In Arthur Smith’s first year as offensive coordinator, the Steelers ranked No. 16 in points scored and No. 23 in total yards, relying heavily on their running game with a No. 4 finish in rushing attempts but only No. 29 in passing attempts. With Aaron Rodgers as quarterback and DK Metcalf as the lead receiver for the 2025 season, Smith anticipates significant changes in their offensive strategy, emphasizing the need to adapt to personnel strengths. He acknowledged the importance of evolving the team’s approach based on roster changes and player skill sets during minicamp and training camp.
