The pads are finally on, and now the real evaluation begins.
On this episode of Steelers Hangover on the Steel Curtain Network, we discuss whether the Pittsburgh Steelers are truly heading in the right direction after the first padded practices of Training Camp 2026. Once the pads come on, the game changes. The physicality increases, the trenches take center stage, and position battles become much clearer.
We'll break down: 🏈 Who impressed once the pads came on 🏈 Winners and losers from practice 🏈 The offensive and defensive line battles 🏈 Aaron Rodgers and the offense 🏈 Young players making a push 🏈 Are the Steelers building something special for 2026?
Do the early signs point toward a legitimate contender, or are there still concerns that need to be addressed? Join us live and let us know your thoughts in the chat!
