‘He Wants It To Be The Steel Curtain’: Payton Wilson On DC Patrick Graham’s Expectations For Pittsburgh’s Defense

Defense has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ calling card for most of their history. They’ve dominated on that side of the ball multiple times throughout the years, starting with their dynasty in the 1970s. That unit earned the “Steel Curtain” nickname, helping the team win four Super Bowls in that decade. However, the Steelers’ defense disappointed […]

‘Up In The Air:’ Troy Fautanu Still Not Sure If He’ll Play Right Or Left Tackle

With the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting OT Max Iheanachor in the first round, questions about Troy Fautanu’s position were raised immediately.

Steelers QB Will Howard surpasses Mason Rudolph to begin OTAs

Steelers QB Will Howard surpasses Mason Rudolph to begin OTAs

All eyes are on the quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not just because Aaron Rodgers returned for his 22nd NFL season, but because the team now has four quarterbacks on its roster, meaning one will be the odd man out. With how Pittsburgh divided the reps on the first day of OTAs, it looks like Mason Rudolph will be drawing the short straw.

Per Nick Farabaugh, the Steelers gave the second-team reps to Will Howard while Rudolph took QB3 reps and rookie Drew Allar went last at QB4. Obviously, the Steelers won’t be letting Allar go after selecting him...

Steelers make big changes on offensive line to begin OTAs

The Pittsburgh Steelers began their first week of OTAs on Monday, and it’s already clear to see what changes they are exploring on offense. Specifically, their first-team offensive line looks much different than it did when the 2025 season ended.

The Steelers didn’t bring back long-time guard Isaac Seumalo, which led to the veteran signing with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency. They also drafted Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and Iowa offensive lineman Gennings Dunker in the third round with the intention of moving him to guard.
