Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well.
We’re still in a lull of the NFL calendar though that will quickly change. The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is right around the corner, and we’ll have multiple Steelers Depot members in Indianapolis for the event. Not only to talk to the more than 300 prospects attending but we’ll also hear from Steelers general manager Omar Khan for the first time since the season ended.
The site will also be tracking all the weigh-ins and testing. We’ll have that information shared in a spreadsheet for draft nerds like us to follow along.
Pittsburgh seemingly finalized its coaching staff this week by officially naming Scott McCurley the team’s new inside linebackers coach. He’ll replace Aaron Curry. The Steelers also made their first cut of the offseason, releasing EDGE Preston Smith in a predictable and major cap-saving move.
As always, we’ll be here to cover whatever happens over the weekend while continuing to add to our 2025 draft scouting reports, a list that now contains over 100 players.
A reminder that the contest portion of our Friday Five is over. These questions are now just for fun. Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated.
Peace and love, peace and love!
