LATROBE, Pa. -- "Ahh, man, I wasn't expecting any questions.'
That was Benny Snell, neon-orange hoodie pulled up, strolling out of the locker room at Saint Vincent College after an early practice. At Steelers training camp, that's how this works: Media gathers outside and waits for players to make their way into and out of the locker room for a chance to talk. If you want to interview a player, you simply walk up and ask them for a minute.
They rarely say "no."
But Snell clearly didn't want to talk. Head down, moving forward, hesitating when I asked for a second of his time — the signs were clear.
