When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Najee Harris 24th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, it was supposed to be a signal of a strong running game for years to come. Although Harris tallied over 1,000 rushing yards in all four seasons with Pittsburgh, his 3.9 career yards per carry and lack of explosive plays led the Steelers to look in another direction after his rookie contract expired.
Enter Kaleb Johnson, taken in the third round of the 2025 Draft out of Iowa, the reigning BIG 10 running back of the year. Johnson was a dynamic playmaker who [averaged over five...
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin Tomlin revealed in an interview with the team’s website on Saturday that Aaron Rodgers might not play at all this preseason. Asked about coaches that don’t play their quarterbacks in the preseason, Tomlin said, “you might be looking at one.”
“This guy has been doing this for 21 years,” Tomlin said. “His cumulative snap total and what’s required for him to be ready is different than others. And so if I’m not adaptable and open to adjustments relative to the needs of our guys, then I’m not doing my job. And so you might...
The pursuing the likes of Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay, the Steelers sought to add talent paired with winning culture. Both Pro Bowl cornerbacks carry with them Super Bowl rings, and the Steelers want another one for themselves. As do the seasoned veterans they brought in, and Ramsey recently talked about what he sees in […]
The big question surrounding the wide receiver corps for the Pittsburgh Steelers centers on whether they need to add outside help to the room behind DK Metcalf.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan refused to comment on either defensive tackle Cam Heyward or kicker Chris Boswell’s contract disputes during an interview with WDVE on Tuesday morning.
“We’re not going to talk about contractual issues,” Khan said. “I’ve known those guys for a long time, and I’m confident that those guys want to be world champions. That’s what we’re seeking. That’s what we all want.”
Boswell also refused to comment on Monday when asked about his hold-in, according to Jeff Hathhorn of 93.7 The Fan. Boswell said, “No, because I know what you want to ask me about.”...
Player: DL Yahya Black Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Of the Steelers’ two rookie defensive linemen, Yahya Black was the more noticeable in the preseason opener. Although he played fewer snaps—and is now dealing with an injury—he probably answered any questions about his roster spot. The fifth-round pick has a job secured, so now it’s just […]
Despite being a third-round pick, Pittsburgh Steelers fans have placed some pretty high expectations on Kaleb Johnson. It makes sense for the fan base to be excited about Johnson’s explosiveness after Najee Harris lacked that element for four years. However, Johnson didn’t show all of that explosiveness in his first preseason game on Saturday. While […]
Robert Woods signed a $2 million contract with the Steelers, but few still believe his roster spot is secure. Mark Kaboly does, but not for his play. The sports writer argued recently that Woods is inside the roster bubble as the token “veteran leader” Mike Tomlin loves. “As for Robert Woods, he’s your one true […]

With Skylar Thompson’s performance in the first preseason game, the Steelers have some thinking to do regarding the quarterback position. Thanks to Will Howard’s injury, it’s not clear he will be ready for the start of the season. That’s not just a question of health, dealing with a broken pinky, but more importantly, preparedness. If […]
