3 Steelers poised for their first All-Pro in 2026

Q: Who are the three Pittsburgh Steelers players expected to be named All-Pro in 2026?

The three players predicted to earn All-Pro honors in 2026 have not been specified in the provided text, but they are part of the Steelers' young core.

Q: What makes Joey Porter Jr. a standout cornerback for the Steelers?

Joey Porter Jr. is recognized for his ability to limit touchdowns and explosive plays, making him one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL despite some weaknesses in interceptions and run defense.

Q: Why is the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback situation a concern?

The Steelers have struggled to find a suitable replacement for Ben Roethlisberger since his retirement in 2020, which raises concerns about their overall performance and future success.

The young core of the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to improve while the team searches for an answer at quarterback. Despite not finding an adequate replacement for Ben Roethlisberger since his retirement in 2020, the Steelers roster is dotted with some elite players who don't get the recognition they deserve.

Here are the three Steelers we predict will be named All-Pro for the first time in 2026.

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

No cornerback in the NFL was better last season at limiting touchdowns and explosive plays. A lack of interceptions and less-than-stellar run defense hurts him on grading metrics like Pro Football Focus but no cornerback keeps wide receivers in check like JPJ.

Center Zach Frazier

Frazier was one of the five best centers in the NFL last season despite being just 24 years old. The only thing keeping him from being considered the top center in the AFC is the fact that Creed Humphrey plays in the same conference. This season we think Frazier passes Humphrey up and takes his spot among the elite in the league.

EDGE Nick Herbig

It might be bold to say this about Herbig but we think he takes a huge chunk of the snaps at EDGE this season. If the Steelers trade either T.J. Watt or Alex Highsmith, this one is easier but we predict a huge breakout for Herbig ahead of a huge payday.
