CBS Sports ranked all the offensive trios in the NFL. This includes a quarterback, running back and wide receiver from each squad. Needless to say, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense should be better this year with the addition of Russell Wilson at quarterback but the CBS Sports panel didn’t seem impressed.
They ranked the Steelers’ offensive trio No. 26 under the tier of “too many question marks”. Here’s what they had to say about the Steelers ranking:
Our panel is, once again, not inspired by Russell Wilson — or by the Steelers’ triplets. Harris is likely to remain the lead back due to inertia and financial investment, but he has been outplayed by Jaylen Warren in each of their Warren’s two seasons. Pickens has a ton of talent, but we also haven’t seen him totally tap into it just yet, so it’s hard to say he should carry this ranking.
If the Steelers can all get on the same page with the Steelers’ new offensive scheme under Arthur Smith, this offense will be much better. Russell Wilson is far and away the best quarterback the Steelers have had since Ben Roethlisberger.
As for Harris, he’s topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first three seasons and wide receiver George Pickens led the league in yards per catch in 2023. This is the group that is going to shock everyone this season with just how much better the Steelers’ offense is.
