Here are 3 offensive players Steelers fans should keep a close eye on during training camp in Latrobe this year.
The Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is just around the corner, and there are several exciting storylines for fans to watch closely in Latrobe — including how new and familiar faces will fare on this new-look offense. From one of the fastest receivers in the league to arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, here are three offensive Steelers to watch at training camp.
WR Calvin Austin III
Steelers WR coach Zach Azzanni named Austin as the de facto WR2 for good reason — his explosiveness and speed are second to none on Pittsburgh's roster. In what's shaping up to be a potential breakout year for Austin under the Aaron Rodgers-led offense, Latrobe will offer fans a glimpse of what to expect in Year 4.
TE Jonnu Smith
Some believe Smith's versatility will play a major role for Pittsburgh this season — with reports surfacing that he could be used at slot wide receiver and fullback. The Steelers clearly believed he was one of the missing pieces on offense — and all eyes will be on the 2024 Pro Bowl tight end and where he lines up in Latrobe.
QB Aaron Rodgers
This almost feels like cheating — as it's a no-brainer that a four-time MVP and 20-year veteran QB will be one of the most exciting offensive players to watch at training camp. Pittsburgh has gone all in on what’s shaping up to be Rodgers’ last season in the NFL — making blockbuster acquisitions on both sides of the ball to gear up for a potential Super Bowl run. Two years removed from a devastating Achilles tear, Rodgers will look to prove that he has more than enough gas in the tank to turn the Steelers’ postseason aspirations into reality — and it all starts in Latrobe.
