A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article, but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for May 4.
HEIDENREICH BEHIND THE SCENES
The Steelers were part of one of the best moments during the 2026 draft. They selected Navy’s Eli Heidenreich in the seventh round, and the moment clearly meant a lot to him. Not only is he a Pittsburgh native, but he was at the draft, so he got to share that moment with people he cares about in the city he grew up in.
NFL Films captured that moment behind the scenes and shared it on Twitter. It offers insight into the conversation between Heidenreich and Omar Khan, and it shows the young player celebrating with his family. It’s incredibly sweet, and it makes a good moment even better.
PITTSBURGH TEAMS HELP CITY
Pittsburgh hosted the draft this year, a massive event. It was a resounding success, breaking the event’s attendance record. The draft may be done, but support for the city continues. This time, the Steelers aren’t the only professional team involved.
The Pittsburgh Penguins shared on Twitter that they, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Steelers are working together to help their city during June. Their goal is to support the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. While the Pirates are the only ones still playing, it’s nice to see all of them helping the city.
STEELERS FANS QUIZZED ON IRELAND
The Steelers made history last year by playing in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Ireland. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings, and hopefully that’s not the last time they play in the country. Although it won’t happen this season, the Steelers still have a strong connection with Ireland.
Michael McQuaid of Steelers Ireland put that to the test recently, though. He quizzed Steelers fans on Ireland in a video the team posted on YouTube. Some people did alright, while others struggled more. Perhaps some more Steelers trips to Ireland in the future will help fans learn even more about the country.
