With 12 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the opportunity to be somewhat aggressive under GM Omar Khan and move up for a top talent in the draft.

Schefter: Steelers ‘Open To Moving Back’ In First Round. Omar Khan has long been clear about his draft philosophy: trading back is only an option if it doesn’t cost him a player he covets. He executed that approach in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, turning a move down into a clear win with Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig. Now, according to […]

Browns Downplay Shedeur Sanders Taking First-Team Reps Amid QB Competition: ‘It’ll Change Each Day’. The Browns have a new coaching staff, one that is putting quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, and Dillon Gabriel through the paces. Like the Steelers, they are currently involved in voluntary veteran minicamp. Just days into on-field work, what is the takeaway so far, the “competition” inevitably subject to microanalysis? Browns HC Todd Monken conceded […]

‘Take in the moments or they just pass you by‘: Aden Durde, the first British coach to win a Super Bowl.
The Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator is preparing for the NFL draft later this week. On a recent trip home to London, he reflected on his extraordinary journey
A middle-aged man pulls down his baseball cap, walks across Leicester Square and heads to Greggs for lunch before taking the Piccadilly Line home to Southgate. It’s only two months since he won the Super Bowl but none of the thousands of tourists milling around central London recognise him. Aden Durde should be a British celebrity.
Olympians often say there is a massive comedown after they win gold medals. Some think: ‘Now what?’ How have you felt after winning the Super Bowl? “I wouldn’t say it’s a comedown, but there were moments after you win it, like at the parade, I felt numb. The little letdown is, while you might get another chance to create it, you’re not going to do it again with that group of people. You realise that this special thing that we had is over. I thought that on the bus going back to the hotel from the game.”

Analyst Thinks ‘There’s A Chance’ Makai Lemon Falls To Steelers In Round One. Before and after the addition of Michael Pittman Jr., the wide receiver position is a spot that’s made a lot of sense for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. Yet, at the 21st pick, it’s long been thought they might be too far down the board to land one of the top receivers like […]

‘Skill Set Is Top-Notch:’ DK Metcalf Earns High Praise From Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy is installing his new offense in Pittsburgh, and he’s got some weapons to work with. Including DK Metcalf, who’s looking for a better second season with the Steelers after he, along with the rest of the offense, had some struggles in 2025. While it’s still early, McCarthy loves what he has in Metcalf. […]

‘Exactly How You’re Supposed To Look:’ McCarthy ‘Very Impressed’ With Steelers DL. Defense has been a focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers for most of their history. They’ve had several legendary defenses, including some that have led them to championships. Unfortunately, that unit didn’t meet the team’s standard last year. It finished the season ranked 26th in the league, and there were a few shaky performances against the […]

Beat Writer Pooh-Poohs Will Howard’s ‘QB1’ Status For Veteran Minicamp: ‘Don’t Think It’s A Big Deal’. The Steelers began voluntary minicamp yesterday, and Will Howard was their “QB1”. This means nothing, according to Mark Kaboly. The most ardent media defender of Mason Rudolph, he also isn’t really wrong about this. Given his lack of experience, there is an obvious logic to maximizing his reps now. Even with, or perhaps especially because […]
