Despite retaining the likes of star running back Najee Harris and true No. 1 wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow dropped a surprising seven spots Thursday in NFL.com’s triplets rankings, which was compiled by Around the NFL writer Nick Shook.
Granted, the Steelers did lost future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to retirement and have the likes of Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph still battling it out for the starting job in the Steel City, but falling seven spots from No. 17 last season to No. 24 this season feels like a bit of an absurd drop overall.
