Nick Farabaugh Promoted to Full-Time Beat Writer With Steelers Now

After three years with the Steelers Now crew and covering the team in a part-time capacity, I’m elated to share that moving forward, I will join Alan Saunders on the Pittsburgh Steelers beat in a full-time capacity here at Steelers Now. 

Since joining the website in 2020, I’ve had the pleasure and opportunity to cover many fantastic events ranging from covering the NFL Combine to the Senior Bowl to traveling to cover Steelers games and of course, Steelers home games. As someone who has learned the Steelers beat as much as possible as a young journalist in the wings, I can’t tell you how happy I am that I get to continue those connections moving forward.

Following my graduation from the University of Pittsburgh this April, I was unsure what the future held for me. But I am ecstatic to work on such a prestigious beat full time and be able to pour myself even deeper into learning the team. There’s more perspectives I want to cover from an interpersonal perspective, film perspective, and human perspective in the game of football. I’ve built a rapport with Steelers fans around the globe and feel extremely blessed to be able to continue to bring you coverage that makes me proud.

I remember when I started writing on a blog and aspiring to be a journalist when I was a 16 year old in high school. Now, I’m 22 and I feel like I’m starting to hit the iceberg of the coverage I can bring to you all. I’m excited to see the natural evolution this takes with the more time I pour into this profession. It’s a honor to be able to bring content to you all like this in a growing capacity.

In my three years on the beat, I’ve learned so much from coaches, scouts, media members, players, and more. It has helped me develop not only my writing, but hone my knowledge of football to help bring you unique perspectives. I can’t wait to finally fully pour myself into covering the Steelers with Steelers Now.
