Investment In Special Teams Shows Steelers Commitment To Winning

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a busy offseason, and their moves to upgrade their quarterback room with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and signing of Patrick Queen have rightfully gotten most of the attention. But the Steelers have been diligent in upgrading their special teams, signing punter Cameron Johnston, return specialist Cordarrelle Patterson and bringing back Pro Bowl special teamer Miles Killebrew.

For too long, the Steelers have been passive about special teams. After two seasons of subpar play out of punter Pressley Harvin III, the Steelers brought in competition last season by claiming Braden Mann off waivers from the Jets, but Harvin won the punting competition in training camp and won the job.
