Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 76: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 76 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 76 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 76 wearer: OT Troy Fautanu The Steelers selected Fautanu with the 20th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. His selection was a welcome one — a move aimed at putting the finishing touches on Pittsburgh's offensive line rebuild. Fautanu may have practically missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a knee injury he sustained last year, but he remains in the Steelers' long-term plans for the offensive tackle position. Last five Steelers to wear No. 76: Best No. 76 in Steelers history: DE John Banaszak Banaszak played with the Steelers from 1975 to 1981, winning three Super Bowls alongside the legendary Steel Curtain defense as the starting right defensive end. He may not have been as flashy as other members of this all-time great unit, but he contributed to the start of the Steelers' dynasty nonetheless. Though sacks didn't become an official statistic until 1982, Banaszak finished his NFL and Steelers career with 22.5 sacks, five fumble recoveries, and one interception.

Auburn football 2025 player profile: LB Demarcus Riddick
Riddick will look to anchor the Auburn linebacker room as a sophomore in 2025. One of the few areas of question this season for the Auburn Tigers will be at linebacker. Who will anchor the unit? A worthy candidate would be sophomore Demarcus Riddick, who burst onto the scene quickly in his career. After making two total stops in his first two games, Riddick broke out against Oklahoma with six tackles and a sack in just 23 snaps played. He went on to make at least two tackles in each of the final six games, with his next top performance coming against Vanderbilt, when he made five stops. In all, Riddick created 16 pressures last season with 11 quarterback hurries and three sacks. Riddick, along with Robert Woodyard and LSU transfer Xavier Atkins, are expected to run the linebacker corps this season, which will allow younger players such as Jakaleb Faulk, DJ Barber, and Bryce Deas to develop.
