Jeff: Pat Freiermuth, Zach Gentry, Connor HeywardĪnalysis: I could see the team possibly keeping a fourth tight end in Kevin Rader, and considering Heyward could fall under several categories on this prediction it could be feasible. Steven Sims also could make a play here, but I don’t see it happening.ĭave: Pat Freiermuth, Zach Gentry, Connor HeywardĪnalysis: I was confident in this list before training camps, but now I’m really confident in it now Anthony Miller could have made a case for himself, but his IR designation ended that before it began. At this point, I like Boykin’s ability to play special teams, giving him the nudge over the others. Jeff: Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Miles Boykin, Gunner OlszewskiĪnalysis: If there is a player whose roster spot isn’t guaranteed, it’s Boykin. But now, based on who’s available, it’s back to these six. Moving on.ĭave: Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Gunner Olszewski, Miles BoykinĪnalysis: This list would have changed three times since the last time we made our predictions following minicamp. But for now he stays.Īnalysis: The only true fullback on the team. Otherwise, I see Benny Snell’s time coming to a close Pittsburgh, unless they keep four running backs.Īnalysis: I almost dropped him off the roster after going to bat for him throughout the offseason, but when he’s been injured and hasn’t played it makes it really tough to justify keeping the Steelers special teams captain for just teams when others are on the field showing what they can bring. OUT, Jaylen Warren INĪnalysis: McFarland was a draft pick, and the Steelers still favor those players in these situations. Jeff: Najee Harris, Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr., Jaylen WarrenĬhanges: Benny Snell Jr. This has everything to do with their unavailability throughout the camp, so it could easily change. So I flipped a coin between Benny Snell and Derek Watt and Snell lost. I was even going to carry one less defender but that didn’t work. If Oladokun plays well in the preseason, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him make the roster and another roster move being made, like a trade.ĭave: Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr.Ĭhanges: Benny Snell out, Jaylen Warren inĪnalysis: I want Jaylen Warren on this team and I was looking everywhere to find a spot. Jeff: Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason RudolphĪnalysis: Chris Oladokun doesn’t make it to the team’s 53-man roster, but the hope is he is either stashed on Injured Reserve (IR) like Joshua Dobbs last season, or placed on the practice squad. Let your voice be heard and join in the black-and-gold conversation! Offenseĭave: Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason RudolphĪnalysis: If training camp showed us anything it’s it this isn’t going to change outside of a major roster move. Regardless, BTSC editor Dave Schofield and senior editor Jeff Hartman will give their input onto their thoughts of who will make the roster come Week 1.Īs always, we welcome you to join the conversation in our comment section below this article. With two games yet for players to prove themselves, it’s difficult to project who the bottom of the roster players will be. While things can still happen between now and August 30 when teams must cut down to 53 players by 4 PM Pittsburgh time, it’s time to give our somewhat-too-early predictions for the Steelers 53-man roster to begin the 2022 season. The kickoff to the 2022 NFL preseason is underway.
