2013 Pittsburgh Steelers: 4 Players Poised for Breakout Seasons
If the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t see breakout performances from several players in 2013, they’ll miss the playoffs for consecutive seasons for the first time since 2000.
Four Steelers look to be on the verge of breakout seasons in 2013. If all of them can make that leap, the Steelers might once again play well into January.

It might not sound right to say that...
Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 Summer Reading List
It’s no-more-pencils-no-more-books time for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Like millions of kids across America, the Steelers’ summer vacation has begun. Their offseason work ended Thursday with the final day of mandatory minicamp. No more practices until training camp begins July 26 at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.
Just because the Steelers have six weeks off doesn’t mean...
Nick Williams Looks To Become The Next Brett Keisel For The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers love to take defensive ends later in the draft and develop them into starters in their 3-4 defense. The team drafted Aaron Smith in the fourth round of the 1999 draft and then Brett Keisel in the seventh round of the 2002 draft. Both turned into two of the better 3-4 defensive ends in the league with their ability to be dominant against the run and still apply...
5 Worst Multiple-Pick Rounds in Pittsburgh Steelers Drafts Since 2000
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had multiple picks in 21 rounds of the NFL draft since 2000, when Kevin Colbert became director of football operations.
Picking multiple players in a single round is almost like having a mini-draft. Sometimes, however, these multiple-pick rounds turn into multiple disappointments.
In assessing the Steelers’ five worst multiple-pick draft rounds of the...
Will Jarvis Jones’ Rookie Season Resemble Lawrence Timmons’ or LaMarr Woodley’s’?
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected a linebacker, Jarvis Jones, in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft for the first time in six years. In the 2007 draft, the Steelers took Lawrence Timmons in the first round and LaMarr Woodley in the second round. Currently, both Woodley and Timmons are entrenched as starters for the Steelers and both are signed to long term contracts. Though Woodley...
Kelvin Beachum’s Rise Further Proves You Must Have Faith In Steelers’ Scouting Department
Kelvin Beachum was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final selection of the 2012 NFL Draft with the 248th overall pick. Beachum was the last of four players the team took in the seventh round with CB Terrence Frederick, WR Toney Clemons and TE David Paulson being the other three. After the draft concluded, I gave the Steelers an A+ for their picks in an article you can see here. One player...
The Steelers No Longer Have Max Starks As A Security Blanket
After tearing his ACL in the loss to the Denver Broncos in the 2011 playoffs, Max Starks came back and played every snap for the Steelers at left tackle in 2012. Even though Starks has been a more than solid tackle for the Steelers in his career, the team decided that it would move on with Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams at the tackle positions. The Steelers made an attempt to bring...
Training Camp Battle: Adrian Robinson Vs. Chris Carter
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set at the starting outside linebacker positions with LaMarr Woodley and Jason Worilds. Add the fact that the team just drafted Jarvis Jones in the first round as an instant pass rusher and eventual starter and that really only leaves one roster spot left at the position. The Steelers did keep five outside linebackers on the roster last season in Woodley...

Top 5 Multiple-Pick Rounds in Pittsburgh Steelers Drafts Since 2000 (Part 1 of 2)
If the 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers draft was made into a movie, the dramatic climax would come in the fourth round.
The Steelers traded next year’s third-round pick for the Browns’ fourth-round pick, No. 111, to draft flashy safety Shamarko Thomas. Then, four picks later, the Steelers dropped some jaws by drafting Landry Jones.
Jones is the first quarterback the Steelers have drafted...
Training Camp Battle: Who Will Be Returning Kicks For The Pittsburgh Steelers?
The Chris Rainey experiment only lasted one disappointing season for the Steelers because of off the field issues the team just didn’t want to deal with anymore. Not that I disagree with the decision to waive Rainey, however, it’s worth noting that he was a very good kick returner for the Steelers in 2012. In fact, Rainey finished his rookie year tied for seventh in kick return...
Steelers Safety Ryan Clark Makes a Bad Play in May
Once again, incendiary comments from a Steelers safety are written on a whiteboard somewhere in the recesses of Gillette Stadium.
Just what the Steelers needed.
Thank you, Ryan Clark.
Clark said this week on ESPN’s “NFL Live” that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will “duck” and “flinch” even when pressure isn’t there and that he “sees ghosts.” He said...
If Steelers’ 2013 Draft Is Any Good, We’ll Know in 2013
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2013 draft.
Jarvis Jones could make opposing quarterbacks fear the Steelers again.
Le’Veon Bell could be the Steelers’ first iconic running back since Jerome Bettis.
Markus Wheaton could be Mike Wallace with a brain.
Shamarko Thomas could fly all over the field and make plays.
That’s a lot of “could”s...
An Early 53 Man Roster Prediction For The Pittsburgh Steelers
Now that the NFL Draft has concluded, it is time to look ahead to what the 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers could potentially look like. Besides having another solid draft, the Steelers brought in a few interesting undrafted free agents who could push for spots on the roster. There are going to be a lot of heated position battles once training camp gets under way and I can’t wait till...
2013 Pittsburgh Steelers Draft: Pro Bowl Odds for Every Pick
Applying letter grades to each team’s NFL draft has become such a hackneyed practice.
It’s Kentucky Derby weekend, so let’s set numerical Pro Bowl odds for each member of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 draft class.
These are the odds of each player making the Pro Bowl at least once in his career, not necessarily in his rookie year. A draft pick doesn’t have to be a Pro Bowler...
Pittsburgh Steelers Went by the Book in the 2013 NFL Draft
Just call him Broadway Jarvis.
Already immortalized with food artwork in his likeness at a Subway in Manhattan, Jarvis Jones made the Namath-like prediction that he wouldn’t get past the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft, according to NFL.com.
The Steelers had the No. 17 pick, and that’s exactly when Roger Goodell announced Jones’ name Thursday night...
Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 Draft: Predicting the Steelers First-Round Board (Part II)
Previously, we discussed the 12 players worthy of being drafted with the No. 17 pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2013 NFL draft.
Now let’s look at seven more players the Steelers could take in the first round, but only if they trade down from No. 17. These players come with some questions, so if the Steelers draft them, they’ll need to hedge their bets by acquiring more...
Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 Draft: Predicting the Steelers’ First-Round Board (Part I)
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said Monday, via Steel City Insider, that the Steelers probably won’t be trading up from the No. 17 pick in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.
Tell us something we don’t know.
The real question is whether the Steelers will trade down in the first round.
As Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pointed out, there isn’t...
The Future Of The Defensive Line Will Be More Clear After The Draft
Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have spent two first round picks in recent years on defensive linemen in Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward, there is a ton of uncertainty going forward on the defensive line. I have suggested that the team could draft another defensive lineman early in the 2013 NFL Draft and have mostly gotten criticism for that opinion. When you think about it though...
A Look at the Rough Spots in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2013 Schedule
It’s been pointed out in this space how the Pittsburgh Steelers tend to have better seasons when they avoid the spotlight in Week 1.
The Steelers’ 2013 opener at home against the Tennessee Titans is the type of laid-back matchup that kicked off their last three Super Bowl seasons.
It’s also one of nine games the Steelers play against teams that missed the playoffs in 2012....
2013 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule: Boring Opener Could Be a Good Omen
Pittsburgh Steelers fans already had a head start on planning their agendas for the rest of 2013. We knew the Steelers were going to London Sept. 29 and therefore would have their bye the following week.
Now the dates for the Steelers’ other 15 games are out.
Here’s a look:
2013 PITTSBURGH STEELERS SCHEDULE

Pittsburgh Steelers Made Short-Sighted Decision Keeping Emmanuel Sanders
Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert know that’s Emmanuel Sanders who wears No. 88 and not Lynn Swann, right?
That uniform number made Sanders look like Hines Ward in his rookie season, but that’s only because that second “8” looked like a “6” when Sanders caught passes over the middle in 2010. Steelers fans weren’t used to seeing the No. 88 on the field because it had been...
Pittsburgh Steelers: Patriots Would Be Doing Them a Favor by Taking Emmanuel Sanders
Maybe Bill Belichick has a conscience after all.
Perhaps he feels guilty about stealing the Steelers’ signals during the 2004 AFC Championship Game at Heinz Field.
How else can you explain the Patriots’ willingness to send the Steelers a third-round draft pick for Emmanuel Sanders?
Unless the devious Patriots laced Sanders’ drinking water with Randy Moss’ DNA during his visit...
Losing Emmanuel Sanders Doesn’t Guarantee A First Round Receiver For The Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have already lost Mike Wallace to the Miami Dolphins this offseason and now it is more than likely they will lose Emmanuel Sanders. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New England Patriots signed Sanders to an offer sheet of one year and 2.5 million dollars. The Steelers have the opportunity to match the Patriots offer however, at this point it looks...
Pittsburgh Steelers: A Look at the Five Fastest Wide Receivers in the 2013 NFL Draft
It’s been established in this space that if Tennessee wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is available, the Pittsburgh Steelers should select him with the No. 17 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
But what if Patterson is gone by the time the Steelers pick? What if they pick an outside linebacker or a running back instead?
That would be OK, but the Steelers still would need to take at...
