While Pittsburgh Steelers fans might not believe in the team anymore, the players still seem to, as does the rest of the personnel involved. Art Rooney II, for example, said earlier this offseason that if he could take the same roster of 2020 into next season, he would.
They can’t, of course, because they have more than two dozen players scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency, including a number of starters, and they will likely only be able to retain one or two of the more prominent names.
This is a team that believed they had what it takes last year, however, and not just when they are in the process of starting the season 11-0.
