Who Is Steelers’ Biggest Breakout Candidate For 2025?

Who is the Steelers’ biggest breakout candidate for 2025?

If one Steelers player is going to be their breakout candidate in 2025, who will it most likely be? Unfortunately, several young players haven’t quite broken through yet, so there are some options. Of course, a breakthrough season is subjective—can an offensive lineman have one, for example?

It’s possible for a rookie to be a breakout star, too, but do the Steelers have any strong candidates? For example, it might be asking too much to expect Derrick Harmon to post a 10-sack season. Arguably, the rookie with the best chance would be RB Kaleb Johnson, but he still has to share reps with Jaylen Warren.
