Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers opened minicamp Tuesday and running back Najee Harris talked about how the team's offensive identity is much further along than last year. That will involve being a better rushing team, and finding a way to balance that with Kenny Pickett in the passing game. But how can that work with the Steelers' favor more in 2023? Also, wide receiver Diontae Johnson spoke to media and addressed that his primary focus for 2023 was to improve his yards after catch (YAC), and talked about his more developed relationship with Kenny Pickett. Also, Chris Carter and Alan Saunders discuss which Steelers player will become the voice of the offense? Is it Najee Harris? Diontae Johnson? Or Kenny Pickett?
