The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a pivotal 2025 season with a 41-year-old quarterback at the helm. Unfortunately, we still have no idea what this team will be getting out of third-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones.

Jones is the biggest wild card on this team... and the national media knows it.
Ben Solak of ESPN recently broke down the biggest X-Factor for every NFL team ahead of the 2025 season. For the Steelers, Solak wasted no time labeling Jones as the player on whom everything hinges this year.
