Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 56: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 56 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. 56 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 56 wearer: OLB Alex Highsmith One of the most underrated yet dominant pass rushers in the NFL today, Alex Highsmith currently wears No. 56 for the Steelers. Drafted with the 102nd overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Highsmith has produced 35.5 sacks in his first five seasons with Pittsburgh. With T.J. Watt's current holdout showing no signs of slowing down, expect Highsmith to play a pivotal role in getting the Steelers edge rushers ready for the 2025 season. Last five Steelers to wear No. 56: Best No. 56 in Steelers history: OLB LaMarr Woodley While many Steelers greats have donned No. 56, OLB LaMarr Woodley is the best. Woodley was drafted by Pittsburgh with the 46th overall pick in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft, playing in 94 games over seven seasons with the Steelers from 2007 to 2013. A force off the edge, Woodley helped lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl XLIII victory. He also earned Second-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2009, after leading the team with 13.5 sacks. Woodley's impressive 57 career sacks with the Steelers rank ninth in team history. A standout presence in one of Pittsburgh's toughest defensive eras, Woodley is the greatest Steeler to ever wear No. 56. Honorable mentions: LB Robin Cole, who played in 150 games for Pittsburgh, was a four-time Super Bowl champion, and earned Pro Bowl honors in 1984; and C Ray Mansfield, who played in 182 games for the Steelers and was a two-time Super Bowl champion.

Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo take next step in new romance: Instagram soft launch
Shailene Woodley and 'Emily in Paris' heartthrob Lucas Bravo are Instagram official, even if it may not look like it upon first glance. The pair of actors soft-launched their relationship in separate posts documenting their recent trips to multiple Southern California destinations. Woodley, 33, and Bravo, 37, first sparked romance rumors in March when they were spotted getting cozy with each other during a stroll in Paris. On Wednesday, Bravo posted a carousel of photos and videos capturing his time at the Stagecoach festival in Indio and his views during a pit stop at the vibrant landmarks of Slab City. Bravo included photos of his hand holding Woodley's, snaps of the 'Fault in Our Stars' actor with friends at Stagecoach and pictures of the environmental activist sitting and standing among Salvation Mountain's eclectic artworks. Woodley on Sunday offered her take at a soft launch and added some 'Star Wars' flare. The 'Big Little Lies' actor shared her own Instagram carousel of photos of a recent trip to Disneyland, specifically the attractions in the park's Galaxy's Edge area. 'May the 4th be...' she captioned her photos of the park's large set pieces, intricate facades — and a picture of Bravo walking in front of the Millennium Falcon. In true soft-launch fashion, neither of the actors tagged the other nor made their romance the focal point of their respective posts. Woodley and Bravo have kept their romance low-key for the most part, but in an April interview with People, the latter said 'I'm really happy' about the new relationship. 'Divergent' star Woodley was previously engaged to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That engagement broke off in February 2022.
