Steelers Preseason Preview: 5 Players to Watch | NFL News

Steelers preseason kicks off with a Packers showdown — and it’s a make-or-break moment for five key players. QB Drew Allar, the third-round pick, gets the spotlight with expected second-half reps that could reshape the QB depth chart. Will Howard is also in the mix, aiming to steal the backup role from Mason Rudolph. On the offensive line, Broderick Jones, recovered from a serious neck injury, must prove his technique and consistency are back to full strength. Defense sees a new look under Patrick Graham’s three-outside linebacker scheme — Jack Sawyer needs a dominant showing to force his way into the rotation. And don’t sleep on Robert Spears-Jennings, the seventh-round safety making an early impact — he’s primed to leapfrog others and earn a significant role if he delivers against Green Bay.
