Former QB believes Steelers are 'quietest best team in football'

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 6/30/23

After an uncharacteristically active offseason, the Steelers have set themselves up very well for the 2023 season. So much so that one former QB thinks the rest of the league should start paying more attention to Pittsburgh.

"They're probably the quietest best team in football right now," Dan Orlovsky said on ESPN's "Get Up." "This is a football team right now that no one's really talking about ... they could make a lot of noise this football season."

Orlovsky, who played quarterback for the Lions, Texans, Colts and Buccaneers during his NFL career, could be right.

The Steelers added over a dozen new free agents, traded for WR Allen Robinson II and had what is thought to be one of the best draft classes in the NFL this offseason.

Only time will tell how good Pittsburgh's roster is, but Orlovsky highlighted four players that he believes will have a major impact for the team this season.

"Two of the best defensive players in football in Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. Watt and then they have two of the better young offensive players in football in both George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth," Orlovsky added.

If the Steelers can stay healthy and have some of their players take a leap this year, they could certainly surprise a lot of teams in 2023.
