ESPN Reviews Steelers’ Roster, Calls CB Ahkello Witherspoon Team’s X-Factor

With teams reporting to training camp less than a month from now, ESPN is taking one last look at each roster in the leadup to the start of the season. A Wednesday article examined the strengths, weaknesses, and X-Factor of each team with a late-June set of power rankings.

The Steelers ranked 22nd overall, an uncommonly low place for them to be. But it’s been an offseason of change, starting at quarterback, in a competitive AFC North.

Author Ben Linsey called the Steelers’ pairing of TJ Watt and Cam Heyward the roster’s biggest strength and lauded both player’s ability to take over games.
