Damien Woody: Steelers Will Be ‘Cooking’ Offensively If Young OL Takes Step Forward

All eyes entering the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 season will be on quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but the one group that is the most important to any success — or failure — for the Black and Gold resides in the trenches.

That would be with the young offensive line that is seemingly improved on paper but needs to show it in actual games.

For ESPN’s Damien Woody, who appeared on The Pat McAfee Show Wednesday, if the Steelers’ offensive line takes a step forward this season, can protect new quarterback Aaron Rodgers and consistently open running lanes, the Steelers will be “cooking” under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
