Pittsburgh Steelers fans have reasons to be excited as the team gears up for free agency and the draft. New guard and center Brock Hoffman has joined the team, leaving Dallas Cowboys fans behind. Meanwhile, former running back Najee Harris is making progress from his Achilles tear and is now a free agent.
The draft season is heating up, with LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Junior impressing at pro day with a four-point-three-eight forty-yard dash. The Steelers plan to host him for a pre-draft visit soon. Coach Mike Tomlin also showed support for his daughter Harlyn and the Georgia Bulldogs womens gymnastics team at the SEC championships.
Around the league, excitement is building for potential matchups. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Junior noted similarities between DK Metcalf and his old Colts teammate Alec Pierce. Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday, a Packers fan from childhood, called playing with Aaron Rodgers a dream, naming him his all-time favorite quarterback.
Preparations for the NFL draft in late April are underway, with a new cell phone tower being built in Pittsburghs Point State Park to handle the crowds downtown and on the North Shore. Verizon is an official partner. Rodgers rumors persist, with teammates and scouts linking him back to the Steelers.
As the team eyes free agency and the draft, these moves signal a busy spring ahead for Pittsburgh.
