Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently in the midst of their rookie minicamp and next up will be OTAs. Before OTAs get started and with the 2026 NFL draft all wrapped up, here is our first 53-man roster projection.
Quarterback (3) - Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, Will Howard
No surprises here as we expect Aaron Rodgers to sign soon and Allar and Howard will battle it out to be his backup.
Running back (4) - Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Kaleb Johnson, Riley Nowakowski(FB)
It wasn't easy to give Kaleb Johnson a spot here and we don't see the value in Riley Nowakowski but
Wide receiver (6) - DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson, Kaden Wetjen, Ben Skowronek
As much as we love the top three on this list, the bottom three worry us as far as depth.
