Special teams: 3

Chris Boswell

Jordan Berry

Kameron Canaday

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had an incredible bounce-back year in 2019 after an ugly performance in 2018. Unfortunately, it came in a season where Pittsburgh was missing their star quarterback. There will be no competition at kicker this offseason, and Boswell’s recent play and hefty contract have him locked to the team for at least the 2020 season.

Jordan Berry had a respectable season in 2019 – averaging 45.5 yards per punt – while Kameron Canaday is the front runner to win out the Steelers long snapper job once again. No big surprises here.

There is a lot that could change between now and the start of the season, but this was an early look at my 53-man roster prediction for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020. Most players are locked into a role, but the bottom five or six players on the roster still need to be sorted out.
