Alex Highsmith and George Pickens are key players in Week 1 Steelers vs. Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a state of transition, no doubt. Any time you lose a Hall of Fame quarterback who has manned the position since George W. Bush was in the Oval Office, it leaves a void—no matter the results from 2021.

Even so, we know some of the Steelers’ veteran stars and how they’ll be keys to the game. Can La’el Collins stymie T.J. Watt? Will Chidobe Awuzie and Eli Apple be able to contain Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool once again this year?

All valid questions.

But, there are a couple of other players to keep an eye on this week, according to BLEAV Network’s Mark Bergin.
