Having played more than 2,000 career snaps at West Virginia University, new Pittsburgh Steelers center Zach Frazier is bringing quite a bit of experience to the NFL level. According to his offensive line coach at West Virginia in Matt Moore, he’s bringing quite a bit of strength to the NFL as well. As a former […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have already earned praise for their 2024 NFL Draft haul from analysts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Dane Brugler, ranking the team’s draft toward the top of the NFL. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show today, NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah talked about how much he loved the Steelers’ draft, and […]
Being a quarterback in the NFL is not easy in any way, with constant media scrutiny and blame following any level of failure. It can be even worse if the quarterback’s supporting cast is lackluster, with opportunities for success being few and far between. The Steelers seem to have learned this lesson after failing to […]
With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-round pick at No. 98 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, they selected NC State LB Payton Wilson. It has a similar feel to last year’s fourth overall selection with TE Darnell Washington falling well below where he was projected to go, mostly due to medical concerns. Both players had no […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted five offensive linemen over the past two seasons, including two first-round picks, coinciding with the hiring of Andy Weidl, a former offensive lineman, as assistant general manager. Of course, Weidl is far from the only change, in the front office or on the field, during that time. That doesn’t stop […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t address the WR position until their third pick at No. 84 in the third round of the draft, but they landed a player in Michigan WR Roman Wilson that many thought would be off the board by then. He stood out at the Senior Bowl, and then backed it up with […]
Player: T Troy Fautanu Stock Value: Purchased Reasoning: Used their first-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft on T Troy Fautanu. Projected to go earlier, the Steelers reportedly had him ranked as their second-best tackle in the class behind Joe Alt. Fautanu stands a very good chance of being a Day One starter. Arguably the […]
The 2024 NFL Draft is upon us, and with it, the promise of a new generation of stars ready to take the league by storm. While individual talents are important, history shows us that well-coordinated duos can truly transform a franchise. This year's draft offers a wealth of potential pairings that could become the heart and soul of their respective teams for years to come. Here are 10 exciting new duos we can't wait to see develop:
Caleb Williams (QB) & Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR) - Carolina Panthers: The Panthers land a franchise QB in Williams, whose electrifying playmaking complements the polished route-running of Harrison Jr., a potential Julio Jones successor.
Tyrese Etienne (RB) & Dallas Turner (EDGE) - Jacksonville Jaguars: Etienne injects explosiveness into the Jags' backfield, while Turner brings a relentless pass rush opposite Josh Allen. Look for this duo to terrorize AFC South offenses.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR) & Adisa Isaac (EDGE) - Pittsburgh Steelers: Big Ben's successor gets a reliable target in Smith-Njigba, while Isaac adds much-needed pressure off the edge to a Steelers defense desperate for a spark.
Kayshon Boutte (WR) & Chop Robinson (EDGE) - Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts gets a big-bodied weapon in Boutte, while Robinson steps in as a complementary pass rusher to the dominant Brandon Graham. This duo could turn the Eagles into contenders.
Drake Maye (QB) & Quinyon Mitchell (S) - Miami Dolphins: Maye's dual-threat ability adds a new dimension to the Dolphins' offense, while Mitchell brings elite ball-hawking skills to a secondary already on the rise.
Bryce Young (QB) & Jalen Catalon (S) - Atlanta Falcons: Young's pinpoint accuracy is a perfect fit for Atlanta's talented receiving corps, while Catalon instantly upgrades a Falcons secondary in need of a leader.
Jordan Addison (WR) & Laiatu Latu (EDGE) - Detroit Lions: Goff gets a much-needed weapon in Addison, while Latu provides a relentless pass rush alongside Aidan Hutchinson. This duo could turn the Lions into a surprise playoff team.
Zach Charbonnet (RB) & Mekhi Wingo (CB) - New York Giants: Saquon Barkley gets a backfield partner in Charbonnet, while Wingo bolsters a secondary that struggled last season. This duo could make the Giants a force in the NFC East.
Dontay Demarcus (OT) & Jadan Hicks (LB) - Las Vegas Raiders: Demarcus shores up the Raiders' offensive line, protecting Derek Carr, while Hicks brings sideline-to-sideline speed to a linebacker corps lacking athleticism.
Jayden Daniels (QB) & Bryan Bresee (DT) - Chicago Bears: Fields gets a mobile backup in Daniels, while Bresee anchors a young Bears' defensive line. This duo could be key pieces in the Bears' long-term rebuild.
These are just a few of the exciting new duos we'll see emerge from the 2024 NFL Draft. Their success will depend on development, coaching, and a bit of luck. But one thing's for sure: these pairings have the potential to light up the league for years to come.
