They have six Super Bowl victories, tied for the most by one franchise, and one of the biggest fan bases in the league. Therefore, they were chosen as one of the teams to represent the NFL in a recent partnership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1957475137952895447\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">As Ari Meirov shared on Twitter,<\/a> the NFL has partnered with Crocs, launching a collection of shoes based on specific teams, including the Steelers. This is great news for fans who like to wear Crocs. It\u2019s an example of how popular the Steelers are. We\u2019ll see how popular they end up becoming.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The NFL and Crocs announced a multi-year licensing agreement today, launching the first-ever NFL x Crocs Collection \u2014 aimed at bringing a fresh design perspective to football fandom. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PbfIGzYpm0\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/PbfIGzYpm0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1957475137952895447?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BALDINGER BREAKS DOWN JOHNSON\u2019S PLAY<\/p>\n<p>Rookie Kaleb Johnson didn\u2019t have a great showing in his first preseason game. He didn\u2019t have much of an impact, and after the game, he explained that <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/08\/kaleb-johnson-believes-he-was-too-timid-in-steelers-preseason-debut\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he felt like he was playing too timidly.<\/a> However, he put together a nice bounce-back game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BaldyNFL\/status\/1957531178203807894\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Baldinger posted a video on his Twitter<\/a> where he broke down some of Johnson\u2019s plays. He was impressed with the rookie\u2019s performance. It had to be a nice confidence boost, although Johnson still isn\u2019t satisfied. We\u2019ll see if he looks even better in the Steelers\u2019 preseason finale.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Steelers Depot daily segment.
