The Pittsburgh Steelers had an eventful offseason these past several months, completely reshaping their roster and coaching staff. And one legendary quarterback has taken notice.

"I think this team is a legit playoff team," Roethlisberger said. "… This is a legit playoff team. They have a legit chance to win games in the playoffs. And I hate to say a Super Bowl contender, I think that it's always a bold statement. But this is a team that has the potential to get to the Super Bowl, for sure."
Roethlisberger also added that there are "a lot of what-ifs" that weigh on his prediction, such as keeping Aaron Rodgers healthy and players adapting to the new system.
When looking at all the major offseason additions the Steelers made and some underrated coaching staff upgrades, like hiring Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator, it's easy to see why Big Ben believes his former squad is capable of big things in 2026.
