Biggest winners and losers from Steelers' 2026 training camp
Here are the biggest winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 training camp in Latrobe.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 training camp concluded early due to unforeseen circumstances, prompting a reevaluation of the camp's biggest winners and losers. Among the most notable successes was QB Drew Allar, who surpassed expectations at camp. Backup QB Mason Rudolph and starting CB Jalen Ramsey, along with Joey Porter Jr., generated considerable buzz, but Allar stood out as the top performer.
CB Asante Samuel Jr. made the most of limited opportunities following the departures of Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr., his preseason performances earning him regular playing time. OT Max Iheanachor demonstrated significant improvement against top edge rushers, securing his spot on the winners list. Broderick Jones, drafted to replace Jones, made the most of his time at camp despite his future at Pittsburgh remaining uncertain.
Conversely, Troy Fautanu, Gennings Dunker, and RB Kaleb Johnson struggled to make an impact at camp, with Fautanu and Dunker specifically facing challenges in adapting to their new positions. Johnson, too, faced stiff competition from other running backs, casting doubt on his prospects for a 53-man roster spot.
