cook said after Thursday’s OTA practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “The outcome sucked, but it was a lot of fun to be a part of that game. Great learning experience. Those are two of the best rushers we have in this league. … It really made me up my game, mid-game. We were on the sideline talking adjustments, talking what we...

PITTSBURGH — Isaac Seumalo’s departure left a hole to be filled on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line. It appears Mike McCarthy’s team plugged it up by moving Mason McCormick from right to left guard, but his switch leaves another job opening.

Enter Spencer Anderson.

Anderson, 25, is a fourth-year pro, the Steelers’ seventh-round pick in 2023. The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder has made 11 starts over the past two seasons, but is competing with Dallas Cowboys transplant Brock Hoffman and rookie third-rounder Gennings Dunker for a larger role this upcoming season.

Anderson filled in for Seumalo for spurts a season ago, but...

Joey Porter Jr.’s fourth season with the Pittsburgh Steelers could be his best yet. Porter is in line for a massive extension this summer, and he could achieve a first on the field, too. Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker believes Porter is poised to become a first-time All-Pro in 2026. The Steelers corner was highlighted […]
