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.
No surprises here as we expect Aaron Rodgers to sign soon and Allar and Howard will battle it out to be his backup.
It wasn't easy to give Kaleb Johnson a spot here and we don't see the value in Riley Nowakowski but
As much as we love the top three on this list, the bottom three worry us as far as depth.
The Steelers' third tight end spot is wide open, but for now, we are giving Metayer the nod.
The start of Jones' season is in jeopardy but we love this group regardless.
A great young group led by Frazier and McCormick.
There's a ton of pressure on this group, especially Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon to take that next step.
All the usual suspects here, they just need to play much better.
Another group with plenty of talent that just need to play better.
This group is great, but it will take a hit if Jaylen Ramsey has to move back to safety.
We left this group at three because of Ramsey but we like Sebastian Castro if there's room for him.
No changes here.
