The Pittsburgh Steelers have been fortunate enough to have some incredible drafts over the last few decades. In fact, their draft class in 1974 is almost universally considered the best of all-time. That group won four Super Bowls in six years and four of them were inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame (five if you included undrafted free agent, Donnie Shell). However, like all teams, the Steelers have also had some misses. Artie Burns and Jarvis Jones immediately come to mind. But at least the team can say they tried. Not all picks will pan out, look at Devin…

For over two decades, Kevin Colbert oversaw roster construction of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Known for being one of the better drafting teams in the league, Colbert drafted players like Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and T.J. Watt to name a few. But some of Pittsburgh’s later drafts and roster decisions have garnered criticism as of late, with Colbert manning the ship as recently as 20 months ago. Well, some believe that was due to the rigidity of his process, something which just came under fire thanks to Colbert’s recent media hit: “I’m aged beyond the analytical world,…

Following Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt losing out on DPOY, there were plenty of people explaining why he was unworthy of the award despite dominating virtually every statistical category over winner Myles Garrett. One of those critics was Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons, who had a take on Watt that made him look foolish. Well, in a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, T.J.’s brother J.J. was asked about Parsons’ criticism, and all he could do was laugh: “I think the Internet handled that properly,” Watt said. “I think it was handled appropriately. That’s what we’re…

One of the lesser talked about, yet highly touted players in the 2024 free agent class is Ravens DT Justin Madubuike. His name may not have the notoriety that pending free agents like Chris Jones and Kirk Cousins do, but his talents will be coveted across the league in a few weeks when free agency opens. Well, one of the teams that know him best is Pittsburgh, who could use Madubuike as the next Cam Heyward in their scheme: There is perhaps no player entering free agency who has earned more money than Madabuike. A former third-round pick, his play…

The Pittsburgh Steelers got to work looking for ways to improve the team from 2023 as soon as the season ended. They parted ways with some coaches, released some players, and made a few new hires. Among those new hires was Wide Receivers Coach Zach Azzanni. Azzanni has been with three other NFL teams – the Chicago Bears, the Denver Broncos, and most recently, the New York Jets. He comes with a reputation for passion and an expectation of excellence. According to one former Steelers player, he might have been almost hand-picked with one player in mind. Before coaching in…

The Pittsburgh Steelers, a team with a storied history and passionate fan base, found themselves grappling with a dilemma during the 2023 NFL season. At the heart of this predicament was Mason Cole, the team’s incumbent center whose performance left much to be desired. As Steelers faithful watched in dismay, Cole’s struggles with snapping the football properly became increasingly apparent. From errant rolls along the ground, to snaps that proved challenging for quarterbacks to handle, Cole’s difficulties became a cause for concern among fans. Cole’s journey to Pittsburgh began with a notable three-year contract signing on March 17, 2022. Prior…

The Seattle Seahawks are hiring former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Jackson was let go by Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and they hired Zach Azzanni as his replacement. But now, he will work under Mike Macdonald in Seattle. He was the first assistant to be let go following the hire of new offensive Arthur Smith, but the team quickly moved to fill his spot and build out the new staff under Smith. Jackson, 44, spent two seasons with the Carolina Panthers and was the receivers coach for the Tennessee Titans in…

The Pittsburgh Steelers were busy on Monday, as they cut Mitch Trubisky, Chukwuma Okorafor, and Pressley Harvin III to clear some salary cap space before the new league year begins on March 13th. It was unusual to see a team so active less than 24 hours after the 2023 season ended with Super Bowl LVIII, but the Steelers decided to rip the Band-Aid off and start the offseason running. Steelers General Manager Omar Khan will surely make a few more moves this spring to clear more salary cap space and position the team to bring in some free agents to…

The Steelers have an important offseason ahead after not winning a playoff game for the seventh year in a row. ESPN’s Louis Riddick believes Pittsburgh should make a splash move for a player who would be a perfect fit. “I like [Justin Fields] a lot. Think of the effect that Arthur Smith had on Ryan Tannehill,” Riddick said on “Get Up.” “The play-action game with Justin under center on first and second down with the dynamic duo that they have at the running back position with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, it is perfect. It’s absolutely perfect.” Fields is still…

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerbacks Jason Simmons and William Gay have been hired to the new coaching staff of the Washington Commanders, the team announced on Thursday. The new staff is being put together by new head coach Dan Quinn, who will replace Ron Rivera in Washington after spending the last three seasons as the defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. The was previously the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons from 2015-20. Joe Whitt Jr. will come along with Quinn from the Cowboys to the Commanders to be the defensive coordinator. He had been the secondary coach and pass-game coordinator…
