What is the ceiling for Drew Allar as a rookie? We’re still in May, so there’s a long way to go, but as it concerns Drew Allar as a rookie, what is the ceiling for the third-round pick? Right off the bat, we can deduce two variables that won’t happen. Allar certainly isn’t going to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ new coaching staff features a pass rush coach. In title, Shawn Howe carries the title of an all-encompassing “defensive assistant,” but the team will lean on his knowledge to train up Pittsburgh’s front to get after the quarterback. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, defensive line coach Domata Peko gave Howe a shout when […]

With an almost entirely new coaching staff in 2026, the Steelers defense should look different this season.

At the team’s OTA on Wednesday, several assistant coaches spoke to the media, including new defensive line coach Domata Peko, who hinted at some position changes for Pittsburgh’s Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black.

Under the team’s former defensive line coach Karl Dunbar, Benton primarily played nose tackle while Black often operated as a 4i (lining up on the offensive tackle’s inside shoulder). Fans and analysts often argued the two players were miscast, with Benton fitting the best as a 3-tech, and Black playing...

With a crowded cornerback room likely limiting his immediate role, rookie Daylen Everette has flown under the radar this offseason. But through rookie minicamp and OTAs, the Steelers may already be seeing signs of why they invested a third-round pick in him. “From what I’ve seen so far (yes, it’s early), I really like CB […]

On both sides of the ball, versatility is a priority for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ new coaching staff. That’s evident in their defensive backfield, especially. Jalen Ramsey switched from cornerback to primarily a safety in 2025, and he’s expected to be something of a Swiss army knife in the secondary this year. This will allow the […]

PITTSBURGH — During his media availability on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers running backs coach Ramon Chinyoung raved about seventh-round pick Eli Heidenreich. Heidenreich, who finished his career as Navy’s all-time leader for receiving yards (1,994) and receiving touchdowns (16), is listed as a running back/wide receiver but he’s been in the running backs room exclusively.

“He’s been in my room every day. He’s a Swiss Navy knife, I told him to patent that,” Chinyoung said. “Great kid, does a great job of just meshing with the guys and relationships, but also taking the time to learn the scheme, identifying where he...

The Pittsburgh Steelers added a handful of big names to the roster this offseason on top of making major changes to the coaching staff, giving them a real opportunity to compete and potentially get over the hump in the playoffs.

Under a new head coach, new offensive coordinator and a new running backs coach, second-year Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson gets a fresh start in a sense. After a rough rookie season in which he touched the ball just 29 times offensively for 78 total yards and was known most for his special teams […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers second-year quarterback Will Howard continues to receive rave reviews this offseason. On Wednesday, Steelers quarterbacks coach Tom Arth gushed about the former Ohio State Buckeye quarterback.

“He’s doing everything and more that we can ask of him,” Arth said. “He is exceeding expectations. We couldn’t be happier with where he is at.”

Arth has been impressed with what he’s seen from Howard, but he noted that it’s still early in the process.

“He’s performed well here in OTAs up to this point, but once we get to training camp and into preseason I think that’s where...
