Here’s a quick roundup of some recent stories related to the Pittsburgh Steelers that may not warrant full articles but are definitely worth sharing with you all. Welcome to your Depot After Dark update for March 23.
METCALF ON THE MOVE
The Steelers made waves by acquiring DK Metcalf in a surprising trade and handing him one of the most significant contracts in the team’s history a couple of weeks ago. True to form, Metcalf is already hitting the gym hard. Not that we ever doubted his dedication, given his impressive build.
Take a look at his current workout routine shared on TikTok. It’s only Week 3, but with 18 more weeks lined up, it seems Metcalf is all set to tackle the season head-on. If you’re part of the #SteelerNation, you’ll want to keep an eye on this guy.

WELSCHOF’S HAPPY NEWS
Julius Welschof, who was part of the Steelers’ squad last season through the international pathway program, has shared some joyful news. He recently got engaged to his girlfriend, and they celebrated by posting adorable photos on social media.
This makes Welschof one of many current Steelers players stepping into exciting times personally, be it with engagements, weddings, or welcoming new additions to their families.
CELEBRATING PUPPY LOVE
Did you know it’s National Puppy Day? Several Steelers players have been sharing snapshots with their beloved pets on the team’s page on X. One standout is Calvin Austin III. Despite being listed at 5-foot-9 and 162 pounds, he poses confidently with three large pitbull mixes. It seems Austin invests a fair amount of his free time with his canine friends. Personally, I have just one dog, and they’re loads of work!
