The Steelers might have the most talented special teams units in the NFL

I’ve talked at length about the Steelers depth on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but there is a third phase of the game which hasn't gotten much attention at all this offseason — special teams!

Before you click away about a topic on special teams, I should remind you the only team in NFL history that had both the number 1 offense AND defense was the 2010 San Diego Chargers whose special teams ranked dead last in the league, they missed the playoffs. Long story short, this matters!

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't just improve their kickers either, they added a ton of coverage players that will be crucial in pinning teams deep whenever they're on the field.
