Steelers Release 2025 Depth Chart Highlighting Tight End Strength, WR Position Changes

The Pittsburgh Steelers have revamped several positions for the 2025 season, with particular attention on their tight end group, which is praised for its versatility under Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith's flexible schemes. Pat Freiermuth, a core player who recently signed a three-year extension, is expected to see increased targets, supported by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The team's first depth chart reveals Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback, with DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III as starting wide receivers. However, 2024 third-round pick Roman Wilson is listed as a third-string wide receiver behind Scotty Miller and Robert Woods, despite initial excitement around his potential; Wilson's progress has been hampered by injury and inconsistent performance. Scotty Miller, a 28-year-old free agent signing, has impressed in training camp and appears to have secured a more prominent role due to his speed and route-running, complementing Rodgers well. Overall, the Steelers appear to be strategically positioning their roster with an emphasis on proven talent and flexibility, especially in their offense.
