Steelers Bring In Former Vikings Superstar for Workout — Super Bowl Champion, 2× All-Pro, 5× Pro Bowler

Stephon Gilmore: 'No Hard Feelings' Toward Patriots After Trade to Panthers

Pittsburgh, PA – September 2025 – One hamstring injury. One gut punch. For the Steelers, Joey Porter Jr.’s setback feels bigger than a medical note — it’s a crack in the foundation of their young, swagger-filled defense. And into that silence, a name echoes: Stephon Gilmore.

Porter Jr., the heir to the Porter legacy, left the field with a limp and frustration in his eyes. Officially, he’s “day-to-day.” Inside the locker room, they know the truth: hamstrings don’t heal on schedules.

“You can’t rush this,” one defensive assistant admitted. “And we can’t keep throwing our young corners out there without help.”

At 34, Gilmore carries a résumé that could hang in Canton: Super Bowl champion. Five-time Pro Bowler. Defensive Player of the Year.

Once the league’s ultimate shadow corner, he still carries the calm of a man who’s seen every route before it’s run. And he’s made it clear this offseason: he isn’t finished.

When asked about the idea of Pittsburgh, Gilmore didn’t flinch.
“I’ve played in big moments. I’ve won rings. But what matters most now is finding a team that feels like family — and the Steelers? They’ve always been that kind of team.”

The Steelers thrive on toughness, leadership, and trust. Gilmore doesn’t need to be the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year again. He just needs to be steady, fearless, and the veteran voice this secondary craves.

For a locker room searching for stability, his presence would mean more than numbers. It would mean belief.

The front office hasn’t shown its hand. But the AFC North is ruthless, and Pittsburgh knows one truth: they can’t afford to hesitate.

As one fan put it on X:
“Steelers don’t rebuild. Steelers reload. Bring Gilmore to the Steel City.”

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
