The last few times members of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaching staff has talked about veteran wide receiver Steven Sims, they’ve consistently used one word to describe the slot receiver and return specialist: electric.
Head coach Mike Tomlin called Sims, who has spent the last two seasons with the Steelers on the practice squad or on the 53-man roster, an electric player with the football in his hands on Tuesday during his weekly media session.
On Thursday, outside of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side following practice, second-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada used that same word to describe the 25-year-old receiver, praising him for working hard and providing a spark to the Steelers when called upon.
