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. Additionally, I would not be shocked to see CA3 land on IR if he’s unable to play in the last preseason game. Both are candidates for the practice squad. Moving on.ĭave: Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Gunner Olszewski, Miles BoykinĪnalysis: The next two players off this list are Steven Sims and Tyler Vaughns in my opinion. It’s a strange theory, but I like it.Īnalysis: The only true fullback on the team. Also, look for a two-year deal coming back as this will sweeten the pot and possibly drop his cap number a little. I just can’t come up with somebody else with whom they would do this. If there isn’t any player to go on IR, then I think he’s in. To me, he is one candidate who would be released as a vested veteran and not have to go through waivers and would be signed back to the Steelers the next day when someone else goes on the Reserve/Injured List (IR). He sticks around, but the team can’t get rid of Jaylen Warren, so they keep four running backs.Īnalysis: No, those of you who despise Derek Watt should not burst out in celebration if you see him not make the initial 53-man roster. Jeff: Najee Harris, Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr., Jaylen WarrenĪnalysis: Benny Snell is the new Dan McCullers. I’m also not willing to give up any of the other players, so the Steelers keep the number they have over the last couple years. But I’m bringing him back to the roster because I just feel the Steelers aren’t going to move on from him because of his special teams play.
I was a supporter of his for a long time, but the difference in seeing him and Jaylen Warren in the last game was night and day. I don’t see the Steelers trading Rudolph at this point, so this will be the three who go into the season.ĭave: Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr.Īnalysis: I’m tired of seeing Benny Snell in the backfield. Jeff: Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason RudolphĪnalysis: Well, the Chris Oladokun theory is now shot. Let your voice be heard and join in the black-and-gold conversation! Offenseĭave: Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason RudolphĪnalysis: It’s the only three they have now, so this is more cemented as what they were before. 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 only game left for players to prove themselves, it’s still 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 once again give our predictions for the Steelers 53-man roster to begin the 2022 season. The 2022 NFL preseason is coming to a close not long after it seemed to just get started.
