On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter wrap up Steelers OTAs with a focus on the 2026 NFL draft class. How should this group be viewed with Germie Bernard still the only player expected to contribute quickly? Can Max Iheanachor, Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker and/or Daylen Everette accelerate their respective timelines and make impacts the way names like Joey Porter Jr., Broderick Jones, Zach Frazier, Keeanu Benton, Mason McCormick and Derrick Harmon have in recent years under GM Omar Khan? And are we sleeping on the potential of specialist players like Kaden Wetjen, Eli Heidenreich and Riley Nowakowski to stand out within their roles? Our duo tackles those questions and more as new coach Mike McCarthy's first team starts to take shape around established stars like DK Metcalf, Aaron Rodgers, T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to discuss coach Mike McCarthy's old-school ideas for tight ends Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Can a 1990s-style role within the offense work for that duo with Aaron Rodgers at QB and an improved set of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson and Jaylen Warren around them? And how capable is the current roster of playing that more physical style of the past? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks QBs and how pivotal this summer could be for Will Howard as he looks to prove he deserves consideration for the QB2 role next to Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar.

The Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac and Christopher Carter report from Steelers OTAs at the team's South Side facility. The explain how younger players including Drew Allar, Will Howard and others are getting more work this week with older veterans now off until training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Were Allar and Howard able to make the most of their reps with Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph absent? Does Howard need to unseat Rudolph as Rodgers' primary backup to make the roster? Will GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy get enough value out of Darnell Washington following his extension last week to play alongside Pat Freiermuth for the long term? Is new DC Patrick Graham signaling intent to play more nickel defense with names like Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean, Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott in the secondary? And what's the timeline for an extension for Porter Jr.? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nick Farabaugh doesn't think Highsmith will hold-out or hold-in. T.J. Watt could have less than 82% of the snaps. This date in sports history.

Alex Highsmith was back at Steelers OTAs and participated on Monday. Nick doesn't think there is any ill-will that Nick Herbig is making more money. Nick doesn't think Highsmith will hold-out or hold-in. T.J. Watt could have less than 82% of the snaps and could be the way to keep Herbig and Highsmith with good snaps. Crowley thinks Porter Jr. and Dean could be one of the best corner duos in the league, and Nick agrees. Ramsey is going to play safety and slot corner. He thinks Jaquon Brisker is going to play 80-85% of the snaps, DeShon Elliott 70-75%.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter ponder the future for players who've either been marginalized in the past or overlooked by many since the start of the NFL offseason workout program. Can Kaleb Johnson overcome his special teams gaffe that landed him in former coach Mike Tomlin's proverbial dog house and prove that he belongs in the backfield alongside Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle? How will Roman Wilson respond to offseason moves for Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard that figure to push him down the depth chart? And how will new coach Mike McCarthy use tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Our duo ponders those questions.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder Aaron Rodgers' official return to the team this weekend. What does it mean that he'll be back in time for OTAs this week, the first under new coach Mike McCarthy?

The Steelers started OTAs today and it was highlighted by the Aaron Rodgers return that we learned about on Saturday night. What does that mean for the young QBs on the roster like Will Howard and Drew Allar? The Rodgers return limits their time in the spotlight, but how much does it limit their time with Mike McCarthy? It's hard to be excited about one, or both, of the young guys if you are also excited about Rodgers. The Steelers seem to know they need to take their chances on QB, but they keep blocking that by courting Rodgers back-to-back years. Chris said he is confused trying to figure out what the Steelers are actually doing. They think they can win and win big. Chris does not think this is a well-executed plan waiting to happen because it is very hard to live in both worlds. How are fans feeling about the Aaron Rodgers return? What do the betting lines look like for all of the Steelers matchups? Michael Pittman Jr. talked after the first day of Steelers OTAs.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter preview OTAs for the team, which begin next week at its South Side facility for the first time under new coach Mike McCarthy. What will the QB dynamic be with Will Howard and Mason Rudolph joining Drew Allar after his time in the spotlight for rookie minicamp? Especially with the Aaron Rodgers situation looming in the background? What will we see from new receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard as they start to work with DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson? How will the offensive line sort itself out with Gennings Dunker, Max Iheanachor, Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Dylan Cook and Spencer Anderson all looking to solidify roles next to Zach Frazier? And what does new DC Patrick Graham have in store for the secondary? Specifically safeties Jalen Ramsey and Jaquan Brisker? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to the Steelers' 2026 schedule that was released Friday and the inclusion of four night games and a Black Friday matchup to go with the previously announced trip to Paris to face the New Orleans Saints.
