4 Lesser-Known Steelers Who Could Have A Major Impact Next Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been a team defined by their high-profile stars and standout performers. However, behind the scenes, there are players whose contributions are often overlooked, but equally vital to the team’s success. These underrated athletes may not always make the headlines, but their impact on the field is undeniable.

From unsung heroes in the defensive lineup to offensive playmakers quietly shaping the game, these athletes exemplify the depth and talent within the Steelers’ roster. Let’s take a look at the following underdogs who deserve some recognition.

And, if you’re a bit of a risk-taker and would like to place a wager on one of the below players who may prove to be promising. Our advice is to sign up at your chosen provider through NoDepositTracker – not only do many providers there offer sportsbook platforms, but they also have some of the hottest free bets and no deposit bonuses you can find!

1. Nate Herbig 

Often overshadowed by his more well-known brother, Nate Herbig joined the Steelers as a free agent during the 2023 offseason. In his debut season with the team, Herbig served as the primary backup for the interior offensive line, a role he is expected to continue moving forward.

However, Herbig could play a much larger role for the Steelers in 2024. Currently, the team lacks a proven center, and unless Zach Frazier is absolutely ready come Week 1, Herbig has a strong chance of starting at the position.

While Herbig has extensive experience at both guard positions, he has only played 49 snaps at center in his NFL career, with 47 of those coming during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. Despite this, Herbig, now entering his fifth NFL season, is just 25 years old and boasts a powerful build. With his versatility and potential, don’t be surprised if he steps up and makes a significant impact in 2024.

2. Cory Trice Jr. 

Cory Trice Jr. is a name that may have slipped under your radar last season. Drafted by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Trice’s rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL during training camp.

It’s often unwise to place high expectations on late-round picks, especially those coming off major injuries. However, Trice’s talent and potential are undeniable if he can remain healthy. If not for his significant medical history, Trice likely would have been selected on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Trice will need to seize limited opportunities to prove himself. With Pittsburgh facing a notable lack of depth at the cornerback position, this underrated player has the potential to surprise everyone with his performance in 2024. Keep an eye on Trice as he looks to make his mark on the field.

3. Elandon Roberts 

Amid the off-season buzz around the Steelers’ linebackers, the focus has been on new additions Patrick Queen and rookie Payton Wilson. However, Elandon Roberts, a dependable veteran, has been somewhat overlooked. In 2023, Roberts demonstrated his reliability by amassing 69 solo tackles and 101 total tackles. Despite the injuries that plagued the inside linebacker position, Roberts remained a steady force.

As he enters his second season with Pittsburgh, Roberts is aiming for his third consecutive year with 100 or more tackles. While Queen takes on the role of defensive signal-caller and Wilson vies for playing time, Roberts is expected to provide consistent leadership and stability to the Steelers’ defense. Keep an eye on this underdog as he continues to prove his worth on the field.

4. Isaac Seumalo 

As the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line looks set to improve in 2024, Isaac Seumalo‘s role will become increasingly vital, yet he may not get the recognition he deserves. Last season, Seumalo was arguably the team’s best lineman, and with enhancements at the center and tackle positions, he’s well-positioned to replicate that stellar performance in 2024. Despite his critical contributions, he often remains in the background.

The Steelers have a roster filled with reliable players who might not always make headlines but are essential to the team’s success. To thrive in 2024, Pittsburgh will need everyone performing at their best, not just the star players. Count on Seumalo, along with teammates like Roberts and Adams, to be key contributors from the very first snap of the regular season.
