Steelers' best position entering the 2025 is already crystal clear

Omar Khan didn't sit on his hands during the 2025 offseason; the Pittsburgh Steelers' general manager did everything in his power to improve the strength of the roster. On paper, the Steelers look like a potential playoff contender. Their cornerback room looks stronger than it has in a long time, while their interior defensive line was bolstered with rookies Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black.

But the best positional group on the team is already glaringly obvious—it's the edge defender room.

The Steelers only ever keep four edge rushers (or outside linebackers) on their final roster, whereas most teams keep five or even six edge defenders.
