Versatile FB Jack Colletto Hopes to Stick on Steelers Roster in Second Professional Season
All 90 is a Steelers Now series profiling each of the 90 members of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 offseason roster. Next up is FB Jack Colletto. The Steelers have not really used a fullback as a part of their offense since the days of Rosevelt Nix as the NFL changed since those days. In recent years, the NFL has been all about the passing attacks but within the last year or two, teams like the San Fransisco 49ers have made running “sexy” again. While the Steelers are always known to run the ball, it is about to go to another...

Firefighter killed at Trump rally honored with bagpipes, gun salute and a bugle sounding taps
The keen of bagpipes, a three-volley gun salute and a bugle sounding taps pierced the air of a small Pennsylvania town as hundreds gathered to honor an ex-fire chief who was shot and killed at a rally for former President Donald Trump.

Officials have said that Comperatore spent his final moments shielding his wife and daughter from gunfire at Trump’s rally last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump didn't attend the funeral because of Secret Service concerns.

From Honor Student to the Gunman Who Tried to Kill Donald Trump
For Thomas Crooks, the suburban Pittsburgh nursing home where he served meals and washed dishes for $16 an hour was another solitary corner of a nearly invisible life. He was polite but distant, a former co-worker said, ate lunch alone in the break room and rarely spoke with anyone. But...
Davante Adams Could Want To Be In Pittsburgh Because ‘Players Love Playing For Mike Tomlin,’ Says Former Steelers OT
Brandon Aiyuk has been the wide receiver most rumored to end up with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, but he might not be their only option. The Steelers weakest link at the moment is receiver, with the room consisting of George Pickens and a handful of question marks. There is no definitive No. 2 option, and the Steelers know they need to add another productive body to that room. One former Steelers offensive tackle believes that Mike Tomlin could be a big selling point for them to land a player like Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams.

Former Steelers free safety Ryan Clark thinks a lot is riding on this season for Mike Tomlin. He has to show more than just winning seasons. The Steelers have not won a playoff game in seven years, only eight teams in the NFL have a longer drought. “I don’t think this is the year his streak ends, but I do think this is the year he has to prove to the entire world that he is the Hall of Fame coach I believe him to be,” Clark said on ESPN’s First Take. “This team has meandered around the 9-8 level where they...

Steelers WR Calvin Austin III's Belief In Russell Wilson As A Leader Is Rising: 'Brings The Whole Team Together'
When the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to go out and sign Russell Wilson for the veteran minimum, most of the Steel City knew about the leadership qualities that would come with him. It's still surprising although, to hear about how many great things a lot of the current players have to say about Wilson. Going into his 13th career season, Wilson more than likely only has one more chance to prove to the world that he's still got it. To do that, he needs his support from his pass catchers, and Calvin Austin III has praised Wilson for his leadership time after time this...

Tears Should Flow on Jim Leyland’s Big Day in Cooperstown
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Lemme tell you a story about Jim Leyland. It was 1986 and Leyland was the first-year manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I was a 22-year-old kid working at the Beaver County Times and covering high school sports. One day, I was asked to fill in for our Pirates’ beat writer Mike Prisuta, who has since gone on to fame and fortune – I hope — on the ‘DVE Morning Show. I poked my head into Leyland’s office at Three Rivers Stadium about three hours before the game and introduced myself. I figured it was the proper thing to do. Leyland looked...
