Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 50: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 50 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. 50 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 50 wearer: LB Malik Harrison Malik Harrison is the current wearer of No. 50 on the Steelers roster. Drafted by the Ravens with the 98th overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Harrison spent his first five NFL seasons in Baltimore, where he totaled 174 combined tackles, seven tackles for loss, and two sacks across 76 games. He signed with the Steelers on a two-year, $10 million contract this offseason, aiming to serve as Pittsburgh's dedicated run-stopping linebacker. Last five Steelers to wear No. 50: Malik Harrison, 2025-present Elandon Roberts, 2023-2024 Malik Reed, 2022 Delontae Scott, 2021-2022 Ryan Shazier, 2014-2017 Best No. 50 in Steelers history: LB Ryan Shazier Despite only playing four seasons, Ryan Shazier is the best Steeler to ever wear No. 50. Drafted by Pittsburgh with the 15th overall pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Shazier wasted little time emerging as one of the league's most dynamic inside linebackers. From 2014 to 2017, Shazier produced 299 combined tackles, 24 tackles for loss, seven sacks, seven forced fumbles, and seven interceptions — being named to two Pro Bowls for his elite play. As many Steelers fans are aware, Shazier tragically suffered a career-ending spinal cord injury in 2017, but he never gave up on his long road to recovery — inspiring those facing seemingly impossible challenges in their lives. Though his time on the field was brief, what Shazier brought to the Steel City of Pittsburgh is irreplaceable — making him the best Steeler to ever wear No. 50. Honorable mention: LB David Little, who played in 179 games for the Steelers from 1981 to 1992 and earned one Pro Bowl during his consistent tenure with Pittsburgh.

Steelers LB Patrick Queen stirs up internet with cryptic post
Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers big defensive addition was inside linebacker Patrick Queen. Queen came over from the Baltimore Ravens and hoped to establish himself as one of the top inside linebackers in the AFC. Things didn't go exactly according to plan and the Steelers actually signed Malik Harrison in free agency this offseason. This is in addition to the healthy return of Cole Holcomb and the continued growth of Payton Wilson. This puts Queen in the mix for shared reps with this foursome of talented players. Could this be something Queen isn't happy about? This is what the internet is wondering after Queen sent out the post below on X of an hourglass. We will choose to give Queen the benefit of the doubt here and say that the point is in reference to Queen getting anxious for training camp and the season and he is just playing the waiting game. Not that he's waiting to be traded to another team. This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Steelers LB Patrick Queen stirs up internet with cryptic post

Marlon Humphrey calls out Malik Harrison for joining Steelers: ‘You pick the yellow team?'
Marlon Humphrey calls out Malik Harrison for joining Steelers: 'You pick the yellow team?' Marlon Humphrey may not be sending his former Ravens teammate, LB Malik Harrison, a Christmas card this year, as he recently took to social media to air his frustrations over his signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers: "It's 31 other teams and you pick the yellow one… [Malik Harrison] honestly, screw you." The Baltimore-based CB may be struggling to come to terms with the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers have now signed two of his Ravens teammates—both linebackers—in back-to-back offseasons, with LB Patrick Queen signing a three-year, $41 million contract in 2024. Harrison spent five years as Humphrey's teammate in Baltimore, and while his social media outburst was likely a humorous jab, the bad blood within the AFC North rivalry runs deep. Harrison will have the opportunity to respond on the field and in person when the Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Baltimore Ravens in their two head-to-head matchups—matchups that are sure not to disappoint.
