The Pittsburgh Steelers had many new players make their debuts last Sunday against the New York Jets to start the 2025 NFL season. QB Aaron Rodgers played his first game for the organization. TE Jonnu Smith did the same, scoring his first touchdown with the team. Big-time free agent acquisition WR DK Metcalf joined the list of Steelers debuting, as well.
While Metcalf did not catch a touchdown like Smith or impress like Rodgers did, he still played a crucial role in the 34-32 win. Rodgers targeted him seven times, and Metcalf had four catches for 83 yards.
