The week before last, the Pittsburgh Steelers made some franchise history by having every draft pick from a class dress and play in the same game—even to have every draft pick from a class to dress and play in any game. There was a slight caveat in that accomplishment, though one that has been sort of amended.
While sixth-round safety Antoine Brooks had dressed for two games, he did as a practice squad player who was given a standard elevation to be promoted to the active roster for those games, something that never existed before this season.
