The new NFL year rolls right along, and the calendar is moving closer and closer to the return to football for NFL teams. Though the NFL Draft is drawing close in late April in Green Bay, the NFL announced the offseason workout dates for all 32 teams Thursday. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, their first day […]

An unnamed NFL executive thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are in for a disaster if they end up landing 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is notorious for publicly calling out teammates and coaches, and that probably will not mesh well with hot-tempered wide receivers DK Metcalf and George Pickens.

“Rodgers with Pickens and DK, if it’s not ‘Hard Knocks,’ it had better be,” an exec said to The Athletic’s Mike Sando. “I can’t think of a worse combination for all this to play out. In what world do you look at DK and go, ‘Let’s give that guy ($30 million) a...

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Pitt tight end Gavin Bartholomew for a pre-draft visit at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Thursday. Since he played at Pitt, Bartholomew is a local visit and will not count against the 30 pre-draft visits that each team is allowed.

Bartholomew, who measured at 6-foot-5, 246 pounds with a hand size of 9 7/8″, ran an official 4.70 40-time at the NFL Combine. That was fourth-best among participating tight ends, tying with Thomas Fidone II of Nebraska.

Bartholomew did not run the 40-yard dash at his pro day, but he participated in...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Florida State cornerback Azareye’h Thomas for a top-30 pre-draft visit.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Florida State cornerback Azareye’h Thomas for a pre-draft visit at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Thursday.

Thomas is one of the top cornerback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, and is currently the No. 40 player on the NFL Mock Draft Database consensus big board.

The Steelers recently signed veteran cornerback Darius Slay in free agency to pair with Joey Porter Jr. in their secondary, but Slay is likely just a one-year rental at 34.

Thomas, on the...

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson among four-draft visitors to UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Thursday.

Johnson is one of the top running back prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, and is currently the No. 60 player on the NFL Mock Draft Database consensus big board.

With speedsters Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell already on the roster, Johnson would be a change of pace for the Steelers as a power back. He’s 6-foot-1 and 224 pounds, but still ran a 4.57-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine.

Johnson showed plenty of burst to...

From now until the 2025 NFL Draft, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, a […]

The 2025 NFL Draft is just 24 days away, and things are starting to heat up from a pre-draft visit standpoint for the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Thursday, the Steelers are reportedly hosting four players for pre-draft visits at the facility on the South Side. They include Texas WR Matthew Golden, Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson, […]

Every draft cycle, we hear of players who have taken difficult routes to get to the NFL. Julius Welschof certainly fits that bill. Welschof is from Germany and would have always had a harder route to the NFL than players born in the states. However, his story is even more interesting than that. On teammate […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting speedy Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden for a top-30 pre-draft visit.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers will host Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden for a pre-draft visit at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Thursday.

Golden is a fast-rising prospect who tore it up during Texas’ run in the College Football Playoffs, greatly elevating his draft stock. He finished the 2024 season with 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns.

The 21-year-old also had an impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he showed off his blazing-fast speed while running a 4.29-second 40-yard dash....

Another quarterback came off the market this morning when the New England Patriots traded QB Joe Milton III to the Dallas Cowboys for a late-round pick swap. While some have speculated that the Pittsburgh Steelers had interest in him, FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz is now reporting that they indeed interest throughout the trade process. “My […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are most of the way through the first part of the offseason leading to the draft. Before we get there, we’re going to take stock of how the roster has evolved over the past several weeks. Position by position, we’ll break down who’s coming and going and what’s next, for those rookies […]

The New England Patriots have traded Joe Milton to the Dallas Cowboys

The Pittsburgh Steelers still only have two quarterbacks on their roster. They signed former Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson ahead of the offseason, and brought back former third-round pick Mason Rudolph after he spent a season with the Tennessee Titans.

Pittsburgh continues to wait out Aaron Rodgers, but even so, the future at the position won’t be on the roster. Needing to throw a few darts at the board while in quarterback purgatory, there were some who thought the Steelers should trade for New England Patriots quarterback Joe...
