These 3 Steelers are worth watching as the team gets to work at training camp in Latrobe ahead of the 2025 season.
Steelers training camp is almost upon us — and several players will arrive in Latrobe with plenty to prove. From a fullback-tight end hybrid battling for his role to a future Hall of Fame quarterback in what could be his final act, here are three Steelers with something to prove at training camp.
FB/TE Connor Heyward
With the addition of TE Jonnu Smith on offense and another FB/TE hybrid in undrafted rookie DJ Thomas-Jones vying for his starting role, it's safe to say Connor Heyward has a lot to prove at training camp. He hinted at primarily playing fullback this upcoming season — but the third-year Steeler will look to silence all the doubters in Latrobe, locking up a spot on the 53-man roster in the process.
WR Roman Wilson
There's no debating many Steelers wideouts have heard the 'Pittsburgh needs a WR2 criticism' — and Roman Wilson is ready to step up to the plate. It's safe to say his rookie season didn't pan out exactly as planned — missing almost the entirety of 2024 with an ankle injury — but his time to shine has almost arrived, as training camp is perfect early-proving grounds for the second-year Steeler.
QB Aaron Rodgers
There might be no Steeler with more to prove this season than four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. After an abrupt exit from a polarizing two-year tenure with the New York Jets, the 20-year veteran QB will look to prove he has more than enough in the tank for a deep playoff push in 2025 — a swan song for what's shaping up to be Rodgers' last season in the NFL.
