February 26, 2026 What Second Spots Should Steelers Target in Draft? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's the second day of prospect interviews at the 2026 NFL Combine, which continued on Thursday morning with safeties and cornerbacks.
The Pittsburgh Steelers definitely need so help in the secondary, with just Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott under contract as starters right now. Furthermore, they don't even seem sure where Ramsey will play after he dressed at outside cornerback, slot and free safety last season. So what should Omar Khan be looking for in the draft?
Alan breaks it down.

February 23, 2026 Is Ty Simpson the Most Important Player at the Combine? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's a bit of a preview of the 2026 NFL Combine, which starts on Tuesday at Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, and will feature exactly one first-round option for the Steelers at the quarterback position in Alabama's Ty Simpson.
We know Pittsburgh was interested enough in Simpson to scout Alabama at least four times during the 2025 college football season -- but are they still interested, and what do they and the rest of the NFL make of his medical issues and struggles down the stretch run of the 2025 season? That remains a mystery, that might be partially revealed this week.
Alan breaks it down.

February 20, 2026 Could Steelers Trade Back in 2026 Draft? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's the idea, put forth by NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah on Thursday, that general manager Omar Khan could trade back in the 2026 NFL Draft. With 12 picks already, that sounds crazy on the surface, but what if, instead of acquiring 2026 draft capital in exchange for moving back, Khan targeted 2027 picks in an effort to rebuild his war chest for a future quarterback trade up? That might make some sense.
Alan breaks it down.
