The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively seeking to fill the void left by Minkah Fitzpatrick's departure to the Miami Dolphins. General manager Omar Khan has made a significant trade, bringing in cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith while sending Fitzpatrick back to Miami. This leaves the Steelers in need of a safety, and local talent Jordan Whitehead may be a fitting option given his roots in Pennsylvania and his collegiate experience at the University of Pittsburgh.

Whitehead, drafted in the fourth round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018, has demonstrated his skills as a safety and could provide both familiarity and capability to the Steelers' defense. As they look to bolster their secondary, Whitehead’s potential to return to his home state offers an intriguing possibility for both the player and the team.
