After getting physically dominated time and time again late in 2024 in the midst of the five-game losing streak that ended a once-promising season in ugly fashion, the Pittsburgh Steelers had one clear goal in mind this offseason: add physicality.
In a whirlwind offseason that saw a number of new faces and big names across the NFL landscape join the organization, the Steelers seemingly accomplished that.
Players like wide receiver DK Metcalf, tight end Jonnu Smith, cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay and Brandin Echols, and even rookie defensive linemen Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black have helped achieve that goal.
