Enjoy watching Aaron Rodgers this season, because the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback let it be known on Wednesday that it will be his last. All eyes will be on the four-time Associated Press NFL MVP, who will almost certainly be a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who notably once wiped his cleats with a beloved Terrible Towel, doesn’t think that it will be the send-off Rodgers is hoping for.

“His mark on football will forever be there, that imprint, because all these quarterbacks that I see in high school, college, they come out wanting...

Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle give the Pittsburgh Steelers a pair of starting-caliber running backs. Both will see plenty of action, but who will be true RB1? The Athletic Beat writer Mike DeFabo thinks it’ll be a photo finish, though he leans toward the new name who has the history with the head coach. “I […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has focused on a few different receivers since Antonio Brown was traded away in 2019. Last season, DK Metcalf became the central wideout in the team’s attack after arriving via trade from Seattle, but he had the fewest receiving yards (850) of any season in his seven-year NFL career.

Add in a controversial interaction with a fan during the Steelers’ Week 16 win on the road against the Detroit Lions, and fans have their reasons to knock the hulking 6-foot-4 weapon. Ex-Steelers superstar Antonio Brown believes the down year will propel Metcalf to something bigger this...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — What started out as a way to keep playing football, ended in a way to play at the very highest level, and a life-changing journey for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Eli Heidenreich.

Heidenreich, a Mt. Lebanon native, and the rest of the 1,058 members of the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2026 graduated on Friday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, and he was commissioned as a reserve officer the United States Marine Corps.

This offseason has been a big one for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they try to make a Super Bowl push. However, it’s been important for the city of Pittsburgh, too, with the NFL draft coming to town. The event was a major success, shattering the attendance record set by Detroit in 2024. However, former Allegheny […]

When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted QB Drew Allar with the No. 76 overall pick, they did so betting on what he could become, not what he already is. According to The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, the growing pains are apparent at early OTA practices. “This is a guy who’s not ready to play at the NFL […]

In Omar Khan’s first draft as Pittsburgh Steelers GM, he landed a number of key contributors for the Black and Gold with Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Darnell Washington, Nick Herbig, and more. Khan added at least eventual three starters and another high-ceiling pass rusher who would start on 31 other teams. At the time, […]

PITTSBURGH — Heading into another prove-it season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, third-year receiver Roman Wilson recently chose to switch his jersey number from No. 10 — which he wore for his first two seasons as a professional — to No. 14.

Wilson sported the latter digit during his first three campaigns at Michigan before donning No. 1 as a senior. He explained why he claimed No. 14, last worn by tailback Kenneth Gainwell, on Wednesday.

“It’s a number I changed to when I was in high school,” Wilson said. “It’s been my number for a long time. It’s just something...

Being a student-athlete at the Naval Academy comes with significant challenges. It’s not like other normal Division I schools when it comes to the perceived balance between sports and classes. Instead, there’s so much more in Annapolis, from physical training to work within each company midshipmen are divided into. That work away from the playing […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule isn’t quite as dramatic as it could have been during Aaron Rodgers’ final NFL season. Mike McCarthy’s team doesn’t play the Green Bay Packers in the regular season and won’t see the New York Jets at all.

Rodgers surely has a challenge ahead of him, however. According to Warren Sharp, Rodgers will face the third-toughest schedule in terms of pass defenses this upcoming season, which includes five games against air resistances that ranked in the top-4 a campaign ago.

Rodgers squared off against two of those units — the Houston Texans (who allowed 183.5 passing yards...

Aaron Rodgers has a legitimate case for being the most skilled quarterback to ever lace his cleats up. ESPN’s Michael Wilbon believes the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback “in no way measured up physically to the talent” of John Elway, and also believes Dan Marino and Joe Montana eclipse him.

Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair, who’s recognized by WWE as a 16-time world champion, was tuned into the episode of “First Take” in which Wilbon offered his thought.

“I Am Currently Sitting With Two Doctors- One A Pulmonary Doctor And Another One, A Surgeon. We Are Watching @RealMikeWilbon Crack On @AaronRodgers12,” [Flair...
