No. 5 is the new focal point for the Steelers with Jalen Ramsey wearing the number after a blockbuster swap sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami. The countdown to Week 1 vs Jets at MetLife centers on the No. 5 legacy: Ramsey’s elite pedigree, the five Steelers who’ve worn the digit, and Craig Colquitt’s legendary punting stretch as the franchise’s top No. 5. The piece knots the trade, the roster history, and the fantasy angles tied to a stronger secondary and improved special-teams ceiling.

The history shows Ramsey joined a secondary poised to lock down receivers, while the old No. 5 lineage includes Cameron Johnston, D’Shawn Jamison, Joshua Dobbs, and Bruce Gradkowski. Colquitt’s punt volume anchors the tradition as the greatest No. 5 wearer, a reminder that production from special teams can tilt fantasy DSTs and punt-related plays. Jets loom as Week 1 opponent, amplifying the intrigue for Week 1 lineups.
