ESPN unimpressed with Steelers young talent
The Pittsburgh Steelers will field one of the oldest rosters in the NFL in 2025. This is due in large part to the offseason additions, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and wide receiver DK Metcalf. So when ESPN ranked all 32 teams based on their talent under 25 years old, the best the Steelers could do was No. 27.
Here's what ESPN had to say about the Steelers young talent:
Any look at young talent for the Steelers has to be focused on the offensive line. Frazier was already one of the best centers in the NFL as a rookie last season, and he turns 24 on Aug. 29. Jones, in his third NFL season, is 24 years old. Right tackle Troy Fautanu, last year's first-round pick who was injured for most of the season, turns 25 in October, so he still counts for our list.
Next, let's look along the defensive front. Nose tackle Keeanu Benton turned 24 in mid-July, and first-round rookie Derrick Harmon turns 22 on Aug. 3. Other young Steelers talents include 23-year-old edge rusher Nick Herbig and 22-year-old running back Kaleb Johnson.
The Steelers front office is doing it the right way when the best young players are on either side of the line of scrimmage, and ESPN highlights that with starting offensive tackles Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, along with starting defensive linemen Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon.
