Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin says new safety Juan Thornhill will play an important role in the defense.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Ray Seals has died at the age of 59, according to Syracuse.com and friends. Seals’ cause of death was not initially revealed. Seals had an unorthodox path to the NFL, having never played in college football and then became a starting caliber defensive end.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting on four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to decide where he's going this offseason. One of their newest players believes the quarterback will end up in Pittsburgh and have success.
