If Aaron Rodgers hadn’t re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Will Howard would have been a popular candidate for their QB1 job. Although some felt a sense of risk in the idea of starting a sixth-round pick with no NFL experience. But the Steelers felt more comfortable with Howard, even back in the 2025 season, according […]

One of the hot topics in recent days has been what the Pittsburgh Steelers will do behind Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

Mason Rudolph doesn’t consider himself the odd man out. When it comes to spring reps, however, he’s drawn the short straw. With four quarterbacks vying for snaps during OTAs, Rudolph is taking a backseat to veteran starter Aaron Rodgers and the two youngsters, second-year Will Howard and rookie Drew Allar. “That’s kind of been communicated,” […]

After an up-and-down 2025 season that saw the WR2 role behind DK Metcalf become a revolving door of struggling production, the Pittsburgh Steelers went out and addressed the hole in a major way. GM Omar Khan swung a trade with the Indianapolis Colts prior to the start of the new league year, landing veteran receiver […]

With Aaron Rodgers back in town, the quarterback room is crowded in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have two veterans in Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, but they’ve also got two youngsters in Will Howard and Drew Allar. For a veteran backup like Rudolph, that creates a sticky situation.

Germie Bernard doesn’t plan to waste a moment of Aaron Rodgers final NFL season. Roughly one year older than Rodgers entire professional career, Bernard is already in Rodgers’ ear. “It’s been a blessing to be able to learn from him,” Bernard said Wednesday via the team website. “Asking him as in many questions as I […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in their first week of OTAs, getting a look at some of their new players. One of the more surprising developments has been their starting offensive line combination. While Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick have mainly played on the right side, they were moved to the left side to start OTAs. […]

Last year, DK Metcalf didn’t get much help from the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ receiving corps. Upgrading it was obviously a big priority as the Steelers traded for Michael Pittman Jr. as soon as the new league year began. They also gave Metcalf another more help after trading up for Germie Bernard in the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already shaken things up in the Mike McCarthy era. With OTAs beginning this past Monday, the alignment of the offensive line looks very different than it did in 2025.

Tory Fautanu and Mason McCormick were moved to the left side, with Fautanu playing left tackle and McCormick at guard. Dylan Cook was at right tackle with Spencer Anderson at right guard. Head coach Mike McCarthy was asked about this on Wednesday while speaking with the media.

“I really just wanted to get that left side set,” McCarthy said. “Those guys were really excited about it.”
