Career with the Steelers
Driscoll, who began his career with thePhiladelphia Eagles(2020-2024), joined the Steelers in 2025. During his first six years in the NFL, Driscoll appeared in 67 games and made 18 starts. Driscoll served as emergency offensive tackle depth following major injuries toCalvin Anderson,Broderick Jones, andAndrus Peat. But whether he can do so again in 2026 is the real question.
What's next in 2026?
Pittsburgh currently hasTroy Fautanu,Dylan Cook, Max Iheanachor, and Broderick Jones as its top offensive tackles, which doesn't leave much room for Driscoll at the moment. Jones, however, has been connected to plenty of trade rumors over the past several months. If the Steelers opted to move on from their 2023 first-rounder, Driscoll could shore up a backup offensive tackle job. But the practice squad seems more likely for now.
