Draft day was Broderick Jones first leap into the NFL. Friday was its reality. Jones and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class (along with select first-year players and tryout candidates) hit the practice field for Day One of the team’s three-day rookie minicamp that runs through the weekend. Speaking to reporters after practice, Jones talked about his initial NFL impressions to a new league and a new group of teammates.
“I don’t feel like it’ll be easy but I don’t feel like it’ll be extremely hard,” Jones said of the jump to the NFL, as tweeted by The Trib’s Joe Rutter.
