There's a new defender in the Pittsburgh Steelers ' secondary — former first-round S Jabrill Peppers — and fans should be excited.
Following the announcement of his one-year deal on Tuesday, Peppers' addition to the official Steelers roster page resulted in a sneak peek at which jersey number he'll wear this upcoming season: No. 40.
Here is a quick look at the history of the No. 40and the last five Steelers to wear the number.
Last five Steelers to wear No. 40:
-
Devin Harper , 2024–present
-
Blake Martinez , 2023
-
Jamir Jones , 2021–2022
-
Tegray Scales , 2020

Kerrith Whyte Jr., 2019
One of the best Steelers safeties of the mid-1990s, Myron "Boo" Bell also wore No. 40— a fan favorite in Pittsburgh, perhaps giving Peppers a head start to earning the admiration of Steelers Nation.
