Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 67: a history of the number and who wore it best
Current Steelers No. 67 wearer: OT Calvin Anderson
After spending three seasons with the Broncos and one with the Patriots, Anderson signed with the Steelers in September 2024 as much-needed depth in Pittsburgh. He would appear in only four games for the Steelers but signed a two-year extension this past April. Anderson is arguably Pittsburgh's top backup offensive tackle but could be pushed this upcoming training camp by rookie OT Gareth Warren and OT Dylan Cook.
Last five Steelers to wear No. 67:
Best No. 67 in Steelers history: DT/NT Gary Dunn
When it comes to No. 67, no Steeler wore it better than Dunn. Selected by Pittsburgh with the 159th overall pick in the sixth round of the 1976 NFL Draft, Dunn became a two-time Super Bowl champion and served a pivotal role along the Steel Curtain defense. He played in Pittsburgh from 1976 to 1987 and was named second-team All-Pro (NEA) in 1984. Dunn's consistency, relentless work ethic, and championship pedigree earn him the rightful title as the Steeler best to wear No. 67.

2026 4-star small forward will take OV to Texas A&M in late August
New Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan has been on a roll this summer after landing 10 players from the transfer portal, and international Spanish star shooter Rubén Domínguez over the past three months. Currently, the Aggies are expected to compete for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, given the talent and experience on the 2025 roster, despite being a completely new team. On the recruiting trail, McMillan has already made a dent in the 2026 recruiting class and has been much more active compared to former head coach Buzz Williams, who relied on the transfer portal year after year to build each roster. While that worked for the most part, he never truly developed young prospects outside of the program's all-time leading scorer, Wade Taylor IV. While he has yet to land a 2026 commit, the offers, and future visits have continued to flow, including Wednesday's news that 2026 four-star small forward Trent Perry will take an official visit to College Station by the end of the summer during the opening weekend of Texas A&M's 2025 football season on August 29-30. Like Kannon Torres stated above, Perry is one of the better downhill scorers, and his time at the prestigious Link Academy makes him ready to play at the next level due to the elite competition he is already facing. Again, this is just scratching the surface for McMillan and his staff, but it's a solid start nonetheless. According to 247Sports, Perry is currently positioned as the 58th-ranked small forward and the 7th-ranked prospect in Missouri.

Bill Cowher Doesn't Hold Back on Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Expectations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With all due respect to wide receiver DK Metcalf, the Pittsburgh Steelers' signing of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers was arguably the team's biggest acquisition of the offseason. Rodgers has made it clear that 2025 will likely be his last season, after which he plans to live a private life out of the public eye while leaving the NFL behind. Because of those comments he made during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," some have questioned whether or not Rodgers' heart is still with football, and whether or not he has enough left in the tank to help the Steelers snap their streak of eight straight seasons without a playoff win. But for as many doubters as Rodgers has, he seemingly has one big believer in former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, who led Pittsburgh to 149 wins, 10 playoff appearances, eight division titles, six AFC Championship Game appearances, two Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl championship during his 15-year tenure with the team.

Dan Beineke/NFLPhotoLibrary During a recent appearance on the "Dan Patrick Show," Cowher laid out his expectations for Rodgers and how he should run the Steelers' offense. "I think Aaron's at a point where he knows, you don't want him to be throwing the ball 40 times a game, at this point," Cowher said. "You want Aaron Rodgers to be healthy going into the playoffs — hopefully you get to the playoffs. "I think in the meantime you've created a balance on your football team and not just relying on his arm throughout the course of four quarters. Listen, you can turn the ball over to him at the end of the half, end of a game and know he's been there before. I think he will operate that very efficiently. Again, I think it's going to be a matter of getting comfortable within this system with the players he has around him."

"Eight years, no playoff wins — there is a degree of urgency in that building, no question about it," Cowher continued. "They understand that that's part of it. Part of that is winning your want to win your division first, and I think that's what's first and foremost when you look at what they've done."
