Steelers 53-man roster projection leans on veterans over youth

The Pittsburgh Steelers draw closer to making their final cuts down to a 53-man roster. The August 26 deadline for those cuts will be here before we know it, and the Steelers’ front office will have some difficult decisions to make leading up to it.

For this 53-man roster prediction, I leaned on veteran leadership to stick with the roster to support the young pieces in the lineup. After all, the Steelers made a point to add players with plenty of league experience this offseason, both to make an instant impact and to bring along a new generation of Steelers who haven’t enjoyed much postseason success.
