Steelers' unproven star takes first big step in preseason debut

The Pittsburgh Steelers are under the microscope—and they know it.

After an aggressive offseason that saw Omar Khan bring in high-profile talent like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, and DK Metcalf, expectations are sky-high in the Steel City. That “all-in” energy is palpable. But not every roster decision was about headline-grabbing additions.

In fact, one of the boldest moves was what the team chose not to do.

After parting ways with George Pickens, many expected the Steelers to chase another proven wide receiver. But Khan and the front office made a calculated, championship-level decision—they placed trust in the guys already in the room.
