In an offseason marked by strategic maneuvers, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been making headlines, signaling a robust build-up to the upcoming NFL Draft. With the acquisition of quarterback Russell Wilson and linebacker Patrick Queen, the Pittsburgh Steelers are shaping up to be the dark horses of the next NFL season.
Following a commendable 10-7 record and a playoff berth in 2023, these additions could catapult the team to new heights.
Pittsburgh Steelers Revamp Running Back Squad
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ latest decision to revamp their running back squad has stirred considerable attention. In a move aimed at optimizing the roster, Pittsburgh has bid farewell to Alfonzo Graham. The young running back, who joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent last year, faced an unfortunate setback due to a training camp injury—a torn labrum—sidelining him from regular-season action.
Despite his absence from the field in his inaugural NFL year, Graham’s collegiate career was nothing short of impressive. With stints at Arizona Western College, Fullerton College, and Morgan State University, his standout season in 2022 at Morgan State, where he rushed for 1,150 yards and bagged eight touchdowns, remains a highlight.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, however, are not left wanting in the running department. Najee Harris continues to be the linchpin of Pittsburgh’s ground game, with Jaylen Warren providing solid support. The addition of Russell Wilson to the mix introduces an exciting, multifaceted dynamic to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense.
Russell Wilson’s dual-threat capability, demonstrated in his last season with the Denver Broncos where he amassed 341 rushing yards and three touchdowns on top of passing for 3,070 yards and 26 touchdowns, promises to invigorate Pittsburgh’s running and passing plays.

His arrival is seen as a game-changer, potentially enhancing the Steelers’ playoff prospects and underlining their status as a team to watch in the upcoming season.
As the Steelers gear up for the NFL Draft, their off-season activities hint at a well-orchestrated strategy to elevate the team’s performance. With a reinforced lineup and a clear focus on building a competitive roster, Pittsburgh is poised for what could be a breakthrough year.
