Former NFL linebacker and current ESPN analyst Rob Ninkovich appeared on Get Up this morning and offered his thoughts on the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers. Ninkovich said that being one of the lesser-talked-about teams in the AFC North will be beneficial.
“They will be competitive. I 100 percent think that the Steelers will be a competitive football team,” Ninkovich said. “When you have a very good division filled with teams that are right there, you kind of don’t mind being the less talked about team that everyone’s counting out and saying you’re gonna finish in last place.”
I’m not sure the Steelers are really one of the lesser-talked-about teams, but their hype compared to that of the Bengals or even the Browns is a little bit lower.
