Breaking down the Steelers 90-man offseason roster by position group

Next week, the Steelers are scheduled to take the field as a team for Phase 3 of Organized Team Activities (OTAs). While these practices are not mandatory, they are the most “practice-like” teams can hold prior to training camp. So as the Steelers prepare to take the field, how does their roster break down at various positions?

After adding their draft picks as well as undrafted rookie free agents, the Steelers are up to 90 players on their offseason roster. While this makes it look like the Steelers are filled to capacity, they actually have 91 roster spots due to one player being part of the NFL’s International Pathway Program (IPP).So if the Steelers were to add another player at, let’s say quarterback, they would not have to make a corresponding roster move.
