Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So goes the old adage. Well, the smoke has been pluming up from Steelers’ headquarters for months. That’s where the black-and-gold brain trust is purportedly interested in drafting a quarterback on the evening of April 28.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

Its impact on both the present and future in Pittsburgh cannot be underestimated.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

Call it Steelers’ training camp South. Newly signed free agent quarterback Mitch Trubisky is opening up his Florida home to his fellow Steelers quarterbacks and offensive skill players for a mini training camp to get the Pittsburgh new offense in rhythm. It’s exactly what you want to see in early April if you’re a Steelers fan.&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

It’s understandable that Steelers GM Kevin Colbert declared Mason Rudolph the team’s starting quarterback if the season began now. After all, Rudolph is the only quarterback currently under contract to the team. But it was a bridge too far in the city of bridges when Colbert added he’s excited to see what Rudolph can do as the Steelers’ starter.&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
