Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan broke down the 2024 NFL Draft Class in their annual-pre draft press conference on Monday from UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side. Khan and Tomlin broke down the 2024 NFL Draft class, the Steelers’ needs and how the strengths and weaknesses of the draft class might align with the team’s needs. “I’m also excited about our draft because of just the quality work that we’ve been able to get done in free agency,” Tomlin said. “You know, it’s two means by which we develop our football team…

After years of conservative building and minimal moves, the Pittsburgh Steelers were uncharacteristically aggressive this offseason. The franchise signed former Pro Bowler and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year, $1.21 million contract, traded for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, dealt former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, released Mitch Trubisky, and let Mason Rudolph walk in free agency. And that was just the quarterback position. The Steelers also traded wideout Diontae Johnson and signed high-level free agent linebacker Patrick Queen — a Second Team All-Pro selection in 2o23. After frequent playoff frustration in recent seasons, Pittsburgh is shifting to win-now…

On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin met with the media for the team’s annual pre-draft press conference. Khan and Tomlin addressed multiple points of interests with reporters as the team heads into the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday. One of those topics was the injury update, or lack thereof, on linebacker Cole Holcomb. “I can tell you Cole [Holcomb’s] working extremely hard to get back,” Khan said to reporters. “I don’t really have much to add on the timeline. We’ve discussed this, it was a major injury but he is working hard…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have experienced their fair share of highs and lows, especially when it comes to player drama, often centered around the wide receiver position. However, there are hopes that this tumultuous chapter is now firmly behind them. The decision to trade away star wide receiver Diontae Johnson was reportedly motivated by a desire to alleviate the headaches he had caused within the organization. This move underscores the Steelers’ continued belief in their young wide receiver George Pickens, despite the challenges he faced during the 2023 season. While Pickens showcased his talent on the field, he also grappled with…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have heavily been connected to trade rumors for Brandon Aiyuk. Just a week ago, Aiyuk’s agent Ryan Williams of Athletes First shut down a report that his client had requested a trade from the 49ers. Thursday, he did it again, denying a report by AllSteelers that a Steelers team source “would be surprised” if a trade between the teams for Aiyuk didn’t happen at some point this offseason. “Another “report” that couldn’t be more incorrect,” Willams wrote on X. “Fictional “journalism” should really stop.” But the Steelers are still connected to him despite that, and NFL insider…

Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin gathered the media for their annual pre-draft press conference at the Pittsburgh Steelers practice facility on Monday. The Steelers’ top decision-making duo exchanged questions and answered with the Pittsburgh media for 26 minutes. They didn’t say much. What they did say — take with a grain of salt. That’s par for the course when you’re dealing with NFL executives these days, and Khan seems to keep things even closer to the vest than average. In his offseason availabilities, he’s been loathe to discuss the Steelers needs, or the draft class in anything approaching specifics. Even…

Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver, George Pickens is still in need of a formidable presence to play opposite of him in the upcoming 2024 regular season. This has become a huge area of need for the franchise since the franchise traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason. The organization is poised to make several moves in the coming weeks, including the clear possibility of multiple pass-catchers being selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Rumors have swirled about General Manager Omar Khan making a significant move to trade for top-end talent, such as the San Francisco 49ers’ star-in-the-making,…

Many “experts” have said the Steelers should consider trading down in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft with several needs to address. However, general manager Omar Khan hinted Pittsburgh is not interested in doing so on Monday. “In my opinion, you never trade away from a good player,” Khan said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Anywhere between four to six quarterbacks are projected to be taken by the time the Steelers make their first selection. As a result, several players who would normally be off the board will likely be there for the taking. So, it’s safe to…

A busy offseason might allow some flexibility for the Pittsburgh Steelers in this week’s NFL draft. Head coach Mike Tomlin said as much in Monday’s pre-draft news conference, which indicates that Pittsburgh could have the luxury of drafting the best player available come Round 1 on Thursday night. “We’ve been very active in free agency and that makes you really comfortable as we lean in on draft weekend,” Tomlin said. “So that we’ve addressed a lot of needs and don’t feel overly thirsty in any particular area. I just think that’s a good feel going into the weekend.” The Steelers…

Pep Guardiola joked that he would be putting his exhausted players in a fridge after dragging themselves into another FA Cup final. But the concerning sight of John Stones gasping for air midway through the first half, before being substituted at the interval, was no laughing matter. Instead it underlined why Guardiola and his players were so angry with the scheduling. England star Stones looked deeply uncomfortable after a sprint to chase down Nicolas Jackson and it was no surprise to see Ruben Dias replace him for the second period. For long spells at Wembley City looked shattered, the physical…
