PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers leave the field at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex for the last time this summer. As Organized Team Activities end, we look back at the best players in South Side over the last three weeks.
The Steelers have questions to answer this summer, and those answers begin to surface during the initial part of summer workouts. Looking back, ten names highlighted nearly 90 players who took the field.
Starting with
Tre Norwood, defensive back:
Replacing Mike Hilton might not be possible, but finding a new Cam Sutton could happen - and it starts with Norwood.
Norwood comes from Oklahoma as a sixth-round pick who played slot corner and safety. In Pittsburgh, he s playing both and seems to fit right in as a chess piece in the defensive backfield.

Cuts are a part of football. Every year all 32 teams need to shed 37 players from their active roster before the start of the regular season. Majority of the time the players cut will be nothing more than the guys on reserve/future contracts; however, sometimes those players force their way on to teams. Combine this with an influx of talent through the NFL Draft and a number of veteran players will find their names on the chopping block.
The players below are most in jeopardy of losing their jobs in the steel city. Not all of them will be cut, but due to circumstance a number of them will be. Other players could join this list because they are out of shape or have regressed, but until we see them in action here are some guys who could lose their jobs based on the Steelers outside moves.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still in the early stages of the 2021 offseason, but with the 2021 NFL Draft over the attention now turns to the regular season. There are steps along the way, mandatory minicamp, Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and training camp, but the position battles which will take shape throughout the offseason are worth discussion.
Sure, things could change between now and the start of training camp. Injuries, acquisitions and players emerging can alter the outcome of these battles, but there will be several key battles taking place. In this series, myself and Dave Schofield will be giving our analysis and prediction for each training camp battle which will unfold at some point this offseason.
