Mitchell Trubisky did enough throughout preseason to earn the starting QB job for the Steelers. He threw for 283 yards and 2 TDS, with no interceptions over the course of 3 preseason games (Seahawks, Jaguars, and Lions). The Steelers QB competition was pretty solid for the most part. Rookie Kenny Pickett showed talent in his first 3 NFL games. Pickett was 29 for 36 with 261 passing yards, 3 TDS, and 0 interceptions. Overall, it was a pretty impressive preseason for Pickett. Though, it was always going to be tough to jump right into the starting role as a rookie.…

In addition, Harris commented on the expectations he has for his overall workload in the 2022 season. On the Rich Eisen show, Harris stated… “All the guys we have at QB, they all look good. Trubisky, Rudolph, and of course Kenny, all of them look good. They’re battling it out, they’re all taking charge, they’re all embracing what it is, the competition. I think that’s what brings the best out of us in the sport is the competition. For them to bring…

The Steelers have made plenty of changes in the offseason, leading to many uncertainties for the 2022 regular season. Perhaps the biggest change will be at the QB position. Pittsburgh is moving on from future Hall-of-Famer Ben Roethlisberger, who spent 18 seasons as QB for the Steelers. So, who will be Pittsburgh’s next starting QB? The Steelers acquired free-agent QB Mitchell Trubisky in March, and signed him to a two-year deal worth $16 million. The more surprising acquisition was Pittsburgh drafting QB Kenny Pickett with their first-round pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. When the Steelers picked up Trubisky, it…

Pittsburgh wanted Bell to play the 2018 season under the franchise tag, while Bell wanted a…

LB Alex Highsmith is a player that not many people were aware of heading into the 2020 NFL Draft. Highsmith’s journey to the NFL has a much different look than most collegiate athletes. LB Alex Highsmith’s Early Struggles at Charlotte: Alex Highsmith walked on to the Charlotte 49ers mid-major program in 2015. In his first three years (2016, 2017, 2018), Highsmith was nothing spectacular at the linebacker position. In 32 games, he had registered just 6 sacks and 25.5 tackles for loss. Despite the frustrations, Highsmith stuck it out and stayed disciplined leading into his senior year. It would’ve been…

The Pittsburgh Steelers hired former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores to be a defensive assistant/linebackers coach. Flores had a pretty successful coaching gig in Miami, despite being fired after the 2021 season. Flores led Miami to their first back-to-back winning seasons in almost 20 years. It’s safe to say there was a lack of appreciation for what he was able to do in just three years with the Dolphins team. Steelers give praise to Flores: In his short time with the Steelers, defenders have gone out of their way to give Flores praise. Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith says, “He’s…

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Georgia WR George Pickens with the second round pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Pickens was injured in 2021 with the Georgia Bulldogs.

Although it was a battle for him to get back into the game after tearing his ACL,  he was eventually awarded for his efforts. Pickens got himself a ring in 2022 when Georgia defeated Alabama by a score of 33-18…
