Avoiding Rookie Wall Key For Terrell Edmunds, Steelers’ ROY Recipient

Many people didn’t expect Terrell Edmunds to be drafted in the first round. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t expect him to be a starter basically all season. If you include his work on special teams, though, only a few players in the NFL have spent more time on the field than has the rookie safety in 2018.

That is largely why he was the recipient of the Steelers’ Rookie of the Year Award as the standout performer of this year’s rookie class. He hasn’t made a ton of splash plays, but he has grown more and more solid with each passing week and has been a consistent presence.
