There seems to be a lot of cautious optimism surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they have received a lot of praise throughout the offseason for the work that has gone in to assembling this roster, few have been willing to predict more than marginal success for 2023. Perhaps a playoff berth as a wildcard, maybe a first-round win, but almost never more than that.
Yet even many of these same commentators see the potential for greater on the horizon. That’s tied largely to an encouraging core of young players, particularly on offense, who can grow together and, if successful, forge a championship-caliber roster.
