3 Steelers Who Have The Most To PROVE This Offseason...

Three players who need to show up and perform well before the 2025 Season

Transcript

00:00The Pittsburgh Steelers might be on summer break but training camp in La Trobe will be here before

00:04you know it. So what better time than now to take a current stock of the team and name the players

00:09that have the most ground to make up heading into the 2025 season. When Aaron Rodgers signed it

00:18became very clear that he would be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback. So immediately that

00:24put all of Mason Rudolph Skyler Thompson and Will Howard on the men. They are going to be riding

00:30the pine for the 2025 season barring a huge injury to Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin said as much there

00:36is no quarterback competition in Pittsburgh and I firmly believe that if Aaron Rodgers didn't sign

00:42there would have been and it would have been between Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. So for both of those

00:47guys it's obviously not the best case scenario. They are going to support Aaron Rodgers they're

00:52going to be great backups they're going to be there in case their name gets called but it's very clear

00:57that he is a Steelers starting quarterback for the 2025 season. After that we have to take a long hard

01:03look at Roman Wilson. Obviously there was a ton of hype coming into his rookie year even a few weeks ago

01:10going into OTAs and Roman Wilson has done everything right. He's come back bigger stronger faster he's

01:17talked about how much he placed an emphasis on being more durable and ready for the 2025 season but the

01:24truth is when the wide receiver coach comes out and not only names Calvin Austin III emphatically the

01:31team's wide receiver number two but then refers to the rest of the group as a by committee approach

01:37with a lot of nice little pieces in there that tells you a lot about Roman Wilson. Forget the fact

01:42that they signed Robert Woods. Forget the fact that they're still shopping around for another

01:46playmaker. The Steelers are telling you that they will need to see it before they believe it with

01:51Roman Wilson and that gets us to Jalen Warren. Obviously Jalen Warren right now is still the Steelers

01:58starting running back. Come the regular season I still expect him to be the Steelers starting running

02:02back but all the talk all the hype in the running back room is around Caleb Johnson. I understand that

02:07he's a rookie but when you add together all the facts that we've gotten where you hear Arthur Smith

02:13calling him one of the most instinctive runners that he's ever been around you hear about how perfect

02:18of a scheme fit he would be you see him in Steelers uniform looking like a clear-cut Steelers running back

02:25with his size his leverage his foot quickness and his smoothness and you just see a Steelers starter

02:32in the near future. So he has clearly put Jalen Warren on notice and those are your three players

02:39and groups of players who have the most ground to make up heading in to training camp in Latrobe.
