Pittsburgh Steelers: Schedule, record prediction, X-factors for 2021 NFL season
Pittsburgh Steelers X-factors for the 2021 NFL season
Joe Schobert, Inside Linebacker
Pittsburgh traded for Joe Schobert in the middle of the preseason. Schobert and Devin Bush should form quite the talented linebacker duo in the middle of their defense. His success on the field will go a long way towards the success of the defense as a whole in 2021 as the departure of Vince Williams leaves a void for a veteran presence like Schobert to fill.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Wide Receiver
Was it the offensive coordinator that was the cause of JuJu Smith-Schuster taking a step backward, or is the mercurial wide receiver and TikTok enthusiast just not what everyone thought he was in 2018?
Smith-Schuster will need to return to his 2018 form in order for the Pittsburgh Steelers to get where they want to go in 2021.
Kendrick Green, Center
Kendrick Green will be the anchor of the Steelers offensive line in 2021, even as a mid-round pick in his first NFL season.

If the rookie lineman can prove up to the challenge, he will have a large influence on the Steelers running and passing games. Green has a really nasty demeanor, which should play well to the Pittsburgh faithful.
