The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for training camp with attention on several lesser known players at the bottom of the roster. New head coach Mike McCarthy and more than 30 offseason additions have reshaped the team. Camp opens July 28 at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.
The franchise enters the summer with a revamped roster and coaching staff. Much of the focus has centered on quarterback Aaron Rodgers and an aging defense that added several high salary players.
Five players stand out as largely overlooked entering camp. Offensive tackle Jack Driscoll offers versatility across tackle and guard positions after moving between the practice squad and active roster last season. Cornerback D’Shawn Jamison provides special teams experience and could compete for a spot under new coordinator Danny Crossman.
Center Ryan McCollum faces competition after the signing of Brock Hoffman. Cornerback Donte Kent returns from injury as a potential slot option and return specialist. Defensive lineman Gabriel Rubio, a 2026 sixth round pick, is expected to battle for practice squad consideration amid a crowded defensive line room.
