Interception in the Super Bowl. There’s no bigger play a defensive back could make. Just ask Cooper DeJean, who will go down in history for his now-iconic pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX, propelling the Philadelphia Eagles to a world championship. Ryan Clark shared the same vision. Instead, he […]from Steelers Depot https://ift.tt/pIFxqbS
In a little more than three weeks from today the 2025 NFL year will begin. Additionally, with the Pittsburgh Steelers releasing OLB Preston Smith last week, this Thursday is a perfect time to update the team’s salary cap situation. For starters, Smith’s release this offseason was expected as he was scheduled to carry a 2025 […]
So far, all the promised “changes” Mike Tomlin made at his final press conference have amounted to bringing back a secondary coach on-staff in 2022 and 2023 and hiring a linebackers coach native to the area who played and coached at Pitt. Hardly needle-moving moves to change the course of the franchise. While the roster […]
Things are going from bad to worse this offseason for the Baltimore Ravens. Already embroiled in the Justin Tucker scandal, the Ravens find themselves dealing with another off-the-field issue, this time with an arrest of guard Ben Cleveland. Cleveland was arrested on a DUI charge on Feb. 12, according to Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office documents […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the few NFL organizations with a winning philosophy that’s lasted for decades. A concise summary of that philosophy: pound the run, pressure the quarterback, and win in the trenches. The Steelers churn out star linebackers and defensive linemen, providing a strong foundation for a defense that’s often one of […]
While the Pittsburgh Steelers selected OT Troy Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, his season was limited to just one game due to injuries. The Steelers had already signed QB Russell Wilson and traded for QB Justin Fields, so the position wasn’t a need heading into the draft, but after a […]
For years, Mike Tomlin has been one of the best coaches in the NFL. He’s been a consistent winner, never having a losing season. However, that might not be good enough anymore. While Tomlin’s Steelers haven’t hit rock bottom, they’ve been brutal in the postseason recently. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2016, a […]
With NFL free agency only weeks away, much of the discussion surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers is rightfully about team’s 2025 quarterback. However, they have a long list of free agents beyond Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. Quarterbacks aside, the number one player the team can’t let walk out the door is LB Elandon Roberts. It […]
For former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Derwin Gray, the best teaches were his teammates. Not his coaches. Under former offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett, Gray said his best lessons of how to become an NFL player came from Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro, and others instead. In an interview that took place last year, Gray made […]
Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a lot of help. There are plenty of uncertainties, but three positions the team have plenty of questions surrounding are quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive line. In a three round mock draft from Ian Valentino of The 33rd Team, he has the Steelers hitting all those […]
