The Steelers’ No. 4 carries a rich legacy. Metcalf arrives in Pittsburgh as the latest No. 4 honoree after a blockbuster Seattle-to-Steelers trade, joining a QB-receiver dynamic with Rodgers in the mix. The five most recent Steelers to wear No. 4 are Metcalf (2025–present), Kyle Allen (2024), Matthew Wright (2022), Nick Sciba (2022) and Jordan Berry (2015–2020). Josh Miller stands as the franchise’s greatest No. 4, a punter who piled up yards and later earned a Super Bowl title with New England.

Josh Miller’s punting craft anchors the No. 4 lore, while Metcalf’s immediate impact could redefine this historic digit for years to come. The Jets loom as the Week 1 foil at MetLife, and the Steelers’ Nos. 4 thread a narrative of top-tier specialization, big trades, and a potential prime-time QB-WR pairing that fantasy players will monitor closely all season.
