It's hard to believe, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are nearly at the halfway mark of the season.
So what better time than now to review where the team stands.
Here is the player that was turning the most heads through the first half of the season:

Hopefully we get Holcomb back and better than ever next year, as he is just approaching his prime.
