Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh SteelersAbout this episode
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't short on potential breakout players for their 2025 season, and Christopher Carter thinks that could be the team's hidden strength. Mike DeFabo discusses the top players positioned to make a name for themselves, including rookie running back Kaleb Johnson, center Zach Frazier, offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, linebacker Payton Wilson and many more. Also, what will be the best ways for the Steelers to use their new tight end in Jonnu Smith? And did the Jalen Ramsey trade make a contract extension for T.J. Watt less likely?
