Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the oldest franchises in the National Football League (NFL) history. The Pittsburgh Steelers were established as the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1933 and renamed themselves as the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1940. The Steelers did not enjoy much success in the NFL before the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. However, after the merger, the Steelers became one of the most successful NFL franchises and, as of 2025, hold the record for being the team with the most Super Bowl victories (tied with the New England Patriots).

The golden period for Black and Gold came during the 1970s, when they established a dynasty with Terry Bradshaw, a.k.a. original "TB12", pulling strings from under center while the Steel Curtain shut down opposing offenses. The Steelers, who have an enormous national following, have a large fan base that calls itself the ‘Steeler Nation’. The franchise was estimated to be worth around $5.3 billion in August 2024, as reported by Forbes.

The 6-time Super Bowl champion will be seen deploying almost an entirely new offense in the 2025 season. The quarterback room in Pittsburgh will see only one familiar face from last season in Mason Rudolph, return, after the team moved on from both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in the offseason. Steelers GM Omar Khan also offloaded running back Najee Harris, wide receiver George Pickens, and offensive linemen Dan Moore Jr. and James Daniels.

While Pittsburgh took a flier on former Ohio State QB Will Howard in the 2025 NFL draft, several reports suggest that Mike Tomlin and Co. are still waiting on Aaron Rodgers' decision. While the Steelers brought in a legit No. 1 option on the outside by trading for DK Metcalf, they traded George Pickens to Dallas. The defensive side of the ball will see key starters in T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward return. The Steelers also upgraded their defense by adding Darius Slay, Derrick Harmon, and Jack Sawyer through free agency and the draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback

As of May 8, 2025, who will be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback come regular season is still up in the air. Their quarterback depth chart reads like: Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and a 6th-round pick from the 2025 NFL draft, Will Howard. From those three, Rudolph might have the best chance at winning the starting position due to his familiarity with the Steelers organization from 2018 to 2023.

After spending a year in Nashville, Rudolph returned to Steel City in 2025. However, over the next few months, everything can change based on former Buckeyes signal-caller Will Howard's performance during the rookie minicamp and training camp.
