The greatest 1st-round picks in Pittsburgh Steelers history, including all Hall of Famers Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Ben Roethlisberger, Franco Harris, Troy Polamalu, and Lynn Swann.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders the success -- of lack thereof -- of some recent draft picks facing questions about their future. Is it too soon to label names including Keeanu Benton, Broderick Jones, Roman Wilson as Kaleb Johnson as busts? Or is there still time for them to develop into long-term solutions? Will the transition from Mike Tomlin to Mike McCarthy help or hurt any of these players? And what does this group's lack of success say about GM Omar Khan? Does he deserve criticism for these picks? Or more praise for successes like Joey Porter Jr., Zach Frazier, Troy Polamalu, Mason McCormick, Nick Herbig, Darnell Washington and others? Paul tackles those questions and more.

What Pittsburgh sports documentary do want to see created? We hear from Pittsburgh sports fans. We think some of the best opportunities are Troy Polamalu, Jack Lambert, Three Rivers Stadium, the 2013 Pirates, and many many more. 

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: What Pittsburgh sports documentary do want to see created? Troy Polamalu, Jack Lambert, Three Rivers Stadium, the 2013 Pirates, and many more. Texans GM Nick Caserio said is it moronic to talk about trading CJ Stroud and Stroud isn't going anywhere. Are you open to significant changes to the core of certain sports?

Beyond the "Novelty": The Untold Origins of Asian and Pacific Islander Football PioneersWhen we think of Polynesian dominance in the NFL today, names like Troy Polamalu, Puka Nacua, and Marcus Mariota immediately come to mind. The islands have become a powerhouse for football talent, but the roots of this tradition go back much further than most fans realize.In a recent episode of the Pigpen podcast, host Darin Hayes sat down with Tim Brown of Football Archaeology to uncover the forgotten history of the first Asian and Pacific Islander (API) players to lace up their cleats and change the game.The Early Days: Foreign Nationals and Walk-OnsLong before the 1960s brought major shifts in sports integration, a small group of Asian players was already making waves in college football. Interestingly, many of these early pioneers weren't domestic recruits but foreign nationals.During the late 1800s, wealthy families and government officials from China and Japan often sent their children to the U.S. and Europe for education. These students brought back more than just engineering degrees; they brought back a love for American sports.The "Exchange Student" Athlete: Many of these students were natural athletes who joined football teams as walk-ons to better acculturate to American life.A Multi-Sport Legacy: Tim Brown highlights one standout at the University of Pennsylvania who was not only a varsity baseball player but also one of the top tennis players of his era before trying his hand at football.From the Islands to the Iron: Walter "Sneeze" AchiuWhile Asian players appeared on the East Coast as early as the late 1800s, it wasn't until the 1920s that we saw the first identified Pacific Islander make a mark. That man was Walter Achiu.Achiu's journey is a fascinating look at the "hidden" pipelines of early football. A standout at the St. Louis School (then St. Louis College) in Honolulu—a Catholic school that still produces NFL talent today—Achiu ended up playing for the University of Dayton.Why Dayton? It turns out both schools were run by the same Catholic order, creating a bridge from the tropical islands to the Ohio gridiron.The First API Star in the NFLAchiu was a dual-threat star, captaining the track team and playing halfback and quarterback. In 1927, he broke the ultimate barrier by joining the Dayton Triangles, making him the first Asian and Pacific Islander player in NFL history."His race was half of his football identity in the press. They'd call him 'The Chinese' or 'Native Islander'—it was a novelty to the media of the time, regardless of his actual skill on the field." — Tim BrownHis nickname, "Sneeze," reportedly came from his surname, Achiu (pronounced Ah-choo), which he told fans was "just like a sneeze" to help them remember it.A Legacy Beyond the GridironLike many players of the era, Achiu's athletic career didn't end with the NFL. He transitioned into professional wrestling, a career he maintained into the 1950s. While he held an electrical engineering degree, the lure of the ring (and the better pay) kept him in the spotlight for decades.Today, we see a heavy influence of Samoan and Hawaiian players across every level of football. While they are no longer viewed as "novelties" or "attractions," it is important to remember the pioneers like Walter Achiu who traveled thousands of miles to prove that the game of football...

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes KDKA-TV's Josh Taylor to rank the best couples in team history. This show is presented by FanDuel. Which dynamic duos are most responsible for the franchise's illustrious history? And which were simply the most fun to watch post mind-boggling stats? Brian and Josh give their thoughts on the Hall of Fame receiver duo of John Stallworth and Lynn Swann; the backfield combo of Jerome Bettis and Dan Kreider; the QB/C exchange of Terry Bradshaw and Mike Webster; the "Blitzburgh" originators Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene; the broadcasting icons Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley; high-synergy linebackers Larry Foote and James Farrior; the passing game virtuosos Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown; defensive backfield mates Ike Taylor and Troy Polamalu; modern stars T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith and many more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to rank the Steelers' six Super Bowl victories with the big game looming this weekend. Do our guys give the edge to the Steel Curtain teams of the 1970s, led by names like "Mean" Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, John Stallworth, Lynn Swann, Franco Harris, Mel Blount, Jack Lambert and Jack Ham? Or do they prefer the 2000s teams led by Ben Roethlisberger, Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu and James Harrison? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes this years matchup between Drake Maye and the Patriots and Sam Darnold and the Seahawks, two teams the Steelers faced in 2025.

Troy Polamalu said that the Steelers had the mentality in practice that week that they needed to block and be set for an interception and runback from Mike Tomlin. Bill Belichick is in a voting poll with three senior category players and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. A Hall of Fame voter in Kansas City voted for three senior players because he doesn't know if they will ever make the Hall and this might be their last chance.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA coach you could count on. That's the rarest currency in a league built on chaos, and it's exactly what Mike Tomlin delivered for nineteen seasons in Pittsburgh. We break down how standards, not slogans, powered a run with no losing years, a locker room that believed, and a city that saw its own identity reflected in the man on the sideline.We dig into the engine behind the consistency: clear expectations, blunt honesty, and a culture that turned stability into a competitive weapon. Yes, the playoff paradox loomed—loaded rosters didn't always cash out in January—and we talk candidly about game management debates, staff loyalty, and why the regular season excellence that kept the Steelers relevant also set the stage for harsh criticism. The nuance matters: the same traits that sparked frustration forged trust, clarity, and resilience on the inside.Tomlin's legacy reaches further than wins. As one of the most visible Black head coaches in NFL history, he embodied character and steadiness without making himself the story. We reflect on what his quiet decision to step away means for a franchise defined by long-tenured leaders and what the next coach inherits: a high floor, relentless expectations, and a blueprint that proves culture can win. Along the way, we revisit a cold AFC title night, Troy Polamalu's game-sealing pick, and the Santonio Holmes toe-tap that crystallized belief—moments that reveal how preparation and leadership fuse under pressure.If you care about leadership, team culture, and the fine line between stability and complacency, this one's for you. Listen, share with a Steelers fan who still quotes “the standard is the standard,” and leave a review with your take on Tomlin's defining legacy.Key Points from the Episode:• Tomlin's consistency and no losing seasons• Culture as a competitive weapon• Honest communication and locker room trust• The playoff paradox and fair critique• Representation and character-driven leadership• A quiet decision to step away• What the next Steelers coach inherits• Memories that cement a legacyOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Tomlin Tidbit – How long is DeShon Elliott out? And to no surprise, Mike Tomlin made it sound like the team was losing prime Troy Polamalu.

Did Mike Tomlin throw some shade at Aaron Rodgers and the offense after the loss to Green Bay? The guys think the expectations on both sides of the ball should be drastically different, even with Rodgers at QB. Do we think they talk about this kind of thing during the week to avoid issues? Fans sound off on Steelers issues. Tomlin Tidbit – How long is DeShon Elliott out? And to no surprise, Mike Tomlin made it sound like the team was losing prime Troy Polamalu.

Jalen Ramsey can move around the defense and Mark compared him to Troy Polamalu, in a way. Mark thinks Tee Higgins will be followed around by Joey Porter Jr. Mark would be stunned if Calvin Austin plays on Thursday. Mark thinks the Steelers win around 30-14 and win easily.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Mark thinks if the Steelers win against the Bengals, you can pretty much rubber stamp the Steelers to win the AFC North. Aaron Rodgers has a ton to play for over the next two weeks with the Packers next. Did Pitt contribute to the poor fight conditions at Acrisure? Jalen Ramsey can move around the defense and Mark compared him to Troy Polamalu, in a way.

Recorded: February 8th, 2024 | The boys were joined by the one and only Troy Polamalu. This interview was a football player’s dream — just a couple of older guys talking inside ball, breaking down X’s and O’s, and having some good old-fashioned dude time. Troy opened up about how relentlessly he studied other players, his love for watching film, and how he decided to make those legendary plays jumping over the line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former NFL Super Bowl Champ Tony Hills opens up about the day the draft went sideways, the surprise call from Pittsburgh, and walking straight into a Super Bowl. He shares the quiet moment with Troy Polamalu that changed his money life forever, the standard Mike Tomlin demands, the culture Dan Campbell builds, and why the work you do in the dark eventually gets called into the light.We also go deep on fatherhood, faith, choosing to retire on his terms, and what he tells young athletes about purpose, decisions, and money when the noise is loud and the cameras are gone.

Cam Heyward and Hayden return for a loaded episode full of hot takes, Steelers insights, and hilarious NFL stories you won't hear anywhere else.In this episode:

What is the greatest individual performance in Pittsburgh sports history you've seen in the last 25 years? Troy Polamalu, Le'Veon Bell, Jake Guentzel, James Connor had great days, but didn't make the list. Izzy Abanikanda's 320 yards and six touchdowns vs. Virginia Tech is fifth. What are the others?

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: What is the greatest individual performance in Pittsburgh sports history you've seen in the last 25 years? Troy Polamalu, Le'Veon Bell, Jake Guentzel, James Connor had great days, but didn't make the list. What makes the cut? Fans send their thoughts.

Mark was NOT invited to Donny's wedding. Mark's top 5 Steelers of the 21st century: Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Troy Polamalu, Alan Faneca, James Harrison. We hear Cam Heyward's reaction to Donny having Cam 8th on his best players of the last 25 years.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi reacted to Patrick Rooney calling out the Steelers and their way of business. One of the things he said was the ‘insane' idea of paying TJ Watt. Can Watt accept his poor play from the end of last season and how can that impact his negotiations? Aditi said Watt is putting a plan together for a bounce back in 2025. She indicated that Watt hears the critics. Who does Aditi think is the best Steeler of the last 25 years? She thinks Troy Polamalu makes quite the case.

Patrick Rooney Jr., a member of the Rooney family, said it would be ‘insane' to give TJ Watt big money right now. Is it a nothing-burger or is there something there? He may not be as close to the family as other members, but he had several critiques of the team at-large. And he's certainly not a fan of Aaron Rodgers or how his family has built the current team.

She indicated that Watt hears the critics. Who does Aditi think is the best Steeler of the last 25 years? She thinks Troy Polamalu makes quite the case. Donny Football Debrief – Our friends in Cleveland had something to say to Poni.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: James Palmer is hearing there is a chance T.J. Watt gets over $40 million from the Steelers. Paying Watt over $40 million is extravagant. Do the Steelers need to sign Watt before Parsons? Jay Glazer thinks Tomlin-Rodgers is a 'perfect match.' Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu

Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu. McCutchen is one of only three players in Pittsburgh this century to win an MVP. Malkin won Rookie of the Year, MVP, two scoring titles, playoff MVP, and three Stanley Cups. Mario Lemieux is the only other Pittsburgh sports athlete to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, and playoff MVP.

Should T.J. Watt be in our top five Pittsburgh athletes of the past 25 years? Watt should be a 3x Defensive Player of the Year. We would have to bump Andrew McCutchen, Evgeni Malkin, or Troy Polamalu. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show with a Nick Gonzales signed card for Starkey's Card of the Week.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to ESPN's NFL quarter-century team released this week, which included only two Steelers on the 53-man roster. Why were Alan Faneca and Troy Polamalu the only names to make the cut? Did T.J. Watt deserve a spot over the Browns' Myles Garrett? And were names including Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Chris Boswell, Cam Heyward, Hines Ward, James Harrison and Maurkice Pouncey snubbed?

There is a lot of risk for the Steelers taking Aaron Rodgers as QB1. The idea of a one-helmet guy goes out the window when the Steelers don't think you can play anymore. Joe thinks the Steelers pushed out Troy Polamalu, Hines Ward, and Ben Roethlisberger out before they wanted to retire and were willing to leave open the possibility the first two would go elsewhere. Would T.J. Watt be ok not being a one-helmet guy?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko draft an all-time Steelers flag football team ahead of that sport joining the Olympics for the 2028 games in Los Angeles. Does Ben Roethlisberger or Justin Fields make more sense at QB? Are Antonio Brown, Diontae Johnson and Santonio Holmes the top options at WR? And could Rod Woodson, Mike Hilton, Mel Blount, Troy Polamalu and Minkah Fitzpatrick form a fearsome defense? Our duo tackles those questions, offers thoughts on the end of another week of uncertainty around Aaron Rodgers and George Pickens' comments upon joining the Dallas Cowboys.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, Gareth Warren joins to discuss his path to signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After earning a contract following rookie camp, Gareth talks about what drives him, growing up a fan of the team because of Troy Polamalu, being versatile, the food scene differences between here and in Hawaii and much more! Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the addition of former Penn State linebacker Te'Mere Robinson from the NCAA Transfer Portal. The 6-foot-3, 223-pound Robinson gives the Trojans' linebacker room some much needed depth. Robinson didn't play much on defense in his two years with the Nittany Lions (107 total defensive snaps), but he was having a solid spring camp in Happy Valley prior to entering the portal. USC also lost another player to the portal, redshirt freshman Jarvis Boatwright out of Clearwater, Florida did not see any action in 2024 and will now try his luck at another program for 2025. The guys also discuss all of the news and notes from spring practice including what Lincoln Riley had to say about the starting quarterback situation, the depth at defensive line and wide receiver and Trojan legend Troy Polamalu showing up at practice this week.
