Predicting the Pittsburgh Steelers 53-Man Roster

Quarterback

This is by far the easiest position to predict, unless you for some reason believe in Bart Houston.

QB1: Ben Roethlisberger

QB2: Landry Jones

QB3: Joshua Dobbs

P.S: Yes, Landry Jones will, and should be the Steelers backup quarterback.

Offensive Line

The Steelers offensive line is pretty much set. The top-tier group will look very similar to last year.

OT1: Marcus Gilbert

OT1: Alejandro Villanueva

OG1: David Decastro

OG1: Ramon Foster

C1: Maurkice Pouncey

OG2: BJ Finney

OT2: Chris Hubbard

OL3: Jerald Hawkins

OL3: Brian Mihalik

On the Bubble: Matt Feiler, Keavon Milton

Running Backs

This is a tough one.

Kniles Davis certainly hasn’t been what the Steelers are looking for in a dual returner/running back.

Fitzgerald Touissant has gotten more than enough chances and is currently injured, but Tomlin continues to believe.

And to top it all off inexperienced young players like Terrell Watson and Trey Williams have shined in camp and games. But have they shined bright enough?

RB1: Le’Veon Bell

RB2: James Conner

RB3: Fitz Toussaint

FB1: Roosevelt Nix

On the Bubble: Terrell Watson, Trey Williams, Knile Davis

Tight End

What seemed like an easy position to predict, took a turn with good play from undrafted rookie Jake McGee and a trade for Vance McDonald.

TE1: Vance McDonald

TE2: Jesse James

TE3: Xavier Grimble

On the Bubble: David Johnson, Jake McGee

Wide Receiver

Finally, the Steelers most talked about offensive position group is also the hardest to predict.

The Steelers could look to trade one of these receivers before the season or keep up to seven for themselves.

But we can only take the roster the way it is now and with more pressing needs elsewhere expect a maximum of seven.

WR1: Antonio Brown

WR1: Martavis Bryant

WR2: Eli Rogers

WR2: JuJu Smith-Schuster

WR3: Sammie Coates

WR4: Justin Hunter

On the Bubble: Demarcus Ayers, Cobi Hamilton

This has the offense at 26 players. Only 27 to go.
