Since there isn’t a whole lot to talk about during the off-season, rankings are the talk of the town, and the Steelers took the top spot in one of those rankings.

At last! Someone has finally put the Steelers No. 1 on their ranking list. Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus did just that.

I try my best not to be a “homer,” but this makes me happy. Although I appreciate everyone’s opinion, I think the Steelers have gotten shafted in a lot of rankings lists this off-season. I mean, yeah, our defense is a work in progress, but our offense is stacked. Now, let’s take a look at our offense (excluding Martavis Bryant): Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, DeAngelo Williams, Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Sammie Coates, Ladarius Green, Jesse James, Alejandro Villanueva, Roman Foster, Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro, and Marcus Gilbert.

Now, obviously, the Steelers offense isn’t full of “stars,” but it’s very well rounded. I think they’re capable of scoring 30+ points every game, depending on the health of certain players.

I was going to post what Nathan Jahnke said about the ranking, but I’d prefer it if you clicked on his name at the beginning of this article, and check out his whole ranking list.

Here we go, Steelers! Here we go!
