Who will have a breakout year for the Steelers in 2025?

Trent McDuffie of the Chiefs comes to mind. He is a lot more handsy than others give him credit for. That said, he is still one helluva corner.

 

I personally went with Zach Frazier. Dude was having a Pro Bowl Season before he got hurt. Him back at 100%, with an Offseason focused only on Football?!

A bit of a bold prediction but Id wager that he will be an All Pro this season.

 

Broderick Jones was my second choice personally. He was and still is my favorite pick from the Omar Khan era thus far. Havent given up on him for there is way too much talent and athleticism to throw in the towel. That said, like the incoming QB Class for 2026, the Offensive Tackle Class is equally as strong.


Put up or shut up time for Broderick. As for Roman Wilson?! More difficult to project as Arthur Smith doesnt employ 3 WR sets that much. Wilson will have to beat out CA III; someone whom I believe is going to cash in swell in 2026.

 

So would I, but it doesn't mean it can't happen.
I'll tell You the truth. I'm surprised when 1 out of 3 1st round Qbs actually make it as a actual QB1, and not just because they were drafted there.

 

In our Steelers mock draft in 2022 McDuffie was my Steelers selection. He was available in the real draft for us but we took Kenny instead.
