Steelers At Hall Of Fame Luncheon
The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the most decorated teams in the NFL, not only in terms of team success, with six Super Bowls, but also in terms of their players’ individual accomplishments. There are 32 players, coaches, and contributors from the Steelers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. With the enshrinement ceremony happening later today, several Steelers legends gathered at the Hall of Fame luncheon, posted by Tony Dungy on X.

Overall Madden Team Ratings
The new Madden game will be out soon, which means player and team ratings have just been released. The Steelers ended up in the top 10 for overall ratings. The Baltimore Ravens were in the top spot, but this had the Steelers in ninth overall and sixth in the AFC with an 86 overall rating.
NFL Refs Visit Camp
The Steelers usually have NFL refs out to training camp at some point to make sure players get practice playing a clean and penalty-free game. They also inform the team about the point of emphasis and any notable rule changes for the upcoming season. Today is that day for the Steelers with refs at practice, per The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo on X.
There are changes to the kickoff, overtime rules, and replay assist.
