2022 Steelers Depth Chart Analysis: Safety

By Jeremy Hritz The Steelers just made headlines when they inked Minkah Fitzpatrick to a deal that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL, and it was worth it.

2022 Steelers Depth Chart Analysis: Inside Linebacker

By Jeremy Hritz For as bad of a season it was for the defensive line in 2021, it was equally as bad for the inside linebacker unit.

By Jeremy Hritz If there was one position that wore the crown of the absolute worst on the team in 2021, it was the offensive line.

Steelers 2022 Depth Chart Analysis: Wide Receiver

By Jeremy Hritz 2022 will be a unique year, as for the first time in 18 years, the Steelers will take the field without Ben Roethlisberger as their starting quarterback.
