Power and technique have always been the staple of Cameron Heyward’s game. Over the first 13 years of his career, that hasn’t changed. In fact, he’s only gotten stronger, which is seemingly hard to believe, yet the truth. Even as he ages, Heyward isn’t losing that strength. So, entering his age 35 season and wanting […]
Year to year, the interior of the defensive line in the AFC North gets better and better. Last season alone, Baltimore Ravens’ defensive tackle Justin Madubuike had a breakout season, leading to a huge contract extension with the Ravens, while Steelers’ rookie Keeanu Benton put himself on the map as potentially the next big-name Steelers’ […]
This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers completely overhauled their quarterback room, bringing in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to compete for the starting job. While Wilson has the inside track to starting come Week One, that isn’t guaranteed as training camp and preseason could change that. Both Wilson and Fields started for their respective teams last […]
The biggest issue on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster on paper is their wide receiver room. The team traded Diontae Johnson this offseason and didn’t add another legitimate No. 2 receiver. Instead, the Steelers opted for more project-type players like Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins and Scotty Miller, although the team did draft Michigan WR Roman Wilson […]
Though Kevin Colbert was always willing to lend an ear to Omar Khan, when he stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers general manager in May 2022, he wanted a clean break. To remove himself from the football side of the team and allow Khan to be his own man. A difficult task after running the […]
Since Ben Roethlisberger rode off into the sunset, the Steelers have lacked that “wow” factor on offense. Their strategy of slowing the game down and winning with death by a million cuts rendered their offense boring, predictable and lazy. While some of that can be attributed to former offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Kenny Pickett and […]
Unless you ask someone in the media or the Baltimore fan base, the signing of second-team All-Pro inside linebacker Patrick Queen by the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency was a home run. Pittsburgh plugged a major hole and added a high-end talent in the process, giving Pittsburgh its best inside linebacker since the days of […]
I don’t want to sweep under the rug the baggage CB Cam Sutton brings. Once facing felony domestic battery charges (now dropped and misdemeanors), ostensibly on the run from police, warrants for his arrest, getting released by the Detroit Lions. There’s still genuine uncertainty over if and how much he’ll be able to play this […]
The next critical point in the offseason schedule for any malcontented players to make a statement as part of their contract negotiations is the mandatory minicamp. Several teams began their minicamps this week and several others, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be starting next week. One other team around the NFL to monitor next week […]
Don’t tell Cam Heyward he’s old. Football might be a young man’s game but Heyward plans on going 12 rounds with Father Time. Practicing with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time this spring, after previously skipping voluntary OTAs in search of a new contract, Heyward also spoke with the media for the first time […]Ryan Clark had the uniform. He had the starting spot. He had the contract. But it wasn’t until he laid out for one specific hit that he trul...
