When he was 16 more than a decade ago, Julius Welschof headed for a visit to the United States for the purpose of learning the American culture, American education, maybe even about American business. The Germany native couldn’t have imagined that what he took from that trip that would change...

Before workouts began this spring, Spencer Anderson has been wont to join the quarterbacks and some fellow offensive linemen to practice the QB/center exchange. “One time, Coach (Mike Tomlin) was like, ‘Spence, what are you doing over here?’ ” Anderson said Thursday. “I’m like, ‘I’m just helping out (the quarterbacks),...

The best guess in explaining the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to move most of their training-camp practices from their late-afternoon spot to mid-morning was that it was weather-related. Mike Tomlin threw cold water on that heat-related theory. “Let’s not overanalyze it,” Tomlin said when it was suggested to him that he...

Midway through the three-day mandatory minicamp, two of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ highest-profile players are sitting out drills. Coach Mike Tomlin on Wednesday confirmed neither defensive lineman Cameron Heyward nor running back Najee Harris was participating in team drills at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “Not anything that is going to be...

Only seven NFL teams had a lower yards-per-play average last season than the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only five had fewer passing plays of at least 20 yards. One of the team’s new quarterbacks believes that will change in 2024. “That’s just how our offense is built, to be honest with you,”...

On the eve of the first mandatory practice of the upcoming season, the Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up the signing of their draft class.

Now well established as an NFL running back, it wasn’t that long ago that Jaylen Warren was merely an undrafted rookie armed with just a modest low-five-figure signing bonus in his pocket, knowing he had plenty of work to do to buck the odds and make a name for himself...

Good morning, Sunshine — and welcome to training camp. In a break from longstanding practice, many Pittsburgh Steelers open practices at training camp from Saint Vincent College will start at 10:30 a.m. this summer. The Steelers released their training camp schedule Friday, a list of 16 practices open to the...

As a rookie in 2023, Joey Porter Jr. quickly earned the trust of Pittsburgh Steelers coaches in duties as a so-called “shutdown corner.” By the end of the season, Porter was regularly tasked with lining up opposite the opponent’s most potent receiving threat each week. In Year 2, Porter intends...

He’s the other heavily used Pittsburgh Steelers running back who is in the final season of his contract. And while Najee Harris’ feelings aren’t known because he has remained (publicly) silent, for Jaylen Warren, it’s more because he’s politely declined to speak on it.

Jaray Jenkins was part of a national championship team. He caught a touchdown pass in a bowl game. One during an SEC championship game, too. Jenkins believes that résumé – one that included 14 touchdowns against SEC competition for LSU – means much more than the 40-yard dash time of...
