Countdown To Steelers Camp: 50 In 25 Series – Johnny Maxey 2017 Preview

The calendar has now flipped over to July and that means the Pittsburgh Steelers annual training camp will be getting underway in Latrobe later this month. As usual, we have several series planned to get you ready for this year’s training camp and mine will center around preview profiles of 50 players over the course of the next 25 days. Most of these profiles will be on players who were under contract with the team in 2016.

Up thirty-eighth in this series is a 2017 preview profile of defensive end Johnny Maxey.

Intro: After opening the 2016 regular season on the Steelers practice squad, Maxey, an undrafted free agent, ultimately found himself on the team’s 53-man roster later in the season due to injuries.
