Quarterbacks and skill positions
Aaron Rodgers holds the top quarterback spot on Pittsburgh’s depth chart, with Mason Rudolph next, followed by Will Howard and Drew Allar. Jaylen Warren leads the running backs ahead of Rico Dowdle, Lew Nichols and Travis Homer. Those rankings put Rodgers and Warren first in their respective groups, while Rudolph and Dowdle occupy the immediate backup spots. The depth order alone does not establish a workload split for the backfield. DK Metcalf sits first at wide receiver, with Brandon Smith second. At tight end, Darnell Washington ranks ahead of Pat Freiermuth and Robert Tonyan. That ordering places Washington atop the position, though it does not assign receiving opportunities among the three. Riley Nowakowski holds the No. 1 fullback spot.
Offensive line
Pittsburgh’s first-ranked offensive line consists of Troy Fautanu at left tackle, Mason McCormick at left guard, Zach Frazier at center, Brock Hoffman at right guard and Max Iheanachor at right tackle. Ryan McCollum is second at center, Spencer Anderson is second at right guard and Dylan Cook is second at right tackle. Jack Driscoll holds the third spot at left tackle, while Gennings Dunker is third at left guard.
Defensive front and safeties
Yahya Black leads the left defensive end group, followed by Gabriel Rubio and Derrick Harmon. On the right side, Cameron Heyward ranks first, Kevin Jobity Jr. second and Logan Lee third. Keeanu Benton holds the top nose tackle spot ahead of Sebastian Joseph-Day, giving Pittsburgh a two-player order at that position. Jaquan Brisker ranks first at free safety. DeShon Elliott leads the strong safeties, with Robert Spears-Jennings second.
Special teams
Kaden Wetjen leads the punt-return order, with Roman Wilson second and Donte Kent third. Eli Heidenreich occupies the No. 2 kickoff-return spot. Cameron Johnston holds the top punter position, and Christian Kuntz ranks first at long snapper.
