End Of June Weekend: Steelers Friday Night Five Questions

Happy Friday and I hope yinz are doing well.

We’re slowly marching on to the start of training camp and for us, the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 season. We have our tickets for camp at St. Vincent College in its glorious return to where summer football should be held. Beyond that, it’s been a quiet week for Steelers’ news, though Terry McLaurin’s new deal makes Diontae Johnson’s situation that much tougher. 

Hope you all have a great weekend and that you enjoyed following our continued coverage. I thank you for visiting the site and we appreciate all of your great feedback. As always, we have five Friday night questions for you to answer.

Peace and love, peace and love!

1 – Rank these three interceptions in order of greatness: Troy Polamalu’s AFC Championship Game pick-six against the Ravens, Troy Polamalu’s diving, one-handed INT against the Chargers, and James Harrison’s Super Bowl, 100 yard pick-six.

2 – If Diontae Johnson gets a long-term extension from Pittsburgh, what do you think the average yearly value will be? For reference, Terry McLaurin’s deal averages out to $23.3 million.

3 – It’s very early but what position do you think Pittsburgh is most likely to draft in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft?

4 – The Steelers’ offense averaged 20.2 PPG last year. Will they average more or less than that in 2022?

5 – Which Kevin Colbert free agent signing was worse – Sean Mahan or Ladarius Green?
