5 Steelers players bandwagons to hop on before its too late

With the Steelers fielding a relatively new roster in 2021, these five players have the long-term potential to be real impact players.

There may be nothing worse in the world of professional sports than to be labeled a bandwagon fan. This shot makes it seem like you only care about players when they are good and teams when they are winning. If, however, you find a player poised to breakout, you can avoid such a label as you liked this player before they were big. The Steelers roster is filled with players that have little name value as of now but could in the very near future. Here are the five Steelers players that you should hop on the bandwagon now before it’s too late.

Steelers Zach Banner

Last year was supposed to be Zach Banners redemption tour. After almost falling out of the league, he rebuilt his body and image and earned the starting right tackle job out of camp. Unfortunately, Banner tore his ACL in the first game and was lost for the year. He now returns on a two-year deal and figures to resume his role at right tackle. While he has garnered some attention amongst the Steelers media, he is a relative unknown in the league.

This figures to change this season, as he should be a 17-game starter (assuming he stays healthy) and figures to fit well in this new offense. With the Steelers focused on establishing a crushing running game, Banner will be able to use his immense size to open lanes for Najee Harris. By year’s end, Banner could very well be in the conversation of one of the better right tackles in the league. He has a great personality to boot, so hopping on the Banner bandwagon now would be a wise move.
