Much of the offseason attention in Pittsburgh has been paid to the new-look Steelers offense, which brings together future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers and one of the league's most explosive wide receivers, former Seahawks standout DK Metcalf.
Pittsburgh invested plenty in its revamped offense for 2025, but the defense will feature some high-profile new faces as well. After a lengthy wait, the Steelers signed T.J. Watt to a record extension, locking in one of the NFL's most feared pass rushers. A few weeks earlier, they made a splashy move to bolster the secondary, swapping safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith in a deal with the Dolphins.
