Aaron Rodgers is back for a second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not everyone is excited about that, though. Many people wanted the Steelers to move on from Rodgers, thinking that the quarterback is too old to rely on over the course of a full season. He turns 43 in early December, so that’s not […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. made a recruiting pitch to ex-Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on Tuesday.

Smith-Schuster wrote “Sheesh !!!” in response to Pittman posting a photo of him at the first day of OTAs on Monday.

Pittman responded, “When you coming home OG?”

Pittman and Smith-Schuster were teammates at USC for one season in 2016.

Smith-Schuster, 29, is currently a free agent after spending the last two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. In 14 games in 2024, Smith-Schuster had 18 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Last season, he caught 33 passes for 345...

Travis Homer has one path to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 53-man roster. It’s the same path that has kept him in the NFL for what he hopes will be his eighth season this year. Special teams are the name of the game for Homer, who signed a one-year contract with the Steelers this offseason. A running […]

PITTSBURGH — New Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio gave an early indication of what the foreseeable future could hold for 2026 first-round pick Max Iheanachor.

“I mean, we’ll move him around, take some looks at him, see where he fits well, and he will learn multiple positions,” Angelichio said.

In addition to many other position rooms, the offensive line has been one of the biggest topics of conversation throughout the offseason, especially when it comes to how everything will shake out. The general theme, not only for Iheanachor but for the entire room, seems to be versatility. The Steelers...

Aaron Rodgers has returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is another sign they want to compete for a Super Bowl this year. Whether or not that’s realistic is up for debate, though. The Steelers won their division last year, but they subsequently got blown out in the playoffs. It’s been almost a decade since they’ve […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost more than 1,000 special teams snaps in offseason free agency departures, not to mention undergoing a coordinator change from Danny Smith to Danny Crossman. It raised some concerns about the Steelers’ outlook on special teams in 2026 and beyond. But the Steelers can lean on second-year linebacker Carson Bruener to […]

PITTSBURGH — New Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has made his expectations clear to his defensive unit. He wants to bring back the Steel Curtain style of defense that has been missing in Pittsburgh.

“PG’s been really clear. He wants it to be the Steel Curtain,” Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson said on Monday after the team’s first OTAs practice. “We have to earn that right, that’s not just something that comes with being a part of the Steelers. Those were some great, great defenses that have earned that name, so I mean the identity is still the same, we’re...

With OTAs beginning for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team is on the field as a whole for the first time in the Mike McCarthy era. While all the attention has been on the quarterback position, specifically Aaron Rodgers returning for a 22nd season, the Steelers’ offensive line has several new faces – most notably, first-round pick Max Iheanachor.

The Arizona State product was drafted as a right tackle, but offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio says that they will try him out at multiple positions on the offensive line.

“We’ll move him around,” Angelichio said to the media. “[We’ll] take some looks...

PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers is back in his black and gold No. 8 jersey, laying the groundwork for his 22nd NFL season. The four-time Associated Press NFL MVP and future Pro Football Hall of Famer can’t move around like he used to, but with a young and budding offensive line in front of him, he hopes not to have to.

Offensive tackle Troy Fautanu and guard Mason McCormick manned the right side of the front last season, but both flipped sides during Monday’s OTA practice during the portion of the session that media was permitted to watch.

“Obviously, me and...

The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled to find consistent production from their receivers last year. As a result, they went out and got a solid starting duo for themselves, including DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. But those won’t be the only names looking to make an impact, with Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson battling for snaps […]

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first round didn’t go as planned during last month’s 2026 NFL Draft, as they watched the cross-state rival Philadelphia Eagles swoop in ahead of them and pluck now-former USC receiver Makai Lemon.

Mike McCarthy’s team is hoping they guy they took at No. 21 overall instead, Max Iheanachor, can take away the sting of embarrassment from that ordeal. Early on, according to third-year offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, arrows are pointing up.

“Max is asking all the right questions,” Fautanu said after Monday’s OTA practice. “Obviously, I’m still asking questions, too, only having a year under...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a strong veteran core on the defensive side of the ball. It’s a tight-knit unit with players such as T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cameron Heyward, and Patrick Graham is the new voice leading them. To ingratiate himself with his new players and get to know them better, Graham is taking […]
