The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is full of big-name players. Players like DT Cam Heyward, OLB T.J. Watt, CB Joey Porter Jr., and LB Patrick Queen. And there are even newer faces like CB Darius Slay and DB Jalen Ramsey. And every single one of them will play a big role in the success or failure of the Steelers in 2025.
But they aren’t the only ones. Here are three Steelers’ defensive players who I think will be X factors this upcoming season.
CB Beanie Bishop Jr.
Bishop went from an undrafted free agent to starting six games and appearing in all 17 for the Steelers in 2024.
