Minkah Fitzpatrick has been the Steelers top safety ever since he joined the team in 2019. Jalen Ramsey has been an All-Pro caliber starting cornerback so we could see a lot of three-corner packages with Joey Porter Jr and Darius Slay

The Steelers are now better on offense with the addition of Jonnu Smith, and it’s arguable they’re better on defense with the swap of Minkah Fitzpatrick for Jalen Ramsey. With improvements on both sides of the football, where do the Steelers rank in the AFC North and the rest of the conference.

Even though the Steelers don’t have a standout WR2, Aaron Rodgers can elevate the play of guys like Calvin Austin, Robert Woods, and Pat Freiermuth. Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson can be a better dual running back tandem than last year’s.

There are a lot of what ifs for the o-line, but in 2025 it has the potential to have its best season since the Pouncey era. ESPN’s Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder set out to create a 53-man roster to best represent the first 25 years of this century.

From the defensive line to the outside and inside linebackers, every starter and most of the backups have the capability of being major contributors to the Steelers defensive front.

Ben Roethlisberger is arguably the best Steeler of the 21st century, and he was followed up by Russell Wilson for only one season, and now Aaron Rodgers comes to town. How do all three legendary QBs line up against each other.

Aaron Rodgers not only officially signed with Pittsburgh, but he has been an active member at mandatory minicamp, and it already seems like his impact is being made.

TJ Watt did not report to mandatory minicamp but it shouldn’t cause too much of a worry when considering his next contract. With Aaron Rodgers now officially on the team, it’s time to revise the Steelers win/loss predictions for the 2025 season.

Joey Porter Jr is coming off something of a sophomore slump and Darius Slay is getting up there with age. Both starters need to prove they can handle going up against elite passing offenses this year.

Unfortunately, Donald Parham is going to miss all this upcoming season, so should that make it a no-brainer to sign Jonnu Smith. Minkah Fitzpatrick has had two back-to-back seasons of lackluster play, and it is of the highest importance he returns to first team all pro quality.

If Aaron Rodgers ends up not playing for the Steelers in 2025, would you be okay with the team going out there with the guys currently on the roster.

Mason Rudolph rescued the team at the end of 2023, and despite being a sixth-round pick Will Howard seems to have a lot of fans already. Could the two of them be enough for the Steelers to actually be competitive in 2025, and would it even be worth it to strive for the playoffs this year.

Reports of TE Jonnu Smith and WR Gabe Davis coming to Pittsburgh are noticeable but how much help would those two provide given the hole of a true WR2 still missing on the roster. Eric Edholm ranks the 12 teams who have never won a Super Bowl who is most likely to win their first Lombardi this season.

Is it a big deal, little deal, or no deal that both Aaron Rodgers (granted he’s not a member of the team yet) and TJ Watt are not at Steelers OTAs this week.

The Steelers have four guys on the O-Line entering either their second or third season plus veteran Isaac Seumalo, so does this group have the potential to be the best the Steelers have had since the peak of the Pouncey/DeCasetro era.
