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...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to compete for a Super Bowl in 2026. While they haven’t won a playoff game in almost a decade, they have high expectations for themselves. They won the AFC North last year, and they’ve upgraded their roster, so they could improve upon how they finished 2025. However, Albert Breer picked […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers waited for Aaron Rodgers to make a decision on his future for most of this offseason, and their patience was rewarded. He re-signed with them earlier this week, giving them their starting quarterback for 2026. Some Steelers fans don’t love that, though. They wanted the team to give Will Howard a shot. […]

Aaron Rodgers‘ talents and personality aren’t run-of-the-mill. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 42-year-old quarterback let it be known on Wednesday that he intends on this being his final NFL season, and the man who bristles at being a news story suddenly became the center of the football world.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio believes the announcement — which, to be fair, was in response to a question directly asking if Rodgers feels that this will be his last hurrah — is a curious one.

“It’s an unusual move for franchise quarterbacks,” Florio wrote Thursday. “Tom Brady didn’t do it. Peyton Manning didn’t,...

For seven years, DK Metcalf played under a defensive head coach. In Year 8 with the Steelers under Mike McCarthy, that finally changes. After playing six seasons under Pete Carroll in Seattle, he played, of course, for Mike Tomlin with the Steelers. Tomlin’s resignation led to Pittsburgh hiring McCarthy—their first offensive-minded head coach in generations. […]

The Steelers got back on the training field this week as the organization held its first week of OTAs. For fans, the reporting and videos that circulated this week were our first look at how the new-look Steelers will operate under Mike McCarthy and his freshly assembled coaching staff. Among that staff is new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, the first assistant coach McCarthy hired after being named the Steelers’ top man.

During a media availability period this week, Graham gave several insights into how he’s acclimating to Pittsburgh, what his process looks like as a coach, and what his hopes...

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy reveals his vision for the team’s quarterback room.

The Pittsburgh Steelers currently have four quarterbacks on their roster in Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar. However, it has been heavily debated about how many quarterbacks and who will be on the roster by Week 1.

If Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy had it his way, it would be all four.

“Well, we have four. We definitely got four that we love. I can say that you always have to develop the room, that’s always been the approach,” McCarthy said. “So, we’re...

With the Steelers’ offseason practices well underway, third-year OT Troy Fautanu seems to be on the move—to left tackle. While not a revelation, it is apparently the increasingly most likely scenario. After spending his first two seasons at right tackle, the timing is right for him to move, Ray Fittipaldo believes. “I’m, like, 95 percent […]
