Steelers ranked 20th in 2026 NFL rankings
29 May
Summary
- Steelers are ranked 20th in new 2026 NFL power rankings.
- The team is projected to win eight games in the 2026 season.
- Key offseason acquisitions include Jamel Dean and Michael Pittman Jr.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been placed at number 20 in the latest 2026 NFL power rankings compiled by Jacob Infante for Pro Football Network. This projection places the team in the lower half of the league, with an anticipated eight wins for the upcoming season.
Infante's analysis highlights the Steelers' quarterback situation, with Aaron Rodgers expected to return for his final NFL season. The team has been active in upgrading its roster in the interim, acquiring players such as Jamel Dean, Michael Pittman Jr., and Jaquan Brisker. The drafting of Max Iheanachor in the first round suggests a potential shift for Broderick Jones, though the offensive line may still face challenges at the tackle position.
The Steelers now boast a strong receiving corps, featuring Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, and Germie Bernard. The central question remains whether Aaron Rodgers, at 42 years old, can still perform at a high level to maximize this unit's potential, especially after a promising debut in 2025 with fewer resources.
