🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Keeanu Benton is holding a youth football camp at Janesville Craig High School in Janesville, Wisconsin on June 30. Fellow Steelers teammate Nick Herbig, Nate Herbig and Rodas Johnson will serve as guest coaches at the camp.
🏈 WWE superstar The Miz, who’s a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan, would love nothing more than to do troll the Steelers at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
At this year’s draft in Green Bay, WWE superstar Seth Rollins trolled Packers fans. Rollins is a die-hard Chicago Bears fan.
🏈 Steelers long snapped Christian Kuntz will be a a guest at Duquesne’s prospect camp on June 6.
Kuntz, a graduate of Chartiers Valley High School in the Pittsburgh area, starred at Duquesne from 2012-2016.
During is decorated tenure with the Dukes, Kuntz was a three-time All-American, a part of three NEC Conference titles, recorded 30.5 sacks which was a program record and 71.5 tackles for loss which ranks sixth all-time in FCS history.
Kuntz was inducted into the Duquesne Athletics Hall of Fame on Jan. 29.
🏈 Fansided’s DJ Dunson wants the Steelers to sign Deon Cain, who right now is leading the UFL in receiving. Cain also played for the Steelers in 2019-2020.
“If the Steelers are going to have a free-for-all to be the WR2, he may as well open it up for the UFL’s best receiver,” Dunson wrote. “Cain, 28, is still in his athletic prime, stands at 6-foot-2, and is built like a tank. However, talent is not how he fell out of the league before.
“… In his first training camp, Cain tore his ACL, then fell out of favor with the Colts during his second year. Cain isn’t going to light it up, but given the depths they went to a year ago in search of receiver help, he’s an option worth exploring. Ironically, Cain is also a former teammate of Mike Williams whose stint in Pittsburgh last year started with a splash and ended with a whimper.”
🏈 Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith joined The Insiders on NFL Network to talk offseason workouts, the team’s QB situation, how to reverse sear the perfect steak and more. In regard to Aaron Rodgers, Highsmith will be thrilled if the four-time league MVP joins the Black and Gold.
“If (Aaron Rodgers) does sign with us, it’s going to be really exciting to have him,” Highsmith said.
🏈 Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph welcomes competition for the starting QB position.
“Competition is so normal. I’m so used to it now. Every team’s adding quarterbacks every year, it’s just normal mode of operation,” Rudolph said on the Kaboly + Mack podcast. “I learned a long time ago, you know, who it is, and then financial compensation, will really tell you what’s gonna go down as far as the depth chart.”
Rudolph said he’ll continue to work regardless of the outcome at QB.
“All I can really do, as cliche and annoying as it sounds, is just keep having a great spring and enjoying working with the receivers, learning the offense, making the most of every rep I can get,” Rudolph said. “That’s what I did in 2023; that’s what I’ve done my whole career, and you get opportunities, and you’ve just got to be ready to capitalize when they come. If that means starting or backing up, I can do that whole song and dance, and I’m confident that I can play well, win games, when my number’s called. So I’m gonna keep taking it day by day and we’ll see what happens.”
